From ego‐systems to open innovation ecosystems: A process model of inter‐firm openness

M. A. Alam, David Rooney, Murray Taylor · 2022 · Journal of Product Innovation Management

Summary. This study identifies how firms transition from closed innovation systems to open ecosystems through four distinct phases: realization, socialization, strategic alignment, and two-way openness. Based on 54 interviews with Australian business park managers, the research shows that phase transitions begin spontaneously but grow more complex as openness increases. Interdependence, social exchange, and trust drive successful ecosystem development.
