- Action research is widespread in many of the background disciplines that underpin the e-Government field andis beginning to take root as a legitimate e-Government research method. Canonical Action Research (CAR)is the most widely used form of action research; however it relies on premises that can be problematic in thee-Government context. This article details some of those underlying assumptions, and shows the difficulties that result when applied to a relatively typical e-Government case study: the implementation of an advanced email system in Danish public administration. The empirical experience calls many of the standard premises into question, and these are categorised. The authors summarize the resulting experience as nine challenges for action researchers working in the e-Government field, and investigate some possible responses.

Tackling Lack of Motivation in Aspirational Analytics Companies : SME Examples from the Manufacturing Industry
- 2019
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Business Intelligence Research. - : IGI Global. - 1947-3591 .- 1947-3605. ; 10:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Establishing business intelligence analytics (BIA) in small- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises is a pervasive problem. SME’s - the majority of businesses - play an important role in creating jobs, but research is primarily focused on large corporations. The authors worked with small manufacturing companies at the aspirational capability level but found that their motivation to introduce BIA was low. They had many business challenges but perceived the obstacles (primarily cost and effort) as too great, and their priorities were with operational issues. A two-phase approach based on a well-known analytics maturity model was devised to help raise company motivation. The article describes three studies in different companies using variations of the approach. Comparative analysis of the cases shows that demonstrating a clear path to improved functional efficiency is key to improving motivation, and that simple, easy to learn tools can provide these insights at little cost.

Digital all the way down; innovation in the software industry
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Organizing for Digital Innovation. - Amsterdam.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The call for papers for this workshop defines digital innovation as the application of digital tools, technology and digital infrastructure in new products, services, and business models that offer customers enhanced or unique value. While such a broad definition may be appealing in embracing a broad range of innovation practices, it may be argued to conflate two distinct types of innovation: those that bridge digital and physical domains and those that operate solely in the digital domain. An example of the former might be innovations associated with the digitalisation of automobile control systems in which digital technologies enhance the capabilities of a physical product. An example of the latter might be innovation in the software industry, in which the product itself is digital. In this paper we will review the literature on the characteristics of digital artefacts to try to identify the ways in which innovation practices may differ between these two types. Drawing on evidence from 18 small and medium-sized software enterprises in a specific geographic locale, we will explore the extent to which innovation in these firms may be seen as reflecting the particular characteristics of digital products. It will be argued that innovation of digital products, such as software, may be considered as a special case of digital innovation.

An integrated model of innovation drivers for smaller software firms
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Information & Management. - : Elsevier. - 0378-7206 .- 1872-7530. ; 53:3, s. 307-323
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High technology innovation is essential for economic development in industrialised societies. Innovation practice in smaller software companies, however, has received little attention. We derive software innovation drivers and outputs from a fragmented literature and analyse their empirical relevance using qualitative data from twenty-five in-depth interviews with software executives in the Silicon Fen. Repeating patterns in the dataset revealed through content analysis show that the most important innovation drivers for smaller software firms are external knowledge, leadership and team process. Specialised innovation tools and techniques are hardly used. We develop a model of software innovation drivers, together with explorative theoretical propositions.

Designing Innovative Digital Services for Government : A Business Model Canvas Adaptation
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 27th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS). - : Association for Information Systems. - 9781733632508
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- E-government is not known for its progressive approach to the design of e-services. An action design research approach is taken for the development of a tool for helping e-service designers work in an innovative way. The theoretical grounding is in open service innovation, service-dominant logic and service design, and the research was conducted with the help of local government prac-titioners in Sweden. The resulting tool is an adaptation of the well-known business model canvas – the innovative digital service canvas. Other contributions include an approach to design science incorporating theory-based design principles, and the design principles themselves.

Digital Inclusion Competences for Senior Citizens : The Survival Basics
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Electronic Government. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030575984 - 9783030575991 ; , s. 151-163
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The rapid pace of digitalisation provides many smarter and more efficient ways of interacting with the world, but may also lead to the exclusion of some groups. Senior citizens are one of these groups at risk. Taking the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens as a starting point, we investigate digital survival skills for the elderly. Data was collected from digital education workshops for senior citizens organized jointly between Telia, Swedish municipalities, and the researchers. We use content analysis to understand seniors’ perceptions of which competences they need to survive in an increasingly digital environment and provide a version of the Competence Framework targeted at senior citizen inclusion. Lessons for inclusion initiatives are drawn from the results.

How e-Government managers prioritise rival value positions : The efficiency imperative
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Information Polity. - : IOS Press. - 1570-1255 .- 1875-8754. ; 20:1, s. 35-59
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- E-Government strategies, investments, project selection, and implementations are influenced by value positionsdeeply enshrined in the traditions of public administration, which are in turn reflected in the everyday discourse of publicmanagers. We analyse value traditions in the public administration literature and their adaptation for e-Government and synthesise three prominent positions. Administrative efficiency focuses on cost-effectiveness logics highlighted by New Public Management thinking. Service improvement, derived from the tradition of public service, emphasises the provision of better services for citizens. Citizen engagement, with its roots in liberal democracy arguments, promotes responsiveness, consultation, collaboration and participation. A set of foundational values grounded in the deeply rooted bureaucratic tradition is also distinguished. A qualitative survey of Danish local authority managers’ value positions shows a heavy bias towards administrative efficiency and an absence of concern for citizen engagement. The implications of this efficiency imperative are discussed.

Innovation Drivers and Outputs for Software Firms : Literature Review and Concept Development
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Advances in Software Engineering. - : Hindawi Publishing Corporation. - 1687-8655 .- 1687-8663. ; 2016
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Software innovation - the ability to produce novel and useful software systems - is an important capability for software development organizations and information system developers alike. However, the software development literature has traditionally focused on automation and efficiency while the innovation literature has given relatively little consideration to the software development context. As a result, there is a gap in our understanding of how software product and process innovation can be managed. Specifically, little attention has been directed toward synthesising prior learning or providing an integrative perspective on the key concepts and focus of software innovation research. We therefore identify 93 journal articles and conference papers within the domain of software innovation and analyse repeating patterns in this literature using content analysis and causal mapping. We identify drivers and outputs for software innovation and develop an integrated theory-oriented concept map. We then discuss the implications of this map for future research.
