Organisational ecosystem and stakeholders view.In search of epistemological logic in management
by Sylwia Stanczyk
International Journal of Economics and Business Research (IJEBR), Vol. 14, No. 3/4, 2017

Abstract: In the article, an effort has been made to outline the differences and similarities between two essential concepts used in management science. It is the business ecosystem, also known as the organisational ecosystem and the stakeholder theory. Particular attention has been paid to the relations between organisations in an ecosystem and in the stakeholder model. The aims will be realised through discussing the following research questions: Q1) What is the characteristic structure and the traits of business ecosystem? Q2) What epistemological grounds do business ecosystem ideas grow on? Q3) What are epistemological toots of the stakeholder theory? Q4) What are the typical traits of the stakeholder idea used in strategic management? Finally, the criteria differentiating the two concepts have been presented and a comparison of stakeholder versus business ecosystem has been carried out.
