Resilience is a central concept in entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) research with immense policy implications, yet scholars and practitioners have struggled to measure it. We introduce a novel analytical approach for assessing EE resilience through longitudinal network analysis and attack simulations. We develop a methodology that bridges measures from network analysis with the core components of EE resilience (diversity, coherence, and connectivity). Using data from Berlin, Germany over 12 years, we build a spatio-temporal network based on a network projection and show how monitoring the evolution of network structure affects EE resilience. In addition, we introduce the use of “attack tolerance,” the simulation of node removal to assess the exposure to disturbances and, thus, robustness of EE resilience. Our approach starts new conversations about the interplay between EE networks and resilience and develops a methodological tool to evaluate the vulnerabilities and responsiveness of EEs to disruptions.

Transitional entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) are undergoing significant structural and sectoral transformations. Navigating the threshold between a transitional EE's past (“what was”) and its uncertain future (“what will be”) creates unique challenges that require leadership. Research has adopted an instrumental approach to EE leadership that focuses on leadership activities and how they influence EE effectiveness, primarily in healthy, non-transitional EEs. However, the lived experiences of EE leaders who are attempting to guide EEs through transitions are poorly understood, which creates conceptual and practical problems. Building on Transition Studies, EE research, and a study of 44 leaders in a transitional EE, we develop a model that explains how life experiences equip community members to be leaders in the liminal places of transitional EEs. Our main insight is that, in EEs facing major transitions, scholars and practitioners can benefit from an expanded conceptualization of EE leadership that acknowledges the importance of not just what leadership does, but who leaders are. Our study opens new conversations about the intersection of EE leadership, ecosystem transitions, and lived experience.

This study examines how volunteer mentors in refugee entrepreneurship programmes recognise and respond to emergent vulnerabilities when supporting mentees with traumatic histories. Inclusive entrepreneurship support programmes often struggle to address the complex intersections between entrepreneurial aspirations and ongoing trauma-related needs. Through an in-depth case study, we explore three interconnected mentoring dilemmas: temporal tensions between business planning and future anxiety, relational tensions between autonomous independence and damaged confidence, and affective tensions between growth through challenge and psychological safety needs. Mentors recalibrate their approaches to these dilemmas in real time, learning to balance being “hard on the business, but soft on the person” through adaptive responses rather than choosing between protection or challenge alone. This study contributes to inclusive entrepreneurship literature by highlighting how dynamic recalibration within supportive relationships enables both empowerment and care imperatives to coexist productively.

Effectuation has attracted wide interest and has become an influential branch within the entrepreneurship literature. However, like much of this literature, effectuation research has largely focused on exploring only its bright sides while downplaying or neglecting its not-so-bright sides. This has left critical blind spots on the map of effectuation research. We build on Shepherd's taxonomy of the ‘Triple Ds’—the dark, down, and destructive sides of entrepreneurship—to begin to explore these blind spots and suggest different mechanisms through which the ‘Triple Ds’ of effectuation unfold. Our aim herein is to stimulate further research that expands effectuation beyond its well-trodden paths and sheds light on its neglected dark, down, and destructive sides. This will contribute to a more complete theoretical understanding of effectuation and open up important research avenues that were previously blocked. Moreover, it will also help educators adopt and teach a more balanced and realistic view of effectuation and enable practicing entrepreneurs to make more informed judgments by considering the potential ‘costs’ of applying specific effectuation principles.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in the infrastructures, practices, and decision-making routines of founders, firms, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. For entrepreneurship, this appears to be a tremendous boon to value creation. By widening the aperture of individual entrepreneurs beyond the narrow limits of human cognition, assistive algorithms – and particularly the ground-breaking, readily accessible capabilities of Generative AI (Gen AI) – appear poised to deliver game-changing exploratory tools, enhanced predictive insights, operational efficiencies, and resource-preserving decision-support tools. Yet, the long-term, society-wide impacts are far less clear. One cause for concern is the variance-minimizing features of AI, a foundational design principle that reduces deviation and enhances the predictive stability of AI tools. In this, we identify a paradox wherein AI tools often enhance the individual creativity of entrepreneurs but, at scale, may erode collective entrepreneurial dynamism by filtering out non-algorithmic, highly serendipitous, mutation-generating, and variance-maximizing behaviors. Drawing upon the principles of rainforest logics, we theorize how AI's growing influence on entrepreneurial judgment, strategy, and ecosystem design may lead to a system-wide homogenization in decision-making and a decline in radical experimentation. With this, there is the danger of a corresponding increase in what we have dubbed algorithmic deforestation, involving systemic risks to the vitality and mutation-generating capacity of entrepreneurial ecosystems through the unintentional suppression of cognitive and behavioral diversity.

<div><div>Interstate wars, civil wars, and other forms of armed conflict are becoming increasingly common, challenging the assumptions in entrepreneurship theories developed under conditions of societal stability. Wars have devastating effects on the economy, including entrepreneurship. Paradoxically, while one might expect entrepreneurship to decline in war zones, recent research suggests otherwise; however, it also provides no insights into the motivation to start a new business during wartime. This study investigates what unique factors motivate people in war zones to start businesses, focusing particularly on women entrepreneurs in Ukraine during the Russo–Ukrainian War. Through in-depth interviews (n = 24) both with Ukrainian women who started a new business during the war and with entrepreneurship experts, we inductively develop an understanding of various unique motivations to start businesses in wartime. A central finding of this study is that wartime entrepreneurship is a complex mix of reacting to circumstances and taking initiative.

This research aims to achieve two objectives: to confirm results about the effects of high-performance work practices (HPWPs) at the organizational level, and to explore the effects of HPWPs on individual employee performance in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We conducted a meta-analysis of 115 studies to investigate how high-performance work practices are positively related to organizational and individual outcomes in SMEs, identifying critical benefits HPWPs offer. At the organizational level, HPWPs are positively related to firm performance, growth, and innovation, while negatively related to turnover and absenteeism rates. At the individual level, HPWPs are positively related to employee engagement, motivation, creativity, entrepreneurial orientation, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment, while negatively related to turnover intention. We nuance the applicability of HPWPs to the SME context and we contribute to the literature by highlighting the role of HPWPs at the individual level.

While literature reviews are essential for organizing knowledge, conventional formats often lag behind the fast-moving debates in entrepreneurship research. Too often descriptive, cautious and lengthy, such reviews rarely spark the conceptual or practical innovation needed in dynamic fields. At the Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBVI), we will open a space for reimagining the review genre, shifting from inventory to insight. To this end, we introduce four new review formats: critical insight review, underexplored intersections, rapid scoping synthesis, and provocative reviews. These are designed to provoke dialogue, challenge assumptions, and illuminate emerging debates. In doing so, we align JBVI with a broader movement across the social sciences toward agile, forward-looking scholarship where reviews function as intellectual activators rather than static summaries.

The entrepreneurship literature links the higher probability that children of self-employed parents will later become self-employed to parental role models and socialization by their parents. We add an exploratory study that examines whether parental interference in their children’s affairs lays the foundation for later entrepreneurship. We show that, on average, self-employed parents are not more likely to interfere in their children’s affairs than parents in regular employment. However, this null effect masks differences across fathers and mothers. Self-employed fathers interfere more in the affairs of their sons, while self-employed mothers interfere less in their daughters’ affairs. Moreover, we find that parental interference has a negative impact on sons’ self-perception of their entrepreneurial competencies. We discuss the implications of these results and present promising avenues for future research.
