is a crucial driver of economic growth, as it transforms technical knowledge into products and services, driving innovation and addressing economic inefficiencies (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0156">Shane & Venkataraman, 2000</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib189">Kirzner, 1997)</a>. Entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs are vital to the global economy, contributing 96 % of economic activity (ITU report). Despite the importance of entrepreneurial ecosystems, which have emerged as a significant concept in the past two decades (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0164">Stam, 2015</a>), there is a notable lack of comprehensive methods for evaluating these ecosystems effectively. Entrepreneurial ecosystem is a relatively new concept that has started to emerge within the past twenty years (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0164">Stam, 2015</a>). Technology transfer involves moving knowledge or technology between institutions and encompasses the associated costs (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">Bolatan et al., 2022</a>). It is linked with innovation management and produces both tangible and intangible outcomes. While traditional methods like patenting, licensing, and start-ups are frequently discussed, alternative methods such as consulting, training, and exchange programs also play significant roles (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0108">Kim & Daim, 2014</a>). Technology transfer enhances the efficiency of systems, products, and services, thereby supporting entrepreneurship (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0008">Amaros et al., 2019</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0047">Cunningham et al., 2019</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0024">Boh et al., 2016</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">Cassia et al., 2014</a>).</p><p id="para0003" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In entrepreneurial ecosystems, technology transfer is crucial because it affects regional innovation mechanisms and the effectiveness of innovation processes.

The entrepreneurial ecosystem approach considers entrepreneurs to be the leaders and the center of the system creation rather than only considering them as results of the system. This literature lacks depth and does not highlight academic audiences as much as practitioners (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0164">Stam, 2015</a>). The role of the social context in enabling entrepreneurship appears to be present in the literature review of entrepreneurial ecosystems (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0002">Acs et al., 2014</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0131">Neck et al., 2004</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0169">Sternberg, 2007</a>). <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160">Spigel (2017)</a> found that the literature of entrepreneurial ecosystems includes research on “clusters (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0053">Delgado et al., 2010</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0122">Marshall, 1920</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0139">Porter, 1998</a>), economic geography (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0069">Feldman, 2001</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120">Malecki, 1997</a>), innovations systems (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0044">Cooke et al., 1997</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0073">Fritsch, 2001</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0177">Urbano et al., 2019</a>), social capital (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0182">Westlund & Bolton, 2003</a>), and networks (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0158">Sorenson & Stuart, 2001</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0172">Stuart & Sorenson, 2003</a>)”. Ecosystems have ambiguous structures (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145">Ritala & Gustafsson, 2018</a>). The entrepreneurial ecosystem includes the function of many social, political, economic, and cultural activities that support the growth of both new and existing entrepreneurs in the broader context of entrepreneurship (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0143">Radinger-Peer et al., 2018</a>). To create and grow a firm, entrepreneurship requires both an initiator (an individual who has an idea to launch a business) and an organizational setting (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0147">Roundy et al., 2018</a>).</p><p id="para0014" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">According to <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0006">Alvedalen and Boschma (2017)</a>, industrial clusters are at the center of innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems, where regional and local factors affect the combined capacities of local agents. Whereas the economic and technological dimensions of entrepreneurial ecosystems explain how value is created, the societal dimension relates to value distribution (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0009">Audretsch et al., 2019</a>). According to bibliometric data, the term entrepreneurial ecosystem is now more commonly used than other ideas like settings for entrepreneurship, which similarly emphasize the systems, networks, and cultures that support entrepreneurs (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0119">Malecki, 2018</a>). Researchers have conceptualized and measured entrepreneurial ecosystems as geographic regions since research on entrepreneurial ecosystems is based on natural phenomena (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115">Liguori et al., 2019</a>).</p><p id="para0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The approach of entrepreneurial ecosystems has recently emerged within the last decade (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0164">Stam, 2015</a>). Culture, social networks, universities, investment capital, and economic policies that support technology innovation-based ventures are all elements of ecosystems. These elements are seen in academia (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0002">Acs et al., 2014</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0068">Feldman et al., 2005</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0032">Burkholder & Hulsink, 2022</a>), policy (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib200">Isenberg, 2010</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0101">Jones, 2013</a>), and well known entrepreneurship literature (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0067">Feld, 2012</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0092">Hwang & Horowitt, 2012</a>) as an approach to develop strong economies built upon entrepreneurial innovation. However, the research in entrepreneurial ecosystems is still in the early stages. Entrepreneurial ecosystems have led to an economic rise in countries like China, the United States, Argentina, India, and Mexico despite the unstable social and economic states of some of these countries (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0022">Bernardez & Mead, 2009</a>). Individuals and institutions are the main elements that shape the entrepreneurship ecosystem (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0017">Barati et al., 2017</a>). The ecosystem approach has been addressed in the fields of business, entrepreneurship, and innovation. These ecosystems consist of elements that interact with each other forming complex systems (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0126">Maysami et al., 2019</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0088">Hiebl and Pielsticker, 2023)</a>. The endurance of high-growth entrepreneurship within regions has come to be explained by the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems, which has gained popularity. Ecosystems are still an immature theoretical idea, making it challenging to comprehend how they are structured and how they affect the entrepreneurship process. Ecosystems are made up of cultural, social, and material characteristics that offer resources and advantages to businesspeople, and t the connections between these characteristics regenerate the ecosystem (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160">Spigel, 2017</a>). Other businesses and organizations, many of which have specialized and skilled staff, increase the ecosystem's competitiveness (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0161">Spigel & Harrison, 2018</a>).</p><p id="para0016" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0184">Wurth et al. (2021)</a> suggest a transdisciplinary research program of entrepreneurial ecosystems separated into four research streams (context, structure, micro-foundations, and complex systems) and four cross-sectional themes due to the complexity of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (methodologies and measurements, theory, critical research, and transdisciplinary research). A brief and recent definition of entrepreneurship ecosystem is “enabling entrepreneurship within a region through a group of interdependent factors” (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0166">Stam & Spigel, 2016</a>). Entrepreneurial ecosystems are defined as the elements that enable productive entrepreneurship within a specific field (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0019">Baumol, 1990</a>). The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems has two parts. The first is “entrepreneurial”, which refers to exploring the opportunity of creating new goods or services, followed by evaluation, and then taking actions (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0156">Shane & Venkataraman, 2000</a>). The second part is “ecosystem”, which is defined as the “system, or a group of interconnected elements, formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their environment” (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110">Kreuzer et al., 2018</a>). Other definitions focus on different aspects such as talented workers, lawyers, large local firms, or universities that take the role of talents supporters (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0131">Neck et al., 2004</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0136">Patton & Kenney, 2005</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0162">Spilling, 1996</a>). <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib200">Isenberg (2010)</a> and the <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0101">Jones (2013)</a> identified the essential elements of ecosystems with the presence of human capital, mentorship and supportive programs, financing, local and international access to markets, solid organizational framework, and universities. The combination of short/long education and narrow/broad human labor research can improve the roadmap of entrepreneurship ecosystems by incorporating innate skills and by conceptualizing four generic archetypes: the local entrepreneur, the global entrepreneur, the incremental entrepreneur, and the radical entrepreneur. (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135">Østergaard & Marinova, 2018</a>).</p><p id="para0017" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0094">Huang et al.

Analyzing 39 countries with fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis, it finds that while institutional or cognitive elements are not essential for high levels of opportunity or necessity entrepreneurship, improving entrepreneurs' ability perceptions is universally beneficial. The study identifies optimal pathways that integrate institutional and individual factors to enhance both types of entrepreneurship and narrow international disparities in entrepreneurial activities.</p></span><span id="sec0004" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0007">Attributes and models of entrepreneurial ecosystem</span><p id="para0018" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib200">Isenberg (2010)</a> concluded that there are nine attributes that leaders should follow when building an entrepreneurial ecosystem rather than an exact formula. These attributes have led to build a six domains ecosystem that includes: policy, finance, culture, support, human capital, and markets. <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib198">Isenberg (2011)</a> This ecosystem intersects with the previous nine attributes by <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib200">Isenberg (2010)</a> and the eight pillars by <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0101">Jones (2013)</a>. These pillars include resources such as human capital, finance, and services. Based on work by <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0164">Stam (2015)</a>, a new entrepreneurial ecosystem model has been developed. This model includes four main levels: framework conditions, systemic conditions, outputs, and outcomes. The level of systemic conditions is the core level in this ecosystem. It includes networks of entrepreneurs, leadership, finance, talent, knowledge, and support services. A successful ecosystem could be seen where these elements are available with a cohesive interaction. The network of entrepreneurs makes knowledge and information sharing an easier process (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0033">Caiazza et al., 2020</a>). Leaders help in guiding entrepreneurs inside the ecosystem by relying on their experiences and influence in their regions. Finance is the third element that is provided by different types of investors (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0106">Kerr & Nanda, 2009</a>). A much more important element is the presence of talented individuals (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0001">Acs & Armington, 2004</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0113">Lee et al., 2004</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0142">Qian et al., 2013</a>). Knowledge is another important element that makes the ecosystem much more effective (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0011">Audretsch & Lehmann, 2005</a>). According to <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0186">Yi et al. (2021)</a>, an entrepreneurial environment does not emerge automatically because it typically emerges in places with an established knowledge base that employs a significant number of scientists and engineers. It has been demonstrated that firms can acquire knowledge resources that have been spilled outward from other knowledge subjects through direct or indirect communication and interaction. Individuals in the organization are responsible for knowledge, and their knowledge activities are critical to the application of knowledge utilities. Another conceptual framework of the entrepreneurial ecosystem was created by considering eight different factors: moral, financial, technology, market, social, network, government and environmental (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0173">Suresh & Ramraj, 2012</a>).</p></span><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0008">Critical factors of entrepreneurial ecosystems</span><span id="sec0006" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0009">Policy</span><p id="para0019" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Policy is defined as the set of government guidelines and regulations that control the entrepreneurial activities (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0079">Goel & Nelson, 2023</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0121">Management Study Guide, 2021</a>). The systemic approach of the entrepreneurship ecosystem provides an opportunity for policy makers to boost the growth-oriented entrepreneurship by developing policies and implementing strategies (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">Brown & Mason, 2017</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0117">Lösften et al., 2022</a>). <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0132">Nicotra et al. (2018)</a> defined the entrepreneurial ecosystem as the confluence of social, political, economic, and cultural factors in a region that fosters the growth and development of innovative startups, and that motivates new business owners and other actors to take the risk of founding, funding, and otherwise assisting high-risk enterprises. In the free market economy, entrepreneurship is a key driver of innovation and a crucial tool for improving the effectiveness of resource allocation (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0002">Acs et al., 2014</a>). According to <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0132">Nicotra et al. (2018)</a>, the ease of beginning a firm, the business-friendliness of rules, tax incentives, and access to infrastructure are specific indicators in the policy domain. As a result policy makers have been supporting a high level of entrepreneurial activity, which results in economic growth and job creation (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0012">Audretsch et al., 2015</a>). Unfortunately, little is understood about how an entrepreneurial ecosystem functions and what the associated policy issues are (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0014">Autio & Levie, 2017</a>). The idea of entrepreneurial ecosystems (EE) as productive structures that include intricate networks of interaction that boost economic agents' competitive abilities has grown in popularity (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0071">Fischer et al., 2022</a>). <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130">Nambisan and Baron (2013)</a> explained that interactions between institutions (such as education or business development), stakeholders, and entrepreneurs themselves lead to entrepreneurial activity. It is possible to conclude that entrepreneurship exists as a practice that can help the local economy by utilizing the goods and services provided by entrepreneurial actors. The ecosystem has become a common setting for entrepreneurship and innovation. According to <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0157">Shi and Shi (2022)</a>, the distribution of resources in an entrepreneurial ecosystem occurs like four interrelated themes: resource endowments, resource use, resource dynamics, and enabling conditions for resource dynamics.</p><p id="para0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005">Aliabadi et al. (2022)</a> explore the indicators of a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem for agricultural startups, focusing on economic, environmental, social, and cultural factors. Using summative content analysis and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, it identifies and weights key dimensions of the ecosystem. Data from 25 experts were analyzed with MICMAC software, highlighting the importance of ecological, economic, and institutional dimensions. Cross-impact analysis revealed that employment, business ownership, income, legal reforms, information access, NGO presence, and risk awareness significantly impact sustainability. 12 key factors were selected, and the analysis indicated that the current ecosystem is unsustainable. On the other hand, there are six interrelated complex properties of a viable entrepreneurial ecosystem, according to <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0086">Han et al. (2021)</a>: a large number of self-organized agents, non-linear interactions, sensitivity to initial conditions, adaptation to the environment, the emergence of successful entrepreneurial firms, and coevolution. On the other hand, essential implications for entrepreneurship progress could be summarized as follows (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0124">Mason & Brown, 2014</a>). First, policies have to be dynamic because ecosystems are changing and continuously evolving (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165">Stam & Van de Ven, 2021</a>). Second, every ecosystem needs different policies that suit its unique environment. The variety of cultures, banking systems, and educational systems are all factors affecting the policy approaches. Duplicating other ecosystems is an immature approach that would most likely fail (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0091">Hospers, 2006</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0123">Martin & Sunley, 2003</a>). Third, “Policy implementation has to be holistic”(<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0124">Mason & Brown, 2014</a>). Initiatives have a higher chance of success if implemented in a synergic environment. Fourth, there should be a distinction between small business policies and entrepreneurship policies as they are two different concepts. Small business policy aims to increase the number of start-ups regardless of their growth and survival rates, which is a bad public policy as <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155">Shane (2009)</a> described. Unfortunately, it is embedded in public policies (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0133">Nightingale & Coad, 2013</a>). On the other hand, entrepreneurship policy focuses on supporting start-ups with high growth potential. Consequently, the participants, ventures, business models, supporting organizations, and cohesion around common ideals and activities vary across entrepreneurial ecosystems <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0148">Roundy et al. (2017)</a>.</p><p id="para0021" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">According to the <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0031">Brown and Mawson (2019)</a>, the creation of entrepreneurial ecosystems has seen a surge in recent years, making it the newest "blockbuster" in industrial strategy. It proposes a fundamental typology of the various policy frameworks used under the cover of the ecosystem. The policy notion is primarily employed to encourage "more" entrepreneurship and is riddled with conceptual uncertainty. The idea has also been enthusiastically welcomed by regional policymakers, who have dubbed it the newest "blockbuster" in regional policy. Although research and practice have expanded quickly, the profundity of this policy bombshell cannot be guaranteed. On the other hand, to develop more knowledgeable policies to foster innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065">Feldman et al.

According to <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0112">Kuebart (2021)</a>, open creative labs not only serve as valuable resources for startups and entrepreneurs, but they also serve systemic functions within entrepreneurial ecosystems.

In addition, the research integrates, expands, and tests theory and research from entrepreneurship and strategic management from resource-based perspectives, organizational learning, and institutional approaches. From an economic policy perspective, focusing too much on their development may be dangerous. Ecosystem research suggests that in an entrepreneurial ecosystem, every actor is of utmost importance for the ecosystem to function properly (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0163">Stam & Van de Ven, 2021</a>). <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185">Xin and Park (2024)</a> investigate whether big businesses or institutions are more significant determinants of entrepreneurship.

Analyzing data from 33 countries (2001–2015), the study finds a “N-shaped” relationship between big businesses and entrepreneurship. In high-income countries, big businesses positively influence opportunity-driven entrepreneurship. Institutional factors such as supportive public policies and positive social perceptions are effective for opportunity-driven entrepreneurs but not for necessity-driven ones.</p><span id="sec0007" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0010">Government</span><p id="para0023" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Government is a major element of the policy perspective, and it covers institutions and regulations.

The least important perspective was found to be policy with a weight of (14.4 %). These findings of ranking market and human capital as the top two perspectives align with the feedback from some experts’ interviews. Experts believe that successful entrepreneurs will thrive despite the regulations’ challenges, and hence they are considered the most important factor in the ecosystem.

For this research, five extreme scenarios are implemented. The results show positive and negative changes but not remarkably high except for scenario four and five. Scenario four (human capital emphasis) has decreased the final score of Riyadh from 69.7 (original score) down to 51.4, which is a difference of (−18.4) points. This is because the human capital's criteria of Riyadh were evaluated as low in general. Thus, assuming that human capital is the most important perspective decreased the overall score of Riyadh. However, Al Khobar's final score decreased with only (−5.9) within this same scenario. A similar case was seen in scenario five (market emphasis), where the new score of Riyadh was calculated to be 87.9 (18.2 higher than original score). Except in this case, it is a positive change. This is because Riyadh has received a high evaluation of the market's criteria and boosting this perspective has increased its overall score. On the other hand, Al Khobar's final score has increased by (13.5) points. This means that there should be more preparations if scenario four or five applies considering that both had the highest changes. Finally, the scenario analysis shows that there are changes but they are not significant in most of the scenarios. This is by applying extreme scenarios, which in reality will be less extreme.

All these improvements can be done with the support from stakeholders such as the big corporations, universities, risk capitals, and entrepreneurs. The current focus is to increase the technology based and innovative startups as it is part of the new shape of economies that relies on data and technology (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140">Proven Marketing Team, 2020</a>).</p><p id="para0083" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) 2020 has shown that the ecosystem value was $1 bn, while the global average was $10.5 bn. The total early-stage funding was $142 million, while the global average was $431 million (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0077">Genome, 2020</a>).</p><p id="para0084" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Riyadh city includes several national banks, and most of the local and international companies. About 33 % of the factories in Saudi are in Riyadh. Simply, most of the business and career opportunities are in Riyadh with the largest market size in the kingdom (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0107">Kim, 2021</a>). In 2019, four big projects with a cost of $23 bn were launched. These four projects are: King Salman Park, Sports Boulevard, Green Riyadh, and Riyadh Art. These projects are offering opportunities worth $15 bn for the private sector (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0028">Bridge, 2021</a>). The capital city was listed within the top 40 economies in the world. However, the ambitious new goal revealed by the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman during the Future Investment Initiative (FII) that was held earlier in 2021 at Riyadh is to be within the top 10 economies (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0063">Faeq, 2021</a>).</p><p id="para0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The Saudi leadership believes in the concept that the world economies are not based on nations but on cities. This belief can be seen translated into actions taken toward boosting the economy of Riyadh. The vision of 2030 includes the goal of increasing the population from 7.5 million into 15–20 million residents by 2030 (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0028">Bridge, 2021</a>). Riyadh generates about 50 % of the Saudi non-oil revenue. The cost of creating jobs is 30 % less than in the rest of the country's cities. Moreover, the cost of developing infrastructure and real estate is 29 % less than the other cities within the kingdom (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0103">Kane, 2021</a>).</p><p id="para0086" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Among all the current efforts of developing the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Riyadh, there is a need for a scientific and practical approach to assess the performance of the city's entrepreneurial ecosystem.</p><p id="para0087" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Assessing the status of entrepreneurial ecosystems in cities is important for governments, policy makers, entrepreneurs, investors, and other stakeholders. It is a vital and critical process, but it is mostly beneficial when the assessments’ results are being used to detect areas of improvements. Practical actions can be then applied to increase the overall performance of the ecosystem by referring to the desirability curves metrics. The desirability curves describe the status of the next level an ecosystem must be at. <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0004">Table 4</a> includes the details of the recommended actions to improve each criterion with the desired (improved VC value) and the (improved score).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0004"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="para0088" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For the case of Riyadh entrepreneurship ecosystem, there are five identified areas that require attention to improve. First, the research institutes under the policy perspective need to be improved from a VC of 55 to 80. This means improving research institutes from an average to a good level of contribution to the ecosystem as described in the value curve of this criterion.</p><p id="para0089" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Second, the taxation under finance perspective needs to be improved from a VC of 20 to 55. This means improving taxation from a taxation system that is at a low level and requires massive improvements to a taxation system that needs some improvements as described in the value curve of this criterion.</p><p id="para0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Third, the universities in culture and support perspective needs to be improved from a VC of 50 to 85.

Market in the context of this research was simply defined as the medium where two or more parties engage in an economic transaction (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105">Kenton, 2021b</a>). As the definition of market implies, entrepreneurial activities occur in the market “medium.” This makes it a reasonable finding as it is the element that encompasses all of the business and entrepreneurship activities. Assuming an ecosystem at city X recruited the best entrepreneurs with unlimited funding and were provided all the support from government and the society, these entrepreneurs will not be able to launch successful startups without the presence of market. There is nothing entrepreneurs can do regarding the absence of a market or having a small market except for some kind of business models that are fully virtual. The major finding implies that the market is a vital factor to entrepreneurial ecosystems. The four criteria under the market perspective were evaluated separately and were given a combined total of 100 % divided between the four criteria. Then, a global weight was calculated as explained previously in the methodology section. The same scenario applies to the rest of the other perspectives. The market size criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0188">Zhou, 2017</a>) was found to be the most important criterion with a relative local weight of (32.5 %). This makes it the most important criterion in the entire model with a global relative weight of (8.5 %). This research finding aligns with the literature review and the experts’ opinions. Research shows that the desire to become an entrepreneur increases respectively with the increase in the population density, which means a larger market size. A 10 % increase in the population density results in a 1 % increase in the share of people who would like to become entrepreneurs (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0152">Sato et al., 2012</a>). Estimating the market size is a necessary step at the stage of formulating the business plan or if the startup is looking for financing from venture capital. Large market with at least ($1 billion) is what attracts investors (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060">Estimating Market Size, 2009</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125">Matsuyama, 1992</a>). The entrepreneurial network criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">Chiesi, 2018</a>) was ranked second with a relative local weight of (25.6 %). Moreover, it was ranked fourth within the entire model with a global weight of (6.7 %). Some literature highlighted the benefit of shared entrepreneurship knowledge within the community, but there was not much emphasis on its influence in the ecosystem (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib195">Fischer & Reuber, 2003</a>). The distribution channels (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070">Fernando, 2021</a>) criterion was placed third with a local weight of (21.5 %). The least important criterion was found to be the early adopters with a relative local weight of (20.4 %).</p><p id="para0094" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Human capital was ranked second after the market with a relative weight of (25.2 %), which was a close weight to market (difference of only 1 %). Human capital in the context of this research refers to the factors related to the ability of individuals to be entrepreneurs (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib198">Isenberg, 2011</a>). It can be measured through individual skills, training, academic background, and business experience. Similar to the market, the ranking of human capital was reasonable as it is crucial to the entrepreneurial process. The first thing investors look for when investing in a startup is the team. Other factors such as the business model and current sales or financial reports come after. The lack of an entrepreneur's individual capabilities is hard to compensate for. Gaining business experience, developing soft skills, attending training sessions, or receiving entrepreneurship advice will take a long time. A great entrepreneur in a good market can overcome difficult policies, financial challenges, and cultural pressure. However, providing all the financial, governmental, and cultural support to incapable individuals will not result in a successful high growth startup as long as the decision maker in the startup is not qualified. The major finding implies that human capital is a vital factor to entrepreneurial ecosystems. The training criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib198">Isenberg, 2011</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135">Østergaard & Marinova, 2018</a>) was found to be the most important criterion with a relative local weight of (28.1 %). This makes it the second most important criterion in the entire model with a relative global weight of (7.1 %). Individual skills criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib198">Isenberg, 2011</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135">Østergaard & Marinova, 2018</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0173">Suresh& Ramraj, 2012</a>) was ranked second within the human capital perspective with a relative weight of (27.4 %). This makes it the third among the entire model with a relative global weight of (6.9 %). Business background criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0016">Baptista et al. 2007</a>) was placed third with a relative local weight of (26.1 %). This makes it the fifth most important criterion among the entire model with a relative global weight of (6.6 %). Three of the human capital criteria are within the top five criteria of the whole entrepreneurial ecosystem. The least important human capital criterion was found to be the academic background (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155">Shane, 2009</a>) with a relative local weight of (18.5 %).</p><p id="para0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finance perspective was ranked third after the human capital with a relative weight of (17.9 %) lower than human capital by (7.3 %). The relative weight of finance is exactly in the middle being less important than market and human capital but more important than policy, culture, and support. Finance is defined in the context of this research as the “presence of financial means to invest in activities that do not yet deliver financial means'' (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165">Stam & Van de Ven, 2021</a>). It is beneficial for entrepreneurs to have access to different kinds of funding. The results of this perspective's rank seem logical and reflective of the reality of startups. The access to financial support is crucial for launching startups, especially at the growth stage. However, many startups manage to start with limited cash or self-fund. Some business models would generate enough cash for reinvesting in the startup and maintaining its growth, but for many others, scaling the startup cannot be achieved without the support from venture capitals. Many tech startups rely on human resources and technology at their beginning without the need to have massive amounts of money. However, once the founders pass the stage of minimum viable product MVP, they should have spent a lot of their time in the startup and need to get paid and hire more people. There is the need for cash raises especially for business models that rely on building a community of users before they start making money. This type of startup would normally convince investors that they are investing in the future value of the startup with the potential exit of either Initial Public Offer -IPO or by becoming acquired by a larger firm. The major finding implies that finance is an important enabler factor to the entrepreneurial ecosystem, but it is not vital as market or human capital. The angel investors criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0127">McKaskill, 2009</a>) was found to be the most important financial criterion with a relative local weight of (28.9 %). The second highest criterion was found to be the venture capital funds (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0038">Chen, 2020</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0029">Brown & Mason, 2014</a>, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">2017</a>) with a relative local weight of (25.6 %). The taxation criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0057">Elert et al. 2019</a>) was placed third with a relative local weight of (24.3 %). The public funds (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0087">Hayes, 2020</a>) criterion was found to be the least important with a relative local weight of (21.1 %)</p><p id="para0096" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Culture and support perspective was ranked fourth with a weight of (16.2 %) after finance with a slight difference of (1.7 %). Culture and support perspective is defined in this research context as how the community within a region understands, admires, and reacts with entrepreneurship while the support aspect refers to business incubators, accelerators, universities, and conferences (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0074">Fritsch & Wyrwich, 2014</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165">Stam & Van de Ven, 2021</a>). The rank of this perspective is reasonable as it contains external criteria surrounding the core entrepreneurial activities performed by the human capital within the medium of market. The major finding implies that culture and support is an important enabler factor to entrepreneurial ecosystems, but it is not vital as market or human capital. The results were close with slight variations between the weights of all the criteria. The societal norms criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110">Kreuzer et al., 2018</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075">Fuerlinger et al., 2015</a>) was found to be the most important culture and support criteria with a relative local weight of (26.6 %). Second criterion was found to be the incubators and accelerators (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0041">Clarysse et al., 2016</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">Brown & Mason, 2017</a>) with a relative local weight of (26.2 %), which makes it at the same level of the societal norms. It is surprising that incubators and accelerators criterion was weighted with a relative global weight of only (4.2 %). This means it is ranked the14th among the 20 criteria. Some general thought based on media coverage of entrepreneurship activities expected this criterion to have higher weight as it is meant to support startups. One of the participating experts emphasized how culture is the most important factor in the whole ecosystem, and that efforts should focus on this aspect. However, culture & support was ranked fourth among the five perspectives. Similar examples can be noticed by other experts as each individual evaluates the ecosystem from his/her view of points. This brings the importance of scientific methods in combining the thoughts of top experts in the field and creating a framework to evaluate the factors with the least bias and inconsistency. The digitalization criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0027">Brennen & Kreiss, 2016</a>) was placed third with a relative local weight of (23.6 %) followed by the criterion of universities, which is at the same level of importance with a relative local weight of (23.5 %).</p><p id="para0097" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Policy was ranked fifth as the least important perspective in the identified model with a relative weight of (14.4 %) lower than culture and support by (1.8 %). Policy is defined in this research context as the set of government guidelines and regulations that control entrepreneurial activities (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0121">Management Study Guide</a>). Although the literature review clearly showed the relation between policy and entrepreneurship ecosystems, policy was evaluated as the least important perspective among the five perspectives. There are research works that discuss how policy influences entrepreneurial activities, but there is a lack of literature that ranks the factors affecting building entrepreneurial ecosystems. The major finding implies that although policy is an important part of entrepreneurial ecosystems, it is the least important perspective among the five identified perspectives. The venture friendly legislation (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0027">Brennen & Kreiss, 2016</a>) criterion was found clearly as the most important criterion with a relative local weight of (34.7 %) with a relative global weight of (5 %), which makes it ranked the 9th among the twenty criteria in the model. Some experts expected this factor to be important as it is the factor that controls and rules entrepreneurial activities. The simplicity and effectiveness of the venture legislation can expedite the creation and the growth of startups. However, the research findings imply that there are eight other criteria that are much more important, but it is still within the top 10 criteria in the model. The second highest criterion under the policy perspective was the research institutes (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0027">Brennen & Kreiss, 2016</a>) with a relative local weight of (27.5 %). The government strategy (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib198">Isenberg, 2011</a>) criterion was placed third with a relative local weight of (20.4 %). Lastly, the government criterion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165">Stam & Van de Ven, 2021</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0003">Acs & Szerb, 2007</a>) was found to be the least important with a relative weight of (17.3 %) and a relative global weight of only (2.49 %), which was also the least important criterion across the entire model. This finding might not be expected based on some of the literature and experts who believe that the government's role is a necessity in promoting entrepreneurship innovation in any region. However, it is expected for those who believe that governments should be enablers but not players. Governments have to support people in being entrepreneurs, but this role should not exceed the limit and turn from supporting into leading the movement (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0067">Feld, 2012</a>; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075">Fuerlinger et al., 2015</a>).</p><p id="para0098" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Case study application demonstrated how powerful the tool can be. Application of the model in the case of Riyadh identified critical improvement opportunities for the region with a potential improvement up to 50 %. Improvements identified included the research institutes under the policy perspective, the taxation under finance perspective the universities under culture and support perspective and finally the academic and business backgrounds under the human capital perspective.</p><p id="para0099" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Riyadh was chosen for this entrepreneurship research due to its strategic efforts to diversify its economy beyond oil dependence by fostering entrepreneurial activities. As the capital city, Riyadh is central to government initiatives that support startups, benefiting from various policies and programs designed to stimulate business growth. The city has a burgeoning entrepreneurial ecosystem with numerous incubators, accelerators, and investors, creating a dynamic environment for research. Additionally, Riyadh's significant investments in infrastructure and its strategic location enhance its attractiveness for studying entrepreneurship. Recent cultural and social shifts, such as increased female workforce participation and new business models, contribute to Riyadh's evolving and unique entrepreneurial landscape.</p><p id="para0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The market perspective was identified as the most important factor in entrepreneurial ecosystems, with a relative weight of 26.2 %. The market, defined as the medium for economic transactions, is crucial for entrepreneurial activities, as no successful startups can emerge without a functioning market. The study found that the market size is the most significant criterion within this perspective, highlighting its importance in attracting investors and promoting entrepreneurship. The human capital perspective followed closely with a relative weight of 25.2 %, emphasizing the importance of individual skills, training, and experience for entrepreneurial success. The finance perspective, with a weight of 17.9 %, is also important but less critical than market and human capital. It involves the availability of financial resources necessary for startup growth. The culture and support perspective, ranked fourth with a weight of 16.2 %, includes societal norms and support systems such as incubators and accelerators, which are essential but not as crucial as market or human capital. Lastly, the policy perspective, with the lowest weight of 14.4 %, involves government guidelines and regulations but was found to be less influential compared to other factors. The case study application in Riyadh revealed opportunities for significant improvements, particularly in research institutes, taxation, universities, and human capital factors such as academic and business backgrounds.</p></span><span id="sec0043" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0046">Conclusions, limitations and future research</span><p id="para0101" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Entrepreneurship is one of the major drivers of economies.

This model allows policymakers and city planners to identify and prioritize key factors that contribute to a thriving entrepreneurial environment, facilitating targeted interventions to enhance ecosystem performance. The study addresses a gap in structured assessment methods by offering a universal model that can be applied across various cities. This contributes to the body of knowledge in technology management and entrepreneurship, providing a practical tool for measuring and comparing ecosystem effectiveness. By defining and ranking critical factors such as market size, human capital, and finance, the research highlights what is most important for the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems. This prioritization helps in focusing resources and efforts on the most impactful elements, improving overall ecosystem support and effectiveness. The case study of Riyadh illustrates the practical application of the HDM model, demonstrating how it can identify improvement opportunities and offer actionable recommendations. This can guide cities in refining their entrepreneurial strategies and policies to better support startups and innovation. The research provides a framework for policymakers to develop and enhance entrepreneurial ecosystems in their regions. By using the HDM model and its associated metrics, policymakers can make informed decisions that drive economic growth and innovation. The study identifies several avenues for future research, including expanding the model to different regions, evaluating ecosystems at various stages of startup development, and applying the model in diverse international contexts. These future studies can validate and refine the HDM model, ensuring its continued relevance and applicability. Overall, this research contributes valuable insights and tools for fostering effective entrepreneurship ecosystems, benefiting both academic research and practical implementation in the field of entrepreneurship.</p><p id="para0118" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Like all other research, this study has limitations as well.

class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Entrepreneurship is a crucial driver of economic growth, necessitating the development of effective entrepreneurial ecosystems. However, there are significant gaps in the literature regarding the structured assessment of these ecosystems. This study addresses three main research gaps: the lack of structured evaluation methods, the need for a comprehensive analysis of ecosystem challenges from various perspectives, and the identification of critical factors essential for ecosystem growth. To bridge these gaps, the research introduces the Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) as a universal assessment framework that can be adapted to different cities for creating effective entrepreneurial environments. The research methodology involved formulating perspectives and criteria through literature reviews and expert interviews. These perspectives and criteria were validated by subject matter experts and quantified by other experts to assign relative weights to each. Desirability curves were developed to measure these criteria, scored by experts. The practical applicability of the HDM was demonstrated through a case study of Riyadh, showcasing the model's effectiveness in real-world scenarios. Key findings include the identification and ranking of twenty critical criteria across five main perspectives, along with the development of desirability curves for each criterion. This provides a practical, easy-to-implement evaluation tool for policymakers. The contributions of this research are multifaceted: it introduces HDM to the field of entrepreneurship ecosystem assessment, offers a practical model for ecosystem performance measurement, and presents a framework for policy improvements. Additionally, it highlights the importance of continuous model refinement and the inclusion of diverse case studies for broader validation. Future research should focus on expanding the model to include sub-models for different regions and stages of startups’ development, ensuring its ongoing relevance and applicability. The findings show the most effective factors (perspectives and criteria) in developing entrepreneurial ecosystems and provide a method to measure the level of each criterion without requiring deep knowledge of the methodology, making it easier to implement the model in any ecosystem with any experts. The research offers an explicit case study evaluation of Riyadh's entrepreneurial ecosystem and provides recommendations for improvement areas. This study contributes to the technology management body of knowledge, particularly in the context of entrepreneurship ecosystems, presenting a universal assessment model for measuring ecosystem performance in any city. It creates an evaluation and improvement framework for policymakers to develop entrepreneurial ecosystems in their cities, ensuring continuous relevance and practicality through ongoing refinement and diverse case study applications.</p></span>" ] ] "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="notep0001">This work was funded by Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM).</p>" ] ] "apendice" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "seccion" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "apendice" => "<p id="para9001" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia></p>" "etiqueta" => "Appendix" "titulo" => "Desirability curves" "identificador" => "sec0045" ] ] ] ] "multimedia" => array:13 [ 0 => array:8 [ "identificador" => "fig0001" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr1.jpeg" "Alto" => 1469 "Ancho" => 3167 "Tamanyo" => 402090 ] ] "detalles" => array:1 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "alt0002" "detalle" => "Fig " "rol" => "short" ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spara001" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Research Gaps, Objectives, and Questions.</p>" ] ] 1 => array:8 [ "identificador" => "fig0002" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 2" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr2.jpeg" "Alto" => 2979 "Ancho" => 3168 "Tamanyo" => 554256 ] ] "detalles" => array:1 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "alt0003" "detalle" => "Fig " "rol" => "short" ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spara002" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">HDm model to measure the performance of entrepreneurial ecosystems.</p>" ] ] 2 => array:8 [ "identificador" => "fig0003" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 3" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr3.jpeg" "Alto" => 1560 "Ancho" => 2500 "Tamanyo" => 191017 ] ] "detalles" => array:1 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "alt0004" "detalle" => "Fig " "rol" => "short" ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spara003" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Visualization of the subject matter experts’ backgrounds.</p>" ] ] 3 => array:8 [ "identificador" => "fig0004" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 4" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr4.jpeg" "Alto" => 3253 "Ancho" => 3167 "Tamanyo" => 700822 ] ] "detalles" => array:1 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "alt0005" "detalle" => "Fig " "rol" => "short" ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spara004" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Model weights (Most important ones are highlighted).</p>" ] ] 4 => array:8 [ "identificador" => "tbl0001" "etiqueta" => "Table 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIATABLA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "detalles" => array:1 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "alt0006" "detalle" => "Table " "rol" => "short" ] ] "tabla" => array:1 [ "tablatextoimagen" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "tabla" => array:1 [ 0 => """ <table border="0" frame="\n \t\t\t\t\tvoid\n \t\t\t\t" class=""><thead title="thead"><tr title="table-row"><a name="en0001"></a><th class="td" title="\n \t\t\t\t\ttable-head\n \t\t\t\t " align="" valign="top" scope="col" style="border-bottom: 2px solid black">Perspectives \t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\t\t\t</th><a name="en0002"></a><th class="td" title="\n \t\t\t\t\ttable-head\n \t\t\t\t " align="" valign="top" scope="col" style="border-bottom: 2px solid black">Details \t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\t\t\t</th><a name="en0003"></a><th class="td" title="\n \t\t\t\t\ttable-head\n \t\t\t\t " align="" valign="top" scope="col" style="border-bottom: 2px solid black">Refs. \t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\t\t\t</th></tr></thead><tbody title="tbody"><tr title="table-row"><a name="en0004"></a><td class="td" title="\n \t\t\t\t\ttable-entry\n \t\t\t\t " align="" valign="top">Policy \t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\t</td><a name="en0005"></a><td class="td" title="\n \t\t\t\t\ttable-entry\n \t\t\t\t " align="" valign="top">The set of government guidelines, regulations, and services that control entrepreneurial activities. \t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\t</td><a name="en0006"></a><td class="td" title="\n \t\t\t\t\ttable-entry\n \t\t\t\t " align="" valign="top">(Management Study Guide), <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">Brown and Mason (2017)</a>, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0012">Audretsch et al.
