Abstract

Digital innovations (DIs) affect individuals, organisations, industries, and economies. However, the extant literature lacks an understanding of how DIs emerge and how they shape their environment in the very early, pre-emerging phase of a technology, where the technology can influence many industries. To understand the pre-emerging phase, we employ stage-based modelling by analysing rich qualitative data in the context of self-sovereign identity (SSI) technology. Our results identify the interoperability (i.e., the ability of multiple systems to interact with each other) requirement of DIs as a shaping factor of their emergence. Further, we propose a stage model that explains the emergence of SSI-facilitated DIs and an SSI innovation-fostering environment. The model consists of three qualitatively different stages with stage-specific salient questions, mechanisms, and outcomes. This work primarily contributes to the DI literature in the SSI context and has policy and practical implications for regulators and other practitioners.

芬兰自我主权认同出现前阶段数字创新的出现

数字创新（DIs）影响着个人、组织、行业和经济。然而，现有文献缺乏对DIs如何出现以及它们如何在技术出现前的早期阶段塑造其环境的理解，在这个阶段，技术可以影响许多行业。为了理解出现前的阶段，我们通过分析自我主权身份（SSI）技术背景下丰富的定性数据，采用基于阶段的建模。我们的结果确定了DIs的互操作性（即多个系统相互交互的能力）需求是其出现的形成因素。此外，我们提出了一个阶段模型来解释SSI促进的创新和SSI创新培育环境的出现。该模型由三个质量不同的阶段组成，具有特定阶段的突出问题、机制和结果。这项工作主要为SSI背景下的DI文献做出了贡献，并对监管机构和其他从业者具有政策和实际意义。

期刊介绍： Advances in information and communication technologies are associated with a wide and increasing range of social consequences, which are experienced by individuals, work groups, organizations, interorganizational networks, and societies at large. Information technologies are implicated in all industries and in public as well as private enterprises. Understanding the relationships between information technologies and social organization is an increasingly important and urgent social and scholarly concern in many disciplinary fields.Information and Organization seeks to publish original scholarly articles on the relationships between information technologies and social organization. It seeks a scholarly understanding that is based on empirical research and relevant theory.
