Managing Innovation Ecosystems to Create and Capture Value in ICT Industries

Mastering the Digital Transformation Process: Business Practices and Lessons Learned

“…On the other hand, sharing of the available mobile network traffic data raises the overall efficiency of partners involved in the ecosystem. Indeed, the greater need for knowledge, which is driven by current digitization, fosters collaboration with partners, including business-to-business (B2B) customers, public and government organizations, or even unknown actors in a process of value co-creation (Brust et al, 2017;Hossain & Heidemann Lassen, 2017;Pellikka & Ali-Vehmas, 2016). Also observable from our cases is a close connection with the academic community with the aim of soliciting knowledge, innovations, and human resources.…”

Orchestrating Innovation Ecosystems: A Qualitative Analysis of Ecosystem Positioning Strategies
