Abstract
Business ecosystem is a key concept that is nowadays ever more present in

managers’ minds and is studied in many industrial business articles and research

papers. A business ecosystem is the network of all actors that take part in the

creation and delivery of a product and it includes all entities involved in the

activities (Basole et al 2015). Similarly to what happens in nature, firms within an

ecosystem may either survive or cease to exist (Moore 1993). For this reason, in

an increasingly globalized world, the concept of business ecosystems is of upmost

importance in every firm’s mind and it is seen as a fundamental way to gain

knowledge, know-how and a stable competitive position within a market.

Research suggests that firms can’t live in isolation, but rather, must interact with

one another. Interacting through cooperation and competition, in fact, firms are

able to innovate, support each other and progress (Moore 1993). Firms that work

together in ecosystems are granted significant benefits as collaboration allows for

the creation of synergies, risk sharing in development and ability to respond to

external environmental changes (Thompson 2017 and Basole et al 2015). Above

all, aggregating in business ecosystems, through formal agreements in particular,

also represents a way to achieve resources and capabilities which are driver of the

heterogeneity that allows to achieve sustained competitive advantage (Barney

1991).
