DESCRIPTION:Corporate Strategy Externalities and Entrepreneurial Ecosyste
 m Emergence\n\nAbstract: This study advances entrepreneurial ecosystem t
 heory by repositioning incumbent firms as dynamic\, endogenous actors wh
 ose strategies shape ecosystem trajectories over time. By conceptualizin
 g corporate strategy externalities as a form of external enablement\, we
  link micro-level corporate decisions to macro-level patterns of ecosyst
 em emergence and demonstrate how ecosystems co-evolve with incumbent fir
 m strategies rather than arise solely from policy design or decentralize
 d entrepreneurial action. We examine these mechanisms through a longitud
 inal mixed-methods case study of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and its anteceden
 ts in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina from 1990 to 2012\,
  a period marked by major corporate restructurings and rapid ecosystem d
 evelopment. Combining an original firm–founder database with archival ma
 terials and interviews\, we trace three waves of entrepreneurial spawnin
 g associated with distinct strategic shifts at the incumbent firm. The f
 indings show that GSK’s strategies—implemented to advance firm-level obj
 ectives—generated externalities that unintentionally reconfigured region
 al opportunity structures\, catalyzed productive entrepreneurship\, and 
 contributed to the emergence and deepening of the regional entrepreneuri
 al ecosystem.\n\nThe paper is co-authored with Paige Clayton (Georgia In
