“…The IE has therefore been used as a lens for examining several industries, such as the high‐tech, manufacturing, financial services (Shou et al, 2022), and health care (Vlaisavljevic et al, 2020). More recently, environmental and social challenges and government pressures have paved the way toward the GIE, which aims to foster the conditions that support GI (Li & Shi, 2022), for example, the use of digital technologies and environmental management practices (Demirel & Kesidou, 2018; Tsai & Liao, 2017b).…”

Based on the theory of innovation ecosystems (IEs) and the literature on environmental management controls (EMCs), this study examines the effects of green innovation ecosystems (GIEs), EMCs, and digitalization on the water performance of firms in the food service industry (FSI). In this context, the moderating role of technology sensing/response (TSR) is explored. Surveying 245 managers in large Brazilian restaurants, the hypotheses are tested through partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that the GIE positively influences digitalization and the use of both diagnostic and interactive EMCs. Additionally, the results demonstrate not only that interactive EMCs improve water performance but also that a high level of TSR increases the impact of diagnostic EMCs on water performance. This study therefore advances the literature by illustrating how cooperation between FSI firms and multiagents provides competences and resources that facilitate the implementation of digital tools and EMCs to achieve sustainability outcomes.

The objective of this research was to review the manuscripts registered in the Scopus database related to business ecosystems during the period 2018–2022. A total of 96 documents were selected and examined under a bibliometric and bibliographic approach. The results showed an annual growth rate of 13.21%. The United Kingdom (n = 22) led the countries with the most documents, computer science (n = 40) is the subject area with the most publications, and articles (n = 61) and conference papers (n = 23) dominated the types of documents. The nine most studied topics were innovation ecosystems, collaborative ecosystems, sustainable business ecosystems, digital business ecosystems, ecosystems of the Internet of Things, circular ecosystems in companies, regulatory frameworks for digital business ecosystems, resilience of business ecosystems, and ecosystems in smart cities. Six unexplored themes were extracted for future research: ICT industries, smart contracts, electric vehicles, serious games, energy, and blockchain. It should be noted that this study is one of the most up to date, and 85.5% of the 96 publications were original studies, i.e., valuable information that supports the results.

“…A closely related concept to dynamism and its generative source is coevolution, which refers to the mutual adaptation or interdependence of the various actors triggered by changes in the ecosystem or a participant (Adner & Kapoor, 2010;J. Chen et al, 2016;Dedehayir et al, 2022;Shou et al, 2022). These changes initiate and shape other changes, creating a feedback loop that drives the evolution of the two elements (Kauffman, 1993;Ritala et al, 2020;Ritala & Almpanopoulou, 2017;Volberda & Lewin, 2003).…”

“…In this interlinked environment of complex interactions (Iansiti & Levien, 2004b), "companies co-evolve capabilities around a new innovation: they work cooperatively and competitively to support new products, satisfy customer needs, and eventually incorporate the next round of innovations" (Moore, 1993, p. 76). This interdependence between actors and their innovations leads to coevolution of the individual participants and the entire ecosystem (Hou & Shi, 2021;Inoue, 2019;Leavy, 2012;Rietveld et al, 2020;Ritala et al, 2020;Shou et al, 2022). Having a common goal encourages interdependencies among loosely coupled ecosystem participants (Aarikka-Stenroos & Ritala, 2017; Adner, 2017;Gawer & Cusumano, 2014;Wareham et al, 2014).…”

“…For the structural configuration of ecosystem activities, actor alignment is identified as a key challenge for ecosystem strategy compared to traditional business strategy, given the complexity of interorganizational relationships inherent in ecosystems (Adner, 2017). Unlike dyadic buyer-supplier interactions in supply chains, multiple and heterogeneous actors are required to co-create the ecosystem's value proposition, which adds to the complexity of interdependence among ecosystem actors (Adner & Kapoor, 2010;Jacobides et al, 2018;Shou et al, 2022).…”
