Abstract
This study uses both secondary and primary data on perceptions of 1789 ecosystem actors from 17 cities in Europe to perform an empirical analysis of three institutional dimensions: regulatory, cultural values and socio-cultural practices – and tests their association with the entrepreneurial ecosystem’s growth orientation. As a result, we develop a framework for the entrepreneurial ecosystem’s factors and provide policy recommendations for those interested in supporting the entrepreneurial ecosystem’s growth orientation in cities. Among other conclusions, the findings suggest a positive association between the socio-cultural practices of environmental sustainability behaviour in businesses with entrepreneurial ecosystem’s growth orientation.
