    Digital Transformation and Innovation Management: A Synthesis of Existing Research and an Agenda for Future Studies

    No full text
    Management and organizational scholars have paid increasing attention to the interconnections between digital transformation and innovation management in the last decade. However, a highly fragmented understanding of this topic is what we are left with so far. In this editorial, we suggest an approach to open up the black box of the interplay between digital transformation and innovation management by providing a framework that identifies three levels of analyisis (i.e., macro, meso, and micro) along which existing and future research on the topic can be organized. This model encourages scholars to conduct theoretical and empirical studies on how digital transformation affects ecosystems’ structure and governance, how industries and firms compete and organize for innovation in a digitalized world, how the processes for developing new products and services change under the effect of digital technologies, and the implications of digital transformation on managing people and teams involved in the innovation process, among the other topics. We also provide a synthesis of the eight papers published in the Special Issue that this editorial introduces and develop an agenda for future research that will hopefully contribute to encourage and shape future scholarly efforts into this field

    The strategic, organizational, and entrepreneurial evolution of smart cities

    This present editorial illustrates the recent evolution of strategy, organization and entrepreneurship in smart city. Referring to strategy, integrated smart city strategies aim to connect the physical space of cities with the economic and social sphere – a connection that although clearly existing, has always been troublesome for scientists and policy makers. Referring to organization, the interplay between theorizing and researching in the context of smart cities and will offer an improved understanding of how organization theories apply to complex ICT-related urban transformations and the societal challenge of enabling smart city development. Referring to entrepreneurship, a synchronization among the actors is necessary to make entrepreneurial activities flourishing and conducive of a ‘smarter’ smartification of cities. The editorial ends by providing a short summary of the six articles included in the special issue

    How does artificial intelligence enable and enhance value co-creation in industrial markets? An exploratory case study in the healthcare ecosystem

    No full text
    The technological revolution brought about from the digital transformation is dramatically reshaping how firms co-create value in B2B industrial markets. Among the many forms digital technologies can take, artificial intelligence is having the strongest pervasive impact. Relying upon empirical evidence stemming from a case study in the healthcare industry, our research aims at understanding how different types of artificial intelligence-based solutions support firms in co-creating value in B2B industrial markets. We advance an integrative framework having two iterative loops. The first iterative loop connects the technology service providers with the healthcare customers, showing how artificial intelligence-based customer-centric solutions are co-created through perceptive and responsive mechanisms; the second iterative loop connects the healthcare customers with the patients, enhancing operational practices through users’ knowledge and resulting in better care and improved patient journey. Implications for theory and practice are discussed and ideas for future research are presented
