Managing Peer-to-Peer Conflicts in Disruptive Information Technology Innovations: The Case of Software Reuse1

Karma Sherif, Zmud, Browne · 2006 · MIS Quarterly

Summary. Software reuse represents a disruptive innovation in development organizations that triggers peer-to-peer conflicts. The paper develops a model explaining these conflicts and shows that managerial interventions—including coordination mechanisms and organizational learning practices—reduce conflict and improve program success. A study of four organizations confirmed that companies implementing these interventions achieved better outcomes with software reuse adoption.
