Although prior research has expressed concerns over dehumanization stemming from algorithmic management, limited scholarly attention has been dedicated to exploring how human management can complement algorithmic approaches to address these concerns. Leveraging a case study of an on-demand food delivery platform during the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed a process theoretical model that uncovers several drivers and mechanisms essential for the transition from mechanistic algorithmic management to humanistic algorithmic management. This model elucidates the dynamic substitution and complementarity of human and algorithmic management through four key mechanisms: replacing and dampening, compensating, enabling, and synergizing. It also delineates effective humanistic management actions in scenarios in which algorithmic decisions are insufficient, which contributes to both performance and humanistic outcomes. In the realm of contemporary crowd workforce management, where digital platforms employ algorithms, this research sheds light on the unique and timely insights into the role of human managers in enhancing the strategic and humanistic values of algorithmic technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0963868724000209/pdfft?md5=bb7f4e59673975bd53498f6284ca3a17&pid=1-s2.0-S0963868724000209-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141241435","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}

Drawing on tournament theory and the knowledge recombination perspective, this study proposes a model that can assist organizations in efficiently processing crowdsourced ideas by exploring two aspects: the idea content and the contest competition intensity. Analyzing a rich dataset of 16,057 ideas submitted in 61 socio-economic crowdsourcing idea contests, we find that successful ideas are more likely to stem from more distinctive knowledge while ideas that combine diverse knowledge from a broad set of topics are less likely to be successful in the idea contest. Furthermore, competition intensity weakens the positive relationship between idea distinctiveness and success, while it does not influence idea diversity. This study contributes to the growing crowdsourcing literature and offers practical guidance for crowdsourcing intermediaries and organizations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0963868724000210/pdfft?md5=4ab4de9103782c73044832a6d4f76dbc&pid=1-s2.0-S0963868724000210-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141250028","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}

We address this gap by drawing on the relational view of organisations to conceptualise network relationships as the source of requisite external non-generic complementarities for the development of dynamic capabilities (absorptive capacity, integration effort and big data analytics) essential for effective digital transformation outcomes. We follow a positivist research design to test the proposed hypotheses by collecting survey responses from informants from 183 Australian healthcare organisations. The statistical findings indicate that social capital affects the digital transformation outcomes through full individual mediations of absorptive capacity (0.13*), integration effort (0.13*) and big data analytics capability (0.05*) and a full serial mediation (0.01*). This empirical evidence provides two significant advancements to both theory and practice: a) by linking development of dynamic capabilities required for digital transformations to external non-generic complementarities embedded in network relationships; and b) by delineating specific pathways through which the dynamic capabilities of absorptive capacity, integration effort and big data analytics influence digital transformation outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0963868724000192/pdfft?md5=be81a297bd3221da660b562dea1457fb&pid=1-s2.0-S0963868724000192-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141083394","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 study explores how social enterprises can assist rural micro-entrepreneurs in mobilizing and leveraging indigenous knowledge to align production with demand. We propose technoficing as a strategic approach to rural micro-entrepreneurship. We conducted a case study of CommunityLink, a social enterprise implementing ICT-enabled practices to facilitate the growth of rural micro-entrepreneurship in India. Our findings reveal knowledge disconnections impeding the development of rural micro-entrepreneurship. Importantly, we propose a four-phase approach of technoficing – basic, internal, external, and offline-online – that can effectively mobilize and leverage indigenous knowledge for rural micro-entrepreneurs with minimal resource investment. We synthesize our findings into a comprehensive process model. Our research contributes to the discourse on ICT for development and the emerging academic dialogue on decoloniality by highlighting the significance of empowering local institutions and practices through the strategic use of off-the-shelf technologies. Practitioners and policymakers can leverage our findings to propel indigenous efforts toward rural development and improve rural livelihoods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0963868724000180/pdfft?md5=5ce391359236f9fcdcea32dba3ed0ecf&pid=1-s2.0-S0963868724000180-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140551742","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}

Traditionally – before online databases, full-text search availability, and AI-based search tools – identifying relevant sources might have been considered a valuable contribution. However, top-tier information systems (IS) journals now demand more than descriptive reviews; they require authors to move beyond summarizing existing knowledge toward proposing innovative research directions, important research questions, new concepts, and interesting linkages among concepts. Despite adhering to rigorous methodological guidelines, many authors struggle to make conceptual leaps, that is, to elevate their literature reviews beyond description, to achieve a profound understanding, to provide explanations, or to develop a model. Authors may mistakenly prioritize hard work – like thorough literature search, analysis, and organization – over hard thinking, which is crucial for advancing theoretical contributions. With this in mind, I adopt the view that the literature is indeed qualitative data. I suggest that approaches that help make conceptual leaps in qualitative research can benefit literature review authors searching for inconsistencies in the extant literature and developing new questions, concepts, and linkages. Drawing upon qualitative research (Klag, M., and Langley, A., 2013. Approaching the conceptual leap in qualitative research. International Journal of Management Reviews. 15 (2), 149–166.), I unpack the process of conceptual leaping in the conduct of literature reviews. This process involves navigating dialectic tensions between <em>knowing</em> and <em>not knowing</em>, <em>engagement</em> and <em>detachment</em>, <em>deliberation</em> and <em>serendipity</em>, and <em>self-expression</em> and <em>social connection</em>. Effectively managing these tensions can help authors increase the impact and innovativeness of their literature reviews.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0963868724000040/pdfft?md5=88dbfdddc538e298a77099b27b1656a7&pid=1-s2.0-S0963868724000040-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139907647","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}
