A crucial idea in organizational studies and innovation management is architectural innovation. An overview of architectural innovation's concept, traits, and importance in boosting competitiveness and organizational success are given in this abstract. The fundamental reconfiguration or redesign of an organization's basic structure, procedures, or systems is referred to as architectural innovation in the context of innovation. Architectural innovation tackles the fundamental parts and linkages inside an organisations, resulting in significant changes to its general structure and operation. This is in contrast to product innovation, which focuses on creating new goods or services. The abstract focuses on the distinctive qualities of architectural innovation, such as its capacity to provide substantial competitive advantages, allow organisations to adapt to changing market situations, and promote breakthroughs in performance and efficiency. It also clarifies the difficulties and complications involved in putting architectural innovation into practice, since this sometimes necessitates significant organizational change, cultural adjustment, and strategic realignment. The abstract also examines the many architectural innovation kinds, from radical innovations that completely alter an organization's business model or value chain to modular innovations that make adjustments to individual components. For leaders and managers looking to remain ahead in a company environment that is changing quickly, understanding architectural innovation is essential. Organisations may reinvent themselves, improve their skills, and effectively react to disruptive forces and new possibilities by embracing and using architectural innovation.
