Abstract

This paper explores the Regional Innovation Ecosystem (RIE) aiming to fully understand its static and dynamic nature. We investigate how organizations co-evolve within an ecosystem and how does it affect their ecosystems. Based on the longitudional qualitative in-depth case study analysis of the three most representative Chinese RIEs, we empirically explore and validate a 4C framework. The framework includes construct, cooperation, configuration, and capability and offers insights into a better redistribution of roles and coordination of ecosystem resources, delivering a better understanding of the dynamic and co-evolution nature of ecosystem development and inspiring the practitioners to further explore their complementary partners. The key findings imply importance of within and inter RIE complementarity based collaboration, which with an appropriate and well informed governmental support can significantly boost National Innovation System.
