This study examines the interorganizational strategy process as documented by two case ecologies within the emerging domain of electric mobility. We argue that interorganizational strategy-making oscillates between meta- and firm-level and unfolds within constructed strategic arenas through an ongoing negotiation between dispersed actors. We report findings about strategic activity that seems to compensate for the absence of hierarchical structures and authorities as present in collaborative arrangements. Our study also points towards the salient roles of individuals in building common strategies by linking actors that are spread across ecologies, as well as giving "voice and face" to interorganizational endeavors.
