Theoretical analysis uncovers three core traits of digital innovation in organizations, highlighting new research avenues for organizational scholarship.

Key Points

To analyze how pervasive digital technologies alter organizational innovation and identify strategic implications for future organization science scholarship.
Conducted a theoretical analysis evaluating the core properties of digital technologies, specifically reprogrammability and data homogenization.
Synthesized findings across six conceptual and empirical studies focused on organizational adaptation and innovation in digital contexts.
Demonstrated that reprogrammability and data homogenization generate open, flexible affordances characterized by convergence and generativity.
Identified three defining traits of digital innovation: reliance on digital platforms, emergence of distributed innovation, and prevalence of combinatorial innovation.
Established an agenda for organization science to investigate shifting boundaries, novel organizational forms, and dynamic value creation in digitized environments.
