Cross-Case Analysis

Based on the empirical descriptive results of the four case studies, we relate our findings to the antecedents as described in Chap. 4 . Our cross-case analysis comprises of four sections. First, we analyse the antecedents as used in our research model. In addition, we compare the cross-case findings with the outcomes of our fsQCA analysis in Chap. 5 . Second, we discuss and show how we use Resource Orchestration Theory (ROT) as a theoretical lens to analyse and explain our findings. Third, we theorise on how enterprises may apply an ecosystem approach to orchestrate the studied antecedents in a coherent manner. Finally, we summarise our findings and provide cross-case study conclusions.
