“…In this phase, we employed a bibliometric analysis similar to that employed by Carvalho et al () and Gomes, Facin, et al (). Some of our quantitative data analysis of the 83 articles, shown in Table 1 as a list of the ten most frequently cited articles in the sample, was conducted using tools for descriptive statistics available through the ISI‐WoS website.…”

“…The review employs bibliometric and content analysis. The combination of these two approaches is designed to identify trends in the literature as evidenced in the most frequently discussed topics and fields and any gaps that may exist within the literature (Agostini & Nosella, 2019;Carvalho, Lopes, & Fleury, 2013;Gomes, Facin, et al, 2018). Figure 1 presents the phases of our systematic review.…”

Building a bridge between performance management, radical innovation, and innovation networks: A systematic literature review

Research on performance management (PM) of networks and radical innovation has largely developed along two isolated paths. On the one hand, a growing body of knowledge addresses the use of performance management systems in the context of networks (notably for production and incremental innovation). On the other hand, radical innovation scholars have shown how innovation initiatives that are more uncertain demand the use of new approaches (e.g., new project management routines or different evaluative tools for portfolios). Some scholars even suggest that traditional PM may suppress radical innovation. Our study takes a different approach. It aims to bridge radical innovation and network performance management through a systematic review of the literature. Here, we adopt a hybrid approach that combines bibliometrics with content analysis. Whereas the literature often separates the issues of network performance management and radical innovation, our contribution expands the theory of network management and radical innovation by developing a conceptual framework based on these concepts, thus combining them. We also offer suggestions for further research on this approach. Our framework suggests that overall, the performance management of radical innovation networks presents different features (e.g., recursive rather than linear) and constructs (e.g., openness and unintended performance) from those of innovation network management.

“…Rapid technology developments force many companies in fast-changing high-technology industries to form strategic alliances (Hagedoorn, 1993;Powell and Walter, 1998;Gomes et al, 2016;Dattée et al, 2017) to rapidly acquire complementary resources and cope with highly uncertain industrial environments (Santangelo, 2000). Strategic alliances normally sign formal contracts at the start of their cooperation to set out formally enforceable obligations, including ex ante and ex post risk allocation provisions for parties involved.…”

“…During the past two decades, a great deal of interest in ecosystem research in management and economic fields has developed [1][2][3]. A growing number of scientific studies have popularized the concept of the innovation ecosystem as a new framework for academia, policy-makers, and practitioners [4][5][6]. Thus, more and more policymakers and economic agents are resorting to the innovation ecosystem framework, which highlights the role of open innovation, and actors' collaboration and co-evolution, as well as knowledge production and transfer.…”

Toward an Evolutionary and Sustainability Perspective of the Innovation Ecosystem: Revisiting the Panarchy Model

This paper proposes an evolutionary and sustainability perspective of the innovation ecosystem. This study revisits the Panarchy model in order to generate new perspectives on the innovation ecosystem. The Panarchy model describes the evolutionary nature of complex adaptive systems relying on four phases, without, however, being deterministic: exploitation, conservation, decline, and reorganization. When ecosystems face important shocks, adaptive mechanisms and properties within the ecosystem lead the ecosystem to a new reorganization phase, which gives birth to another exploitation phase. In this perspective, the innovation ecosystem allows the avoidance of technology lock-ins and structural and organizational rigidity by providing mechanisms to enhance both resilience and competitiveness. Innovation ecosystem sustainability relies on two major dual forces: the exploitative function and the generative or autopoiesis function. Therefore, evolutionary and sustainability perspectives remain the "natural home" for developing works and models about the innovation ecosystem, and instrumental for policy-makers and practitioners involved in innovation management. Sustainability 2020, 12, 3232 2 of 17The approach that developing innovation processes and competitive advantage relies on a business-friendly environment with complex relationships between actors is not new. The Marshallian hypothesis on "industrial districts" have already described the importance of geographic and relational proximity characterized by complementarities and interdependences between a diversity of economic actors regarding the competitiveness of a given territory [11]. Becattini, in the 1980s, expanded the concept of Industrial districts to characterize Italian districts' competitiveness [12]. Porter delved deeper into this concept and popularized, in the 1990s, the cluster concept, which is defined as a concentration of small, medium, or large firms, organizations, and institutions, which are in synergy in a particular technological field within a geographic area [13]. At the same time, evolutionary economists have developed the concept of the "innovation system" as incorporating the role of institutions in the structuring (at different scales: sector, territorial, or topological) of this strategic and interactionist environment favoring the development of innovation processes [14][15][16][17].Given such an abundant theoretical corpus, many are critical of and skeptical about the potential contribution of the innovation ecosystem concept. According to Oh et al., the added value this concept generates is so low that its mobilization exposes the researcher much more to questionable scientific rigor and invalid knowledge production. Its use can even lead to harmful and dangerous political and strategic choices [18]. Faced with these criticisms, the ecosystem concept has become a more and more contested concept, calling for more robust conceptual and theoretical foundations. In addition, these criticisms highlight the need for concrete operational...
