ABSTRACT: This paper uses the method of main path and content
analysis to analyze the important scholars, influential journals and key
literatures in the field of innovation ecosystem. The theoretical development
skeleton of innovation ecosystem research has been clearly constructed. The
study shows that the innovation ecosystem theory, as a new field of research,
is developing rapidly. The research focuses on three new fields: business,
technology and service innovation ecosystem. The research early focused on
strategic management and innovation systems, but it focuses on the ecology of
various disciplines now. Value co-creation gradually becomes the main driving
force to promote the development of innovation ecosystem. Further, based on the
structural analysis of documents, the paper constructs a panoramic theoretical
framework for the development of the innovation ecosystem from the perspectives
of innovation, driving factors, innovation subject, innovation structure,
innovation community and innovation risk, putting forward the future research
direction of the innovation ecosystem.
