本文探讨了创业机会如何在可持续创业生态系统（SEE）中共同演变。大多数关于创业生态系统的文献福尔斯缺乏对创业过程的实证研究。为了分析从一个新生的SEE中的预启动团队收集的数据超过3年的高科技纤维素基材料，我们应用设计科学的方法，帮助理解演员的协作意义构建设计和结构生态系统的功能和关系。我们的研究结果表明，SEE可以被看作是一个设计工件，由生态系统参与者共同参与新的创业构思和发展机会信心。此外，本文提出了一个新的SEE框架，阐述了新兴生态系统中的机会共同进化过程的阶段和使能因素。我们致力于可持续发展以及一般的创业生态系统的文献，并提供了一个新的理论基础，生态系统的过程视图。
This paper examines how entrepreneurial opportunities co-evolve within a sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystem (SEE). Most of the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems falls short on integrating the entrepreneurial process in empirical research. To analyze data collected from pre-start-up teams within a nascent SEE on high-tech cellulose-based materials over 3 years, we apply a design science approach that helps understand actors’ collaborative sensemaking in designing and structuring ecosystem features and relationships. Our findings show that the SEE can be seen as a design artifact which evolves by ecosystem actors collectively engaging in new venture ideation and developing opportunity confidence. Furthermore, the paper presents a novel SEE framework, which elaborates on phases and enablers of the opportunity co-evolution process within an emerging ecosystem. We contribute to the literature on sustainable as well as general entrepreneurial ecosystems and offer a new theoretical foundation for a process view on ecosystems.
