Abstract (De)
Digital innovation outcomes are calling traditional project settings and respective processes into question, influenced by software engineering, start-up thinking and design perspective. The challenge incumbent firms face today is how to speed up time to market for digital innovation outcomes due to the rapid speed of technology evolvement. Therefore, we aim at deepening the understanding of how successful digital innovation projects are structured in terms of six dimensions (subject, object, tools, rules, community, division of labor). To do so, we draw on activity theory to analyze nine projects of incumbent firms in the business-to-employee context regarding their way of organizing innovation work in the digital age. Based on our qualitative case analysis, we provide a set of requirements within the six dimensions based on activity theory that are needed to reshape the structure of innovation projects with a digital outcome in incumbent firms.
