Abstract

Renewing digital platforms is increasingly vital to ensure organisational performance and competitiveness. Managing such renewal is challenging, however, because it requires organisations to remove their exiting digital platform while at the same time building on the practises that depend on it in order to implement a new platform. Unfortunately, the literature offers little guidance on how to launch and manage this inherently complex process. Against this backdrop, we conducted a three-year case study of how a local government organisation organised and managed the renewal of its digital platform, which 4000 health professionals in eldercare use on a daily basis. We use two concepts—framing and overflowing—to reflect the complexity of the process and to describe how it unfolded. Initially, managers used persuasive language to carefully frame a vision of the change and prepare platform users for the renewal process. Despite these framing efforts, however, unexpected events led to overflow situations in which events rendered the framing untenable and threatened successful renewal. This, in turn, led to a decision to postpone the new platform's go-live date. While the postponement did defuse the situation, new overflows emerged, and management was forced to initiate further framing activities to move the platform renewal forward. Based on our insights into these events and extant literature, we present a conceptual model of framing and overflowing in organising and managing digital platform renewal that unpacks how framing–overflowing dynamics play out over time in response to the complexity of the process.

组织和管理数字平台的更新:框架和溢出的作用
更新数字平台对于确保组织绩效和竞争力越来越重要。然而,管理这种更新是具有挑战性的,因为它要求组织在移除其现有数字平台的同时,建立依赖于该平台的实践,以便实施新的平台。遗憾的是,对于如何启动和管理这一固有的复杂过程,相关文献几乎没有提供任何指导。在此背景下,我们对一家地方政府机构如何组织和管理其数字平台的更新进行了为期三年的案例研究,该机构有 4000 名老年保健专业人员每天都在使用该平台。我们使用了两个概念--"框架 "和 "溢出"--来反映这一过程的复杂性,并描述它是如何展开的。起初,管理者使用了具有说服力的语言,精心构筑了变革的愿景,并让平台用户为更新过程做好准备。然而,尽管做出了这些努力,意想不到的事件还是导致了溢出情况的发生,在这种情况下,事件的发生使得框架无法成立,并威胁到成功的更新。这反过来又导致了推迟新平台上线日期的决定。虽然延期确实化解了局面,但新的溢出情况又出现了,管理层不得不启动进一步的框架设计活动,以推进平台的更新。根据我们对这些事件和现有文献的深入了解,我们提出了一个在组织和管理数字平台更新过程中框架和溢出的概念模型,该模型揭示了框架-溢出动态是如何随着时间的推移,针对过程的复杂性而发生作用的。

期刊介绍: The Information Systems Journal (ISJ) is an international journal promoting the study of, and interest in, information systems. Articles are welcome on research, practice, experience, current issues and debates. The ISJ encourages submissions that reflect the wide and interdisciplinary nature of the subject and articles that integrate technological disciplines with social, contextual and management issues, based on research using appropriate research methods.The ISJ has particularly built its reputation by publishing qualitative research and it continues to welcome such papers. Quantitative research papers are also welcome but they need to emphasise the context of the research and the theoretical and practical implications of their findings.The ISJ does not publish purely technical papers.
