Richard Baskerville of Georgia State University & Curtin University will present a seminar to the Department of Management Science

Abstract: The adoption of a platform presents innovators with a situation in which innovation occurs within the confines of resources and services available from the platform. This bounded-creativity setting limits on design possibilities; forcing designers to engage in a more intensive kind of creativity: creating innovative products that nevertheless operate as platform components.
