“…Assuming the role of ecosystem contributor inhibits the ability to capture maximal value from the ecosystem compared to platform leaders, but simultaneously limits the risks and responsibilities associated with operating within an ecosystem (Khanagha et al 2022). However, while actors must decide on the role they will assume in a given ecosystem, they are not confined to one BE; instead, they can engage in multiple BEs and adjust their engagement models accordingly (Bosch-Sijtsema and Bosch 2015; Tukiainen et al 2019). Pellizzoni et al (2018) found that being an ecosystem leader is no longer imperative, as firms gain additional value from different roles in multiple ecosystems.…”

Motivated by the rapid advancements in the field of business ecosystems (BEs), this paper presents a holistic overview of existing research in the field of business ecosystem strategy. As scholars have noted, BE strategy poses new challenges and diverges from traditional thinking in multiple ways. Researchers have investigated parts of strategy in that regard; however, a holistic approach to BE strategy does not exist. To this end, this study relies on a systematic literature review approach and analyzes contributions from across disciplines in an attempt to derive a holistic ecosystem strategy framework. The study identifies six main elements that reflect strategic considerations along subsequent stages of decision-making. It then discusses the fifteen sub-streams identified in the literature, placing them in their strategic context. Based on this analysis, gaps in the literature and future research opportunities are identified. This study is motivated by the aspiration to make the topic of ecosystem strategies more accessible for scholars and practitioners, while enabling a broader discussion based on the current state of research.

“…The value perceived by entrepreneurs and start-ups in forming alliances was access to political, physical, technological, market, financial, cultural, contextual, institutional, and informational resources [92][93][94]. Stakeholders and key actors have sought to foster new start-ups through alliances for technology development (developing and acquiring technology and obtaining licenses) or improving knowledge flow (developing projects, receiving customers, providing licences, and other goals such as cost reduction) [22,[95][96][97][98].…”

“…Permeating the relationships, the authors present the environmental conditions, moderating factors, and control variables capable of positively or negatively influencing the EE results. Furthermore, were mentioned as requirements of the EEs: the geographic proximity, specific context, the relevance of relations and strategies necessary to form alliances, adaptation, adherence, digitisation, governance mechanisms, and opportunities for access to resources [9,22,70,92,[97][98][99][101][102][103].…”

Entrepreneurial ecosystems remain under-theorised and conceptually fragmented, making it challenging to comprehend their disposition and performance in the business process. Accordingly, in this research, we explored how knowledge sharing flows through entrepreneurial ecosystems to make analyses and trials to assess new ventures’ creation, continuity, and development opportunities. We carried out a systematic literature review on the Web of Science database. The analysis was carried out in two stages: (i) content analysis using NVivo software and (ii) statistical processing and clustering with the support of VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software. Moreover, we reviewed entrepreneurial literature and proposed conceptual model mapping relations through all main actors and knowledge flow in ecosystems. Our findings suggest the knowledge path in the near field sharing mechanisms resulting in a new conception of traditional structures and relations used to judge and decide how to assess opportunities for new ventures’ opening, maintenance, and growth. This study contributes to entrepreneurial literature, demonstrating knowledge sharing flow through entrepreneurial ecosystems, considering an embracing, dynamic, and multilevel approach. Furthermore, it highlights political and social contributions to include new emergent perspectives: resource scarcity and structural and institutional gaps. This representation is the first knowledge management model applied to different economies and areas, respecting their singularities.

“…Qualitative analysis is a tool relatively frequently used in start-up research, as data, knowledge and experience can be obtained from a small circle of respondents, most often the founder or manager of a start-up [62]. Semi-structured interviews (questionnaires) are mostly used for data collection, e.g., Ghezzi [63], Voinea [3], Tukiainen [64]. Interviews are complemented by case studies, e.g., Guthbrod [65], Linton [66].…”

The Structure of the Start-Up Business Model—Qualitative Analysis

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of the research is an in-depth and detailed knowledge of the start-up business model, which is structured according to Canvas visualization. The research sample contains 106 start-ups operating in Slovakia. Each start-up was researched by a member of the research team, who personally recorded the statements of the founder. The research results are based on qualitative analysis and synthesis of statements of the founders of start-ups. The main results of the research are a summary view of the business model of the examined start-ups, which expresses the peculiarities of the start-up business making, including priorities within its blocks, and the identification of space for variations in the business model of start-ups. A secondary result of the research is the subjective and objective circumstances of the creation of a business idea, its content, confirmation of its originality, and the peculiarity of the start-up development process. The practical use of the results consists in providing a pattern of the business model and the possibilities of its variation, which are the result of field research of real and functioning start-ups. The originality and value of the research lie in the direct collection of qualitative data, immediate knowledge of business reality, and the synthesis of results into a comprehensive and detailed picture of the start-up business model.
