Customers, funders, owners, and society-at-large often expect different value outcomes from a firm. They therefore have different motivations for being involved in the firm. These differences in value expectations are more strongly expressed in technology-based ventures, which often rely heavily on access to heterogeneous external resources such as capital, specialised knowledge, distribution, and service. In this paper, we use a wicked problem lens to explore specific challenges for companies to mediate seemingly contradictory propositions. We use two dimensions of wicked problems involving complexity and complicatedness, and conduct a secondary analysis of seven technology venture case studies from Australia and New Zealand. We then categorise the configuration types of these firms' stakeholder value propositions in the context of their scale-up process. We contribute to the value proposition and business model development research streams by suggesting that the challenge of mediating value propositions that conflict can manifest itself in four types of configurations: easy, complicated, complex and wicked. Complicated and complex propositions are thorny, but with structures and processes in place, they can be adequately addressed. On the other hand, wicked propositions consist of many unknowns and require firms to collaborate with stakeholders to derive outcomes that align company scaling objective with stakeholder value propositions.10acomplexity10acomplicatedness10ascaling-up10astakeholders10avalue proposition10awicked problem1 aOoi, Yat, Ming1 aHusted, Kenneth  utimreview.ca/article/143401907nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245011000055210006900165260004200234300001000276490000600286520118700292653001501479653002601494653001501520653001501535653001601550100002301566700002701589700002401616856003701640       2017                        eng d  a1927-032100aConvergent Innovation in Emerging Healthcare Technology Ecosystems: Addressing Complexity and Integration0 aConvergent Innovation in Emerging Healthcare Technology Ecosyste  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2017  a44-540 v73 aPrecision Medicine and Digital Health are emerging areas in healthcare, and they are underpinned by convergent or cross-industry innovation. However, convergence results in greater uncertainty and complexity in terms of technologies, value networks, and organization. There has been limited empirical research on emerging and convergent ecosystems, especially in addressing the issue of integration. This research identifies how organizations innovate in emerging and convergent ecosystems, specifically, how they address the challenge of integration. We base our research on empirical analyses using a series of longitudinal case studies employing a combination of case interviews, field observations, and documents. Our findings identify a need to embrace the complexity by adopting a variety of approaches that balance “credibility-seeking” and “advantage-seeking” behaviours, to navigate, negotiate, and nurture both the innovation and ecosystem, in addition to a combination of “analysis” and “synthesis” actions to manage aspects of integration. We contribute to the convergent innovation agenda and provide practical approaches for innovators in this domain. 10acomplexity10aconvergent innovation10aecosystems10ahealthcare10aintegration1 aPhillips, Mark, A.1 aHarrington, Tomás, S.1 aSrai, Jagjit, Singh  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/110502255nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245012300055210006900178260004200247300001000289490000600299520157400305653001101879653001501890653001501905653001901920653001501939653001901954100002801973856003602001       2015                        eng d  a1927-032100aGovernance Solutions for Wicked Problems: Metropolitan Innovation Ecosystems as Frontrunners to Sustainable Well-Being0 aGovernance Solutions for Wicked Problems Metropolitan Innovation  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2015  a31-410 v53 aThe growing specialization and interdependence of societies as well as their rapid technological and economic transformation have increased the level of uncertainty and complexity in decision making and the role of wicked problems in policy making. This article analyzes the nature and evolution of wicked problems and argues that they stem from the gap between the complexity of the policy problem and the variety of the corresponding governance arrangements. This complexity gap can be closed with new governance solutions that include participation, interaction, and cooperation among stakeholders; collective learning processes; coordination by mutual adjustment and clear systemic direction, decentralization, diversity, and experimentation; and effective measures to overcome system rigidities and development bottlenecks. For several reasons, cities and metropolitan areas provide ideal ecosystems for addressing wicked problems. They have the requisite variety of resources, capabilities and services, physical proximity that facilitates rich face-to-face communication, learning and cooperation, as well as the right scope for producing and experimenting with the necessary public goods and services. The article concludes by arguing that Finland could become a global frontrunner in solving wicked problems in policy making by adopting a strategy of sustainable well-being. This strategy would build on the world-class well-being knowledge within the Finnish welfare state and the rapidly growing international research on subjective well-being and happiness.10acities10acomplexity10agovernance10asustainability10awell-being10awicked problem1 aHämäläinen, Timo, J.  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/935
