Creating Shared Value: Exploration in an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

2022

The effects of companies on society and the practices of Corporate Social Responsibility have been the source of interest for many research studies.

We take the issue of shared value creation in an entrepreneurial ecosystem to determine how clustered companies understand and create shared value, identifying its antecedents and consequences. Using a single case study, we were able to identify that the entrepreneurial ecosystem become…
