Sumario:This paper investigates the intricate interplay between societal and political dimensions within organizational ecosystems and their impact on innovation dynamics. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives from organizational theory, innovation studies, and political science, the paper explores how organizations encompass complex societal and political landscapes to foster innovation and sustain competitive advantage. The ecosystem is a multi-faceted socio-political space wherein organizations interact with diverse stakeholders, including governments, regulatory bodies, communities, and civil society organizations. By integrating insights from both organizational and political levels of analysis, the mechanisms through which societal and political factors influence organizational innovation strategies, processes, and outcomes are explored.
