Abstract

This IDC Survey Spotlight takes a sneak peek at questions regarding industry ecosystem business model approach and focus from the second annual version of IDC's global Future of Industry Ecosystems Survey, which is in the field, almost complete. The questions are as follows:

• What are the business models your organization uses when working with industry ecosystem partners?
• Where do your joint ventures (JVs) with industry ecosystem partners focus?

Our research shows that while organizations across industry continue to work closely with partners on a project-by-project basis (and will continue to do so), the prevalence of more formal collaborations, ventures, and initiatives is increasing. These will span both private and public participants within industry ecosystems.

We expect to finalize our global survey very soon, where we will look at the final tally for these business model questions and others in this extensive survey that spans region, domain (C-level, business/operational line, IT), and company size.
