Abstract

The rapid development of smart and connected digital technologies is creating a new wave of disruptive innovation by transforming society and revolutionising how we interpret markets and business organisations. Interconnected people, organisations, and technologies form complex digital ecosystems such as smart homes, smart cities, smart factories, or smart enterprises. Such settings represent valuable business opportunities, and research and practice explore the limitations and opportunities of digital ecosystems. Digital ecosystems are multidisciplinary concepts whose meaning and interpretation vary depending on the boundaries of the disciplinary areas in which they are framed. In this paper, we aim to progress the study of digital ecosystems by presenting the preliminary results of an exploratory quantitative bibliometric study. The paper contributes by identifying themes and trends of the digital ecosystems literature.
