Addressing global outbreaks requires – among other things – well-functioning systems to produce information. The aim of the paper is to understand uncertainty in the context of information systems (IS) and to analyze the role of formal and informal information practices in identifying and responding to communicable diseases in the context of developing countries. Our empirical focus is on a dengue outbreak in 2016 in Burkina Faso- Dengue was then unknown in the context and formal “techne” based information systems were inadequate in dealing with it. Drawing on work defining uncertainty as a resource, we extend our practice-based theoretical lens with the concepts of “general and specific metis” to describe practices neither established formally or informally, but which evolve as the disease unfolds. While general metis represents practices based on the broader understanding of the context which the health staff have, specific metis relates to the particular practices they construct to acquire, share, and react on information as the disease unfolds. Our paper contributes primarily in foregrounding the role of uncertainty in information systems research and how this relates to formal, informal and emerging information practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"31 3","pages":"Article 100366"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.infoandorg.2021.100366","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91620524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How these communities create or acquire necessary resources in such settings is an important theoretical and practical question. In this paper, I investigate how a peer-production community overcame substantial resource challenges, using the analytic lens of bricolage theory, in a longitudinal study of HomeNets, communities of residents that developed residential Internet infrastructures and services for a million users in Minsk, Belarus, without funds, material resources, knowledge, or formal legal status. The findings illustrate that communities develop their missing resources by engaging in multiple coexisting bricolage forms and processes, which help them to successfully incorporate the individual and collective resource building efforts of their participants and address the challenges specific to the continuously evolving community. Based on the findings, I propose a model of community resource development with bricolage, discuss theoretical and practical implications for studies on communities and bricolage, and suggest areas for further research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"31 3","pages":"Article 100365"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.infoandorg.2021.100365","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125105074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we analyze how the COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a natural breaching experiment that has challenged taken-for-granted expectations about digitalization and revealed four important issues: uneven access to digital infrastructures, the persistence of the analog in digitalization, the brittleness of unchecked digitalization, and panoptical surveillance. The sudden shift to digital work has exposed taken-for-granted assumptions about the universality of digital access. The crisis has also revealed that many highly digitalized processes still rely on analog elements. The pandemic has also exposed that many algorithms used in digitalized inter-organizational processes are brittle due to overreliance on historic patterns. Finally, the pandemic has breached fundamental expectations of privacy when organizational surveillance was extended into private and public spaces. Thus, the pandemic has laid bare fundamental challenges in digitalization and has exposed the limits of rose‑tinted thinking about the relation between technology and organizing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"31 1","pages":"Article 100337"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.infoandorg.2021.100337","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45950423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
