Technopreneurial Development: Why Ecosystem Approach is Unsustainable in Case of Low Competition?

摘要

The paper evaluates the influence of ecosystem development on technopreneurial activity rates by dividing this activity to the cases of high and low competitive environments. The study reveals that in case of low competition the soil factors, which come from entrepreneurial ecosystem and have significant positive influence on business development, do not have an important impact -and about 3/4 of the impact are driven by hard entrepreneurial development factors which are not benefiting from entrepreneurial ecosystem development. The quantitative research presented in the paper indicates, that different tools are necessary to foster technopreneurial development in the environments with low and high competition levels, and ecosystem approach will be sustainable in case of relatively high level of competition. The testing of the stated hypothesis was performed by means of statistical analysis using SPSS Statistics 22.0.
