Guest editorial: Unveiling the roles of intellectual capital in entrepreneurial ecosystems: evidence from moderate innovative countries

this SI aims to unveil the various roles of IC as critical knowledge resources to achieve competitiveness in designing and orchestrating different archetypes of EEs or in formulating and promoting innovation-related activities, such as learning and technology transfer in the EE context. To allow more innovative submissions, this SI encourages authors to build broader, inter-disciplinary theoretical underpinnings, to employ more varieties of methodologies and to undertake multiple levels of analysis through an integrative lens of IC, EE and KM. Fortunately, it is very exciting to see that quite a few fascinating articles were received. After a rigorous review process, ten articles were carefully chosen for publication, which can be classified into four categories based on the research focus discussed, the background setting selected and the methodology used. The main findings and perspectives are summarised below.
