Abstract

The paper sheds light on the path-dependent development of the
Viennese entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE). By taking into account
temporal dynamics from the 1990s onwards as well as regionspecificities
we are able to demonstrate the evolution of the EE is
not a linear process, but rather the various pillars of the EE may
develop in distinct directions and find themselves in discrete
development stages. Our in-depth analysis supports the
understanding of how various pillars of the EE – especially the
regulatory and finance/funding pillar – interrelate. Furthermore,
the detected cause–effect interlinkages are not balanced, but are
rather shaped by power-constellations and temporal imprinting as
well as other regional specificities, which influence the overall
success of the EE.
