Strategic Approaches to the Development of Complex Organisational Ecosystems: The Case of Lithuanian Clusters

The development of complex organisational ecosystems that reflect adaptive systems (CASs) calls for radically different strategic approaches with respect to the case classical, stable hierarchical systems. A need such especially increases in contexts lack cooperation traditions and trust often require an explicit or implicit leadership order encourage maintain development. However, scientific literature still gives limited attention by emphasising latter’s dynamism. In contribute filling this research gap, a qualitative, multiple study nine Lithuanian clusters representing variety industrial settings was conducted reveal enablement ecosystems. performed enabled two stages initial stage, experimentation approach, external agent approach ad hoc clustering fellow professionals can be distinguished. later stages, strategies vary degree involvement ecosystem members, as self-organisation, coordinated self-organisation active coordination, are more explicit.
