摘要

隨著數位經濟的崛起，以及全球創業熱潮帶動下，「創業生態系統」吸引諸多學者的研究探討與對話。本文透過文獻回顧，研析此概念的緣起、發展背景、各家研究取徑的內涵，並討論與過往創業家精神、區域經濟相關理論的異同及研究缺口。本文認為，數位經濟時代下，技術革新帶動的制度變遷，以及經濟風暴造成的社會風險、不確定意識的抬頭，直接或間接促使創業活動蓬勃發展，因此，讓創業者比起過往獲得了更多在地行動者及周邊資源的支持，取得發展契機，進而帶動了該研究的興起。回顧相關學者、機構的研究成果，可初步區分為社會網絡、制度環境、定量典範三大類型，各自適配於創業生態中不同的發展階段、空間尺度與政策意涵。最後，本文作者進一步提出建議，包含引入歷史演化觀點、都市創業生態、在地集體行動，以及跨區域互動等議題面向，作為後續拓展研究的參考。

Each of them focuses on the needs of different in the phases of entrepreneurial ecosystem development, spatial scale and the application in practice.
