biology to clarify its functioning and illustrate possible paths of development: in 2012, Greg Horowitt and Victor Hwang, in their book <i>\u201cThe Rainforest: The Secret to Building the Next Silicon Valley\u201d<\/i>, used the eloquent metaphor of the rainforest to explain the success of the economic and entrepreneurial model of Silicon Valley. The metaphor of ecosystems directly and ideologically preceded this reasoning and proposed a functional model that is potentially applicable to a wide variety of business contexts and territorial economies.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the concept of a biological ecosystem was introduced in the 1930s by <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/b\/business-ecosystem.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">botanic Arthur Tansley<\/a>, who described it as a <b>community og organisms<\/b> interact constantly with each other and with the entirety of their environment: to thrive, such organisms <b>compete and simultaneously collaborate<\/b> utilizing the available resources, thus evolving together and developing the skills to adapt to any changes and disturbances from the outside. To truly understand how business ecosystems work, it&#8217;s important to keep in mind something that may not be immediately obvious about natural ecosystems: the processes occurring within an ecosystem, in a completely simultaneous and synergistic manner, involve both collaboration and competition. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">In the Nineties, and precisely in 1993, <\/span><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><i>business strategist<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"> James Moore adapts the concept of ecosystems to business in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/1993\/05\/predators-and-prey-a-new-ecology-of-competition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&#8220;Predators and Prey: A New Ecology of Competition\u201d<\/i><\/a><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">, an article published in the Harvard Business Review and became famous; Moore drew a parallel between organisms in symbiosis in natural ecosystems and companies operating in the world of commerce, which demonstrated to be increasingly interconnected and interdependent with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Moore suggested that each individual company was not only one of the members of a productive sector but<\/span> <b><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">an integral part of a<\/span> <span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;\"><i>business ecosystem<\/i><\/span><\/b>.<span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"> which, in reality, cuts across a variety of sectors and industries.

According to Moore, every ecosystem goes through four phases of life: <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/1993\/05\/predators-and-prey-a-new-ecology-of-competition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">birth, expansion, leadership, and finally renewal<\/a> (which, if not achieved, leads to the crystallization and then dissolution of the ecosystem). When it comes to business, of course, these four phases do not have such clear temporal and conceptual boundaries and can overlap with each other in the natural unfolding of forces exerted by the entities within the ecosystem. But what remains unchanged and is always present in the life of ecosystems is what Moore calls <b>co-evolution<\/b>, a process of constant interaction between the competitive and collaborative strategies implemented by the members of the ecosystem. <\/p>\n<p>To understand: in the initial phase, the cooperative focus is on customer acquisition and defining business values, built around the innovation that drove the birth of the ecosystem; Moore cites the 1970s and the rise of the <i>personal computer<\/i>, huge novelty on the market, which triggered the birth of an ecosystem of companies which orbitated around it. Continuing with the phases, expansion entails all companies working together to bring the cumulative offering of products and services to an increasingly broad market, collaborating with suppliers and partners to gain the momentum needed to gain ground in the market. Meanwhile, naturally, leaders emerge within the ecosystem, taking on the delicate task of providing a solid <i>vision<\/i> that inspires suppliers, customers, and partners to continue cooperating to constantly improve the offering. Finally, we come to the stage of internal renewal within the ecosystem, where we naturally and circularly return to the starting point: innovation. Therefore, there is close collaboration with innovative entities to bring new ideas into the ecosystem. All of this is accomplished by managing entry barriers into the ecosystem to protect oneself, one&#8217;s ideas, and the entire community from potential rival ecosystems, thereby avoiding the loss of top clients and suppliers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8492715 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8492715\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-41a2b14\" data-id=\"41a2b14\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d35225e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d35225e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0e35c08 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0e35c08\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0a1d574\" data-id=\"0a1d574\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e60fbe4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e60fbe4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">The Life within Ecosystems: Internal Composition<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-de0fb3e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"de0fb3e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ff1569c\" data-id=\"ff1569c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b335f44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b335f44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Regarding the members of an ecosystem, it is worth noting that a business ecosystem is <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torinostrategica.it\/schedeattivita\/torino-startup-una-proposta-per-potenziare-lecosistema-locale-per-la-creazione-dimpresa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;an<\/a> <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torinostrategica.it\/schedeattivita\/torino-startup-una-proposta-per-potenziare-lecosistema-locale-per-la-creazione-dimpresa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interconnected set of individual<\/a> <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torinostrategica.it\/schedeattivita\/torino-startup-una-proposta-per-potenziare-lecosistema-locale-per-la-creazione-dimpresa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">entrepreneurs, economic operators, and institutions that formally and informally interact to generate business activities&#8221;<\/a>; therefore, understandably, its internal composition is quite varied.
