Innovation ecosystem strategies of industrial firms: A multilayered approach to alignment and strategic positioning

Klaasjan Visscher, Katrin Hahn, Kornelia Konrad · 2021 · Creativity and Innovation Management

Summary. Industrial firms in Germany and the Netherlands use two-layer innovation ecosystem strategies to manage innovation processes. Companies operate an open explorative layer to identify opportunities and a semi-closed exploitative layer to develop them into customer value. The study reveals how firms align partners and activities across these layers, create synergies between them, manage resulting tensions, and develop strategic positioning within ecosystems.
