Call for paper of a business ecosystem track in EuRAM 2014 Awards: the only one best paper will win 1000 Euro, which is sponsored by NEOMA business school Publications opportunity: the selected papers will be invited for the submission to a SSCI/ABS 2* listed journal. CODE：14.01 Name of track： Explorations of the Nature and Mission of Business Ecosystems: Transforming social network to value chain through business model innovation Proponents Yongjiang Shi, University of Cambridge, U.K Ke Rong, Bournemouth University, U.K Liang Guo, NEOMA Business School, France. Keywords： business ecosystem, value chain, social network, business model innovation Descriptions / Details In the last twenty years we have observed the firm versus firm competition has given way to supply chain versus supply chain competition, and now further evolved to a new model of competition between business ecosystems. We are witnessing the emergence of ecosystem-based business model that reconfigures a set of industries with a new creative idea on a new platform for value co-creation in order to generate a new industry. It is critical and urgent for both industry and academia to systematically understand business model, business ecosystem, and especially their interactive relationships. This proposed track for EURAM 2014 aims to achieve two objectives: - to explore the key emerging concepts and their attributes including business ecosystem, business model, platform, and the relationships between themselves as well as with other established concepts such as social networks, innovation, entrepreneurship, new production development (NPD), industrial dynamics, industrial life cycle, and supply chain/value chain - to produce a generic and justified theoretical architecture in order to synthesize the above concepts and discover a more well integrated theory Business model innovation creates a new business language and imaginative space for practitioners and researchers to design, configure, and transform resources to achieve strategic target. A business model innovation from an ecosystem requires a new capacity for agility and calls for a further understanding on the interactions between business model innovation and business ecosystem, and on the underlying reasons for business ecosystem configurations are keys to improving business processes and adapting to change. In order to achieve the track objectives, the following potential topic could be highlighted but not limited: 1. How could any firm better tap its social network in order to become a more innovative player through open innovation? 2. What are the relationship between the business model and business ecosystem especially during the ecosystem transformation? 3. How can a platform help the transformation from social networks to an industrial value chain? 4. What are the constructive elements and structure of a business ecosystem including the platform? 5. How do the different ecosystem players and roles co-evolve and be interdependent? 6. How do geographic dimensions impact on the business ecosystem nurturing? 7. What are the strategic capabilities to ensure the business ecosystem health? 8. How does the industry symbiosis implicate to business ecosystem development? 9. How do business ecosystems contribute to new industry emergency and emerging industries impact on the original ecosystem?
