By gaining a better understanding of how different architectural layers of digital technology interplay with digital innovation, we can be better prepared for managing the complex and messy processes that often arise when working with digital innovation. In this article, we therefore ask: How does the layered architecture of digital technology interplay with digital innovation processes? A case study approach was selected to studied events involving multiple actors in an innovation and development project called the Smart Lock project. The theoretical basis for our study is digital innovation from the perspective of knowledge exchange and relationships. A temporal bracketing strategy was used to support a process analysis of the case data. The article primarily contributes to the body of research concerning digital innovation and provides an example to practitioners of how digital innovation processes can be coordinated and managed based on the innovation at hand.}, keywords = {collaborative innovation, concept development, digital innovation, digital technology, innovation process}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1218}, url = {https://timreview.ca/article/1218}, author = {Jesper Lund and Esbj{\"o}rn Ebbesson} }
