joint with Cristiana Pace (U of Coventry), Paolo Taticchi (UCLondon), Mark Michaelides (Bayes Business School, City, U of London), Daniel Metzger (Rotterdam School of Management) and Jianxin Wu (Stockholm School of Economics).

Date: Thursday, June 16th at 12h30 (Paris Time).

Abstract: Using value propositions to align various actors in adaptive ecosystems – i.e., those characterized by very diverse market and non-market stakeholders – poses rising challenges to orchestrators. Yet, it is still unclear how this complex alignment occurs. This study investigates the emergence and evolution of the Formula E ecosystem to theorize a four-phase process on how an orchestrator can progressively align different stakeholders around a new value proposition. We detail the pattern by which the orchestrators changes the business model and the technology of the ecosystem to resolve the critical trade-off between financial sustainability and technological innovation. This is achieved by initially adopting innovative ecosystem arrangements that attract new stakeholders, but later-on reconverging towards traditional ones to deliver on the value proposition. This, however, triggers a shakeout of those stakeholders that originally allowed the emergence of the ecosystem.
