“…Service ecosystems are defined as complex, self‐adjusting systems of resource‐integrating actors connected by shared institutional arrangements and mutual value creation (Vargo & Lusch, 2016). Several authors (e.g., Akaka, Vargo, & Lusch, 2013; Frow et al, 2014; Giannakopoulos, Sakas, Kutsikos, Konstantopoulos, & Verginadis, 2014; Koskela‐Huotari, Edvardsson, Jonas, Sörhammar, & Witell, 2016; Mars, Bronstein, & Lusch, 2012; Nenonen, Gummerus, & Sklyar, 2018; Skålén, Aal, & Edvardsson, 2015; Vargo & Lusch, 2017) have acknowledged service ecosystems' flexibility, that is, their ability to adjust to changes, recognizing it as an inherent trait of service ecosytems. Moreover, the infusion of digital technologies adds a new layer to service ecosystems flexibility due to the technology's contribution to increased customer experience and a higher level of value creation in SE (Sklyar, Kowalkowski, Sörhammar, & Tronvoll, 2019).…”
