DESCRIPTION:Business ecosystem (BE) emerges as a quite popular terminology
  capturing many inspirational imaginations in both industry and academic w
 orlds in the last five years.  But\, for many operations management schola
 rs\, especially the people working in supply chain and value network areas
 \, business ecosystem might be just another buzz word or better analogy wi
 thout real deep insights and theoretical potential.  Is this true? This ta
 lk seeks to wrap up some interesting case studies conducted in CIM and to 
 demonstrate some differences between classical operations management theor
 ies and emerging business ecosystem focus.  The talk has three part: (1) i
 t very briefly reviews some PhD and research projects in the BE area in th
 e last five years\; (2) it tries to provide some thoughts for deeply under
 standing BE\; (3) it discusses the BE impacts on operations management and
  IfM.  The seminar hopes to attract more debates on business ecosystem in 
 IfM and to gain more suggestions from you for BE research and development.
