Abstract
Purpose: This paper explores the orchestration of digital innovation in Industry 4.0 organisations. Design/methodology/approach: The study applies the activity theory to explorative multiple case studies. Observations of innovation activities in five business cases take place at two large international organisations. Findings: The results underline five logics of action that drive digital innovation: (1) digital transformation, (2) technology translation, (3) catalyst agents, (4) digital thread and (5) empowerment. Further, the case study organisations highlight the importance of developing a sustainable culture capable of continuously adopting new technologies, processes and infrastructure that will allow the management of digital innovations. Originality/value: The study empirically shows the motivations and challenges in orchestrating digital innovation in Industry 4.0 organisations.
