Adopting Information Systems Perspectives from Small Organizations
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Why do organizations adopt information systems? Is it just because of financial reasons, of concerns for efficiency? Or is it due to external pressures, such as competitor pressure, that an organization adopts an information system?And, how does the adoption take place? Is it a linear process, or is the process one of conflicts? Does a specific person govern this process, or do we have multiple parties involved? What happens if these conflicts occur among those involved? How does the organization move on and achieve a successful information system adoption?By investigating two organizations, one international academic journal and one South American manufacturing company, this thesis aims to investigate the whys and hows of information system adoption, and aims to contribute to the discourse on information system adoptions in small organizations – an often underrepresented segment in information system adoption literature.By adopting different theoretical lenses throughout the five research papers included, this body of work suggests that even when seemingly simple, information system adoptions can become rather complex. The cases reveal that the role of information systems and issues related to information system adoptions are often not well thought-out in the early days of the organization. The actors’ understandings of adoption and consequences mature and the information systems become more intertwined.Common use of stakeholder theory introduces general stakeholders and their interaction with the focal organization. The cases reveal that the adoption process involves multiple actors, even within what would initially appear as a stakeholder, and that those actors can be in conflict with each other. These conflicts often lead to negotiations, and the cases reveal that these negotiations are opportunities of learning; the actors engage with the information system and with each other, gaining new knowledge about the issues at hand.The dissertation argues that there are various social worlds in information system adoptions, and various factors – ranging from organizational structure to social norms – that often affect why and how the organization undergoes an adoption process. The multiple power relations and divergent interests of stakeholders in these adoption processes, and how information systems affect other parts of the organization, reinforce the need for a well thought-out, flexible and reflexive approach to information system adoptions.

Reshaping The Stakeholder Model : Insights From Negotiated Order Theory
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Research Papers. - : Association for Information Systems.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The need to complement the existing stakeholder theory with more dynamic perspectives has been acknowledged for some time. This article uses the insight from negotiated order theory to provide a more actor oriented and dynamic illustration of the stakeholder understanding by adapting the classic Freeman model, strengthening its pedagogical value. Adopting a hermeneutic approach, the model is built by drawing from the extant literature and applied in a case to highlight how particularities of the case can be presented differently. By providing some factors that influence the dynamic process and how the actors affected the negotiations, the model presents the dynamism in stakeholder management and the temporality of the situation, as well as how the roles the individuals play within stakeholder management should be kept in focus while conducting a stakeholder analysis.

Trends in Patient Generated Data – An Initial Review
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 52nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences | 2019. - Honolulu : University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. - 9780998133126 ; , s. 4146-4154

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In recent years, patient-centered care has gained significant momentum in healthcare and the patient is more involved as an active participant in data generation. In this state of the art review we identify trends in patient generated data (PGD) and areas in need of further research by reviewing papers published in the health tracks of five high-ranked IS conferences. Our results suggest that research is mostly empirically grounded and primarily focuses on sickness rather than wellness issues. There is an emphasis on chronic diseases and self-management, dealing with user motivation, and a focus mostly on mobile apps. Though technology plays an important part, there is scarce problematization of and theorization on PGD. Further studies are needed that investigate the effects of PGD on patients and healthcare providers, include a wider range of issues and incorporate wearable devices more comprehensively.

Trying to Go Open : Knowledge Management in an Academic Journal
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Open Source Solutions for Knowledge Management and Technological Ecosystems. - Hershey, PA, USA : IGI Global. - 9781522509059 - 9781522509066 ; , s. 222-250
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Theoretically, open source solutions are a good match with the resource scarce organization such as a young academic journal to make the publication process and the knowledge shared explicit to the participants in the system. This paper uses a case study approach to investigate how the decision to have such a system depends on a myriad of factors, and tracks how the editorial team decided to adopt an open source journal management system for their knowledge management issues. The study argues that these components should not be taken in isolation by showing how the previous decisions can become a hindrance as these components change over time. The results show that some factors, though initially thought to be unimportant, can become major forces as the journal matures, and a more holistic approach could help to side-step the problems faced.
