Digital innovation introduces a new open-ended value landscape to anyone seeking to generate or capture new value. To understand this landscape, we distinguish between design recombination and use recombination, explore how they play out together, and redirect the attention from products and services toward digital resources. Digital resources serve as building-blocks in digital innovation, and they hold the potential to simultaneously be part of multiple value paths, offered through design recombination and assembled through use recombination. Building on this perspective, we offer the value spaces framework as a tool for better understanding value creation and capture in digital innovation. We illustrate the framework and offer the early contours of a research agenda for information systems researchers.

数字创新为寻求产生或捕捉新价值的任何人引入了一种新的开放式价值格局。为了了解这种情况，我们在设计重组和使用重组之间进行区分，探索它们如何一起发挥作用，并将注意力从产品和服务转向数字资源。数字资源是数字创新的基础，它们具有同时成为多种价值途径的一部分的潜力，这可以通过设计重组来提供，也可以通过使用重组来组装。基于此观点，我们提供了价值空间框架，作为更好地了解数字创新中价值创造和获取的工具。我们说明了框架，并为信息系统研究人员提供了研究议程的早期轮廓。
