The Sociomateriality of Competing Technological Regimes in Digital Innovation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper outlines a sociomaterial perspective recognizing the tensions between different technological regimes in digital innovation. It is based on an automotive industry case study, specifically focusing on the tension between a deep-rooted component-based logic of existing innovation practices and an attempt to introduce a new software architecture, based on service orientation. It is suggested that digital architectures have to emerge dialectically in the joint mangling of both regimes. This mangling is characterized by a threesome dance of physical material agency, digital material agency and human agency. Digital innovation is a result of a dialectical process, resolving various elements of resistance, subjection, and accommodation across these types of agency.
