From Lock-In to Transformation: A Path-Centric Theory of Emerging Technology and Organizing

Brian T. Pentland et al.

Summary: The paper introduces a path-centric theory of emerging technology and organizing, focusing on when emerging technology leads to transformative change and the self-reinforcing mechanisms of performing and patterning in shaping action patterns. The study suggests that the influence of emerging technology on action patterns determines the range of trajectories it might lead to, from lock-in to transformation. Decisive transformative effects are more likely when emerging technologies offer new actions that can be flexibly recombined to generate new paths.

In the Land of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man Is King: Knowledge Brokerage in the Age of Learning Algorithms

Lauren Waardenburg et al.

Summary: This paper explores how knowledge brokers translate opaque algorithmic predictions by studying the implementation of a learning algorithm by the Dutch police. The research highlights the evolving roles of brokers, from messenger to interpreter to curator, as they navigate the challenges posed by black-boxed machine learning. Ultimately, brokers play a key role in influencing and substituting algorithmic predictions with their own judgments.

Organizations Decentered: Data Objects, Technology and Knowledge

Cristina Alaimo et al.

Summary: Data is no longer just a part of administrative and managerial work, but has become a pervasive resource and medium for organizations to understand and respond to various contingencies. Technological developments reinforce the traditional functions of data as instruments of management and control, but also expand their role in organizational knowledge and practices. This transformation in the role of data objects and digital technologies is contributing to a paradigmatic contemporary development known as decentering of organizations.

Algorithm Supported Induction for Building Theory: How Can We Use Prediction Models to Theorize?

Yash Raj Shrestha et al.

Summary: The paper argues that scholars have not fully recognized the value of machine learning techniques for theory building from data, partly due to their inherent distaste for the explanatory predictions produced by ML algorithms. However, the authors believe that ML techniques can be very useful in pattern detection during the key step of inductive theorizing. Algorithm-supported induction is proposed as valuable for researchers interested in using quantitative data both to develop and test theories in a transparent and reproducible manner.

The digital transformation of work: A relational view

Carlos Rodriguez-Lluesma et al.

Summary: The discussion on the current and potential effects of digital technologies on the nature of work is ongoing, with a focus on the transformation towards a more relational realm. Despite the threats posed by technology, it may also encourage the emergence of a work culture that shifts towards human relationships. Work is seen as a social relation with four dimensions, emphasizing the importance of understanding the differentiation and integration of these dimensions in the digital transformation of work.
