Management of Convergence in Innovation : Strategies and Capabilities for Value Creation Beyond Blurring Industry Boundaries
Throughout the past decade, the phenomenon of technological convergence has increasingly gained managerial attention.

As a consequence, convergence does not only promise the creation of new value, but may imply significant disruptions to established industries.
