Coordination in slowly emerging service ecosystems: Construction history

Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2016

The purpose here is to map long-term structural changes in construction ecosystems and to trace the historical forces leading to these changes.

Ecosystem change appears as originating primarily with government customers, who are more able to effect institutional change. Over time, customers have retreated from coordinating multiple providers of increasingly specialized services.
