Innovative ecosystems in digital economy

Abstract

The article examines the formation and management of innovative ecosystems in the digital economy. Approaches to determining and content of the term “innovation ecosystem” are analyzed, the specifics and conditions of management of innovative ecosystems are investigated. There has been analyzed the concept of ecosystem as a complex self-organizing, self-regulating, self-sufficient system. There have been considered the research works devoted to innovative systems. The innovation ecosystems are viewed by scientists as the effective cooperation mechanisms aimed at combining individual proposals from different firms into a single customer-oriented proposal. In terms of a systematic approach the innovation ecosystem is defined as a living social organism, which is continuously changing under the influence of agents' behavior and the business units of the ecosystem. One of the key conditions for effective functioning of the innovation ecosystem is the use of innovation management methods. The choice or combination of ways to interact to manage an ecosystem depends on three things: the ecosystem strategy, the market environment, and the general risk appetite of agents and business units. An important aspect of ecosystem management is training of qualified personnel with a completely new type of thinking. Ecosystem manageability is found to dependent on the ability of professionals to adapt to the rapidly changing economic conditions and to continuously improve their skills. It has been inferred that the innovation ecosystem is a complex production and commercial structure, the functioning of which is associated with the unification of various kinds of business units, educational and scientific organizations to develop innovative products and services using advanced technologies, including digital ones.

The concept of management of digital transformation of economic activity of industrial enterprises

“…-Formation of a digital innovation ecosystem. Digital technologies can help enterprises create ecosystems that unite different industrial enterprises, which can lead to the creation of new opportunities for cooperation and joint activities [15,16]. In this case, the ecosystem of digital innovations can be defined as a "dynamic collective of interdependent participants and resources that they use for innovation with the help of digital technologies" [17].…”

Clusters as ecosystems: current trends and challenges, areas for prospective development of clusters in the agro-industrial complex

“…Currently, there is no generally accepted definition of a cluster in the business environment, and the existing diversity of approaches is formed from different areas of economic thought (regional economics, economic geography, managerial economics, economic theory). Much of the research on clusters is related to effective cluster policy and issues of its coordination with other national strategies and interests [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Ключевые Аспекты Управления Цифровой Инновационной Экосистемой Экономики Региона

“…В работе вышеназванных авторов проведен анализ понятия экосистемы как сложной самоорганизующейся, саморегулирующейся, самодостаточной системы. Исследователи пришли к выводу, что инновационные экосистемы рассматриваются учеными в качестве эффективных механизмов сотрудничества, нацеленных на объединение индивидуальных предложений различных фирм в единое предложение, ориентированное на клиента [9]. Согласно позиции М.В.…”

“…Шереметьевой, Л.А. Горшковой отмечено, что управляемость экосистемы во многом зависит от умения специалистов адаптироваться в быстро меняющихся экономических условиях и их повышать свой профессиональный уровень на протяжении жизни [9]. В рамках управления кадрами экосистемы приобретает важность разработка системы кадрового прогнозирования с учетом ресурсов образовательных учреждений, которые используются для подготовки и повышения квалификации специалистов данной области.…”
