20140714 stam_dutch_entrepreneurial_ecosystems
DESCRIPTION
Ambitious entrepreneurs need stimulating ecosystems. Dutch partners in regional economics (Ministry of Economic Affairs, Economic Board Utrecht, Utrecht University) now explore the Dutch entrepreneurial ecosystem. Erik Stam (Utrecht University) explains the paradox between the large number of self-employed Dutch start-ups and the lack of growth.TRANSCRIPT

NL: Entrepreneurship Paradox
• Amazing growth of entrepreneurship in the Netherlands, 1987-‐2012
• Miracle: no country in which the TEA rate has grown as much as in the Netherlands over the period 2003-‐2012 (and precourse of rising new firm forma6on and self-‐employment)
• Paradox: increasingly a maZer of growing number of solo self-‐employed, and low/mediocre rates of growth-‐oriented entrepreneurship

(Eco)systemic Causes & Consequences
• Posi6ve feedback: virtuous circle (for self-‐employment!)
Changing preferences
Changing formal
ins6tu6ons
Lower entry barriers
Higher entry rates
+ Context: high labour protec6on, concentrated financial sector, + Shocks: 1997-‐2001 dot.com boom&bust 2008+ financial crisis
![Page 23: 20140714 stam_dutch_entrepreneurial_ecosystems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0edf14a79592b7a8b4642/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rise of solo-‐self employment
• more relevant as condi6on for entrepreneurial ecosystem (“culture”), than as output
• But…, might be indicator of lack of ambi6ons, and constrained labor mobility as well
![Page 24: 20140714 stam_dutch_entrepreneurial_ecosystems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c0edf14a79592b7a8b4642/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
(Eco)systemic Causes & Consequences
• Nega6ve/no feedback – No build up of system for high-‐growth start-‐ups (vicious
circle high-‐growth start-‐up scandals early 2000s: Baan, World Online)
a) Mobility of skilled labour: employment protec6on legisla6on, non compete clauses
b) Capital market: VC, trade-‐sales, IPO
c) Lack of venturesome demand: innova6ve procurement
d) a)+b): Lack of serial entrepreneurs/informal investors
– No champion of intrapreneurship, like Nordic countries (in spite of high levels of trust, knowledge work, and decentralized decision making)
