The interactions between developers and users are a vital driver of complementary innovation and further facilitate theemergence and evolution of digital innovation ecosystems. However, these interactions are somewhat overlooked in researchon digital innovation ecosystems. To increase the understanding of their interrelationship, firstly, we explain the foundationof value co-creation between developers and users by introducing service-dominant logic (S-D logic). Then, we analyzethe coordination mechanism of their value co-creation using an evolutionary game approach. There are three key findingsobtained: First, the underlying logic behind their value co-creation is mutual benefit, and the coordination mechanismelaborates how they select participation strategies by carefully weighing benefits against costs. Second, their engagementbehavior is influenced by each other, and their initial choices also determine the evolution outcome of the behavior undercertain circumstance. Third, the involvement of developers and users is impacted by similar benefits and costs, such asadditional benefits of adopting the active strategy unilaterally, free-riding benefits, additional costs of positive participation,and benefits of ecosystem synergy. However, factors related to platform owners, the loss caused by punishment due to passiveparticipation and the benefits from being featured due to active participation, only affect developers’ strategy choicesdirectly. Finally, we discuss managerial implications of our findings.
