The role of business ecosystems in the building of disruptive innovations
Disruptive innovation is an evolving process whose construction depends on a heterogeneous set of organisations that are interconnected through an ecosystem of relationships. However, the systemic development of disruption innovations remains unexplored. Prior studies have examined the conditions under which disruptive innovation is likely to arise focusing on the internal perspective of the incumbent. Moreover, they have not made distinctions among technology, product and business model innovations, suggesting that all types of innovations follow a similar process to become disruptive. We argue that each type of disruptive innovation requires a different type of business ecosystem for the innovation to take hold and become disruptive. By developing a framework that conceptualizes disruption as a dynamic systemic process we provide an understanding of how potential disruptors create and nurture their ecosystem in order to successfully establish and embed their innovation.

Abstract
Disruptive innovation is an evolving process whose construction depends on a heterogeneous set of organisations that are interconnected through an ecosystem of relationships. However, the systemic development of disruption innovations remains unexplored. Prior studies have examined the conditions under which disruptive innovation is likely to arise focusing on the internal perspective of the incumbent. Moreover, they have not made distinctions among technology, product and business model innovations, suggesting that all types of innovations follow a similar process to become disruptive. We argue that each type of disruptive innovation requires a different type of business ecosystem for the innovation to take hold and become disruptive. By developing a framework that conceptualizes disruption as a dynamic systemic process we provide an understanding of how potential disruptors create and nurture their ecosystem in order to successfully establish and embed their innovation.
