The Role of Open Innovation Intermediaries in Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Design

Abstract

Unemployment levels in South Africa have reached astronomical levels. This has spurred the government to fund entrepreneurship initiatives such as the Enterprise and Supplier Development programmes. Thus it is vital to enable and create entrepreneurial ecosystems that attract, cultivate, and sustain entrepreneurs. This paper explores how entrepreneurial firms use external actors for value creation in an entrepreneurial ecosystem through intermediaries. The focus is on how an intermediary organisation can facilitate value co-creation. The authors present the results and findings from a case study of the Oslo Cancer Cluster incubator in Norway, and relate these findings to ecosystems management and design. OPSOMMINGWerkloosheidsvlakke in Suid-Afrika het astronomies verhoog. Dit het die regering aangespoor om entrepreneurskap inisiatiewe soos onderneming en verskaffer ontwikkelingsprogramme te finansier. Daarom is dit van kardinale belang om entrepreneurskap ekosisteme te skep wat entrepreneurs lok, kweek en ondersteun. Hierdie artikel ondersoek hoe entrepreneuriese maatskappye eksterne akteurs deur middel van tussengangers vir waardeskepping gebruik in 'n entrepreneuriese ekosisteem. Die fokus van die artikel is op hoe 'n tussenganger organisasie waarde mede-skepping kan fasiliteer. Die skrywers beskryf huidige resultate en bevindinge van 'n gevallestudie van die Oslo Kanker Samewerkingsgroep broeikas in Noorweë, en lei hieruit bevindinge vir ekosisteem bestuur en ontwerp af.

Ecosystem Value Creation and Capture: A Systematic Review of Literature and Potential Research Opportunities

“…Much less focus is on how complementors, policy makers, investors, startups, and intermediaries influence EVCC. Only a few studies drew on the role of innovation intermediaries, business incubators, and business accelerators (Carvalho & Galina, 2015;Ngongoni, Grobbelaar, & Schutte, 2017) in entrepreneurial ecosystems. For a Ecosystem Value Creation and Capture: A Systematic Review of Literature and Potential Research Opportunities Behrooz Khademi more established concept, it is crucial to have a deeper understanding of all participating actors and how they operate in the ecosystem.…”

Opening Science and Innovation: Opportunities for Emerging Economies

“…There is a focus on the added value.

“…The intensity in the use of ICT and measures of performance evaluation of R&D are also part of the concepts of open innovation. Open science uses modern systems and online domains to organize and process information [Doyle et al, 2019;Álvarez-Aros, Bernal-Torres, 2017;Khumalo, van der Lingen, 2017;Katsikis et al, 2016;Carvalho, Sugano, 2016;Bravo-Ibarra et al, 2014;Bueno, Balestrin, 2012;Ngongoni et al, 2017]. The focus is on those who respect a sustainable information architecture and ensure that data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.…”

“…In fact, this dissemination can occur ethically, for instance, following best practices for knowledge sharing such as the adoption of open licenses in both academia and industry. In this sense, enterprises benefit from an ecosystem engagement and value creation when building a culture of collaboration and information-sharing [Ngongoni et al, 2017]. Another aspect highlighted in the literature about emerging economies is the building of new competencies.…”
