Abstract

We develop a typology of ecosystems based on insights from graph theory. We suggest that there are three archetypes of ecosystems: centralized, adaptive and decentralized. We suggest a tool called an “Ecosystem Canvas” that helps elucidate differences in these ecosystem configurations and business models. We conclude with insights for how ecosystem canvas can be used to both describe existing ecosystems and strategize about future ecosystems.
