DO OPEN INNOVATION AND DOMINANT DESIGN FOSTER DIGITAL INNOVATION?

The emergence of digital innovation in academia and practice has been established, and it is time to consider when and how it affects innovation performance. Before this background, we examine how innovation practices such as open innovation and dominant design impact innovation performance, particularly in the case of digital innovation. We develop a theoretical framework that is tested on a long panel of patent data for 788 technologies over 32 years. Open innovation has no impact on the innovative performance of technologies in general, but for digital innovation, we find a positive effect. In addition, dominant design has a stronger impact on the innovative performance for digital innovations than for other innovations. We conclude that the management of digital innovation is different from that of other innovations since both open innovation and dominant design are more important for innovative performance. Indeed, some of the benefits of openness may only apply to digital innovation.

When Decomposition Increases Complexity: How Decomposing Introduces New Information Into the Problem Space

Decomposition is a dominant design strategy because it enables complex problems to be broken up into more manageable modules. However, although it is well known that complex systems are rarely fully decomposable, much of the decomposition literature is framed around reordering or clustering processes that optimize an objective function to yield a module assignment. As illustrated in this study, these approaches overlook the fact that decoupling partially decomposeable modules can require significant additional design work, with associated consequences that introduce considerable information to the design space. This paper draws on detailed empirical evidence from a NASA space robotics field experiment to elaborate mechanisms through which the processes of decomposing can add information and associated descriptive complexity to the problem space. Contrary to widely held expectations, we show that complexity can increase substantially when natural system modules are fully decoupled from one another to support parallel design. We explain this phenomenon through two mechanisms: interface creation and functional allocation. These findings have implications for the ongoing discussion of optimal module identification as part of the decomposition process. We contend that the sometimes-significant costs of later stages of design decomposition are not adequately considered in existing methods. With this work we lay a foundation for valuing these performance, schedule and complexity costs earlier in the decomposition process.

Between Dissent and Consensus, Resistance and Counter-Resistance: Design Practice as a Common Project-Process for Plural Possibilities of Being and Becoming

This paper is a contribution to the discussion on the ethical and political limitations of institutionalised, dominant design practices and on the need to rethink the ways in which they operate. It points out that institutionalised design processes act as a dispositive of power that not only capture and colonise forms of life, but that also shape territories, bodies and languages through normative models that are exogenous to them. This discussion is crucial when thinking about the role that design has played in nurturing current crises. This paper is an inquiry into the possibility of design practice that is not institutionalised either by sovereign designing designers or by subordinated designed users, but that constitutes itself according to dynamics where design emerges as a common project-process of creative possibilities of being and becoming. Crucial aspects for a non-institutionalised design practice are identified through the analysis of a design experience with communities in Rio de Janeiro favelas. This paper shows how this design experience is based on a design approach that, through discursive structures, dynamically supports and is informed by dissent and consensus, and by the interplay between resistance and counter-resistance.

Managing creativity and innovation in the 4th industrial revolution: Learning from giants

This article highlights an idea of the importance of creativity and innovation in the face of a change that will inevitably occur in global competition, where technological sophistication is the main prerequisite to lead. The research relies on secondary data primarily from books, journals, published reports, online news, and others. This study observes business giants like Google as the best example of maximizing creativity and innovation in global competition and kitabisa.com as Indonesia's local social entrepreneurship pioneer. Then Nokia and Yahoo are examples of failure to implement creativity and innovation. From many theories, there are four theories to draw the relationship among creativity, innovation, and technology, namely: technology S-curve, punctuated equilibrium, dominant design, and absorptive capacity. However, many theories of creativity and innovation developed by scientists have their advantages and disadvantages. This study is expected to provide new insight for individuals, groups, practitioners, or stakeholders to overcome industrial revolution challenges.

The Dominant Design of Disruptive Innovations in the 3rd-Party Online Payment in China

As a disruptive innovation on the traditional payment mode, the 3rd-party online payment has been involved in disruptive innovations featuring contextualized and modernized characteristics, but a theoretical summary is urgently needed for the dominant design of these disruptive innovations. Therefore, an in-depth case study is done with Alipay and PayPal as the subject, and it comes to elaborate four key aspects involved in the dominant design of disruptive innovations of the 3rd-party online payment. Namely, adopt new innovative derivations, create new product attributes, construct new business models, and process subsequent performance improvements. In addition, the factors that differ from the traditional disruptive innovations are also spotted, including two innovative driving forces, two new product features, and four business modes.

Model Evaluasi Perencanaan Pembangunan di Sumatera Utara

The purpose of this study is the realization of the performance achievements of program plans and regional priority activities that have been targeted in the North Sumatra Province Regional Work Plan (RKPD) 2019. To evaluate public policies, it is necessary to measure the success of public programs and policies (effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy) Accuracy indicators are the most successful to be used in measuring the level of consistency. Meanwhile, the success of the Equity indicator is very difficult to measure, considering that the amount of the budget for programs and activities is not the same. The research design used in this study is a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches with a dominant-less dominant design model. The results of the data obtained were carried out using descriptive-analytical methods. The results of the study showed that by looking at some of the standards used to evaluate the results of the North Sumatra province's RKPD Implementation in 2019 it showed a very good value. Evaluation of the results of regional development plans aims to achieve conformity between regional development achievements and established performance indicators. The performance indicators in question are performance indicators determined at the national, provincial, and district/city levels. So far, the measurement used by BAPPEDA of North Sumatra Province in evaluating development planning is only based on budget realization.
