2. Developing Entrepreneurial, Innovative Communities: What works?

• Created dominant model of entrepreneurial ecosystem development (conceptual -> test)

• Created leading metrics for assessing ecosystem health (conceptual -> test)

-> Outreach & Research Opportunities for UoP

• Created practical protocols for ecosystem development • [-> Outreach Opportunities for UoP -- want to help???]• Speaker/consultant globally (OECD, EU, Japan, WEF, Kauffman)• Current projects with colleagues in Germany, New Zealand,

Finland, Chile, Switzerland, et al.

Potential macro papers for SAS

• Crowdsourcing Dimensions of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (conceptual & empirical) <PP, Pr>

• Exploring Super-gazelle Firms: Empirical Determinants of Hypergrowth <PP, SI, Pr>

• Immigrant Entrepreneurship: Implications for Startup Visa (empirical, w/UoP grad) <PP>

2014 presentations (refereed)– Earlier in 2014

• ICSB workshop: entrepreneurial ecosystem building

– Still ahead (potential for affiliation)• Academy of Management all-star research workshop on

ecosystems <PP, SI>

• Policy white paper (#1 conference on entrepreneurship public policy) on assessing ecosystem development <PP, SI>

• NYU Social Entrepreneurship conference paper on economic development <PP, SI>

• 1st Open Innovation conference: Collaborative prototyping meets crowdfunding! <Pr, ED, PP>

example: high-impact research

• Participatory action research: (potential paper 2) <PP, Pr>

– How do active experts assess health of innovation ecosystems?

– Validate metrics – Validate intervention(s)

• Conceptual framework developed (paper 1?) <PP, SI>

• Crowdsourced initial dimensions/metrics (completed)• Global organizations as co-investigators (e.g., JWEF, SW)• Opportunity for field experiments (potential paper 3)

so… how can I help?• Scholarly production• Educator value (including teaching cases)• Practitioner value• Policy maker value

• Connections• Conferences (policy, practice too!)• Cases• Collaborations• Commitment!

opportunities for UoP and… you!
