An analysis of the digital innovation incentive effect of chief information officers from the perspective of open innovation
Exploring the digital innovation incentive effect of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) from an open innovation perspective holds significant theoretical and practical implications for formulating innovation policies and achieving effective innovation management. Based on the three-dimensional representation of the information role effect, this study established a theoretical analytical framework for CIOs' digital innovation incentives within an open innovation context. Using the propensity score matching method to construct the enterprise-level panel data from 2015 to 2022, a multi-period difference-in-differences model was employed to test the incentive effects of CIOs on digital innovation. The results indicated that under the influence of the information role effect, the establishment of a CIO significantly and positively incentivizes corporate digital innovation, enhancing the output of digital patents. Public digital governance, characterized by improved e-government capabilities and public digital awareness, along with corporate digital governance centered on digital infrastructure, strengthens the information role effect and moderates the digital innovation incentive effect of CIOs. The heterogeneity analysis revealed that the incentive effect is more pronounced in regions with established big data platforms and in enterprises categorized as high-tech industries. This study has expanded the theoretical research on corporate digital innovation from an information management perspective, enriched the understanding of the CIO's role, and uncovered critical antecedents influencing corporate digital innovation. It will provide valuable empirical evidence for the development of digital government initiatives and corporate digital transformation in China.

Rapid and pervasive digitization of innovation processes and outcomes has upended extant theories on innovation management by calling into question fundamental assumptions about the definitional boundaries for innovation, agency for innovation, and the relationship between innovation processes and outcomes. There is a critical need for novel theorizing on digital innovation management that does not rely on such assumptions and draws on the rich and rapidly emerging research on digital technologies. We offer suggestions for such theorizing in the form of four new theorizing logics, or elements, that are likely to be valuable in constructing more accurate explanations of innovation processes and outcomes in an increasingly digital world. These logics can open new avenues for researchers to contribute to this important area. Our suggestions in this paper, coupled with the six research notes included in the special issue on digital innovation management, seek to offer a broader foundation for reinventing innovation management research in a digital world.

In this study, we explore the role of Chief Digital Officer (CDO) through the perspectives of CDOs in thirty-five organizations. In enacting their emerging role, CDOs must navigate the existing institutionalized context of established information technology (IT) roles and respective jurisdictional claims. We find that CDOs intentionally draw on the term “digital” to distance themselves from existing executive roles in order to gain legitimacy. CDOs as institutional entrepreneurs take a focal role in both: (1) articulating and developing the emerging “digital” logic of action and (2) enacting this digital logic through strategies such as grafting, bridging, and decoupling to navigate tensions between the existing and emerging approaches to innovation with digital technologies.
