Abstract
Companies are increasingly exposed to disruptive technologies and unexpected competitors that pose potential threats to their business success. To avert such threats, pressed companies increasingly create and transform goods together with other organizational actors in so-called inter-organizational ecosystems (Adner, 2006, 2017; Jacobides, Cennamo, & Gawer, 2018; Lumineau & Oliveira, 2018). These inter-organizational ecosystems describe groups of interacting organizational actors that are mutually dependent on each other's activities (Jacobides et al., 2018). The growing prevalence of inter-organizational ecosystems builds on information systems (IS), which allow a distribution of innovation agency across multiple organizational actors by means of digital technology (Nambisan, Lyytinen, Majchrzak, & Song, 2017) for co-creating value (Sarker, Sarker, Sahaym, & Bjørn-Andersen, 2012). These advantages are of particular importance in software development and have contributed much to the popularity of platform ecosystems (i.e., Tiwana, Konsynski, & Bush, 2010) and innovation ecosystems (i.e., Adner & Kapoor, 2010). The three studies of this dissertation (see Table 1) focus on platform ecosystems (i.e., studies 1 and 2) and innovation ecosystems (i.e., study 3).
