Emergence of collective digital innovations through the process of control point driven network reconfiguration and reframing: the case of mobile payment

Decentralized digital technologies require multiple organizations to collectively create digital innovations. Control over the resources required for digital innovations is often therefore dispersed among multiple actors. Actors may have conflicting interests and business models which cause collective digital innovations to come to a...

Digital Trade Infrastructures: A Framework for Analysis

The anatomy of digital trade infrastructures

In global supply chains information about transactions resides in fragmented pockets within business and government systems. The introduction of digital trade infrastructures (DTI) that transcend organizational and systems domains is driven by the prospect of reducing this information fragmentation, thereby enabling improved security and...

Overcoming blockages to collective innovation in digital infrastructures: The case of mobile payment

Decentralized digital technologies increasingly enable multiple organizations to co-create digital infrastructures. However, collective innovation processes often come to a stand-still because of conflicting interests and business models. While existing research suggests various factors that block collective innovation processes, there is still...
