How to Ensure the Success of a Technological Innovation
نویسنده
چکیده
The adoption of innovations based on information and communications technologies (ICT) produces three types of transformations in companies. First off, ICTs can reduce transaction costs, which include those of coordination, information, motivation, control and supervision. Technological innovations can also contribute to the development of new capabilities within the company. Furthermore, ICT-based innovations can aid in the development of more dynamic and flexible business structures. The PwC&IESE eBusiness Center has published a study led by Professor Sandra Sieber which analyzes the scope of each of these changes at twelve Spanish companies, all having successfully adopted ICT-based innovations.
