Programme Overview
Traditional business strategy has often been about differentiating the firm from its competitors within the same industry. To achieve this, firms have often relied on investing in internal resources and building internal capabilities to achieve their competitive advantage. However, such a traditional approach to strategy can no longer guarantee success in the new age filled with ever more complexity and uncertainty. Leaders in this new age need to be able to understand how their organization is embedded within the broader ecosystem and frame and execute their strategies accordingly.
In the first module, we start off with an overview of ecosystems and go on to understand different forms of ecosystems. The term ecosystem refers to a complex network of entities composed of competitors, suppliers, buyers, complementors, as well as regulators, research universities and labs, and capital providers. Scholars and practitioners often refer to different forms of ecosystems to highlight certain important elements concerning such ecosystems.
Platform ecosystems emphasize on the central orchestrating role of the firm owning the platform in connecting the two sides. For example, Uber connects drivers and riders, Amazon Marketplace connects sellers and customers, and Swiggy connects restaurants and diners and so on. Innovation ecosystems often refer to the upstream and downstream parts of the value chain in which the focal firm is embedded. Typical examples include the semiconductor ecosystem and the telecom ecosystem where multiple players upstream and downstream are part of a complex network of relationships to deliver ultimate customer value through their products and services.
In the second module, we focus on the nature of relationships within ecosystems and their consequences for firm strategy. Ecosystems often involve both competition and cooperation among firms. This results in interesting dynamics in relationships and has important implications for leaders formulating and executing their strategies.
In the third module, we look at new technologies such as AI/ ML and Blockchain that have the potential to transform existing ecosystems by removing bottlenecks and improving efficiencies within the ecosystem. We shall discuss the benefits, costs, as well as risks associated with employing such technologies within ecosystems and how leaders can internalize them in formulating the right ecosystem strategy for their organizations.
In the final module, we bring together our learnings by looking at real world case studies on both successful and not so successful ecosystem strategies.
