Abstract:

It is increasingly common for firms to jointly create and capture value in ecosystems. This article introduces the forces of ecosystem evolution. Ecosystems are the result of a delicate balance between centripetal forces that push economic activities towards integration in a single corporation and centrifugal forces that pull economic activities out onto the market. Centripetal forces are primarily caused by complementarity, and centrifugal forces are caused by modularization, distributed knowledge, and network effects. Since ecosystems arise when these forces are in balance, dynamics in the forces will cause ecosystems to evolve. This article focuses especially on the dynamics of technological complementarities, on the one hand, and of coordination and management techniques, on the other hand. Complementarities are not static, and may be commoditized, generalized, or standardized over time as technologies are developed. Management and coordination methods also change: for example, the emergence of open innovation management practices enable firms to move innovation activities from the in-house R&D lab out into the ecosystem. Seeing ecosystem evolution as a consequence of dynamics in centripetal and centrifugal forces has important implications for management. Most importantly, managers must understand their technical systems at the level of components and linkages in order to steer their firms towards success at the ecosystem level.
