*Brief Introduction*


Digital innovation is a research area of great interest to the information
systems field. Firms increasingly invest in various digital technologies to
create new knowledge, new products, new services and new business models,
through collaboration in the networks of suppliers, customers, competitors,
and universities, etc. Whereas the link of digital resources and innovation
performance has been recently validated, firms vary in their digital
innovation processes and we know little about these heterogeneous
processes. This track calls for qualitative or quantitative research with
different methodologies to unveil firms’ capabilities and processes to
create digital innovation.



*Topics*

ideas and knowledge (e.g., knowledge production, and crowdsourcing of
