Innovation ecosystems: a meta-synthesis

Marcos Ferasso, Adriana Roseli Wünsch Takahashi, Fernando Antônio Prado Gimenez · 2018 · International Journal of Innovation Science

Summary. This metasynthesis synthesizes six qualitative case studies to build a unified theory of innovation ecosystems. The authors find that no conceptual consensus exists on the term, but identify core elements: organic, dynamic interrelationships between organizations that enable faster creation of innovative products. They propose a framework integrating global-local perspectives, showing how companies interact with dispersed strategic partners across industry dynamics and multiple organizational levels to produce innovations.
