Tuesday, 16:15-17:30
Panel Session 1439

Organizations are simultaneously embedded in inter-organizational networks and ecosystems, yet research on networks and ecosystems developed in isolation. This panel will provide a platform to underline similarities and differences between networks and ecosystems; to bring ecosystems’ focus on modularity and complementarity at the forefront of inter-organizational research while enriching ecosystems scholarship with systematic applications of network analytic tools to map the patterns of interdependences. This integration of two bodies of knowledge will bring new energy into maturing research on organizational networks and greater structure to the burgeoning research on ecosystems.

Panel Session 1440

This panel connects two important research streams that have received considerable attention in the literature. The first examines forms of cooperation and competition in an industry and how it evolves over time. It studies these dynamics as they unfold in the context of the interactions between younger ventures and well established companies. The second research stream focuses on the emergence and evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystems and factors that determine this evolution. It highlights how interactions between new ventures and established companies can influence the evolution of an ecosystem. To discuss these issues, we assembled a panel of academics, executives and entrepreneurial leaders. The objective is to draw on current research and best practices to generate rigorous, relevant and actionable research findings that enrich managerial practice.
