Platform Openness: A Systematic Literature Review and Avenues for Future Research
Open platforms such as Facebook or Android have stimulated innovation and competition across industries. Information systems literature has analyzed platforms from a variety of perspectives. The aim of this paper is to synthesize and integrate extant interdisciplinary research on the concept of platform openness. Towards this end, we conducted a literature review and analyzed the results with deductive and inductive coding approaches. We identified five distinct themes: measurement frameworks, implementation mechanisms, drivers for opening and closing platforms, trade-offs in designing openness, and the impact of changing openness on ecosystems. We propose three avenues for future research: finding the optimal degree of platform openness, integrating perspectives on accessibility and transparency, and analyzing the influence of openness and other factors with configurational theories. This paper contributes to research on platforms by laying out the main themes and perspectives in the research stream of platform openness and by identifying areas for future research
Towards a Conceptualization of Capabilities for Innovating Business Models in the Industrial Internet of Things
The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies offers promising value potentials for industrial manufacturers based on the combination of smart products and data-driven services. At the same time, many incumbent firms experience a threat to their traditional value proposition and are challenged to innovate and reconfigure their existing business models. However, many of these traditional manufacturers lack or are unaware of the required capabilities for successfully reinventing their business model using IoT technologies. We therefore adopt the lens of dynamic and operational capabilities and conduct an empirical analysis of organizational capabilities required for successful IoT-enabled business model innovation (BMI). Through an exploratory, qualitative study based on interviews with decision makers in industrial manufacturing companies and experts in practice-oriented research institutions, we identify eleven distinct dynamic and operational capabilities. Our findings provide useful insights for research and practice and advance the understanding of enablers in IoT-enabled BMI
The Influence of Digital Affordances and Generativity on Digital Platform Leadership
The increasing importance of digital platforms is undisputed. Digital platforms integrate and orchestrate an ecosystem of autonomous actors to co-create value instead of relying solely on internal innovation capabilities. To achieve this, the platform owner provides digital affordances through boundary resources that an ecosystem of complementors can use to create value-adding services. The platform combines internal innovation capabilities by providing digital affordances and utilizes external innovation capabilities between complementors that refer to the generativity of the ecosystem. However, it remains unclear how the provision of affordances and the interaction of complementors led to the tremendous success of digital platforms. To disentangle both internal and external innovation capabilities, we adhere to a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis based on a set of 47 platforms. Preliminary results reveal four configurations of leading platforms that combine affordances of the platform and generativity in an ecosystem to point toward a fruitful area for future research
Striving for Global Optima in Digital Transformation: A Paradox Theory Approach
Inherent properties of digital technologies offer promising possibilities such as rapid scalability and exponential growth. However, we observe that firms pursuing digital transformation (DT) initiatives face difficulties in realizing these benefits, as they face competing organizational demands (tensions) in the DT context. By considering digital technologiesâ unique properties and adopting a paradox theory lens, we conducted a qualitative study with 28 interviewees across three companies from which we derive six drivers of tensions and three novel paradoxical tensions within the DT context. We show how these drivers and tensions lead to firms pursuing short-term successes at the cost of strategic benefits that DT offers (what we call âlocalâ instead of âglobalâ optima). We provide scholars and practitioners with a fundamental understanding of how digital technologies define challenges in the DT process so that firms can proactively structure DT initiatives to reach global optima
The Generic Ecosystem and Innovation Patterns of the Digital Transformation in the Financial Industry
The emergence of financial technology companies (Fintechs) through the easy access of digital technologies is transforming the entire financial industry, heralding a new era of business models. With digital technologies like mobile payments, robo advisors, and distributed ledgers or blockchain, Fintechs are challenging the prevailing position of traditional financial institutions. However, literature does not provide a structured overview of the digital transformation in the financial industry, including inter- organizational innovation patterns. By analyzing 792 Fintechs, this paper visualizes the 22 generic roles and value streams within the financial ecosystem using the e3- value method. Moreover, we identify and discuss seven inter-organizational innovation patterns of the digital transformation in the financial industry. We contribute to literature by examining digital transformation in the financial industry from an inter- organizational perspective. Practitioners may apply the model to position themselves and to identify disruptive actors or potential business opportunities. We also analyze the influence of blockchain technology

Reducing Socio-Technical Inertia During Digital Transformation - The Role of Dynamic Capabilities
Digital transformation promises various benefits for established companies such as increased revenue and competitiveness. However, a high number of digital transformation projects fail because companies are unable to adapt to changes induced through digital technologies. Socio-technical (ST) inertia plays a decisive role in the success or failure of these projects. Extant research proposes that dynamic capabilities can be used to effectively reduce ST inertia in DT projects. To further explore this proposition, I conducted a case survey on a set of DT case studies and apply fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis on the results. This approach allows me to identify patterns of interactions between dynamic capabilities of a firm and its transformation project design that lead to the reduction of ST inertia. Preliminary results show that reconfiguration and, to some degree, sensing capabilities have a positive influence on the reduction of ST inertia. Seizing capabilities neither have a positive nor a negative impact. Furthermore, my findings show that ST inertia is also reduced through highly participative, centralized approaches
Combining the Case Survey Method and Qualitative Comparative Analysis for Information Systems Research
The case survey method and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) are two well-established research approaches in a number of research disciplines. They have recently made their way into information systems (IS) research. The case survey method is aimed at comparing previously published case studies, conventionally, using various statistical analysis methods. In turn, QCA relies on set theory, which allows deriving different configurations based on qualitative data corresponding to cases translated into set membership. Several authors have started to combine these two methods. However, so far there is no formalized approach on how to combine them. In this paper, we present a formalized approach to integrate the two methods and demonstrate how this approach can be used to resolve several limitations intrinsic to these methods when being employed on their own. We furthermore discuss the potential of applying our approach for IS research and discuss the proposed approachâs limitations
Toward a Taxonomy of Digital Transformation Initiatives
In almost every industry, firms launch digital transformation (DT) initiatives. However, not all of these initiatives have been successful. Despite its growing popularity in both research and industry, the term DT is used in a fragmented manner and ambiguity exists concerning the organizational characteristics of DT initiatives. While both academic and industry-oriented outlets have published a wide array of articles on DT initiatives, they are not comprehensive and have been published to satisfy different purposes. We argue that building a taxonomy of DT initiatives based on empirical cases will yield multiple benefits, such as providing a uniform categorization scheme for DT case studies that can be used to structure future field research. For this purpose, we follow an adapted version of the common taxonomy construction methodology. As a first step toward this goal, we have conducted case studies of DT initiatives of companies from different industries. We then applied the taxonomy building methodology to derive a working taxonomy of DT initiatives based on comprehensive, in-depth analysis. With our research, we aim to investigate a variety of DT initiatives. The resulting taxonomy can be used by practitioners to assess and compare their own DT initiatives and by researchers as a conceptual basis for future research projects on DT
Pathways to Successful Business Model Innovation in the Context of Digital Transformation
The process of digital transformation (DT) is driving established companies to innovatively modify existing business models. However, extant research provides very little insight into the determinative factors that contribute to successful business model innovation (BMI) in the context of DT. In this analysis, we draw on a resource-based view (RBV) by analyzing firmsâ dynamic and information technology (IT) capabilities by applying a configurational perspective to explore how companies can successfully transform their business models. To do so, we collected data of 15 established companies and employed fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to derive the specific configurations that ultimately lead to success. We extend existing research on BMI in the context of DT and provide new insights regarding the combination of IT and dynamic capabilities
