Abstract

Purpose

Despite the popularity of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) concept, research on its value-adding activities receives less attention. Thus, in this article, the authors investigate the role of EEs in supporting global value chain (GVC) activities.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors employ the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) technique to identify practical configurations of EE’s framework and systemic conditions spurring GVC activities in 80 countries.

Findings

The findings suggest different configurations of EE`s framework and systemic conditions necessary for various GVC activities regarding input-output structure, geographical scope, upgrading, and forward and backward participation.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the extant literature by pioneering the EE approach to explaining GVC development. Moreover, the findings provide novel insights for understanding the EE – GVC interplay. As a result, the study offers a more nuanced understanding of how the EE supports GVC activities.

揭示刺激全球价值链的创业生态系统条件：一种配置方法

目的尽管创业生态系统（EE）概念广受欢迎，但有关其增值活动的研究却较少受到关注。因此，作者在本文中研究了创业生态系统在支持全球价值链（GVC）活动中的作用。设计/方法/途径作者采用模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）技术，确定了创业生态系统框架的实际配置以及在 80 个国家促进 GVC 活动的系统条件。研究结果研究结果表明，在投入产出结构、地理范围、升级以及前向和后向参与方面，各种全球价值链活动所需的环境经济框架和系统条件配置各不相同。此外，研究结果还为理解环境经济与全球价值链之间的相互作用提供了新的见解。因此，本研究提供了对环境经济如何支持全球价值链活动的更细致入微的理解。
