This Thesis contributes to the study of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystems (IEEs) in the field of Innovation Economics and Innovation Management. Though frequently used to describe the complex and cumulative dynamics resulting from the coordination of heterogeneous actors, including Knowledge-Intensive Entrepreneurs (KIEs), some dimensions of these terms have long eluded empirical investigations. From existing gaps, three key objectives were specifically identified and addressed: Objective 1, exploring novel data sources for research and practice; Objective 2, investigating IEE’s connectedness from KIEs activities; Objective 3, conceptualizing novel management systems for IEE actors. These objectives were pursued across ten different papers, requiring the combination of multiple tools and techniques ranging from econometrics and network analysis to the application of design principles for the development of functioning prototypes. As the complexity of economic systems further increases, equally complex management concepts and tools will be fundamental to steer them. Even marginally, this Thesis aims at contributing to such direction.

Abstract
This Thesis contributes to the study of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystems (IEEs) in the field of Innovation Economics and Innovation Management. Though frequently used to describe the complex and cumulative dynamics resulting from the coordination of heterogeneous actors, including Knowledge-Intensive Entrepreneurs (KIEs), some dimensions of these terms have long eluded empirical investigations. From existing gaps, three key objectives were specifically identified and addressed: Objective 1, exploring novel data sources for research and practice; Objective 2, investigating IEE’s connectedness from KIEs activities; Objective 3, conceptualizing novel management systems for IEE actors. These objectives were pursued across ten different papers, requiring the combination of multiple tools and techniques ranging from econometrics and network analysis to the application of design principles for the development of functioning prototypes. As the complexity of economic systems further increases, equally complex management concepts and tools will be fundamental to steer them. Even marginally, this Thesis aims at contributing to such direction.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
