Building the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem - an Atempt to Reconsider the Role of the Entrepreneur

The concept of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, analogous to the notion of the natural and biological ecosystem, is terminologically set up to include a relatively broad theoretical framework for the analysis of a set of interrelated actors and factors that together participate in creating new value. The focus on entrepreneurial activity as the primary output of such an ecosystem is what this concept makes potentially different from other related perspectives in literature. However, when considering the issue of measuring the performance of such a system, the question is who are the actors, ie what are their results, what can be considered as an output of entrepreneurial activity, and the thought arises: who makes entrepreneurs, whether all actors together build an entrepreneurial ecosystem by acting entrepreneurially? In order for the entrepreneurial ecosystem to be adequately measured, it must first be defined, which leads to a reconsideration of the very role of entrepreneurship and entrepreneur. The concept of the entrepreneurial ecosystem through the breadth of understanding of the actors who everyone through their effort contributes to the creation of a new value, sheds light on the concept of entrepreneurship, focusing precisely on the ability to combine and organize resources in an innovative way, thus highlighting its essence. The purpose of the paper is to analyze, through the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystem, certain aspects in defining entrepreneurship and to identify the key ones, ie to determine the concept of entrepreneur and entrepreneurship through the prism of entrepreneurial ecosystem.
