This book features latest research insights into the study of the
entrepreneurial ecosystem. The focus is on understanding its influence
on the development of socially and physically defined 'places', and how
these factors are related with each other. The book argues that
regardless of how the concept of a 'place' is defined, be it cities,
regions, nations or otherwise, the impact of new technologies will
influence much of our business, social, and economic landscapes.
Evidently, there is an increasing pressure on 'places' to embrace new
opportunities for strategic development and confront complacency. The
solution may very well be in creating and sustaining entrepreneurial
ecosystems where entrepreneurial action thrives and innovation drives
the new economy.
