THE PROCESSES OF ECOSYSTEM EMERGENCE July 2, 2014

چکیده
The successful introduction of an ecosystem can rapidly undermine even apparent unassailable positions in seemingly matured and settled industries, however little is known about the processes through which an ecosystem emerges. Pioneering an institutional approach, we undertake a phasic analysis of the emergence processes of six digital service platform ecosystems. We demonstrate the uniqueness of each emergence process, and propose three phases of ecosystem emergence – initiation, momentum, and control. Path dependency and imprinting are then demonstrated through the finding of decreasing cross-case similarities with each successive phase.
