TY - JOUR T1 - Understanding Digital Innovation from a Layered Architectural Perspective JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2019 A1 - Jesper Lund A1 - Esbjörn Ebbesson KW - collaborative innovation KW - concept development KW - digital innovation KW - digital technology KW - innovation process AB - Managing successful digital innovation processes is a challenging task, especially when it involves heterogeneous actors with different sets of knowledge. 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.

His research interest is primarily focused on user-centered and collaborative digital design and innovation. This includes areas such as user studies, design, and evaluation of digital products and services. Most of his studies have been focusing on open and user-centered digital innovation processes within the newspaper and the health technology industries. He is currently engaged in research concerning digital innovation connected to smart cities and communities. His research has been published in a wide array of conferences and journals within the fields of information systems, human-computer interaction, and open and user-driven innovation. U2 - Halmstad University Esbjörn Ebbesson is a Lecturer in Informatics at Halmstad University in Sweden. Most of his research has revolved around collaborative or participatory design of digital services within the e-health or news industry sectors. His research has focused on distributed and face-to-face collaborative design processes, but also on understanding the underlying mechanics of the digital platforms that act as the foundation for the digital services that have been designed. He is currently engaged in research concerning digital services as a support for healthier lifestyles in the intersection of sport psychology and informatics. His research has been published in a wide array of conferences within the fields of information systems and human-computer interaction. ER -
