PublicationEcosystem Emergence in the Automotive Supply Chain: Shaping Radical Industry Change in Nested Organizational Fields( 2017)Ecosystems are an increasingly important phenomenon, but we know surprisingly little about the processes and practices underlying ecosystem emergence. This paper aims to provide further insights about how incumbents proactively engage in the creation of ecosystems, by studying in-depth and in real time the transformation of an automotive supplier from a hierarchically organized value chain to an ecosystem. We draw on institutional theory to conceptualize ecosystem emergence as a form of radical institutional change that requires the development of a new institutional logic. Our emerging findings indicate that ecosystem emergence is influenced by (i) multiple nested organizational fields, (ii) sector-wide change templates which create isomorphic pressures across different fields, (iii) an unowned change process whose evolution can be shaped with participative and collaborative strategizing.Type: conference paper

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
