The concept has been adopted by the sciences of economics and management, where it appears in several related guises, such as innovation ecosystems, business ecosystems, and entrepreneurial ecosystems (Rinkinen, 2016). The notion of a start-up incubation ecosystem, defined as a system of interdependent actors and factors which supports the creation and successful development of start-ups (Novotny, Clausen, Rasmussen, & Wiklund, 2018), is most closely connected to the entrepreneurial ecosystems approach. Since entrepreneurial ecosystems are a “critical tool for creating resilient economies based on entrepreneurial innovation” (Spigel, 2017, p. 49), regional authorities are advised to build an underlying support policy for creating and strengthening these ecosystems in the interest of economic development. To understand the role of regional strategic support in establishing sustainable start-up incubation ecosystems, it is logical to draw on observations from both the entrepreneurial ecosystems literature and the literature on ecosystem-based innovation policy. The ecosystem concept in economics and management theory can be viewed as related to biological ecosystems through the prism of emergence and complexity. Entrepreneurial ecosystems have some of the properties of complex systems as described by complexity theory (Byrne & Callaghan, 2014). According to Byrne and Callaghan (2014, pp. 17–38), complexity rests on a few simple assumptions: (1) complex systems are not designed top-down but are the result of self-organization by many autonomous, interrelated decision-makers; (2) complex systems have emergent properties in the sense that they have the capacity to change in","PeriodicalId":324974,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Start-Up Incubation Ecosystems","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129336258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the process of creative destruction (Schumpeter, 1934), the new replaces the old, and soon, a significant share of economic activity will be performed by firms that do not exist today. Start-ups create jobs, improve economies, increase social mobility, facilitate innovation, and generate other benefits (Aldrich & Ruef, 2006). They serve as engines of regional development (Fritsch & Mueller, 2004) and bring to life innovations that contribute to resolving global challenges (Fini, Rasmussen, Siegel, & Wiklund, 2018). Indeed, the promotion of entrepreneurial activity is often a key ingredient in economic and social development policies (McCann & Ortega-Argilés, 2016). However, start-ups do not occur and develop in a vacuum. Just as no man is an island, no start-up is an island. Instead, they grow in close interaction with their surrounding environments, leveraging existing resources, and engaging in exchange with other parties (Gnyawali & Fogel, 1994; Van de Ven, 1993). The types of resources and relationships established during the early years have a formative influence on the development, growth and performance of startups (Beckman & Burton, 2008). More recently, the notion of an entrepreneurial ecosystem has become a famous analogy for understanding the role of the environment in entrepreneurship (Malecki, 2018; Mason & Brown, 2014). The analogy stems from the similarity between the life and development of living organisms in natural ecosystems and those of start-ups in entrepreneurial ecosystems. Living beings represent complex structures that need constant energy supplies obtained from their environment to survive and grow. Their environments constitute multi-layered systems that provide them with external energy that is passed on from one trophic level to the next (i.e., solar energy, plants, herbivores, and predators) until decomposers return nutrients to the environment. This large community of interdependent living beings, together with the nonliving components of the environment,","PeriodicalId":324974,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Start-Up Incubation Ecosystems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115122816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
