However, both academic and managerial knowledge of the strategies that especially small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) can use to engage in existing ecosystems for value creation remains scattered and predominantly vague. This article thus aims to explore applicable ecosystem engagement strategies from the perspective of SMEs, as discussed in previous scholarly literature. In so doing, the article puts forward and elaborates three distinct strategies that SMEs can apply to become part of value-creating ecosystems. In this way, the findings contribute to the literature on ecosystems.10aComplementarities10aecosystem10aengagement10aEntry10aSME10astrategy10avalue creation1 aBashuri, Ermela1 aBailetti, Tony  utimreview.ca/article/145300643nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245005500055210005100110260004200161300001000203490000600213653001700219653002000236653001400256653001500270653002100285653001400306653002500320653001300345100001900358856003600377       2014                        eng d  a1927-032100aTIM Lecture Series – The Business of Open Source0 aTIM Lecture Series The Business of Open Source  aOttawabTalent First Networkc01/2014  a28-310 v410aarchitecture10abusiness models10acommunity10aengagement10aentrepreneurship10alicensing10aopen source software10apatterns1 aWeiss, Michael  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/759
