Entrepreneurs need to access knowledge to grow, but weak entrepreneurial ecosystems tend to lack the types of knowledge that foster venture growth. To explore how entrepreneurs can act resourcefully as they overcome local ecosystem deficiencies in efforts to grow, we conducted 78 interviews with growth-oriented entrepreneurs in Central America. These entrepreneurs, perceiving that their ecosystem was subordinate to stronger ecosystems, challenged local knowledge, prompting them to engage in knowledge-related resourcefulness, which involves reorienting network targets (resourceful cognition) and assembling network tie proxies (resourceful behavior), to leverage benefits from both local and distant entrepreneurial ecosystems in pursuit of steady organic growth.

知识相关的足智多谋促进薄弱的创业生态系统的增长


企业家需要获取知识才能成长，但薄弱的创业生态系统往往缺乏促进企业成长的知识类型。为了探索企业家如何在克服当地生态系统缺陷以实现增长的同时，采取机智行动，我们对中美洲的成长型企业家进行了 78 次采访。这些企业家认为他们的生态系统隶属于更强大的生态系统，因此挑战了当地知识，促使他们参与与知识相关的足智多谋，其中包括重新定位网络目标（足智多谋的认知）和组装网络关系代理（足智多谋的行为），以利用来自本地和遥远的创业生态系统，追求稳定的有机增长。
