Increasing societal interest towards sustainable and low-carbon materials contributes to demand for wood-based materials and modern solutions for urban construction. Wooden multi-storey construction (WMC), however, is a relatively new phenomenon in the construction business, and collaborative business models in projects that adopt such novel building techniques are yet to develop. Shared logic is a key concept shaping the development of well-functioning business ecosystems, even though actor priorities may vary between the WMC business ecosystem members. This study examines the applicability of business ecosystem concept based on actor perception involved in three Finnish WMC projects. The results suggest that elements from the business ecosystem thinking can be identified in all the cases. Moreover, network collaboration created benefits to the ecosystem, such as reference value and new insights from research and development. For some companies, engagement in the business ecosystem created financial and employment benefits, while some interviewees perceived these projects also to create immaterial value, such as awareness on sustainability issues in their business, marketing gains, or in the form of mutual learning effects.

社会对可持续性和低碳材料的兴趣日益增长，这促使人们对木质材料和城市建设现代解决方案的需求增加。然而，木制多层建筑（WMC）在建筑业中是一个相对较新的现象，采用这种新颖建筑技术的项目中的协同业务模型尚待开发。共享逻辑是塑造运作良好的业务生态系统发展的关键概念，即使参与者的优先级在WMC业务生态系统成员之间可能有所不同。这项研究基于参与三个芬兰WMC项目的参与者感知，研究了业务生态系统概念的适用性。结果表明，在所有情况下都可以识别出业务生态系统思维中的要素。此外，网络协作为生态系统带来了好处，例如参考价值和来自研发的新见解。对于一些公司而言，参与商业生态系统可以创造财务和就业利益，而一些受访者认为这些项目还可以创造非物质价值，例如对业务中的可持续性问题的认识，市场收益或相互学习的效果。
