Entrepreneurial ecosystems in Paraná: a comparative analysis at the municipal level

Authors

Abstract

An entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) involves a set of actors and factors that contribute to the local production of productive entrepreneurship. This article analyzes the entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) of thirty-five municipalities in Paraná using the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Index (IEE). The IEE is a composite indicator whose main purpose is to examine the quality of local EEs. From the IEE it was possible to understand the systemic and dynamic character of the EEs, in particular, the relationship of interdependence between its elements, the different levels of development that can be identified between the local EEs, the configurational character of the EEs, the correspondence with productive entrepreneurship and the relationship with local development.
