The Nature of the Co-Evolutionary Process
通过对大中华区、英国和美国移动计算行业跨国公司的深入研究，发现共同进化过程包含共同愿景、共同设计和共同创造三个活动领域，每个领域在促进复杂产品开发的协作创新中发挥不同作用。
A business ecosystem is a community that consists of various levels of interdependent firms which co-evolve in an ongoing cycle and constantly renew themselves. By undertaking an in-depth, qualitative study of multinational companies in the mobile computing industry based in the Great China region, the United Kingdom, and the United States, we explore the nature of the co-evolutionary process and its influence on complex product development. We find that this process consists of three domains of activity: co-vision, co-design, and co-create. We also find that each domain of activity plays a different but important role in stimulating collaborative innovation for complex product development in the mobile computing industry’s business ecosystem. We also discuss the implications for theory and future research directions.
