Digital product innovation within four classes of innovation networks (2016, background): “…on the four innovation network archetypes presented earlier, we next identify ﬁ ve requirements for information infrastructures that can promote and sustain digital product innovation in settings with increasing levels of digital connectivity and digital convergence (Hanseth & Lyytinen, 2010).”
Introduction - Platforms and Infrastructures in the Digital Age (2018, background): “…installed base of infrastructures and platforms, respectively, avoiding the “bootstrap problem” faced by early infrastructures (Hanseth and Aanestad 2003, Hanseth and Lyytinen 2010), as well as the “chicken-and-egg problem” of early digital platforms (Hagiu and Eisenmann 2007, Parker et al. 2016).”
Research Commentary - Digital Infrastructures: The Missing IS Research Agenda (2010, methodology): “The paradoxical nature of change follows directly from our characterization of digital infrastructures as unbounded, evolving, shared, heterogeneous, and open installed bases of capabilities (Hanseth and Lyytinen 2010).”
Strategizing information systems-enabled organizational transformation: A transdisciplinary review and new directions (2012, background): “These sociotechnical trends – including recursivity as illustrated by mashups and Service Oriented Architectures – are real for young organizations (Hanseth and Lyytinen, 2011).”
Digital Innovation Management: Reinventing Innovation Management Research in a Digital World (2017, background): “Most digital designs remain somewhat incomplete and in a state of flux where both the scale and scope of the innovation can be expanded by various participating innovation actors (Hanseth and Lyytinen 2010; Lyytinen et al. 2016).”
Blockchain Governance—A New Way of Organizing Collaborations? (2020, neutral): “2010)—with an increasingly prevalent use of the internet, electronic data interchange (EDI) networks, and electronicmarkets (Hanseth and Lyytinen 2010)—IT has been highly prominent in the scholarly debate around organizational arrangements and has evolved to become “one of the threads fromwhich the ”
Managing technological change in the digital age: the role of architectural frames (2014, background): “As the digitization of products presents new opportunities for innovation in long-established industries such as automotive, telecom, media, consumer electronics, and publishing (Lucas and Goh, 2009; Hanseth and Lyytinen, 2010; Tilson et al., 2010; Lee and Berente, 2012; Henfridsson and Bygstad, 201”
Digital platforms for development: Foundations and research agenda (2021, background): “In their study of the internet as an information infrastructure, Hanseth and Lyytinen (2016) position applications, platforms and infrastructures as different ‘ units of IT design classes ’ with increasing orders of complexity in architectural design and governance.”
Distributed Tuning of Boundary Resources: The Case of Apple's iOS Service System (2015, background): “The second view, which we refer to as the infrastructure view, notes the growing scale and scope of digital infrastructure that enable various forms of service in service systems (Benkler 2006; Hanseth and Lyytinen 2010; Hanseth et al. 1996; Tilson et al. 2010).”
The digital platform: a research agenda (2018, background): “The inherent complexity of digital platform dynamics implies that they exhibit emergent behaviour (Hanseth and Lyytinen, 2010).”
