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
Confirmed senior scholars include Michael Barrett (University of
Cambridge), Eivor Oborn (Warwick University), Magnus Mähring
(Stockholm School of Economics), and Robin Teigland (Stockholm
School of Economics).
Please note that there is no workshop fee, but participants will
need to cover their accommodation and travel expenses.
Med vänliga hälsningar / Best wishes,
