Chapter Chapter 2 in Digital Futures, Digital Transformation, 2016, pp 11-29 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter takes a long term perspective for the use of IT artifacts in companies and organizations. It analyses the semantical shift in the use of digital artifacts, from IT to IS to digitality. It also reviews how IT use has been integrated in the organizational design and the specific role of “organizational fit”. The chapter also reviews three major international programs which developed a historical perspective for the use of IT: the US program (Harvard), the Japanese program (supported by METI) and the French program, as supported by CIGREF. Finally, the chapter justifies how the concept of use, control and innovation are now shifting from companies towards the whole society, and the specific role of social media as new spaces for innovation and appropriation of IT artifacts.
