Abstract

Innovation increasingly relies on a diversity of knowledge held by multiple partners who join their efforts within interorganizational projects. Engaging heterogeneous actors with different and sometimes conflicting expectations to collaborate is not without challenges. Works have already stressed the particularities of such projects and provided guidance for setting up and managing them. However, we know little about the influence of permanent contexts on the pattern of cooperation of interorganizational innovation projects. Based on a field study, this paper aims to explain how the coupling of the project with the ecosystem (the wider permanent context) frames the cooperative stances throughout project execution. We highlight the dialectical nature of changes in cooperative stances, which are driven by evolving degrees of coupling between project partners and the ecosystem. Hence, the coupling tightens as partners are more knowledgeable about the requirements of the wider ecosystem and share the overarching goal of resolving bottlenecks.
