Abstract

Digital innovation increasingly relies on large data pools, making navigating governance and regulatory compliance essential. This is crucial for leveraging data commons, which are shared data environments that enable multiple entities to access, share, and utilize data collaboratively within digital ecosystems. Previous research highlights the importance of data commons in fostering digital innovation. However, it often overlooks how governance practices and regulatory compliance affect digital ecosystems and fails to address how these challenges can limit resource utilization. Using a mixed-methods approach based on qualitative and quantitative data from digital ecosystems in highly regulated contexts, this study aims to identify and validate how and why key governance and regulatory compliance factors affect digital innovation outcomes in data commons. The findings are expected to provide actionable insights for organizations in highly regulated contexts looking to optimize digital innovation with shared data commons within digital ecosystems.

Leveraging the Commons: The Role of Governance and Regulatory Compliance for Digital Innovation in Data Commons
