Overview: This PDW (professional development workshop) session
engages the workshop attendees to debate and get feedback on their
research related to unpacking the essence and peculiarities of
digital practices. In particular, the PDW is aimed at examining
how the organizing logics in a digital age requires new
theoretical viewpoints as well as expositions on how prior
theories and assumptions may be used to unpack digital practices.
Attention to digital practices is pertinent as digital is
gradually becoming a sticker concept. In recent years, we have
seen a growing trend in which the term digital is affixed to
well-known management and IT concepts (Yoo et al. 2010; Bharadwaj
et al. 2013; Baiyere et al. 2017; Tumbas et al. 2018; Hinings et
al. 2018). One may be wary and skeptical about the ongoing digital
relabeling considering there has been similar patterns with the
rise and decline of trends such as mobile "x", "e-everything", to
mention a few. Yet, there seem to be a sentiment i
n the community that digital is not necessarily another buzzword,
but the emergence of a fundamental shift. A shift that may hold
profound implications for extant management practices and
assumptions. Evidence of this can be deduced in the growing use of
the digital labels across several divisions and beyond management
disciplines. But, going beyond mere labels, scholars have shown
how digital organizing is an ongoing process (see for instance
Garud, Jain & Tuertscher, 2008). To address these issues, this
PDW is organized to attract scholars with interests in exploring,
debating or unpacking the value, necessity and positioning of the
digital notion within management scholarship. Specifically, we aim
to engage in unpacking digital practices that we conceptualize as
the logics of organizing in a digital age.
Format of the PDW: Participants are encouraged to submit extended
abstracts of research papers or ideas they are working on that is
related to the digital theme of the workshop. The idea is that
this are abstracts the participants would like to discuss and
receive constructive feedback on. Submitted abstracts would be
carefully read and grouped into related themes. These groups will
be paired with at least one of the listed renowned scholars who
would have already read the abstracts. These papers are then
discussed in roundtables along with other participants who would
have received copies of the abstract prior to the workshop.
Concluding reflections addressing the key question of the nature
of digital practices as reflected in the papers are then presented
in panel and open discussion format.
Date and Venue: The PDW is tentatively scheduled to take place at
Boston Marriott Copley Place / Grand Ballroom Salon IJ on
Saturday, Aug 10 2019, 8:00AM - 11:00AM.
To participate in the Paper Development Workshop: Interested
participants are required to submit an extended abstract (5-page
max PDF or MS Word file excluding references but including author
affiliations) of the paper to be discussed to
aba.digi@cbs.dk<mailto:aba.digi@cbs.dk>. Extended abstracts
should be submitted by July 12th to obtain the approval code. For
