Produktbeschreibung
This wealth of research capability provides deep insights into the new model of systems integration and supports this with an abundance of empirical evidence. The book is organized in three main parts. The first part focuses on the history of systems integration. Contributors trace the early history of systems integration using different industrial examples. The second part presents theoretical and analytical aspects of systems integration. Contributions concentrate on the regulatory and cognitive features of systems integration, the relationships between systems integration and regional competitive advantage, and the way in which systems integration supports the competitive advantage of firms. The third part takes industry and firm-level approaches. Contributions focus on different sectors and highlight the specificity of systems integration in various industrial domains, stressing its importance for systems integration in the case of complex capital goods, such as aircraft and telecommunications equipment, as well as consumer goods, such as personal computers and automobiles.
In the last twenty years, systems integration has become a key factor in the operations, strategy, and competitive advantage of major corporations in a wide variety of sectors. 'Systems Integration' refers to an emerging model of industrial organization whereby firms and groups of firms combine different types of knowledge, skills, and activities, as well as hardware, software, and human resources to produce new products for the marketplace. The transition towardsthe systems integration model has fundamental implications for the capabilities of firms. This is the first book to systematically explore systems integration from a business and innovation perspective, with contributions from leading international scholars.
