What the paper says
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the role of cognitive interdependence in university entrepreneurial ecosystems and its impact on developing their actors’ cognitive capabilities. Using a qualitative approach, we interviewed managers of new business development support programs, entrepreneurship professors, and entrepreneurs linked to startups within a university ecosystem to understand how the cognitive interdependence within these ecosystems influences the actors’ cognitive capabilities. The results indicate that this type of interdependence plays a significant role in the development of the actors’ cognitive capabilities a) indirectly when they are relationships between entities and individuals within the ecosystem, and b) directly when they are relationships between individuals. In addition, the psychological safety offered by university entrepreneurial ecosystems moderates and amplifies both the indirect and the direct influence of cognitive interdependence on the development of the actors’ cognitive capabilities.
