Toward the Measurement Framework of Technological Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

Abstract

The technological entrepreneurship ecosystem is a complex set of components and relations that enable the creation and growth of new technology firms. This ecosystem should be clearly defined and evaluated in order to reach its proper establishment. The purpose of this research is twofold. The first is to propose the main components of technological entrepreneurship ecosystem (TEE) and the second is to present some important principles for developing a comprehensive measurement framework of this ecosystem. For the first aim, through the meta-synthesis method, we identified and analyzed 34 related sources that ended in twelve dimensions (governance, capital, culture, talent, etc.). For the second aim, we defined six criteria (complexity, type of measures, design method, etc.) and critically reviewed 18 principal measurement frameworks that can be associated with the TEE. The review implied specific features such as the need to cover all dimensions of the TEE, addressing both input and output indicators, and considering both opinion-based & fact-based measures for the TEE measurement framework.

How does institutional environment in the digital context affect technology entrepreneurship? The moderating roles of government digitalization and gender

“…, 2015). We controlled for the intensity of competition in the domestic market and the complexity of customer demand at the industry level (Maysami et al. , 2019).…”

“…We used judicial independence, financial service capacity and the level of national economic development at the country level as control variables (Nacu and Avasilcai, 2014;Judge et al, 2015). We controlled for the intensity of competition in the domestic market and the complexity of customer demand at the industry level (Maysami et al, 2019). The effects of the entrepreneur's age, education level and entrepreneurial network were controlled at the individual level (Pathak et al, 2016;Fuentelsaz et al, 2018).…”
