A Holistic Model of Building Innovation Ecosystems

A criação de valor compartilhado com base em um ecossistema de inovação

“…Innovation ecosystems can be understood as open and dynamic business environments (RABELO and BERNUS, 2015), permeated by cyclical flows of tangible resources (e.g.,financial resources) and intangible resources (e.g.,information). In such ecosystems, a network of interconnected and interrelated actors (GOMES, FACIN, SALERNO et al, 2018) interact in a complex way, competing but also cooperating to foster innovation (REYNOLDS and UYGUN, 2017).…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to understand, from an evolutionary and dynamic perspective, how innovation ecosystems develop over time and adapt to the contexts (SPIGEL and HARRISON, 2018). A thriving innovation ecosystem is the result of a process of continuous evolution, that is usually long, complex, and slow (RABELO and BERNUS, 2015). The ecosystem's development may present different stages of maturity (GOMES, FACIN, SALERNO et al, 2018), and possibly these different stages influence innovation in different ways.…”

“…Few studies propose to describe how innovation ecosystems emergence and develop. For Rabelo and Bernus (2015), the steps in the process of forming innovation ecosystems are: analysis (the decision to create the ecosystem is made); project (the architecture of the ecosystem is defined); deployment (the phase of taking the necessary actions for its operation, such as recruitment of actors, publicizing the actions, and establishing the infrastructure conditions); execution (ecosystem management activities); and conclusion (the ecosystem undergoes a metamorphosis to survive and continue to develop, or it is discontinued.…”

“…In this case, this study adopts the quadruple helix approach, with the presence of a company, university, society, and government (CARAYANNIS and CAMPBELL, 2009). This construction takes place through the steps brought by Rabelo and Bernus (2015): analysis, project, deployment, execution, and conclusion. In this perspective, the company assumes the role of pushing the movement forward, evidencing its capacity to generate not only financial but also social results (PORTER and KRAMER, 2011).…”

Innovation Ecosystem of CNG Vehicles: A Case Study of Its Cultivation and Characteristics in Sichuan, China

“…Concerning the evolution of innovation ecosystems, the unique value is to keep its own health and vitality [21]. The cultivation of an innovation ecosystem is regarded as the most advantageous environment to adapt to all kinds of expansive visions [22]. Organizational resource, network resource, and system resource interact and co-evolve in the cultivation process of innovation ecosystem [23].…”
