Abstract

We studied the dynamics of inter-organizational collaboration around the development of an emerging technology in the Finnish electric car ecosystem from 2011 to 2015. We contribute to strategy process research by identifying the distinction between mental models of industry future versus mental models of implementation and to the literature on inter-organizational collaboration by describing how affective influence elicits potential partners' perceptions of the benefits of collaboration.
