The Orchestration Dynamics for Creating an Urban Innovation Ecosystem.

The objective of this study is to analyze how the orchestration dynamics happens to create an urban innovation ecosystem and what dimensions are needed in each phase of the orchestration. For this, we use a procedural approach to study a case in Latin America, the Pacto Alegre, which is a project developed in southern Brazil. Our study showed that the first orchestration dimension that must be in action in ecosystem creation projects is the Agenda Setting, followed by Knowledge Mobility Management, Coordination and Appropriability Management of innovation. We demonstrate that the role of the quadruple helix actors' changes over time and according to the dimension of the mobilized orchestration. This article contributes to the literature demonstrating how the orchestration dynamics to create an urban innovation ecosystem happen and reveals the existence of a hierarchy of dimensions over time. For future studies, we suggest analyzing the orchestration dynamics in mature ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
