Abstract

Abstract Based on previous research related to disruptive innovation and ecosystem governance, this paper aims to explore the process by which latecomer firms achieve disruptive innovation through building ecosystems. We adopted a single-case study approach to achieve a deeper theoretical construction of this emerging phenomenon. An emerging Chinese firm was selected through theoretical sampling. We used the Gioia methodology to code and analyze the extensively collected primary and secondary data. On this basis, we reveal the process by which it achieves disruptive innovation and examined the role of business ecosystem governance in this process. Our findings illuminate the dynamic process by which latecomers achieve disruptive innovation, showing that the latecomers can achieve both disruptive technology design and disruptive market reconfiguration with the help of the business ecosystem. The study also reveals two main approaches to ecosystem governance, namely relationship governance and value governance, which play different roles in different periods of ecosystem development. Consequently, our study enriches theories related to business ecosystem governance and disruptive innovation in the latecomers. Important management implications suggest that the latecomers must not only have the ability to create new advantages in differentiation technologies, but more importantly, to open up corresponding markets for maintaining technological advantages.
后发企业如何实现颠覆性创新?商业生态系统视角
摘要本文在对颠覆性创新与生态系统治理相关研究的基础上,探讨了后发企业通过构建生态系统实现颠覆性创新的过程。我们采用单案例研究的方法对这一新兴现象进行更深层次的理论建构。通过理论抽样选择了一家新兴的中国企业。我们使用Gioia方法对广泛收集的一手和二手数据进行编码和分析。在此基础上,揭示了企业实现颠覆性创新的过程,并考察了企业生态系统治理在这一过程中的作用。研究结果揭示了后发企业实现颠覆性创新的动态过程,表明在商业生态系统的帮助下,后发企业既可以实现颠覆性技术设计,也可以实现颠覆性市场重构。研究还揭示了生态系统治理的两种主要途径,即关系治理和价值治理,它们在生态系统发展的不同时期发挥着不同的作用。因此,我们的研究丰富了后发企业生态系统治理和破坏性创新的相关理论。重要的管理启示表明,后发者不仅要有能力在差异化技术上创造新的优势,更重要的是要开辟相应的市场以保持技术优势。
