PublicationUsing a "Local Hero" Startup Case Study: Promoting Existing Local Startup Support Mechanisms in and Around Our University( 2023-05)
;Maria Mair ;Hannah BrakelmannMany of our discussions with fellow entrepreneurship educators focus on the common challenges of… … creating awareness for entrepreneurial career paths, especially outside of business schools, … advertising the vast collection of startup support mechanisms, programmes, and events available at most European universities, … and helping students to navigate the complex local entrepreneurship ecosystem. To address these issues at our mid-sized university in Germany, we have turned to the well-established case teaching method, albeit with two twists. -
PublicationHow firms shape organizational structures among ecosystem actorsBusiness Ecosystems are constellations of interdependent linked organizations aiming to create a common product or service. For this purpose, the actors need to communicate and exchange information. Since information is distributed via organisational structures, it is key to understand how firms shape such channels for the information exchange not just within their firm but also towards the partners involved in the ecosystem. Based on eight qualitative case studies, this article introduces a framework that shows two different orchestration types as well as three distinct organizational structures of information exchange. This framework allows managers to analyse their respective ecosystem and shape the organizational structures accordingly. It contributes to research in order to shed light on the organization of ecosystem actors.Type: conference paper

PublicationTowards an Attention-based view of the Ecosystem: How Firms Shape Organizational Structures among Ecosystem Actors( 2019-06)The ecosystems concept is on the rise in both research and industry practice alike. Prospectively, they will change the way decision-makers deal with key managerial aspects such as strategy, innovation, organisation and competition. Within ecosystems, distribution of attention is crucial, since all ecosystem partners involved are pursuing their individual agendas and it is the core duty of the orchestrator to align these in order for the joint value proposition to come true. Since attention is distributed via organisational structures, more specifically the so-called procedural and communication channels, it is key to understand how firms shape such channels not just within their firm but also towards the partners involved in the ecosystem. In an attempt to shed light on this context, this paper applies a qualitative study with eight cases and, based on the attention-based view of the firm, contributes to research on ecosystems in several ways. First, and foremost, we show three different types of procedural and communication channels, thus providing a better understanding of how ecosystems are structured and governed. Second, we shed light on the explicit design of these procedural and communication channels by the orchestrator in order to shape the attention of the ecosystem partners. Third, our findings provide a more differentiated view on the role and function of orchestrators. Fourth, in so doing, we specify the requirements under certain contingencies for the orchestrator.Type: conference paper
