Abstract

ABSTRACT Algorithms play an increasing role in food retailing and distribution. Through a longitudinal study supported by qualitative interviews, we explore how such technologies have turned the sourcing of food into a highly automated transaction, moving from explore and exploit to embed and embalm. We demonstrate the impact that embedding algorithms can have on organizational processes and structures and that this may shift the balance of power within the value chain without being visible to management.

创造权力悖论的算法：探索、开发、嵌入、禁运

摘要算法在食品零售和配送中发挥着越来越重要的作用。通过一项由定性访谈支持的纵向研究，我们探讨了这些技术如何将食品采购转变为高度自动化的交易，从探索和开发转变为嵌入和防腐。我们证明了嵌入算法可能对组织流程和结构产生的影响，这可能会在不被管理层看到的情况下改变价值链内的权力平衡。
