- Digitization is already changing Europe and the whole world. Whether or not we can leverage its opportunities to foster prosperity, human well-being, and sustainability depends on the strategic decisions taken today. Will the countries work together to embrace these opportunities, or will they let this chance pass? Overcoming historical divides and acting solidarity united in a prosperous Europe is the only way. As digital frontrunners, the IS researchers have a key role to play and the responsibility to act as an engine to make the digital transition happen at a sufficiently fast pace for Europe to remain competitive in a rapidly digitizing world. Digitization in united societies is about bringing people together, having a better life and a bright future. Together we can build societies collectively inclusive, innovative, and able to adapt to the massive societal challenges of the 21st century. ECIS 2022 will bring together information systems (IS) researchers in East and West, being only the second time in Eastern Europe after Gdańsk, Poland, in 2002. ECIS in Timișoara will provide a unique opportunity to unite IS researchers in Europe, making it an inclusive conference that allows all academics from AIS Region 2 to participate. We believe that the participants will find the conference fee really likeable and we promise to deliver good value for the money. Timișoara’s aim is to connect and ultimately digitally unite academics and societies.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A Digital Transformation fundamentally involves the implementation of one or more digital tools, which is a process often burdened with challenges. It is estimated that approximately 66 to 84 percent of the taken Digital Transformation initiatives are unsuccessful, which can be attributed to organizational shortcomings, more specifically structural ones. While public organizations regularly do not achieve the same success as those in the private sector, it was of interest to investigate the Swedish ones. Where 86 percent of residents use the internet to interact with public authorities. Previous research has singled out the IT organization to be the appointed leader of Digital Transformations, further research on that relationship is limited. Therefore, this study examines how the IT organization, in an agile environment, can align its structure for a successful Digital Transformation. To answer the discovered research problem, the following research question has been formulated: “How should an IT organization’s structure be aligned in an agile environment in order to achieve a successful Digital Transformation?”. This is research in progress and will be continued by conducting case studies in four public organizations. Data will be collected through semi0structured interviews and analyzed thematically. Finally, a presentation of different aspect of organizational structure alignment through digital transformation based on these cases will be provided.

Digital Transformation in Public Organisations : IT Alignment-Related Success Factors
- 2022
-
Ingår i: ISD2022 PROCEEDINGS. - Atlanta : Association for Information Systems (AIS). - 9789735329174
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- IT alignment is recognised as one of the prerequisites for digital transformation in the extant literature. To further our understanding of this relationship, a case study was conducted in a public organisation (city administration). Data was collected through interviews and internal-organisational documents in four sub-cities within the city administration. The findings suggest that an organisation’s attempt to reach IT- aligned position improves the likelihood of successful digital transformation. The analysis also revealed various factors influencing IT alignment in a public organisation undertaking digital transformation. These factors are presented in eight categories---organisational structure, organisational culture, organisational agility, leadership skills, human resource management, digital metrics, external domain alignment, and stakeholder relationships. The contributions of the study for research and practice are also discussed.

IT Alignment and its Influence on Digital Transformation Success

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Managing digital transformation is a complex enterprise dependent on various organisational, managerial, and technological factors. Among others, the influence of factors related to IT alignment on digital transformation is recognised. This study attempts to establish the significance of eight organisational and managerial factors (organisational agility, organisational structure, organisational culture, leadership skills, digital metrics, HR management, stakeholder relationships, and external domain alignment). Our aim is to investigate whether these factors’ influence on IT alignment affects the success of digital transformation in public organisations. The proposed conceptual research model, founded on related prior studies, was tested with quantitative data collected through a survey from 402 leaders. Our results indicate that IT alignment is positively related to digital transformation success in public organisations. However, the PLS-SEM analysis reveals a varying degree of influence among the factors on IT alignment as organisations undertake digital transformation.

Barriers in Digital Transformation in a Small and Medium Enterprise in Nigeria
- 2022
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Innovation in the Digital Economy. - 1947-8305 .- 1947-8313. ; 13:1, s. 1-17

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face competition in today's digital economy and a marketplace that is constantly changing and dynamic. Therefore, SMEs aspire to achieve a competitive advantage, enhance their organizational performance, and improve their businesses through a digital transformation (DT). Previous research studies still lack a deep knowledge of the barriers in digital transformation in SMEs in a developing country like Nigeria. Therefore, this research aims to determine the barriers that a small and medium company in Nigeria faces regarding DT. The findings of this study revealed twenty-three barriers in DT of which nine are similar to those identified in previous research literature and fourteen are new barriers. The identified barriers in DT can help managers in SMEs in Nigeria as well in other developing countries to understand how to mitigate them and have a successful DT.

Cultural Values in Digital Transformation in a Small Company
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Procedia Computer Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 1877-0509. ; 196, s. 3-12
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Researchers and practitioners have found culture to be very important to digital transformation. However, despite the widespread consensus about the importance of culture in successful digital transformations, only a limited number of studies have explicitly focused on the cultural aspects in digital transformation in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). This research investigates and analyses the important cultural values in digital transformation in a small company operating in the IT industry. The findings of this study are nine organisational values, from which eight values show similarities to the existing research. In contrast, the organisational value entitled “affinity towards the organisation” has been identified as a new organisational value in digital transformation in small companies. The identified cultural values can raise the awareness of organisations’ management planning or currently engaged in a digital transformation and help organisations recognise cultural values that can contribute to digital transformation initiatives’ success or failure.
