Methodological proposal for a meso-level approach to EE research using network theory and quantitative graph theory.
Entrepreneurial ecosystems (EE) is now a prominent topic in entrepreneurship research (Acs et al., 2017; O'Connor et al., 2018; Volkmann et al., 2019). The concept has rapidly seduced policy makers (Stam, 2015), leading mainly to a theorization at a macro-level of analysis (Malecki, 2018).
However scholars have criticized this concept (Acs et al., 2016; Cunningham et al.). We propose a meso-level approach to catch the ties between EE actors, mobilizing network theory and using quantitative graph theory.
