Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
Theory, Practice and Futures
Ben Spigel
Abstract
The rapid growth of research on entrepreneurial ecosystems has led to many issues and gaps in the literature. This chapter reviews the major critiques of ecosystems research. The chapter looks at four types of critiques: lack of a strong theoretical framework, lack of attention to the relationships within and between ecosystems, lack of policy impact, and that ecosystems are connected with neoliberal politics. The chapter discusses how these critiques can motivate future research agendas.
