Abstract
The paper aims to discuss the role of innovation ecosystems as a factor that contributes to the adoption by companies of more advanced generations of digital technologies. Based on the literature about corporate strategic management and innovation economics from Neoschumpeterian inspiration, the paper assesses whether the participation in an innovation ecosystem intensive in resources for the development of digital technologies stimulates companies’ digitalization process. The discussion derives from the analysis of results from a survey applied in 2020 to different companies located at the Campinas metropolitan region (RMC), some of them linked to the University of Campinas (Unicamp), and to companies from other Brazilian regions. The econometric exercise shows that the participation in innovation ecosystems promotes the adoption of more advanced stages of digitalization in specific economic industries.
