Conference paper at BCERC Waco and RnD Trento identifying two archetypes of African EEs (Goats vs Crocodiles) using web scraping on 410 actors and 38,233 observations.
Entrepreneurial Ecosystem is now a growing research field which aims to explore how Entrepreneurship is nurtured in the world. But as this phenomenon produces interesting economic and micro level contributions, only recent research explores its configurational patterns. EE remains undertheorized under organizational lenses.
This research proposes an EE processual analysis in four low income countries (Madagascar, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia) in order to identify, mobilizing network theory on 410 actors, archetypal configurations.
Using web scraping methods, we collected 38,233 observations, allowing us a multi-case holistic analysis. We detected two types of EEs, Goats and Crocodiles, unveiling a continuity perspective.
