Ilustraciones, gráficasspa:El modelar ecosistemas de emprendimiento hasta ahora había sido tarea de economistas para justificar con datos de ventas y generación de empleo el posible impacto que tiene este tipo de intervención para el desarrollo económico. Desde el inicio hubo preguntas acerca de si hay otra forma de medir un ecosistema, de conocerlo y visualizar otros posibles impactos más allá del económico. Fue allí donde recurrimos al diseño como disciplina integradora para buscar nuevas formas de modelar y de ser posible diseñar ecosistemas de emprendimiento, entendiendo que allí se mueve algo más que solo dinero. Escogimos el estudio de caso como método descriptivo exploratorio para tener la posibilidad de movernos entre una gran cantidad de información recolectada, un método que nos permitiera dar cuenta de la complejidad del objeto de estudio y que también tuviera la suficiente flexibilidad de abrir campo a otros métodos que se requirieran para ahondar en la exploración del ecosistema Manizales Más. La contribución final de esta tesis es la modelación a través de diferentes métodos del mismo ecosistema, lo que nos permite ver diferentes elementos y comprender mejor como se relacionan los agentes, qué hay en las dimensiones y cuáles podrían ser otras formas de medirlos. Al final no se propone un único método para modelar ecosistemas, más bien se propone una metáfora que permita una reflexión a los posibles agentes interesados en fomentar su ecosistema de emprendimiento acerca de cada uno de los elementos que debe tener en cuenta y del papel que tiene el diseñador en ese proceso, de esta forma la metáfora del jardinero busca ampliar la metáfora biológica ya existente aclarando cada dimensión y el papel crucial del jardinero en la misma.eng:Up until now, modeling entrepreneurship ecosystems had been the task of economists to justify with sales data and job creation the possible impact that this type of intervention has for economic development. From the beginning, there were questions about whether there is another way to measure an ecosystem, to model it, and to visualize other possible impacts beyond the economic one, and it was there that we turned to design as an integrative discipline to seek new ways to model and, if possible, design ecosystems of entrepreneurship, understanding that something more than just money moves in there. We chose the case study as an exploratory descriptive method to have the possibility of moving between a large amount of information collected, a method that would allow us to account for the complexity of the study object and that also had enough flexibility to open the field to other methods that were required to delve into the exploration of the Manizales Más ecosystem. The final contribution of this thesis is modeling through different methods the same ecosystem, which allows us to see different elements and better understand how the agents are related, what is in the dimensions and what could be other ways of measuring them. In the end, a single method is not proposed to model ecosystems but rather a metaphor is proposed, that allows a reflection to the possible stakeholders interested in promoting their entrepreneurial ecosystem about each of the elements that must be taken into consideration and the role that plays the designer in this process. In this way, the proposition of the metaphor of a gardener seeks to expand the already existing biological metaphor by clarifying each dimension and the crucial role of the gardener in it.Modelling entrepreneurship ecosystems as a design process: Manizales Más case study / Acknowledgement / Resumen / Abstract / Content Table / List of Figures / List of Tables / Publications List / INTRODUCTION / Document structure / 1.
