PublicationEcosystem emergence in the manufacturing sector: exploring transformation processes of product-focused firmsPlatform-based ecosystems have become an important organizational form to enable digitalized production processes. However, manufacturing firms often struggle to transition to ecosystem strategies. In this chapter, we present a case study of a machine manufacturer that transformed from a product-focus to integrated value propositions based on digital ecosystems. The focal firm did not start out with an ecosystem-based strategy, but engaged in a long-term organizational learning process, moving from product differentiation to system integration, and eventually to ecosystem orchestration. Through our analysis, we show how organizational forms may represent stages in the long-term evolution of a manufacturing firm and its sector towards an Industry 4.0 ecosystem. Furthermore, we introduce the quality and amount of data generated as an additional explanation for why ecosystems may emerge.Type: book sectionJournal: Business 2024
