Abstract

This research aims to analyse the current literature on business ecosystems in the life sciences sector, with a focus on the evolution, opportunities, and impacts of collaborative, formal, and informal systems. Business ecosystems, while not constrained by geography, create value through decentralised social ties and informal interconnections. In recent years, also due to COVID-19, there has been a growing interest in the life sciences sector among business scholars. This chapter proposes a bibliometric analysis of papers published between 2019 and 2023, with the aim of analysing the main issues addressed by scholars adopting an approach that is as comprehensive as possible for both the definitions of ecosystems and life sciences. The study identifies managerial implications, emphasising the importance of ecosystem management that integrates system logic and sustainability. Finally, limitations are highlighted, suggesting future research over a longer period and aimed at specific subsectors of life sciences.
