Innovation Ecosystem and Digital Transformation: Linking Two Emerging Agendas through Knowledge

Innovation ecosystem (IE) and digital transformation (DT) are two waves that have been gaining prominence and becoming popular around the world. These approaches are emerging disconnectedly and there is no consensus about the concepts or definitions of these topics. Integrating concepts can lead to a better understanding of the links between these two areas of knowledge and improve the ability to see common points between both themes. This study's contributions include: (1) introducing a new integrative framework to enhance the understanding of the IE-DT interface through knowledge; and (2) a research agenda, with research propositions and future research direction. The proposed IE-DT integrative framework provides insights for academics and practitioners.
