Reflections on digital innovation

Abstract

The paper by Henfridsson et al. opens up a new agenda for IS research on the content and process of digital innovation. The crucial element in their perspective is the role of recombination in innovation. They supplement an emphasis on design recombination with a symmetrical emphasis on use recombination. While supporting Henfridsson et al.'s overall argument, I point out how central parts overlap with and are extended in disciplines outside IS research.
