Outline of Research at the Start |
This research will provide greater understanding of work and careers in entrepreneurial ecosystems (among entrepreneurs, startup employees, freelances, supporters), examine how they relate to other locally-specific ways of economic participation and what support is needed depending on local context.
|
Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The aim of the research is to better understand evolving models of work and careers in entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs).
The main sub-projects I am currently pursuing in regards to the research theme relate to the examination of career pathways in EEs, empirical analysis of human capital and EE factors affecting startup survival, and systematic literature review of work in EEs.
While most of the sub-projects are recently started and ongoing, for the systematic literature review of work in EEs (with a co-author from Europe) a full paper draft has already been finalized. Based on the analysis of relevant empirical studies, we identified complex types of outcomes related to work in EEs, including positive and negative, but also ambiguous and contingent effects.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
In the academic year 2022, I managed to successfully start the KAKEN project, despite the complexities of changing research institution and related increased workload. While some of the sub-projects have not progressed as much as I initially planned (coding of relevant qualitative data from my doctoral database to explore career pathways in EEs in Japan), other sub-projects and a start of new international collaborations (systematic literature review of work in EEs, empirical analysis of human capital and EE factors affecting startup survival) have exceeded initial expectations, so there is a good overall progress with the research agenda. I also started conducting initial supplementary data collection with observations and informal interviews in Japan and abroad.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the subsequent years of the KAKEN project, I will continue activities from the first year (the international collaborations, as well as coding relevant qualitative data from my doctoral database). I also plan to conduct necessary supplementary data collection (interviews, observations, archival data) and, when feasible, hire research assistants to help with transcriptions of interviews and extracting data for databases. In the year 2023 I plan to submit existing papers for publication and finalise the first drafts of the papers from ongoing sub-projects.
