{"title":"The Future (As a Focus) of IS Research","authors":"Robert M. Davison,&nbsp;Gerhard Schwabe","doi":"10.1111/isj.12591","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/isj.12591","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;This editorial functions as a call to action. At the ISJ, we are open to studies that address the future and thus welcome submissions. The future can take three roles in IS research: It can be an object of research, a purpose of research, and an implication of research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the future is an object of research, then we are striving to predict or envision the future. The answers to our future-oriented questions may be tentatively affirmative but to a rather restricted degree. At the turn of the last century, we saw many predictions: In 1991, Mark Weiser (&lt;span&gt;1991&lt;/span&gt;) predicted that ubiquitous computing would shape the 21st century. His prediction was based on emerging technologies and became a reality to a large extent. Malone et al. (&lt;span&gt;1987&lt;/span&gt;) predicted a world with more markets and larger organisations based on the projected reduction of transaction costs. This prediction was based on transaction cost theory and turned out to be correct. More recent predictions are based on data. For example, Frey and Osborne (&lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;) used data from O*NET and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics to predict which jobs are endangered by digitalization. A fourth line uses semi-structured approaches to speculate about the future systematically. For example, Hovorka and Mueller (&lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;) explore what the future may be like in 2043. This is, of course, a speculation, but it is an informed speculation that extrapolates from what we know today. It involves a form of disciplined what-if analysis combined with imagination (Weick &lt;span&gt;1989&lt;/span&gt;). They foresee a world where digital technologies are normal rather than exceptional, and indeed where technology is so embedded into who people are that those same people might be better described as cyborgs. Technology is likely to be integrated into many aspects of our life, and yet that integration is likely to be so seamless that we may not even notice it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most interesting predictions are based on theory. Theories that involve a temporal dimension are particularly well-suited to these predictions. For instance, Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET) is intrinsically interesting because it was developed in the 1970s (Eldredge and Gould &lt;span&gt;1972&lt;/span&gt;) as a way of explaining events that had taken place some 66 million years previously, namely the Chicxulub asteroid impact that precipitated the end of the realm of the terrestrial dinosaurs (and the later rise of the mammals), as evidenced in the geologic and fossil records with iridium deposits and tektites (LaPalma et al. &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). We cannot be 100% certain that the theoretical explanation is accurate, but it is plausible. Can PET also help us to predict the future? We are not suggesting anything as remote as 66 million years into the future: it's too far away to be able to collect data or even to speculate anything with respect to humankind, but it could provide a good basis for shorter term predictions, for instance","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"35 6","pages":"1513-1515"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12591","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145272693","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}

This is of course unsurprising given the widespread interest in how digital technologies occasion change in markets, societies at large, and the political landscape (Bareikytė et al. <span>2024</span>; Cowburn <span>2024</span>; Davidson et al. <span>2023</span>; Faik, Barrett, and Oborn <span>2020</span>; Majchrzak, Markus, and Wareham <span>2016</span>; Tana, Breidbach, and Burton-Jones <span>2023</span>). Coming to terms with these changes, their outcomes, and unintended consequences is, therefore, both important and timely. However, fully understanding these phenomena questions extant theories (Nambisan et al. <span>2017</span>; Yoo <span>2013</span>; Yoo, Henfridsson, and Lyytinen <span>2010</span>; Yoo et al. <span>2024</span>) and warrants us to pause and more carefully consider how IS as a field has tackled ‘DT’ and what challenges this entails (see also, Markus and Rowe <span>2021</span>).</p><p>This special issue comes down to two motivations that made us organise and call for papers. One motivation is rooted in the abovementioned observations that cumulatively point to the diverse reverberations that digital technologies have across levels, processes, and actors altogether raising important questions for scholarship about DT (Baiyere et al. <span>2023</span>; Yoo, Henfridsson, and Lyytinen <span>2010</span>; Yoo et al. <span>2024</span>). We, as a field, need to reflect on the implications of the assumptions shaping the narratives around DT. For example, DT has become shorthand for “change” driven by digital technology (see also, Markus <span>2004</span>). Further, DT has also been discussed as being desirable to contemporary organisations, which implies that the discussion exhibits a favourability bias (Davidsson <span>2015</span>, <span>2017</span>). Revisiting underlying assumptions is important to avoid perceptions of DT as, for example, a ‘misnomer’ (Kane <span>2018</span>). Put differently, revisiting these assumptions was one key aspect that we had in mind when we were working on the call for papers for this special issue, which emphasises ‘frontiers’ in research about DT. We wanted our special issue to foreground shifting baselines (Davison and Tarafdar <span>2018</span>) where phenomena related to DT gradually overflow our conventional concepts and models and call for novel conceptualizations (Mousavi Baygi, Introna, and Hultin <span>2021</span>). We sensed a need for studies and theorising that developed our understanding of DT in terms of its contents, levels of analysis, and processes that would contribute to widening our conceptu","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"35 4","pages":"1294-1308"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12578","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273390","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}

Our findings reveal several boundary spanning activities needed to traverse field boundaries and maintain the joint field's existence across the stages of proof-of-concept, proof-of-value, and proof-of-use. Building on insights from the work of Pierre Bourdieu, we further discuss how IS practitioner doctorates operationalised <i>capital</i>, <i>doxa</i>, and <i>habitus</i> to achieve varying degrees of practical impact in their work. Action-oriented recommendations are presented to support practical impact going forward including creolised messages and the mobilisation of capital to change inter-field relationships.

Today, 17 colonies remain.\u0000 &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;\u0000 Historians, anthropologists and sociologists have time and again shown that Eurocentric science and technology played an instrumental role in supporting the political needs of the colonial administration, from Africa (Goody &lt;span&gt;1982&lt;/span&gt;) and the Indian subcontinent (Kumar &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;; MacLeod and Kumar &lt;span&gt;1995&lt;/span&gt;), to the Americas (Vickers &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;). An unfortunate aspect of colonial project was that the technology transfer from the West to the colonies was made for political purposes. Another more subtle but still critical consequence was that the introduction and application of Eurocentric technologies also directly and indirectly subordinated local epistemologies and Indigenous\u0000 &lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;\u0000 thought, making the colonies epistemically dependent on the colonisers. Some colonies gained independence through war (e.g., the 13 American colonies in 1776), but many remained under European control both politically and ideologically until well after World War II, when war-torn European countries could not afford to maintain tight control over their colonies. As countries gained their independence, many citizens sought to distance themselves from their former colonisers and return to the national and cultural identities, lifestyles and ways of knowing their ancestors had embraced prior to colonialisation. This process is referred to as &lt;i&gt;decolonialisation&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While &lt;i&gt;colonialism&lt;/i&gt; refers to the historical period of direct political and economic control by colonial powers, &lt;i&gt;coloniality&lt;/i&gt; refers to the persistence of colonial power relations, embedded in contemporary institutions, values, social hierarchies, and, importantly for researchers, knowledge. Given that the purpose of colonial enterprise is control, the colonial view of the production of knowledge is “‘mentally divorced’ from the local setting” in which it operates and ignores “local requirements” and “local knowledge” (Kumar &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;, 8–12). It attempts to erase local knowledge in every form and replace it with colonial epistemic structures (de Sousa Santos &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Satia &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Thus, dominant Eurocentric epistemologies served as the foundation on which fields of knowledge grew throughout the world. It is not surprising then that one legacy of colonialism is new forms of coloniality vis-à-vis the dominance of Eurocentric thought in academic discourse, including IS academic literature (Banerjee &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Chughtai &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this editorial, we seek to explain what coloniality is and how it relates to the IS field.

Scholars have studied the multifaceted consequences of digital platforms, including: the impact of labour platforms on the future of work, such as working conditions, identity and professionalisation (Berg et al. &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;; Bosma &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Dunn &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Elbanna and Idowu &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Idowu and Elbanna &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Taylor and Joshi &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;); the effects of knowledge datafication on digital transformation of organisations (Alaimo &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;); commodification and subsequent exploitation of emerging platform economies such as ‘user experience’ (Lupton &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;) and ‘emotional economy’ (Patulny, Lazarevic, and Smith &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;); inevitable surveillance afforded by platform algorithms (Galière &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Newlands &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Zuboff &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;); their implications for development (Anwar and Graham &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Bonina et al. &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Nicholson, Nielsen, and Saebo &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;); and new forms of activism in response to platforms' colonial effects (Chamakiotis, Petrakaki, and Panteli &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;).
