Collaboration Strategies in Innovation Ecosystems: An Empirical Study of the German Microelectronics and Photonics Industries

Exploring Innovation Ecosystem of Incumbents in the Face of Technological Discontinuities: Automobile Firms

“…More recently, the innovation ecosystem construct, which has its main roots in business ecosystem research, has gained prominent attention to craft strategies in dynamic and co-evolving ecosystems [5,16,30]. The term took off after the research article by Adner (2006), which emphasized the complementary innovations from participants within the ecosystem to achieve the focal firm's success in a dynamic market and highlighted the coevolution of value [2,5,16,31]. Within the innovation ecosystem, each firm is highly dependent on the resources of other organizations.…”

“…Therefore, the survival of firms in the modern world is highly dependent on the benefits of an overall business ecosystem. Consequently, studies in innovation and technology management are increasingly focusing on the complicated networks of diverse actors in business ecosystems rather than on firm-level phenomena [3][4][5].…”

Características, Distinções E Semelhanças Entre Sistemas De Inovação E Ecossistemas De Inovação

“…O ecossistema de inovação amplia o escopo de atores em relação a abordagem de sistemas de inovação (ELIA; MARGHERITA; PETTI, 2016;D'AURIA et al 2016;PIGFORD;HICKEY;KLERKX, 2018;SCHROTH;HÄUSSERMANN, 2018). Esta diversidade de atores é sustentada, incluindo o papel dos atores periféricos e distantes, como necessário para disseminar e multiplicar as oportunidades de inovação (RUSSO-SPENA; TREGUA; BIFULCO, 2017).…”

Assessing the role of collaboration in the process of museum innovation

“…Collaboration is a pattern of action that often requires actors to cooperate with both insiders, e.g., workers in cross-functional teams, and outsiders from outside of the organisation to look for new knowledge (Granados and Pareja-Eastaway, 2019) and thus, fostering a networked environment to achieve some complex goals (Thomson et al 2009), such as innovation. Because collaboration can be better at motivating effort and can allow creative people to work on projects more efficiently than would traditional mechanisms (Benkler, 2006), there is an increasing argument that collaboration could be an effective organisational strategy for improving project performance and innovation in a wide range of sectors, for example, from agriculture (Compagnucci and Spigarelli, 2018) and manufacturing (Schroth and Häußermann, 2018) to service (Ruiz-Torres et al, 2018), and cultural and creative sectors (Castro-Martínez, Recasens and Jiménez-Sáez, 2013;Li and Ghirardi, 2018). In addition, a recent study pointed out that there are inverted U-shaped relationships between collaboration breadth and radical innovation performance and between collaboration depth and incremental innovation performance (Kobarg, Stumpf-Wollersheim and Welpe, 2019), which further reinforces such argument that collaboration can foster innovation.…”
