Abstract

Our project introductory paper, Network Models of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Developing Economies, describes our team's research goal of quantifying an influence network in this case, a local entrepreneurial ecosystem, in such a way that the analysis empowers decision makers with the requisite knowledge to develop specific policy recommendations. This paper will focus on an initial descriptive analysis of the data our team collected in six different African cities. Details of our data collection visits are captured in the team's paper entitled, Who do you know? Developing and Analyzing Entrepreneur Networks: Data Collection in the Tech Entrepreneurial Environment of Six African Cities.
