Analysing the Dynamics of IT Innovations Development:the Case of Portals in the Automotive Industry
Since the 1960s, the development of IT innovations-from simple accounting systems to more complex management information systems in the 80s, to e-commerce applications in the 90s and web services and technologies in the new millennium-have redefined not only the way organizations co-ordinate their internal activities and business processes, but also the way they manage their external relations with their customers and suppliers.One such IT innovation are portals. They are defined as interlinked electronic platforms with a single point-of-entry that enable collaboration within and between organizations through access to different organizational information systems. The objective of the paper is to analyze the socio-technical dynamics that shaped the development of a portal in the automotive industry. The paper explores the dynamics to be observed during the development process, combining economic, technical and sociological perspectives.
