past research has primarily focused on the physical characteristics and
artefacts of such systems. The social construction of entrepreneurial
ecosystems, and particularly the discourse involved in their creation,
evolution and promotion, has not been examined. To address this
omission in past research, this conceptual article builds on the work from
several disciplines on a specific type of discourse: narratives. Theory is
developed regarding the types of narratives constructed in entrepreneurial
ecosystems and their functions. The theorising draws from and
synthesises multiple streams of research, including work on sensemaking,
identity construction, legitimacy and attention.
