摘要

Business Ecosystems is a terminology proposed by Moore around 1993, relating the evolution of Business Environment with Ecology. Based on that theory, the idea of relate territorial conditions (as a demographical term) and the national culture (as social determinant) have come up. Nowadays just a few recent studies embrace the topic “Businesses’ ecosystem evolution” and almost none of them are related to economic development in growing economies.

Based on this structural “holes” in business literature, the aim of this research is addressing the fact that a business ecosystem cannot be the same in all developing countries and neither can be the firms’ behavior, the hypothesis of this thesis is that this happened because the business culture is engaged with the national culture and the conditions of the territory. Defining then the relationship between territory and national culture with the structure of the business ecosystem and highlighting the importance of the Small and Growing businesses in developing economies and contributing to the research of this topic. To achieve this objective, a brief revision of the existing literature, documents, reports and a couple of interviews with organizations involve with the topic have been done.
