Abstract

Purpose

Prior research has extensively explored the dynamics of knowledge creation and transfer within entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). However, the research on knowledge integration within EEs, particularly by entrepreneurs, remains scant. Garnering and effectively using knowledge in such a dynamic and complex environment can provide entrepreneurs with a valuable asset for gaining a competitive advantage. To address this gap, this study aims to explore how entrepreneurs garner and capitalise on knowledge within the EE environment by using a transactive memory system lens.

Design/methodology/approach

This study is based on 26 semi-structured interviews with different actors and members of the same ecosystem – the northern Finnish health tech ecosystem. The data were analysed using the Gioia methodology.

Findings

This study results found that transactive memory processes (i.e. knowledge specialisation, credibility and coordination) and structures (i.e. differentiated-, shared- and meta-knowledge) influence knowledge organising in EEs.

Originality/value

This study provides a conceptual interplay between the EE and the transactive memory system’s processes and structures.

点燃知识复兴之火：利用交互式记忆系统革新创业生态系统

目的前面的研究广泛探讨了创业生态系统（EEs）内知识创造和转移的动态。然而，关于 EE 内部知识整合的研究，尤其是创业者的知识整合研究，仍然很少。在这样一个动态而复杂的环境中获取并有效利用知识，可以为创业者提供宝贵的资产，从而获得竞争优势。为弥补这一不足，本研究旨在通过使用交互式记忆系统视角，探讨创业者如何在环境企业环境中获取和利用知识。设计/方法/途径本研究基于 26 个半结构式访谈，访谈对象为同一生态系统（芬兰北部健康科技生态系统）中的不同参与者和成员。研究结果本研究结果发现，交互式记忆过程（即知识专业化、可信度和协调）和结构（即差异化知识、共享知识和元知识）会影响 EE 中的知识组织。
