Abstract

Mexico like other developing countries has been battling low outcomes in innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship projects and policies, to understand that phenomenon a multi-level and network density analyses based on a literature review of innovation systems models, in order to analyze how many levels and agents are interacting in these models as well as the relationships between agents. The innovation systems analyzed are the National Innovation System, Regional Innovation System, Triple Helix, Quintuple Helix, Innovation Ecosystem, Entrepreneurship Ecosystem, National Innovation Ecosystem, and Regional Innovation Ecosystem. The results show that for all models only two levels are operating, one government level and the institutional level, and therefore not all levels are articulated; the number of agents considered by each model is relevant but not determinant of the model’s quality; network density better reflects the conceptualization of each model; Entrepreneurship and Innovation Ecosystems models have higher network density, and therefore are the recommended ones to be used by planners, strategists, and decision-makers in order to obtain better outcomes; the most likely path to follow by the innovation systems literature and researchers is complex adaptive systems.
