"The interest in studies of entrepreneurial ecosystems is booming and this book contributes significantly to the modern understanding of what actually is an entrepreneurial ecosystem, how it contributes to the performance of businesses and how entrepreneurs participate in the social and economic development of specific places, what are the objective measures of ecosystems and how they may be applied to evaluate efficiency and performance."
