Business ecosystems can be formed with the contribution of stakeholders from countries with different conditions. In this research, we investigate how institutional voids and their management impact the spread of business ecosystems with developed market origins in emerging economies. We conduct our analysis on the screen reader ecosystems in Turkey, which characterise the assistive technology industry for the blind. In our abductive study with three screen reader dealers of US-based producers in Turkey, we find that the spread of ecosystems in emerging economies is determined by how ecosystem logics fit with the institutional conditions regardless of the home market dominance of ecosystems, and how different types of institutional voids are effectively addressed by local entrepreneurs.
