Abstract

The article deals with the development of entrepreneurship at the regional level. The necessity of taking into account the context and its impact on the practice of managing the development of entrepreneurship in the region is justified. For the study of entrepreneurship with the influence of the regional context considered, it is proposed to use the ecosystem approach, which allows focusing on the specific context of business development. Based on the analysis of foreign and domestic sources, the author’s definition of the concept of “regional entrepreneurial ecosystem” is given. It is proved that, due to the uniqueness of each regional entrepreneurial ecosystem, it is advisable to use the configuration approach, which ensures that the diversity and variability of the regional context are taken into account. It is proposed to consider each regional entrepreneurial ecosystem as a set of nine configuration subsystems. The estimation of the configuration profiles implies using area or volume values, formed, in aggregate, by the parameters characterizing the configuration. A methodology for identifying the configuration profile of a given subsystem in a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem is developed. Based on the methodology in question, the efficiency of the configuration profiles of state institutions regulating entrepreneurship in the 85 subjects of the Russian Federation is identified. The approach substantiated in the article makes it possible to develop practical mechanisms for effective management of regional entrepreneurial ecosystem configurations, which, in turn, would contribute to more dynamic and predictable growth of business and investment activities in Russian regions.
