This paper explores the system dynamics of the largest European aerospace manufacturer’s supply chain. We conceptualise a manufacturing ecosystem by observing the impacts of supplier development, digital platforms, smart contracting, and Industry 4.0 on demand-driven collaborations in time. We contribute to the literature on ecosystem strategy, particularly for regulated industries, by disclosing the role of demand-driven collaborations in supporting the ecosystems’ growth. We provide manufacturing firms with an open-access tool to exemplify their ecosystem development and produce initial training datasets for AI/ML algorithms, supporting further analytics.endemand-driven collaborationSMEsystem dynamicsmanufacturing ecosystemaerospace industry 4.0articleArticle
