Todays episode we discuss how competitors and rivals can cooperate to in an ecosystem and how competition has moved from firm to firm into ecosystem vs. ecosystem. I sat down to discuss the ecosystems (of both knowledge and business) in AEC industries with Dr.Gulnaz Aksenova. Gulnaz a lecturer in Building Information Modelling and Management at the Bartlett School of Construction and Project Management enlightens us on how these concepts are shaping competitive landscape in construction. She is well positioned to speak about these topics as her research interests cover topics such as: industry platforms and ecosystem governance, business model innovation.
