What is the influence of software systems on an organization's
ability to create knowledge, learn, adapt to change and innovate?
While organization, management and innovation theory has primarily
focused on the impact of software on measures such as process
efficiency and speed, this book argues that integrated systems and
digital technologies offer even more fundamental implications for
the innovating firm. A series of detailed case studies provides the
foundations for a deeper theoretical and empirical understanding of
the nature and dynamics of software, knowledge, organization and
their complex interactions. The author demonstrates how software
induces the radical reconfiguration of organizational knowledge and
learning dynamics, including an organization's ability to create,
store, transfer and integrate knowledge across heterogeneous
organizational boundaries. The book provides a unique perspective
on what organizations know and how they use that knowledge to
build, sustain and renew their capabilities. This includes
understanding how information systems can be designed or
implemented in such a way as to favour innovation and adaptation,
and to prevent unfavourable patterns of behaviour. The book
represents an in-depth and systematic attempt to characterize the
fundamental influence of software over the processes that underpin
an organization's ability to create and manage knowledge. Scholars
and students interested in innovation, technological change and
information technology, and managers in software and other hi-tech
industries will find this an insightful and highly rewarding study.
