Entrepreneurship induces novelty in the innovation system, generates selection processes, and shapes market structure over time. Entrepreneurial firms participate in the creation and diffusion of new technologies, the creation, and early development of new markets and industries, and the renewal of existing firms and industries. But does entrepreneurship also facilitate the transformation and adaptability of innovation systems? In this paper, we analyze whether the Swedish innovation system's industrial structure underwent a transformation as a result of the emergence, growth, and development of new entrepreneurial firms during the last financial crisis. In particular, we focus on the dynamics of two relevant sectors of the Swedish economy which, however, show however different structural characteristics: manufacture of machinery and industrial equipment, and computer programming. Our analysis reveals that large companies use firm acquisitions to respond to the threats posed by new emerging entrepreneurial firms. In the current context of disruptive change, acquisitions are thus used as a defensive mechanism for firms’ survival and adaptation rather than as a means to transfer/gain new knowledge/technology. We discuss how entrepreneurial ecosystems and innovation support policies can take two forms depending on the stage of development of an innovation system.

大卫与歌利亚:瑞典创新体系的表观遗传动力学和结构变化

随着时间的推移,企业家精神在创新系统中引发创新,产生选择过程,并塑造市场结构。创业型企业参与新技术的创造和传播、新市场和行业的创造和早期开发,以及现有企业和行业的更新。但创业是否也促进了创新系统的转型和适应性?在本文中,我们分析了瑞典创新系统的产业结构是否因上次金融危机期间新创业公司的出现、成长和发展而经历了转型。我们特别关注瑞典经济的两个相关部门的动态,但它们显示出不同的结构特征:机械和工业设备制造,以及计算机编程。我们的分析表明,大公司利用公司收购来应对新兴创业公司带来的威胁。在当前颠覆性变革的背景下,收购因此被用作企业生存和适应的防御机制,而不是作为转移/获得新知识/技术的手段。我们讨论了创业生态系统和创新支持政策如何根据创新系统的发展阶段采取两种形式。因此,收购被用作企业生存和适应的防御机制,而不是作为转让/获得新知识/技术的手段。我们讨论了创业生态系统和创新支持政策如何根据创新系统的发展阶段采取两种形式。因此,收购被用作企业生存和适应的防御机制,而不是作为转让/获得新知识/技术的手段。我们讨论了创业生态系统和创新支持政策如何根据创新系统的发展阶段采取两种形式。
