Satu Rinkinen, Vesa Harmaakorpi · 2017 · Innovation The European Journal of Social Science Research

Summary. This conceptual paper examines the business ecosystem concept within innovation policy, comparing it to three established policy approaches. The ecosystem concept distinguishes itself through its focus on innovation and its self-organizing, self-renewing characteristics. The authors establish a framework for future empirical research on how business ecosystems can inform innovation policy.
