ABSTRACT

Abstract Digital transformation gives rise to enhanced innovation, changes in the digital landscape, and elevated stakeholder interconnectedness, so the phenomenon of digital innovation ecosystems (DIEs) arises. DIEs give new opportunities but, at the same time, pose new challenges related to the interaction between citizens, communities, organizations, and territories in the rapidly changing environment. The DIE concept has been explored in the scientific literature, though it remains a topic of partial debate. Hence, the main objective of this research is to provide a full-fledged definition of the term DIE, its core components, and a conceptual framework of the studied phenomenon. The research adopts a systematic literature review of scholarly studies. Additionally, we use a latent semantic analysis to complement the results, particularly to provide statistical validation for the theorized DIE framework. The outcomes of this research may inspire further academic research and discussion, fostering a deeper understanding of the topic, while helping business and political decision-makers assess and enhance the development level of their respective DIEs.
