“…Our case study illustrated that there is a tendency to set goals in the initiation phase, however, over time these goals tend to be forgotten or to become outdated. For successful ecosystem development it is required that partners continue to set and adapt goals when an ecosystem starts to grow (Usman et al 2018). Hence, it is important to have both short-term and long-term goals, to warrant that ecosystem partners remain focused and motivated during the growth phase of the smart city.…”

Smart cities use integrated information and communication technology in order to help their citizens and organizations deal with the challenges of urbanization, safety, and sustainability. Smart cities need complex forms of governance involving a great variety of actors. The aim of this study is to illustrate how elements of governance structures in smart city ecosystems evolve over time, and to understand in which way these elements enable or inhibit the success of such ecosystems in different phases of evolution. We draw on the ecosystem literature and the smart city literature to identify governance aspects relevant to projects with multiple stakeholders. We illustrate our framework with extensive empirical evidence from an in-depth single case study of a smart city initiative in The Netherlands. We find that the use of specific governance elements varies across the phases of evolution of the smart city ecosystem. In the initiation phase, governance structures aimed at strengthening the internal relations are key. In this phase, elements such as trust, commitment, and common goals are important as they help to create a common ground. In the growth phase, the ecosystem focuses on establishing external relations with other parties, such as competitors and suppliers. In this phase, governance elements such a co-creation strategy and a dedicated organization for promotion gain importance, as these elements facilitate communication with external parties.

“…No entanto, grande parte da pesquisa sobre IA tem se concentrado nas grandes empresas e multinacionais e só recentemente pesquisadores começaram a investigar a IA em MPEs (Brunswicker & Van de Vrande, 2015;Hossain & Kauranen, 2016;Vanhaverbeke, 2017;Usman et al, 2018;Farrukh et al, 2019;Greco et al, 2019;De Marco et al, 2020).…”

“…Em uma análise geral conduzida por Usman et al (2018) em 126 artigos sobre IA em MPEs, se identifica uma ampla gama de temas de pesquisa e, dentre elas, sugerem que é necessária investigação sobre o papel de diferentes tipos de investidores, bem como do apoio oriundo de fundos públicos e outros agentes para estimular o desempenho da IA em MPEs. Agentes que desempenham o papel de complementar fontes internas com fontes externas (Szulanski, 1996;Von Hippel, 2005;Laursen & Salter, 2006;Lundvall, 2010;D'Ambrosio et al, 2017).…”

“…Moreover, the closer relationship to their customers enables SMEs to establish the co-creation elements of MC [26]. However, the lack of financial resources and technical competencies [28] are key challenges for SMEs, which hinder the successful implementation of MC. Within the existing MC literature, research on specific capabilities comprises the most important theoretical underpinning for our study.…”

Already for nearly three decades, Mass Customization (MC) has been described as a viable business model for companies in diverse sectors. Nonetheless, the introduction and the successful operation of an MC approach is a challenging endeavor for companies of all sizes. In this article, special attention is given to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which increasingly collaborate in networks to successfully develop complex, mass-customized products. While collaboration allows for pooling several areas of expertise, the cross-organizational development poses challenges in manifold regards. To study these challenges, we set up a network business process model developed with four SMEs from the German high-tech textile industry. Based on the current literature on capabilities for MC, we evaluate the challenges of MC in SME networks detected in our network business process model to underpin the need for further research. In our study, we detail the conceptual analysis of such networkbased scenarios along our process model for three focal areas: (1) co-creation, (2) solution space development, and (3) information system design. We construe the need for further research and derive implications for both academia and practice.
