Institutional Logics of Digital Innovation
Project Description
Digital technologies are ubiquitous (Lyytinen et al. 2004), they permeate virtually every aspect of organizational life (Zammuto et al. 2007) and are imperative for organizational innovation (Yoo et al. 2012). It is in the core of the Information Systems (IS) discipline to study the novel organizational application of digital technologies1. IS scholars typically investigate the diffusion and assimilation of digital technology and provide insights to differences in the adoption behavior across organizations and across technologies (Sidorova et al. 2008). These core interests in the field reflect a deep concern with the identification of preconditions and resources that help organizations innovate with digital technologies (see Fichman 2004). IS scholars explore relevant factors related to technologies and the diffusion context, organizations and adoption context, or the interrelation of technology and organization (Fichman 2000). These studies represent a rich body of knowledge that focuses on IT departments and IT experts as key actors in the adoption of new technologies (Fuller and Swanson 1992; Swanson 1994).
Relevance to Liechtenstein
