Abstract (ENG): We address how organizational reconfiguration and external knowledge leverage is related to a firms knowledge recombination ability and digital innovation success. To develop digital innovation, firms tap a variety of heterogeneous backgrounds to exploit the ease with which different knowledge fields can be represented as digital artifacts. We conceptualize that firms need to be aware of a fluid and dynamic recombination space that faces frequent adaptions and great time pressures incurred by customer demand. Therefore, the actors involved in the development process come from different sources from within and without the firm as the inclusion of digital technology challenges previously non-digital organizational innovation logics. We further theo-rize that a climate conducive to collaboration within the recombination space motivates all ac-tors to engage in knowledge recombination.
