Role of Ecosystems: Partnerships and Alliances, Platforms and Communities

Use of the term “business ecology” or “ecosystem” has often been used in the realm of information technology. The classic business definition of ecosystem is that of an economic community supported by participating organisations and individuals.

Previous conceptualisations of the term have been criticised for not actualising their promise, specifically in the world of partnership and affinity. As technologies evolve we are presented with new opportunities to expand the role of ecosystems in business. Panelists discuss the role ecosystems and platforms will play in creating, cementing, and expanding partnerships.
