Circular innovation ecosystem orchestrators: a capabilities-as-routines-bundles framework
通过对咖啡行业循环创新生态系统协调者的多案例研究，识别出协调者所需的三种核心能力：战略目标导向、利益相关者协调、端到端解决方案配置与部署，为循环创新生态系统的构建提供指导。
Sustainability transition can create novel opportunities for innovation. Creating a circular innovation ecosystem helps firms acquire diverse and novel knowledge, finding partners and configuring environmental and social solutions through collective efforts, ultimately boosting sustainability success. Through a multiple embedded case study of initiatives (routines) of an orchestrator of a circular innovation ecosystem in the coffee industry, this study investigates the bundles of routines that form capabilities required for the development and orchestration of a circular innovation ecosystem. We develop a ‘capability as routines bundle’ framework finding three circular orchestration aggregated capabilities – namely, strategy towards a purpose, organising for stakeholders’ alignment, end to end solution configuration and deployment. Our findings have implications for the literature on circular innovation ecosystems and related capabilities, as well as for ecosystem orchestrators.
