Over the past decade or so, systems integration has become a key
factor in the operations, strategy and competitive advantage of
major corporations in a wide variety of sectors (e.g. computing,
automotive, telecommunications, military systems and aerospace).
Systems integration is a strategic task that pervades business
management not only at the technical level but also at the
management and strategic levels. This book shows how and why this
new kind of systems integration has evolved into an emerging model
of industrial organization whereby firms, and groups of firms, join
together different types of knowledge, skill and activity, as well
as hardware, software, and human resources to produce new products
for the marketplace. This book is the first to systematically
explore systems integration from a business and innovation
perspective. Contributors delve deeply into the nature, dimensions
and dynamics of the new systems integration, deploying research and
analytical techniques from a wide variety of disciplines including,
the theory of the firm, the history of technology, industrial
organization, regional studies, strategic management, and
innovation studies. This wealth of research capability provides
deep insights into the new model of systems integration and
supports this with an abundance of empirical evidence. The book is
organized in three main parts. The first part focuses on the
history of systems integration. Contributors trace the early
history of systems integration using different industrial examples.
The second part presents theoretical and analytical aspects of
systems integration. Contributions concentrate on the regulatory
and cognitive features of systems integration, the relationships
between systems integration and regional competitive advantage, and
the way in which systems integration supports the competitive
advantage of firms. The third part takes industry and firm-level
approaches. Contributions focus on different sectors and highlight
the specificity of systems integration in various industrial
domains, stressing its importance for systems integration in the
case of complex capital goods, such as aircraft and
telecommunications equipment, as well as consumer goods, such as
personal computers and automobiles.
