Objective of the study: The objective of this theoretical essay is to propose an integrative framework for analyzing value creation and capture in innovation ecosystems.Methodology: This is a theoretical essay based on a narrative review of the concepts of innovation ecosystems, value creation, and value capture.Originality/Relevance: The article theoretically contributes to the analysis of value creation and capture by comparing and contrasting the platform and territorial approaches in innovation ecosystems.Main results: In analyzing the creation and capture of value in innovation ecosystems, the theoretical similarities and differences between the territorial and platform approaches must be considered. Thus, strategies for creating and capturing value must be designed procedurally, according to each stage of the innovation ecosystem's life cycle. Furthermore, value creation and capture strategies must be aligned, and actors must develop individual and collective mechanisms to create and capture the value in the innovation ecosystem, which can be viewed as a multidimensional value (economic, social, cultural or environmental).Theoretical/methodological contributions: The article provides a conceptual framework as well as six theoretical propositions for analyzing value creation and capture in innovation ecosystems.Social/management contributions: The article assists companies, governments, universities, and non-governmental organization managers in considering both the creation and capture of value as drivers for action in innovation ecosystems.

Objective: We have analyzed Brazil’s initial COVID-19 combat actions by the regional innovation ecosystem actors.Methodology/approach: This is a descriptive and qualitative study using documentary research. In total, 471 reports collected via web scraping were submitted to content analysis (using a codebook and intercoder test) and correspondence analysis.Originality/relevance: From an innovation ecosystem perspective, this study fulfills an identified need to understand how different actors have proposed initial solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, considering different geographic regions.Main results: According to the seminal literature, in the more economically and socially favored regions, the government-industry dyadic model was corroborated, while in the less favored regions, the most innovative actors were universities and society. Our results have not shown the quintuple helix’s performance, which leads us to ponder the use of this model in crises. Furthermore, although the quadruple helix model was observed in our analyses, in the Brazilian geographic regions the helices were not designed in a transversal way.Theoretical contributions: We propose that the geography of a pandemic combat occurs unevenly by the innovation ecosystem actors. Moreover, the helices ordering refers to the theoretical development process and not to the complementarity of the role between actors.Practical implications: This article highlights the need for integrated management of the innovation ecosystem’s initial actions in a pandemic, preventing regions from being neglected, especially those with lower levels of wealth or quality of life.

Collaborative innovation become one of the most strategy decision across firms and a well-defined phenomenon that became popular among practitioners and researchers (A. S. Cui O’Connor, 2012; Liu et al., 2017). Many theories were considered to explain collaboration phenomena such as resources-based view, organization theory, strategy, information processing theory, the economic theory of complementarities among others (Barney, 1991; Cassiman Veugelers, 2006; Daft Lengel, 1986; Milgrom Roberts, 1995; Tushman Nadler, 1978). However, technology advances provide new variations in collaboration to innovativeness. For example, collaborative activities with suppliers and customers (Karhade Dong, 2021), community source projects (Liu et al., 2017) or collaboration with distant partners (T. Cui et al., 2020), corporate engagement with startups (Shankar Shepherd, 2019), innovation networks (Aarikka-Stenroos et al., 2017), and innovation ecosystems (Granstrand Holgersson, 2020).Collaborative innovation takes over the existence of an inter-organizational activities executed by people that together perform with high level of interdependence something innovative (T. Cui et al., 2020; Davis Eisenhardt, 2011). Some authors (Adner Kapoor, 2010; T. Cui et al., 2020; Rico et al., 2008) highlight that this interdependence is characterized along two dimensions: technological and behavioral. Technological interdependence is linked to knowledge and the exchange of resources for research and development, and behavioral interdependence is associated with the field of communication, social interaction between collaborative actors and the coordination of these relationships to innovate.Other perspectives in the literature explain and theorize about collaborative innovation as knowledge-sharing trajectories (Majchrzak Malhotra, 2016; Trkman Desouza, 2012), or multi-actor collaboration (Torfing, 2019), or building collaborative capabilities (Swink, 2006) among other approaches. In this editorial, we bring some thoughts and idea about collaborative innovation under a technological perspective to incentive researchers to go beyond in innovative technologies research embedded in collaboration.Collaboration efforts also became a common way of firms to enhance innovations and its technological development with clear determinants about their beneficial effects, and therefore, the literature is well stablished in this subject (Pereira et al., 2018). However, collaboration only succeeds when technological resources and capabilities are combined, and parties define jointly how to enhance and use them accordingly (Snow, 2015).Collaborative innovation as a new technological paradigm refers to a network innovation model supported by interactions of multiple parties such as enterprises, universities and research institutions as core elements and government, financial institutions, nonprofit organizations, intermediaries as auxiliary elements (W. Zhang et al., 2021). Notwithstanding, col
协同创新成为企业最具战略性的决策之一,也是一种在从业者和研究人员中流行的明确现象(a.S.Cui O'Connor,2012;刘等人,2017)。许多理论被认为可以解释协作现象,如基于资源的观点、组织理论、战略、信息处理理论、互补性经济理论等(Barney,1991;Cassiman-Veugelers,2006;Daft Lengel,1986;Milgrom-Roberts,1995;Tushman Nadler,1978)。然而,技术进步为合作创新提供了新的变化。例如,与供应商和客户的合作活动(Karhade Dong,2021)、社区来源项目(Liu et al.,2017)或与远方合作伙伴的合作(T.Cui et al.,2020)、企业与初创公司的合作(Shankar-Sherpherd,2019)、创新网络(Aarikka Stenroos et al,和创新生态系统(Granstrad-Holgersson,2020)。协作创新接管了由人们执行的组织间活动的存在,这些活动在高度相互依存的情况下共同表现出创新性的东西(T.Cui et al.,2020;Davis Eisenhardt,2011)。一些作者(Adner Kapoor,2010;T.Cui等人,2020;Rico等人,2008)强调,这种相互依存关系有两个维度:技术和行为。技术相互依存关系到知识和研发资源的交换,行为相互依存关系涉及沟通领域、合作参与者之间的社会互动以及协调这些关系以进行创新。文献中的其他观点将协作创新解释为知识共享轨迹并将其理论化(Majchrzak-Malhotra,2016;Trkman-Desouza,2012),或多参与者协作(Torfing,2019),或构建协作能力(Swink,2006)等方法。在这篇社论中,我们从技术的角度提出了一些关于合作创新的想法和想法,以激励研究人员超越合作中的创新技术研究。合作努力也成为企业加强创新及其技术发展的一种常见方式,其有益效果具有明确的决定因素,因此,在这一主题上的文献已经很好地建立起来(Pereira等人,2018)。然而,只有当技术资源和能力相结合,各方共同定义如何相应地增强和使用它们时,协作才会成功(Snow,2015)。协作创新作为一种新的技术范式,是指由企业等多方互动支持的网络创新模式,大学和研究机构为核心要素,政府、金融机构、非营利组织、中介机构为辅助要素(W.Zhang et al.,2021)。尽管如此,在不同组织级别中运行的协作网络以各种模式和进化特征存在,它们需要网络组成中的不同参与者和能力,才能在某些情况下成为开发技术的显著资产,并在之后获得专利(Gomes et al.,2017)。面对创新轨迹中的失败风险,企业投资于合作举措,试图减轻成本影响,在技术生命周期开发过程中分担责任并提高技术性能。因此,技术联盟是实现这些目标的有用手段(Kim Song,2007)。技术联盟对于实现数字化转型和创新至关重要。简言之,张等人(2021)强调技术联盟是一种自愿的企业间合作,通过共享和交换这些技术来共同开发技术,以满足业务需求(W.Zhang et al.,2021)。各种技术领域的合作有助于带来异质知识、互补资源,以及提高创新绩效的能力(Swink,2006;W.Zhang等人,2021)。在创新本质上是知识创造的观点下(Nonaka,1994),通过技术视角的协同创新可能由创新过程生命周期中产生的知识的生成、共享、集成和利用的不同活动、过程或例程来配置(Nonaka,1994;W.Zhang等人,2021)。此外,这种活动、过程或例程的配置支持进化技术能力的发展(Sampson,2007)。在技术创新领域,进化现在在本质上更具协作性(J.Zhang et al.,2019)。协作是技术繁荣的趋势。
