Abstract

The use of ecosystem metaphor in different branches of management, business, innovation and entrepreneurship, are growing increasingly. The evolution property of ecosystems has highlighted. The aim of this study is to identify the stages of the evolution of business ecosystems. The major of previous studies about ecosystem’s evolution are based on case studies and affected by context. Then they are not generalizable. In this study we present a comprehensive model for evolution stages of industrial business ecosystems by qualitative Meta synthesis approach. 16 studies are identified by literature review that they were about evolution stages. Then 105 codes were extracted and translated in 19 conceptions and a 4 stages model was presented. This model, by highlighting the value chain and industrial platforms, is a good model for industrial business ecosystems. Also industrial researchers can use it to design a pattern for a special industrial ecosystem, or they can use it for studying and evaluating of the existent industrial ecosystems.
