Ecosystem orchestration gains interest in Finnish business weekly
Thursday, February 26, 2009
The software industry faced a serious downturn in the beginning of 2000s. F –Secure, providing internet security services, managed to come out from the Internet crisis stronger than most other software companies.
Dr. Johan Wallin, managing partner of Synocus Group and Tomi Laamanen, Professor of Strategic Management at the Helsinki University of Technology have conducted an in-depth study of how different Internet security firms behaved during the crisis. The study shows that F-Secure was successful because instead of just cutting costs and focusing on internal matters it also actively networked with its partners, Internet service providers, and orchestrated its own ecosystem. This way F-Secure was strengthening its Security-as-a-Service concept. The new orchestrated business model has since then provided F-Secure with healthy growth and profitability.
The results from the study by Wallin and Laamanen were presented in February

Crisis management and orchestration
Monday, January 12, 2009
Synocus initiated in 2002 a research project together with Helsinki University of Technology on the handling of the Internet crisis. Three Finnish companies in the internet security industry were analyzed in depth until the end of 2006. This analysis revealed that one of them, F-Secure, came out of the crisis stronger than the other two. The analysis of how this happened shows that F-Secure was successful in orchestrating its own ecosystem. F-Secure developed unique capabilities for how to collaborate with its partners. The research resulted in a scientific article, Cognitive Dynamics of Capability Development Paths, co-authored by Professor Tomi Laamanen and Johan Wallin. This article has now been accepted for publication in Europe’s most prestigious management journal, Journal of Management Studies.

Emergent clusters will not be enough. Strong orchestrators are needed to speed up the development and create new concepts and business models that are adapted to today’s challenging world.
