Innovation Based Ecosystems
New buzz words like ‘innovation ecosystems’ often symbolize a departure from a legacy system to a more modern system and an underlying shift focus from operations management to service delivery with better user experience, reduce operational cost, minimize disruption, and enable personnel to do more with less. This issue of the Journal of Cyber Security & Information Systems explores how managing fast adoption modern-based system has more to do with understanding capabilities, interdependency between systems and effectively operating in the new paradigm than it has to do with differentiating product features. The link between the effective use of new integrated cyber capabilities and culture change is critical for executive managers to understand – as Peter Drucker said, “culture eats strategy”. Emerging technology-based ecosystem are enabling technologies that not only improve government warfighting capabilities, but can assist decision makers and users to better understand challenges being faced in the modernization and securing of increasingly software-enabled components and systems.
