Entrepreneurial ecosystem research: present debates and future directions
No full textAbstract The purpose of this article is to review the emerging research on entrepreneurial ecosystem and to guide future research into this promising area. The study presents a critical review on the entrepreneurial ecosystem, starting from its very definition and antecedents. Combining prior research with building on the main concepts that constitute an entrepreneurial ecosystem, we have developed an original set of guidelines that can help scholars and practitioners seeking an answer to the following pressing question: BHow can we gain a comprehensive understanding of an entrepreneurial ecosystem?^. We will then discuss the opportunities for expanding our current knowledge on entrepreneurial ecosystems and describe the current debates and directions for future research. Lastly, we will provide guidelines that policymakers may take into consideration when designing and issuing support measures to promote entrepreneurship in their local ecosystems.Keywords Entrepreneurialecosystem.Entrepreneurship.Newventures.Syste

No full textAdam Smith and Business Legitimacy
No full textEspecially neoliberal economists use Adam Smith to justify laissez-faire capitalismwhere governments have to abstain from economic regulations and wherepure profit maximization is sanctified as the only true motive in business. Smith isfar away from defending such kind of capitalism. For him commerce and liberaleconomy are legitimized by their positive effects on individual morality, at theone hand, and by the benefits they provide for society, at the other. He believesthat a system of natural liberty fosters virtues like prudence, temperance, orindustriousness and thus contributes to the development of a noble character ofthe citizens. Furthermore, he is convinced that commerce generates independence,creates economic wealth, and improves governmental order. Nevertheless,as we will show in the following, such system depends on the morality of it
Legitimacy, Political Organization, and Communication
No full textThis chapter will address the question of public legitimacy in connection to thecommunication of political governed organizations (PGOs). My point of departureis that legitimacy in the public sphere is a central purpose in the communicativeeffort of any political governed organization. Overall, the paper takes aninstitutional approach to the subject and aims to clarify the institutional modesand forms PGOs are embedded in connection to the public sphere, as well as howthese forms and modes transform in the public sphere. I will not only address theinstitutional form and modes but also the agency and strategic ability to influencethe challenge of public legitimacy
Aberrant Intrinsic Brain Activity in Patients with Autism SpectrumDisorder: Insights from EEG Microstates
No full textTime Effects on Resting EEG in Children With/Without AD/HD
No full textAbstractIn this study we extend on behavioural evidence to examine the effect of time on EEG measures related to arousal andemotion/motivation in children with/without AD/HD. Thirty children with AD/HD and 30 age- and sex-matched controlsparticipated. EEG was recorded during an eyes-closed resting condition and divided into three 2.5 min blocks after preprocessing.Time effects for absolute and relative alpha activity were found in healthy controls; these effects did not interactwith AD/HD status. Interactions between time and AD/HD status were found for absolute theta, relative theta, and theta/beta ratio (TBR), with these EEG indices increasing over time in children with AD/HD. Moreover, IQ played a role in theinteraction between time and AD/HD status. These results are consistent with predictions from both the optimal stimulationmodel and the delay aversion model, and suggest important methodological considerations for future EEG research inchildren with/without AD/HD
