Space, Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Dynamics, and Interspecific Ecological Interactions
Abstract
This paper aims at\ninvestigating entrepreneurial ecosystems through analysis of interactions among\ntheir main agents, in different spatialities of a medium-size city: the city\ncenter (downtown), a suburban street, and its main shopping mall. As a theoretical\nframework the Jacobs approach (2011), the theory of practical action (Bourdieu,\n2010), and the theory of interspecific ecological interactions (Lopes &\nRusso, 2010) were used. In methodological terms, a case study approach was\ncarried out. The findings indicate different types of ecosystem interactions,\nconsidering the influence of the context, technology, and innovation as well as\nthe historical trajectories and Habitus\nthat characterize them.
