ICT innovation and Corporate Strategy

Abstract

This paper presents the research perspectives from the macro viewpoint of "corporate boundary dynamics" and the micro viewpoint of "organizational capability" regarding corporate strategy adapted to the evolution of convergence in advanced ICT era. As a first point, convergence is the viewpoint of accelerating "Collaborative Innovation" of people, organizations, companies and industries, and raising the possibility of creating a new business ecosystem by dynamically restructuring corporate boundaries. And as an element to decide the corporate boundary, this paper presents that the elements of "creativity-view" and "dialectic-view" as "boundary conceptions" held by stakeholders are important. Secondly, this paper points out the importance of "Dynamic Capabilities (DC)" as an organizational capability adapted to environmental change called convergence. In this paper, DC will increase the possibility of creating new innovation through asset orchestration of internal and external assets toward dynamic reconstruction of corporate boundary, inducing perception and cognition of new environmental change.
