Abstract:
Despite the power of AI technology to boost productivity, the challenges faced by complementors in an ecosystem to create value from such technologies remain understudied. We unveil the discontinuities afflicting complementors’ product offerings when deploying ecosystem-sponsored AI technologies, and we introduce two distinct alignment strategies, technological and flow alignment, which allow complementors to utilize the ecosystem leader’s AI technology and orchestration efforts in buffering their products from the discontinuities. By studying Apple’s release of an artificial intelligence kit, Core ML, in its mobile ecosystem, we provide robust empirical support for our hypotheses. This study contributes to our understanding of architectural evolution and ecosystem strategy.
