Ting Li is a PhD Candidate in the Digital Technology Group at Queen’s University, Canada. She also holds an MSc degree in Management Information Systems at the University of British Columbia. Ting has a strong interest in digital entrepreneurship research. Her thesis, designed in a 3-paper format, investigates how digital technologies can be leveraged effectively to promote entrepreneurial innovation. Using in-depth case studies of startups at different maturity stages, she finds that digital capabilities of startups significantly contribute to the entrepreneurial success, as well as the ability of these startups to co-create innovation with diverse stakeholders (e.g., investors, local communities, and universities) in shared entrepreneurial ecosystems. She also finds that entrepreneurship support systems such as business incubators increasingly serve as platform-enabled resource orchestrators to facilitate such co-creation. Her work has been accepted in the Journal of Strategic Information Systems, MIS Quarterly Executive, and top Information Systems conference proceedings (e.g., ICIS, AMCIS).

Abstract: The rapid growth of Instacart, a grocery delivery service, shows that innovative use of digital resources can create a market niche with lucrative returns. Versatile and easily accessible digital resources can revolutionize how established firms do business by developing new ways to cope with digital innovations and market turbulence. The Instacart case demonstrates how companies can orchestrate digital resources to navigate an evolving business landscape, value creation patterns and value capture challenges in a digital world, and provides five recommendations for orchestrating digital resources.

Abstract: In a digital world, information technology (IT) units routinely update their capabilities to cope with changing business requirements and frequent technology releases. Extending the dynamic capabilities literature, this article presents the concept of dynamic IT capability, a multidimensional first-order dynamic capability that enables IT units to assist firms in appropriating business value from IT resources by influencing a set of IT-related ordinary capabilities. Scholars currently lack a dynamic capabilities framework that explains, from an IT unit’s perspective, how IT resources can be acquired, deployed, integrated, and reconfigured to fulfill business objectives. To bridge this research gap, we develop a high-level framework that highlights three constituent components of dynamic IT capability: dynamic digital platform capability, dynamic IT management capability, and dynamic IT knowledge management capability. Through an extensive literature review, we identify and summarize the set of ordinary capabilities that each dynamic IT capability component creates and reconfigures. We then offer guidance on future instrument development. To encourage further exploration of this critical construct, we close by highlighting future avenues for dynamic IT capability research.
