I would like to invite you to submit extended drafts to the House of Innovation workshop on Organizing and Entrepreneurship in Distributed Contexts at the Stockholm School of Economics.
[cid:image002.png@01D3BD41.28253F90]WORKSHOP ON "ORGANIZING AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN DISTRIBUTED CONTEXTS" House of Innovation, Stockholm School of Economics, Stockholm, August 30-31, 2018
Deadline for extended abstracts (maximum 3000 words excl. refs): May 15, 2018 Please send questions and submissions to: claire.ingram@hhs.semailto:claire.ingram@hhs.se
Deadline for full papers (maximum 8000 words excl. refs): August 1, 2018
The idea that technological progress changes-and often improves-how organizations are managed is one that has stood the test of time (See Melville et al., 2004). However, the how of organizing in the digital age is incredible complex (Zammuto et al., 2007) and still poorly understood. This is because of the interconnected social and technical structures involved in organizing (Tilson et al., 2010), the distributed nature of organizing and innovation in the digital age (Yoo et al., 2012), and the rapidly evolving interplay between technologies and patterns of organizing (Henfridsson & Bygstad, 2013).
Despite this, the digital age has not only given rise to new patterns of organizing among established organizations but also given rise to new entrepreneurial organizations (Nambisan, 2017). These organizations enable new activities, interactions and behaviors, including the creation of new market conditions and even new markets (von Hippel & von Krogh, 2003), new ways of coordinating (Venters, Oborn, & Barrett, 2014), and new ways of building and delivering products and services (Yoo et al., 2012). However, these new activities bring with them new concerns, for instance around governance and control in the digital age (Gregory et al., 2015) and the appropriation of rents in distributed contexts (West & O'Mahony, 2008).
This paper development workshop therefore calls for papers that examine "Organizing and Entrepreneuring in Distributed Contexts". Possible topics for examination include the following:
- Flexibility in digital entrepreneurship and organizing
- Paradoxes in distributed contexts
- Coordination, communication and governance in distributed contexts
- Rent appropriation in distributed contexts
- Disintermediation and its impact on actors, activities, and ecosystems
- Organizational transformation(s) in light of decentralization
Med vänliga hälsningar / Best wishes, Claire
