Value creation in digital ecosystems entails bottlenecks among actors with heterogeneous interests and expectations. Data control is a critical element of digital strategy to remove bottlenecks and unleash value creation in the ecosystem. In this chapter, we focus on the formative stages of a cloud-based ecosystem to examine how actors coordinate data control activities to co-create value. We develop a conceptual model of data control coordination in cloud-based ecosystems by drawing on the formation of the EU GAIA-X ecosystem. Our model illustrates how data control is regulated and managed either within the firm’s hierarchy or within the ecosystem. It shows that coordination among actors across a cloud-based ecosystem starts by resolving data control bottlenecks in multilateral agreements before engaging in innovative activities that lead to value co-creation. Our model contributes to research on digital strategy by looking at data control coordination as a precursor to generating complementarities between ecosystem actors. This raises important implications for data strategies in digital ecosystems.

Abstract

Value creation in digital ecosystems entails bottlenecks among actors with heterogeneous interests and expectations. Data control is a critical element of digital strategy to remove bottlenecks and unleash value creation in the ecosystem. In this chapter, we focus on the formative stages of a cloud-based ecosystem to examine how actors coordinate data control activities to co-create value. We develop a conceptual model of data control coordination in cloud-based ecosystems by drawing on the formation of the EU GAIA-X ecosystem. Our model illustrates how data control is regulated and managed either within the firm’s hierarchy or within the ecosystem. It shows that coordination among actors across a cloud-based ecosystem starts by resolving data control bottlenecks in multilateral agreements before engaging in innovative activities that lead to value co-creation. Our model contributes to research on digital strategy by looking at data control coordination as a precursor to generating complementarities between ecosystem actors. This raises important implications for data strategies in digital ecosystems.
