Smyrnios %K ecosystem %K knowledge %K opportunity %K roadmap %K scientometrics %K text mining %X Opportunity identification is a continuous process in ecosystems. However, ambiguities and challenges associated with knowledge exploration and exploitation can retard opportunity recognition processes. This in turn may culminate in excessive expenditure of resources or loss of latent opportunities. The present study adopts an analytical approach and proposes a methodological roadmap that utilizes scientometric and text mining techniques. The roadmap uses data from Web of Science as input, and generates insights that support decision-making about resource saving, strategic planning, investment, and policymaking. Our roadmap extends methods used in studying ecosystems by combining existing and novel techniques in data analytics. Using Python and VOSViewer, we show an exemplary application of the new roadmap, framed in the context of the Nordic countries’ renewable energy ecosystem. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 11 %P 34-55 %8 01/2021 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1415 %N 1 %1 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Behrooz Khademi is a PhD Candidate in Technology and Innovation Management at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Melbourne, Australia.

In comparison with former ways of doing business in isolation, ecosystems nowadays have created ample opportunities for generating significantly more values. However, there are also potential threats in the pathway towards success in ecosystems. Ecosystem value creation and capture (EVCC) has recently gained significant attention in the academic literature of business and management. Yet, due to the complex structures of ecosystems and ambiguity in understanding value creation and capture in ecosystems, the contributions heretofore are fragmented, where scholars analysed different aspects of EVCC. The present study offers a systematic review of the literature to shed light on the EVCC studies. The content analysis of a fine-grained sample of articles relevant to EVCC revealed that despite the initiation of discussions in 2007, the topic did not gain noticeable attention until 2016. A 150% increase in the number of papers has since been observed. The paper contributes to the intersection of strategy and studies on EVCC by synthesizing existing knowledge, illuminating current EVCC research, and highlighting potential research avenues. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 16-34 %8 01/2020 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1311 %N 1 %1 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Behrooz Khademi is a PhD Candidate in Technology and Innovation Management at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Melbourne, Australia.

Since knowledge exploration is a resource-intensive task for organizations, untimely or excessive knowledge exploration have detrimental impacts on the innovativeness and competitiveness of organizations. The benefits of performance measurement and management tools for knowledge management in organizations have been known for many years now. Therefore, the application of similar tools in ecosystems may enable actors to have access to valuable external knowledge. However, there is a paucity of such tools in management scholarship. The purpose of this study is to bridge this gap by proposing a conceptual tool – the Ecosystem Knowledge (EK) Explorer, which generates insightful knowledge for ecosystem actors using codified technical knowledge (e.g., scientific publications and patents). Not only does the EK Explorer reduce the uncertainty and fuzziness of the knowledge exploration phase for ecosystem actors, it also enables them to save resources and have access to strategic knowledge regarding competition, collaboration, technology management, and policy making in ecosystems. Bibliometric analysis, social network analysis, and text mining were used to conceptualize the constructs and measurable variables of the EK Explorer. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 28-40 %8 07/2019 %G eng %U https://timreview.ca/article/1253 %N 7 %1 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) Behrooz Khademi is a Higher Degree by Research Candidate in Technology and Innovation Management at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Melbourne, Australia.
