Abstract
The current context of the oil and gas industry and its need for more efficient operations have resulted in the examination of the potential for digital innovations to reduce costs, enhance productivity and boost performance. Specifically, digital innovations in large-scale logistics systems, referred to as Information Infrastructures (IIs), represent an opportunity for more efficient logistics strategies. However, there is limited research on how to enable digital innovations in this domain. This research focuses on the innovation of IIs and is conducted in the context of logistics in the upstream offshore oil and gas industry. The present study identifies IT governance and innovation practices which have been found to influence IS innovation and examines their influence on the innovation of IIs in the domain of logistics in the oil and gas industry. Through a Delphi study, a total of 47 practices that are perceived to influence the innovation of logistics IIs in the oil and gas industry were found. Further, the levels of impact of these practices in terms of their “effectiveness” and “ease of implementation” were determined, and a minimum baseline of practices that can be applied in organizations to foster innovation was proposed. These findings have theoretical and practical implications not only for the oil and gas industry but also can be applied to other systems/industries.
