讲座摘要：

I focus on the potentially disruptive power of digital technologies, the business model innovations that incumbents have to develop to cope with these technologies and the innovation ecosystems that have to be established to bring the BM innovation into life. Companies are increasingly developing new businesses using external sources of knowledge; they use open innovation and open business models to create new businesses to turn digital technologies into business opportunities. More specifically, I will focus on particular cases of open innovation and digital transformation in different types of organizations. I will explore the strengths and weaknesses of innovation ecosystems strategies, and how companies have to organize an innovation ecosystem to change their business models. The establishment and orchestration of such ecosystems is novel to many firms. I explore this topic using cases of some forward thinking industrial companies.
