Conference abstract:
While IS research has explored how organizations manage digital innovation once new technologies are implemented, we know surprisingly little about how they initiate this process. This gap is critical because the initial pathways established during initiation profoundly shape subsequent technological configurations and organizational changes. Research on the role of history in this process is conflicting: one perspective suggests that accumulated experience enhances an organization’s capacity to frame and pursue innovation, while an alternative perspective argues that experience paradoxically constrains how organizations recognize new possibilities.
