In the past years, the ecosystem concept has gained importance in the strategy and management fields. Originated by Moore in 1993, ecosystems have since then been analysed and critically reviewed by many scholars. The biological metaphor used to describe the variety of actors suggests that artificial ecosystems emerge by themselves, a point for which it has been criticised. Past research showed that ecosystems need to be orchestrated to develop and renew over time. Although research on ecosystems flourished, our understanding of ecosystem orchestration remains limited. Reviewing the literature on ecosystem orchestration, this paper summarises the current research on the structure and dynamics of orchestration. In particular, the article reviews a recent research stream that addresses dynamic capabilities in ecosystems, thus laying the ground for further research.
