Why is it important?
This study is timely as firms face growing pressure to innovate through collaboration with universities and global partners. What makes it unique is its focus on how companies co-evolve their internal processes with both innovation and knowledge ecosystems over time. It offers practical guidance for leaders managing complex partnerships to sustain long-term innovation.
Perspectives
This publication examines how a leading Brazilian aerospace firm aligned its internal innovation processes with universities and global partners over nearly three decades. Based on 51 interviews and extensive archival data, we show how innovation and knowledge ecosystems co-evolve through engaging, catalyzing, and orchestrating phases. What I find most important is demonstrating that firms from emerging economies like Brazil can shape global ecosystems rather than just adapt to them.
