Abstract Purpose -The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to provide further insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise from simultaneously being an entrant and an incumbent and, second, to help these firms effectively use supply chain management capabilities to respond to disruptive threats. Design/methodology/approach -This is an "insights from industry" paper. It is based on a retrospective analysis of rich data obtained at the SIRIUS Chair in Toulouse, France, from an important cluster of aerospace firms and the authors' accumulated experience. Findings -The authors found that under conditions of disruptive change, the ability to make the final customer the focal point and to build a comprehensive understanding of the overall supply network are key in shaping and taking advantage of future opportunities. These abilities enable firms to analyze different scenarios and identify the roles they want to play, the collaborations they need to establish and the possible internal changes required. Originality/value -This paper offers several new perspectives from practice. The authors analyze two types of space industry innovations: individual small satellites (or "smallsats") and smallsat constellations. Three types of capabilities are focused on: inside-out, outside-in and spanning. Disrupt-or-be-disrupted does not fully describe the dynamics the authors observed; cooperative competition and complementarity provide a better framework for ideas on how to cope with disruptive opportunities.

Although entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) have attracted increasing conceptual interest in the academic literature, little research has been conducted on their dynamics regarding the sociotechnological transformations that they undergo. To gain a bigger picture of this process, the theoretical underpinning is lacking. This research aims to address this theoretical gap by relying on the quadruple/quintuple (Q/Q) helix model to contextualize the dynamics fueling the development of EEs. We supplement this model with the institutional perspective to gain a better understanding of the dynamic interplay of EE institutions within their broader socioenvironmental context. Through an exploratory qualitative study based on secondary data from 1985 to 2021, we focus on the space EE as an illustrative case that has experienced major sociotechnological changes since the mid‐2000s. Likewise, we find that sociotechnological transformations lead to a change of focus in the knowledge production system, which is fostered by internal constraints and external opportunities. Indeed, informal institutions have a major influence on entrepreneurial dynamics by supporting an entrepreneurial culture within the Q/Q helix spheres, as they enable the inclusion of external actors in the innovation process. Ultimately, we point out the role of entrepreneurial support organizations in the inclusion of civil society and the environment in society and democracy‐based knowledge production systems to enhance the development of EEs.
