Digital innovation introduces a new open-ended value landscape to anyone seeking to generate or capture new value. To understand this landscape, we distinguish between design recombination and use recombination, explore how they play out together, and redirect the attention from products and services toward digital resources. Digital resources serve as building-blocks in digital innovation, and they hold the potential to simultaneously be part of multiple value paths, offered through design recombination and assembled through use recombination. Building on this perspective, we offer the value spaces framework as a tool for better understanding value creation and capture in digital innovation. We illustrate the framework and offer the early contours of a research agenda for information systems researchers.

- Digital transformation: Five recommendations for the digitally conscious firm (2020, positive): “Recent research (e.g., Henfridsson; Nandhakumar; Scarbrough, & Panourgias, 2018; Nambisan, 2017) has high-lighted how the unique properties of digital technology enable new types of innovation and entrepreneurship that are different from the analog processes of the industrial era.”
- Digital technologies, innovation, and skills: emerging trajectories and challenges (2021, background): “Because their underlying “raw material” is processed data, they can be combined and recombined in ways that enable new applications, which can create new value (Henfridsson et al., 2018).”
