Abstract

Orchestrating an ecosystem requires coordination to create value, but prior research has tended to emphasize centralized ecosystem control over solutions involving distributed governance. By studying multilateral public-private collaborations to develop scientific knowledge to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, we identify a new model of ecosystem control—indirect and distributed governance using R&D consortia. We report archival and interview data on 46 consortia with overlapping corporate, nonprofit, and governmental membership. We find three models of consortia that allow member organizations to jointly orchestrate an ecosystem without centralized control. We discuss the broader implications of this model for orchestrating ecosystems.

复杂生态系统的分布式治理:研发联盟如何协调阿尔茨海默病知识生态系统

编排生态系统需要协调才能创造价值，但之前的研究倾向于强调集中的生态系统控制，而不是涉及分布式治理的解决方案。通过研究多边公私合作，以开发科学知识，找到治疗阿尔茨海默病的方法，我们确定了一种新的生态系统控制模式——利用研发联盟进行间接和分布式治理。我们报告了46个企业、非营利组织和政府成员重叠的财团的档案和采访数据。我们发现了三种联盟模型，它们允许成员组织在没有集中控制的情况下共同协调生态系统。我们讨论了这个模型对协调生态系统的更广泛影响。
