The founding belief of the Business Ecosystem Alliance is that ecosystems are an important and growing phenomena in the life of organizations of all types, in all locations and in all sectors of activity. Ecosystems represent potentially the best organizational model for the future of organizations. The Business Ecosystem Alliance aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and others who are interested in better understanding how ecosystems work and how they can have a positive impact on organizations, society and the world. In doing so, the Business Ecosystem Alliance aims to create a mutually supporting ecosystem of knowledge, research and best practice.
