This study examines how Entrepreneurship Education Orchestration, defined as respondents' perceptions of the coherence, alignment, and continuity of university-linked entrepreneurship provision, is associated with Community-Based Enterprise Development through a direct relationship and three parallel indirect pathways involving ecosystem support, capability formation, and innovation capability.
A sequential mixed-method and multi-analytical design was employed in Indonesia. Survey data from 692 university-linked entrepreneurial actors were analysed using PLS-SEM, followed by fsQCA to identify sufficient configurations associated with high Community-Based Enterprise Development. Qualitative interviews with 25 informants provided contextual interpretation of the quantitative patterns.
Entrepreneurship Education Orchestration was positively associated with Community-Based Enterprise Development and all three parallel mechanisms. Ecosystem support, capability formation, and innovation capability were also positively associated with the outcome. fsQCA identified three sufficient configurations and no single necessary condition, indicating equifinality. Qualitative findings highlighted variation in support accessibility, practical fit, and continuity.
Educational managers should prioritise coherence, accessibility, and continuity across entrepreneurship-related learning and support while considering staff capacity, sustained follow-up, and the contextual needs of enterprise and community actors.
The study extends Resource Orchestration into entrepreneurship education by developing Entrepreneurship Education Orchestration as a construct distinct from ecosystem support, capability formation, and innovation capability. It advances a context-sensitive account of how coordinated university-linked entrepreneurship provision relates to community-linked enterprise development in an emerging economy.
