Abstract

In this paper, we present a model that shows how the new innovation environment defined by co-creation experiments within a value chain and supported by e-networks connecting suppliers, partners and customers at world level is changing business models. Due to the ongoing convergence of products, industries and technologies at world level, innovation capacity is rapidly improving. To succeed in this new environment for innovation, multinationals will have to rely on an “ecosystem” (M.Iansiti and R.Levien, 2004) made of external competencies and bear on all participants in the value chain from customers to suppliers, partners and universities R&D departments.
