| Tiivistelmä: | Historical analysis broadens the understanding of processes by which information technology is introduced into organizations and of the forces that shape its use. Events called "creative destruction" change entire organizations and industries. The end product of a Schumpeterian process is a "dominant design", a new configuration of an organization's technology, strategy and structure. It is manifested in several ways: a new organizational infrastructure, new functionality, new products, new services, new production functions, or new cost structures. By changing the basis of competition in the industry a firm that institutes a dominant design secures an initial competitive edge. The information systems research contains very few examples of historical analyses of this type. |
