Abstract

This research aims to investigate the research question of "what are the criticalcomponents in entrepreneurial ecosystems' configurations?" which has not been fullyexplored in the ecosystem literature. Due to limited primary data, a mixed-methodapproach of qualitative and quantitative methods will be employed. The first stage willinvolve conducting qualitative interviews with managers to gain a better understandingof the phenomenon. Based on the results, initial constructs will be identified andtransformed into scales. These scales will be tested using statistical methods to establishtheir reliability and validity. The research aims to contribute to the existing literature onecosystems and provide insights for managers and stakeholders. (AU)
