Proposta de um modelo de representação de ecossistemas empreendedores baseado na teoria das redes complexas

Abstract

The term entrepreneurship has become an alternative for economic growth, fostering the growth of entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems in the world. Due to the nature of an ecosystem, it is believed to be of fundamental importance to understand its complexity, since the relationship between its actors is dynamic. Therefore, the objective of this research is to propose a model for representing entrepreneurial innovation ecosystems, based on the Theory of Complex Networks. A qualitative approach, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, was used as a methodology, which consisted of defining axes categorized based on the dimensions of politics, economy, culture, support institutions, human capital and access to the market, present in an entrepreneur. The model was applied in the city of Salvador/BA, as a proof of concept, which provided results in mapping the main actors in the ecosystem of the capital of Bahia, in addition to identifying the dissemination of knowledge as an important dimension for the development of new actions and partnerships. among them to foster innovation. The proposed model will contribute to supporting the connections and dissemination of knowledge in an entrepreneurial innovation ecosystem, providing insights for its actors.
