如何成为疾风中的劲草?——基于WSR的创业生态系统韧性的前因组态研究

How to Become a Sturdy Grass Withstanding Strong Wind?——A Study on the Antecedent Configurations of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Resilience Based on WSR Methodology

建设富有韧性的创业生态系统是抵御内外部冲击、成为可持续创业生态系统的重要途径。而现有研究对创业生态系统韧性差异形成的条件和机制尚缺乏深入剖析。本文基于WSR方法论,以全球17个创业生态系统为研究对象,运用定性比较分析方法探讨影响创业生态系统韧性的多重并发因果机制。研究发现:(1)营商环境是产生高创业生态系统韧性的必要条件。(2)高创业生态系统韧性的实现路径可归为巾帼不让须眉型和打铁还需自身硬型,前者指较大系统规模、优良营商环境和丰富性别多样化的联动匹配,后者指较大系统规模、优良营商环境和充足企业家资源的联动匹配。(3)非高创业生态系统韧性的实现路径可归为巧妇难为无米之炊型和一穷二白贫瘠型,且与高创业生态系统韧性的驱动机制存在非对称关系。(4)在特定的物理和事理条件下,人理层面的性别多样化和企业家资源在解释创业生态系统韧性时存在替代关系。本文有助于进一步深化对创业生态系统韧性的理论认知,并为如何提升创业生态系统韧性提供了有益的实践启示。

Building a resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem is an important way to guard against internal and external risks and realize a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem.However,there still lacks an in-depth research on the conditions and mechanism of entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience differentiation.Based on WSR methodology,this study uses the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method to explore the causal complexity mechanisms affecting entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience through a case study of 17 global entrepreneurship ecosystems.Our findings are as follows.(1)Business environment is a necessary condition for high entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience.(2)The driving mechanism of high entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience can be divided into two pathways:peer diversity,and internal power.The former refers to the linkage matching of large system size,excellent business environment and gender diversity.The latter refers to the linkage matching of large system size,excellent business environment and sufficient entrepreneur resources.(3)The driving mechanism of non-high entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience can be divided into two pathways:nothing but talent and complete blankness,and is asymmetrically related to the driving mechanism of high entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience.(4)Under specific Wu-li and Shi-li conditions,gender diversity and entrepreneur resources at the Ren-li level can enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience through equivalent substitution.This paper helps to deepen the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience,and provides valuable practical implications on how to improve entrepreneurial ecosystem resilience.
