This book addresses a gap in the present literature on the role that geography plays in the distribution of entrepreneurial activity. Emerging work on entrepreneurial ecosystems suggests it is important entrepreneurship studies move beyond the mere identification of factors that impact entrepreneurial activity to consider the unique geographic contexts in which entrepreneurs operate. These contexts include a variety of interactive elements including regional characteristics, institutions, actors, and connectors. As such, this collection analyses entrepreneurial activity in regions around the globe. The contributions explore a series of diverse regions in terms of their geographic, historical, industrial, and institutional contexts. The book also explores a range of topics, such as patterns of regional/subnational variations in entrepreneurial activity, geographically mediated determinants of entrepreneurship, inter-temporal dynamics, evolution of regional systems of entrepreneurship, and the impact of entrepreneurship on regional development and regional entrepreneurship policy. This book enhances our policy and practical knowledge about the unique regional context in which entrepreneurs operate and demonstrates the important role that geography plays in the spatial distribution of entrepreneurial activity.

Although the entrepreneurship process begins with individuals with relatively unique personal attributes and a likely penchant for risk taking and achievement, entrepreneurs are “hardly lone individuals who rely primarily on their extraordinary efforts and talents to overcome the difficulties inherent in the formation of a new firm” or idea (Stam 2009, p.4). Instead, the entrepreneurial process is the result of the interaction between the individual and the surrounding environment or entrepreneurial eco-system which is heterogeneously endowed with knowledge, institutions, resources and demand for products (Audretsch and Belitski 2016; Stam 2014). Furthermore, these factor endowments can vary dramatically by metropolitan area. Such a perspective raises an important policy question: Are U.S. metropolitan areas with disproportionately high shares of entrepreneurs or self-employed people systematically linked to particular attributes of the entrepreneurial eco-system or support system? The answer to this sort of research question is not straightforward because different types of entrepreneurship may require different types of explanations (Stam 2009). According to Rupasingha and Goetz (2013 p.143), it remains unclear to what extent the uneven growth of self employment at the county scale “is a response to opportunity or the result of necessity (such as layoffs).” It is for this reason that we chose the title Geographies of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems to remind us that it does not make sense to talk about the geography of entrepreneurial ecosystems (Stam 2009). Different explanatory frameworks are needed to explain different kinds of entrepreneurship dependent on the geographic scale of the ecosystem and the manner in which entrepreneurship is defined.

The spillovers in knowledge among largely college-educated workers were among the key reasons for the impressive degree of economic growth and spread of entrepreneurship in the United States during the 1990s. Prior 'industrial policies' in the 1970s and 1980s did not advance growth because these were based on outmoded large manufacturing models. Zoltan Acs and Catherine Armington use a knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship to explain new firm formation rates in regional economies during the 1990s period and beyond. The fastest-growing regions are those that have the highest rates of new firm formation, and which are not dominated by large businesses. The authors of this text also find support for the thesis that knowledge spillovers move across industries and are not confined within a single industry. As a result, they suggest, regional policies to encourage and sustain growth should focus on entrepreneurship among other factors.

It has long been recognized that advances in science contribute to economic growth. While it is one thing to argue that such a relationship exists, it is quite another to establish the extent to which knowledge spills over within and between sectors of the economy. Such a research agenda faces numerous challenges. Not only must one seek measures of inputs, but a measure of output is needed as well to estimate the knowledge production function. The identification of such a measure was a compelling goal for Zvi Griliches, if not the holy grail: “The dream of getting hold of an output indicator of inventive activity is one of the strong motivating forces for economic research in this area.” (Griliches 1990, p. 1669). Jaffe (1989) made a significant contribution to estimating the knowledge production function when he established a relationship between patent activity and R&D activity at the state level. Feldman and coauthors (1994a, 1994b) added considerably to this line of research, focusing on innovation counts as the dependent variable instead of patent counts. This work was particularly important given that many innovations are never patented. Feldman’s work also differentiated by firm size and showed that knowledge spillovers from universities play a key role as sources of knowledge for small firms.

"The entrepreneurial process is the result of the interaction between the individual entrepreneur and the surrounding environment or entrepreneurial ecosystem, which is heterogeneously endowed with knowledge, institutions, resources, and demand for products. Such a perspective raises an important policy question: Are metropolitan areas with disproportionally high shares of entrepreneurs or self-employed people systematically linked to particular attributes of the entrepreneurial eco-system or support system? In this paper non-farm proprietorship (NFP) employment data is utilized as a proxy for entrepreneurship. To examine the spatial patterns of NFP employment by MSA, data on the percent share of NFP employment relative to total employment was collected for 356 MSAs. It is hypothesized that NFP employment by MSA will be linked to both key predictor variables that capture higher qualities of life and access to capital (i.e., opportunity-based entrepreneurship) and, on the other hand, underperforming entrepreneurial eco-systems featuring poorly educated labor pools and high unemployment rates (i.e., necessity driven self-employment). Based primarily on previous research, 26 independent variables were amassed according to their expected relationships with NFP employment. Data on all independent variables was obtained from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, or the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Ultimately, it was determined that NFP employment by MSA seems to be best explained by metro-wide ecosystems that have a high percent FIRE, median age, percent Hispanic, and median home value."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Today we can observe an increasing spatial divide as some large urban regions and many more medium-sized and small regions face growing problems such as decreasing labour demand, increasing unemployment and an ageing population. In view of these trends, this book offers a better understanding of the general characteristics and specific drivers of the geographies of growth. It shows how these may vary in different spatial contexts, how hurdles and barriers to growth in different types of regions can be dealt with, how and to what extent resources in different areas can develop, and how the potential of these resources to stimulate growth can be realized.

The fields of Economic Geography and International Business share an interest in the same phenomena, whilst each provides both a differing perspective and different research methods in attempting to understand those phenomena. The Routledge Companion to the Geography of International Business explores the nature and scope of inter-disciplinary work between Economic Geography and International Business in explaining the central issues in the international economy. Contributions written by leading specialists in each field (including some chapters written by inter-disciplinary teams) focus on the nature of multinational firms and their strategies, where they choose to locate their activities, how they create and manage international networks and the key relationships between multinationals and the places where they place their operations. Topics covered include the internationalisation of service industries, the influence of location on the competitiveness of firms and the economic dynamism of regions and where economic activity takes place and how knowledge, goods and services flow between locations. The book examines the areas for fruitful inter-disciplinary work between International Business and Economic Geography and sets out a road map for future joint research, and is an essential resource for students and practitioners of International Business and Economic Development.
