摘要

摘要研究表明，数字技术通过实现与企业外部以及跨企业和行业边界的企业之间的新的相互依存关系，来刺激产业转型。然而，我们对有潜力改变行业的数字技术的新颖性和广度知之甚少。了解数字技术的新颖性（从激进到增量）和广度（从一个部门到多个部门）对于衡量其对产业转型的影响很重要。通过对瑞典公司的自动驾驶汽车技术专利进行主题建模研究，并对这些专利的发明人进行验证性调查，本文揭示了正在改变汽车行业的26个数字技术主题。数字技术主题分布在四个理想的典型转型技术类别中：增强、跨越、转型和颠覆。本研究说明了使用集成框架研究数字技术变革本质的价值；研究表明，汽车行业的数字技术主要具有增量特征，但这些特征为少数更激进的技术实现其在行业转型中的潜力提供了必要的先决条件。

Digital Transformation of the Automotive Industry: An Integrating Framework to Analyse Technological Novelty and Breadth

ABSTRACT Research demonstrates that digital technologies stimulate industrial transformation by enabling new interdependencies with firms outside and across firm and industry boundaries. However, we know little about the degree of novelty and breadth of digital technologies that have the potential to transform industries. Understanding the degree of novelty (spanning from radical to incremental) and breadth (spanning from one sector to multiple sectors) of digital technologies is important for measuring their impact on industrial transformation. Through a topic modelling research approach on autonomous vehicle technology patents from firms operating in Sweden and a confirmatory survey with the inventors of those patents, this paper reveals 26 digital technology topics that are transforming the automotive industry. The digital technology topics are distributed across four ideal-typical technology categories for transformation: augmenting, spanning, transforming, and disrupting. This study illustrates the value of studying digital technologies’ transformative nature using an integrating framework; it reveals that digital technologies in the automotive industry have mainly incremental characteristics but that these characteristics provide necessary preconditions for the few more radical technologies to achieve their potential in transforming the industry.

期刊介绍： Industry and Innovation is an international refereed journal presenting high-quality original scholarship of the dynamics of industries and innovation. Interdisciplinary in nature, Industry and Innovation is informed by, and contributes in turn to, advancing the theoretical frontier within economics, organization theory, and economic geography. Theoretical issues encompass: •What are the institutional underpinnings for different organizational forms? •How are different industrial structures and institutions related to innovation patterns and economic performance?
