The Co-evolution of Digital Business Ecosystems: Theory and Modeling Analysis
It is widely acknowledged that increasing collaboration among organizations is one of the most important characteristics in the knowledge economy. A network of digital business ecosystems, which results from the structurally coupled and co-evolving digital ecosystem and business ecosystem, will offer opportunities of participation in the global economy to enterprises and to less developed or remote areas. However, digital business ecosystem is a relatively new concept in the field of e-business research, and there is still a lot of work to be done to establish its theoretical framework. Therefore, this paper reviews the theoretical relevance and discusses the co-evolution of digital business ecosystem in theoretical and modeling perspectives. First, the concept is brought out by discussing views of main contributors. Second, a two-layer co-evolutionary framework is established in the digital business ecosystem. Finally, a Logistic model is used to analysis the value creation produced in this ecosystem when individual organization co-evolved with other organizations.
