Abstract
This chapter categorises the different configuration patterns of business ecosystems through the data gathered from exploratory and main cases. The outcome of this chapter focuses on the following objectives:
-
To identify business ecosystem configuration patterns by two dimensions reflected from two of the key representative constructive elements — Solution Platform Openness and Solution Diversity.
-
To picture the evolutionary path of each main case on nurturing business ecosystems with their selected patterns.
The configuration pattern study has been mentioned by a few papers, but has not been well explored and highlighted in previous studies (Shi & Gregory 1998; Zhang et al. 2007). There are two reasons to suggest that each business ecosystem has its own configuration pattern.
