Purpose

This study has conducted exploratory research to understand who should comprise the members of a resilient supply chain for promoting an entrepreneurial ecosystem of a startup project and to determine the mechanisms for the balanced coexistence of all stakeholders. This is necessary to ensure mutual benefits for all stakeholders, each of whom has multidimensional interests. Additionally, this supply chain must be able to withstand any potential disruption risks.

Design/methodology/approach

This research has employed a mixed-design approach. In this context, the study conducted an extensive qualitative and quantitative investigation, including 30 interviews and a survey involving 180 potential stakeholders in this supply network, respectively in the capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka. The analysis of the interviews utilized principles of matrix thinking, while structural equation modeling (SEM) through LISREL was employed to understand cause-and-effect relationships.

Findings

Network, platform and governance—these three independent constructs have the potential to contribute to the dependent construct, a resilient supply chain, aimed at promoting an entrepreneurial ecosystem for startup projects. It has been revealed that the management of such projects depends on the rules and regulations within the ecosystem. An excellent governance mechanism is essential for this purpose. To facilitate coexistence, the establishment of a platform is crucial, where cooperation among all members is mandatory.

Practical implications

For practitioners, three distinctive but closely interdependent issues are explored and resolved in this philanthropic study. It has unfolded the elements of any startup project with essential settings.

Originality/value

The identification of the structural dynamics of potential stakeholders within the entrepreneurial ecosystem of startups is largely absent in existing literature. Therefore, there is a need to comprehensively investigate the entire network, including their roles, responsibilities and associations. This study makes a significant and novel contribution to the existing literature. Academics and practitioners alike have ample opportunities to learn from this new aspect of relationships across three distinct areas: the entrepreneurial ecosystem, startup projects and the development of a resilient supply chain.

孟加拉国初创企业的创业生态系统：平衡共存机制

目的

本研究进行了探索性研究，旨在了解谁应该构成弹性供应链的成员，以促进初创项目的创业生态系统，并确定所有利益相关者平衡共存的机制。这对于确保所有利益相关者的互惠互利是必要的，每个利益相关者都有多维利益。此外，该供应链必须能够承受任何潜在的中断风险。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究采用了混合设计方法。在此背景下，该研究进行了广泛的定性和定量调查，包括对孟加拉国首都达卡的供应网络中的 180 名潜在利益相关者进行了 30 次访谈和调查。访谈分析利用矩阵思维原理，同时通过 LISREL 进行结构方程建模 (SEM) 来理解因果关系。

发现

网络、平台和治理——这三个独立的结构有可能为依赖结构（即弹性供应链）做出贡献，旨在促进初创项目的创业生态系统。据透露，此类项目的管理取决于生态系统内的规则和规定。为此，良好的治理机制至关重要。为了促进共存，建立一个平台至关重要，所有成员之间的合作是强制性的。

实际影响

对于从业者来说，这项慈善研究探讨并解决了三个独特但密切相关的问题。它通过基本设置展示了任何启动项目的元素。

原创性/价值

现有文献中很大程度上缺乏对初创企业创业生态系统中潜在利益相关者结构动态的识别。因此，需要对整个网络进行全面的考察，包括它们的角色、职责和关联。这项研究对现有文献做出了重大而新颖的贡献。学者和从业者都有充足的机会从三个不同领域的关系的新方面学习：创业生态系统、初创项目和弹性供应链的发展。
