Abstract

University-centered entrepreneurial ecosystems (UCEEs) are complex webs of entrepreneurs, researchers, institutional support structures, and the built environment. We study the relationship between the built environment and the dynamism of the behavior of ecosystem agents in the evolution of UCEEs. Drawing upon data from interviews with ecosystem agents, as well as documents associated with the planning and development of purpose-built facilities (the built environment), we show how planned ecosystem evolution strategies differ from realized strategies. In particular, we develop a model of emergent response mechanisms to ecosystem dynamism and munificence, which include coping, learning, and adapting. We discuss UCEE evolution within a connectionist framework to better address the dynamic interaction of agents, institutions, and the environment.

  • Co-evolutionary dynamics are the result of interactions of individuals within ecosystems.

    “These co-­ evolutionary dynamics are the result of the interactions of individuals within eco -systems ( Johnson et al., 2019 ; Thompson et al., 2018).”

    From Toward an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Research Program (2022) · cites this paper as Johnson et al., 2019

    Section 5.1 links the evolution of university-centered entrepreneurial ecosystems to agents’ behavior and their interconnected responses. The Conclusion adds that evolution depends on both those responses and the built environment; the claim broadens this finding to ecosystems generally and leaves out that additional factor.

  • Ecosystems support university spin-offs.

    “These include how ecosystems support the university spin-­ offs ( Harrison & Leitch, 2010; Johnson et al., 2019 )”

  • Ecosystem evolution depends on both munificence (in the built environment) and the dynamism and behavioral responses of agents in the ecosystem.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
