Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digital Transformation (DT) impacts industries, non-profit sectors, higher education, and even societies. As connectivity technologies blend with physical assets, modifications in value creation processes are provoked. These modifications may have positive impacts such as higher effectivity, enhanced business models, and improved customer connection. However, realizing a DT is a complex endeavor. Specific properties, so-called barriers, hinder the DT journey. Thus, it is essential to grasp the barriers and indicate ways to overcome them. We develop a decision matrix for overcoming barriers using qualitative data from participants working in different sectors. This work builds upon a pre-study developing a barrier classification and enhances it with specific recommendations such as “define clear DT responsibilities”. Thus, our work takes the development of plain barrier classifications further. From a theoretical perspective, this work contributes to developing hypothetical models of the effects of recommendations to overcome barriers in the future. From a practical perspective, companies can use the recommendations to plan actions to take.

Smarta gränslösa arenor : Vägledande studie för en hållbar och affärsmässigt lönsam utveckling av publika arenor inom sport, event och kultur
- 2023
-
Reports (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Så kan klimatomställning, hållbarhet och innovativ teknik öka publika arenors intäkter:Exponentiell teknikutveckling, krav på konkreta och verksamma klimatåtgärder och en hållbar mänsklig livsstil, förändrar förutsättningar för hur besöksberoende verksamheter drivs och utvecklas. Behovet av att anpassa och förnya en arenas upplevelser samt var och hur dessa kan konsumeras, sker i snabb takt. I en sextio sidor lång Framtidsstudie tecknas förutsättningarna för den publika arenans utveckling och digitala affärsmöjligheter. Dels som skådebana för upplevelser på plats, dels som virtuell estrad där inget är omöjligt eller avstånd inte har någon betydelse. Studien är framtagen av företaget AAKERMOUNT i samverkan med Universitetslektor Sven Packmohr vid Malmö Universitet och innehåller omvärldsbeskrivning, genomförande processer, en fallstudie med tillhörande framtids-scenarier, samt slutsatser och åtgärdsförslag.För information eller beställning av studie; kontakta Anders Åkerberg på AAKERMOUNT; anders@aakermount.com För ytterligare information kontakta Sven Packmohr på Malmö Universitet; sven.packmohr@mau.se

Fields of Action to Advance the Digital Transformation of NPOs : Development of a Framework
- 2020
-
In: Perspectives in Business Informatics Research. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030611392 - 9783030611408 ; , s. 82-97
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Technology-based business improvements characterize the so-called digital transformation (DT). For non-profit organizations (NPOs), with their unique value creation structure and specific preconditions in terms of staff and resources, keeping up with the DT is challenging. Still, opportunities for the DT are unknown. Thus far, there are no comprehensive guidelines for DT strategy development in NPOs. Both digital value creation and digitally supported communication with customers can lead to competitive advantages. Therefore, NPO decision-makers must understand the opportunities and the challenges of DT. In our research approach, we aim to answer the research question: What are the fields of action for the digital transformation in NPOs? Following a grounded theory approach, we have developed a theoretical framework including fields of action and guidance for the strategic advancement of DT in NPOs. The results show that NPOs need to be aware of their digital communications channels with volunteer staff, customers and donors. A clear DT vision and new roles help NPOs meet this challenge.

A perfect couple? : “Blue collars in the context of digital transformation in organizations” and “Scandinavian institutionalism”
- 2022
-
In: Management and organizational studies on blue & grey collar worker. - : BAŞKENT ÜNİVERSİTES.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Humanity is faced with another revolution now: “Industry 4.0”. In addition to economic elements, other dimensions of societal structures are also fundamentally reorganized by this novel revolution. As a natural consequence of this development, digital transformation became a substantial issue for business organizations, the crucial players of the economy in society. Several studies have investigated the antecedents, processes, and consequences associated with digitalization in organizations. However, the overwhelming majority of these studies discussed the issue from the perspective of white-collar employees, who are the decision-makers or decision developers. Thus, it could be suggested that there is a significant gap in digitalization literature about the views of blue-collar employees, who are bound by the consequences of the decisions by the white collars. Therefore, the current study aims to emphasize the “non-tackled” conditions of blue-collar workers during organizational digital transformation. Furthermore, only a few studies solidified (or warranted) their claims with a theoretical approach. Thus, the present study also aims to discuss whether the textures of Scandinavian Institutionalism and digital transformation are consistent to test Scandinavian Institutionalism as an alternative theoretical foundation for future studies that will search for an adequate theory to understand this phenomenon better. Finally, the current study also aims to recommend certain research avenues to combine the digital transformation of blue-collar employees and Scandinavian Institutionalism.

Enhancing the Digital Transformation of Sports Arenas
- 2022
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Developments within digital technology are redefining how spectators will experience sport in the future. Combined with current crises, it creates new demands on how sports arenas can generate visitors to their events. An alternative can be virtual arenas. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the visitor’s expectations of a virtual arena and identify key factors that affected potential spectators’ intentions to visit a virtual arena. This qualitative study collected empirical data through focus groups. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) was used as a theoretical foundation for the analysis. This study results in an enhanced hypothetical model arguing for additional elements affecting a spectator’s intention to visit a virtual arena. Our research contributes to helping shape future research on and practical implementation of virtual arenas.

Digitising Miles and Snow : using cluster analysis to empirically derive digital business strategy types
- 2023
-
In: Technology Analysis & Strategic Management. - : Routledge. - 0953-7325 .- 1465-3990.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digitisation is among the macro-trends that significantly influence the business world in the twenty-first century. Firms striving to succeed in this environment must develop new strategic approaches. The accelerating development of information technology (IT) drives digitisation. Therefore, IT and business strategies must be integrated. In this context, the information systems literature promotes the concept of digital business strategies (DBSs), reflecting a fusion between IT and business strategies. However, knowledge of the types and characteristics of such DBSs is currently scarce. Therefore, we developed a conceptually and empirically grounded typology of DBS based on the well-known business strategy classification by Miles and Snow (1978). Using a dataset comprising 192 firms worldwide, we conducted a cluster analysis, identified basic types of DBS, and evaluated their effects on firm performance. Moreover, we identified four types of DBS: non-digital reactor, analyser, digital opportunist, and digital producer. The study contributes to a better understanding of new business strategy concepts in the digitisation context.

Digital Business Strategy : Towards an empirically derived topology
- 2021
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digitization is among the macro-trends that significantly determine the business world of the 21st century. Firms striving to succeed in this environment have to develop new strategic approaches. The accelerating development of information technology drives digitization. Thus, IT strategy and business strategy need to be integrated. In this context, information systems literature promotes the concept of digital business strategy, reflecting a fusion between IT strategy and business strategy. However, currently, we do not know much about the characteristics and different types of such digital business strategies. To this end, we develop a conceptually and empirically grounded typology of digital business strategies. Based on a dataset of 281 firms worldwide, we carry out a cluster analysis, identify basic types of digital business strategies and evaluate their effects on firm performance. The paper contributes to a better understanding of new business strategy concepts. It thus enriches the extant insights from innovation management, strategic management, and information systems literature in the context of digitization.

A call for more sociomateriality and its usage in research on digital transformation
- 2021
-
In: Proceedings of the IADIS International Conference Information Systems. - 9789898704276 ; , s. 285-289
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Sociotechnical and sociomaterial perspectives are tools for research on Information System. As Digital Transformation is a research area related to IS, this paper takes these two perspectives into account for a literature review. The explicit use of both perspectives is rather limited. Still, sociotechnical is the broader perspective. A call for more sociomateriality in research on Digital Transformation is the aim of this reflection paper.

Research-Based Learning during a Pandemic : Findings from a Course on Business Informatics Conducting Research on Barriers to Digital Transformation
- 2022
-
In: Digital Challenges and Strategies in a Post-Pandemic World. - Berlin : Peter Lang Publishing Group. - 9783631881415
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digital Transformation is a ubiquitous process envisioned to enhance operations, business models, and customer contact. Practically, barriers stand in the way of these enhancements. In a Master’s course on Business Informatics, a research-based learning design was used to research these barriers. Furthermore, the research-based learning design was expected to generate a positive student engagement, as the course had to be adopted to Covid-19 teaching policies. Results of the data generated throughout the course show a high explanation power of the applied barrier model as the adjusted R² is 0,648. In the evaluation of the course design, students perceive the effects of the research-based design on their understanding and their critical thinking as excellent.

Starting an ML journey : A case study of an organization’s digital transformation through the lens of sociomateriality
- 2022
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Jägersro is a horse racing track situated in Malmö, Sweden. A public body funded this organization to start its Machine Learning (ML) journey. Jägersro wants to use this opportunity to initiate its journey towards a digitally transformed organization. During its ML journey, the institution will face different barriers. This study aims to analyze the start of the organization’s journey. A sociomaterial perspective is applied during the analysis to generalize the findings. A project like this is an ideal start for a digital transformation as ML is a well-defined area. Results indicate a strong need for making implementation efforts visible and material to spark further development of a DT.
