Constructing a Climate Change Logic: An Institutional Perspective on the "Tragedy of the Commons" (2013, unknown): “For example, in strategy and innovation management , scholars and practitioners alike have begun to move away from viewing firms as atomistic entities toward an " ecosystem " perspective that makes interdependencies among firms and their innovations more explicit (Adner 2006).”
Creating value in ecosystems: Crossing the chasm between knowledge and business ecosystems (2014, background): “In other words, business ecosystems allow firms to create value which no single firm could create by itself (Adner, 2006).”
Towards a theory of ecosystems (2018, unknown): “(17)Adner and Kapoor (2010) intriguingly found that the role of upstream complements differs from the role of downstream complements when we consider their impact on ecosystem health.”
Moving innovation systems research to the next level: towards an integrative agenda (2017, unknown): “Associated to this stream of the management literature, companies and organizations are also interpreted as innovation systems (Adner, 2008; Hauschildt and Salomon, 2011; Tidd and Bessant, 2013).”
How entrepreneurs manage collective uncertainties in innovation ecosystems (2017, background): “In this way, the innovation ecosystem approach allows addressing actors' interdependence (Adner, 2012; Adner, 2006; Li and Garnsey, 2013), including in relation to uncertainties, that is, when entrepreneurs and their partners face collective uncertainties (those that affect a group of actors).”
What Firms Make vs. What They Know: How Firms' Production and Knowledge Boundaries Affect Competitive Advantage in the Face of Technological Change (2012, unknown): “4 firms‟ innovation efforts depends on other innovations in the firms‟ environments (e.g., Afuah and Bahram, 1995; Adner and Kapoor, 2006; Adner, 2006; Gawer and Henderson, 2007), and by showing how firm strategies interact with technological changes in the environment to influence performance”
Innovation as a Knowledge-Based Outcome (2011, background): “For example, researchers investigate activities concerning the creation of social ties that lead to innovation (Adner, 2006; Obstfeld, 2005).”
Networks, ecosystems, fields, market systems? Making sense of the business environment (2020, unknown): “…coalitions or “the collaborative arrangements through which firms combine their individual offerings into a coherent, customer-facing solution” (Adner, 2006, p. 98), and more specifically as “the alignment structure of the multilateral set of partners that need to interact in order for a…”
Global platforms and ecosystems: Implications for international business theories (2019, background): “The industrial economics perspective (e.g., Rochet & Tirole, 2003, 2006) has conceptualized platforms as a set of rules and architectures that serve to connect two or more sets of entities and mediate interactions and transactions among them; i.e., as a multi-sided marketplace.”
Open innovation in SMEs: Exploring inter-organizational relationships in an ecosystem (2017, background): “Our research findings identify the need to set clear goals and business objectives for the ecosystem (Adner, 2006; Adner and Kapoor, 2010; Ritala et al., 2013), which implies a need for the further investigation of ecosystem leadership and a form of management that might be suitable for the…”
