The public release of Large Language Models (LLMs) has sparked tremendous interest in how humans will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to accomplish a variety tasks. In our study conducted with Boston Consulting Group, global management consulting firm, we examine the performance implications AI on realistic, complex, and knowledge-intensive pre-registered experiment involved 758 consultants comprising about 7% individual contributor-level at company. After establishing baseline similar...

Using a longitudinal in-depth field study at NASA, I investigate how the open, or peer-production, innovation model affects R&D professionals, their work, and locus of innovation. professionals are known for keeping knowledge work within clearly defined boundaries, protecting it from individuals outside those rejecting meritorious that is created disciplinary boundaries. The open challenges these boundaries opens to be conducted by anyone who chooses contribute. At led scientific...

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies promise to transform how professionals conduct knowledge work by augmenting their capabilities for making professional judgments. We know little, however, about human-AI augmentation takes place in practice. Yet, gaining this understanding is particularly important when use AI tools form judgments on critical decisions. conducted an in-depth field study a major U.S. hospital where were used three departments diagnostic radiologists breast cancer,...

Openness and collaboration in scientific research are attracting increasing attention from scholars practitioners alike. However, a common understanding of these phenomena is hindered by disciplinary boundaries disconnected streams. We link dispersed knowledge on Open Innovation, Science, related concepts such as Responsible Research Innovation proposing unifying Science (OIS) Framework. This framework captures the antecedents, contingencies, consequences open collaborative practices along...

The innovation journey of new product development processes often spans weeks or months. Recently, though, hackathons have turned the into an ad hoc sprint only a couple days using tools and technologies. Existing research predicts that such conditions will result in failure to produce working products, yet lead functioning innovative products. To investigate this puzzle, we closely studied process 13 comparable projects assistive technology hackathons. We found accelerating created temporal...

This paper contrasts traditional, organization-centered models of innovation with more recent work on open innovation. These fundamentally different and inconsistent logics are associated contrasting organizational boundaries designs. We suggest that when critical tasks can be modularized problem-solving knowledge is widely distributed available, complements traditional logics. induce these ideas from the literature extended examples Apple, NASA, LEGO. task decomposition distribution not...

Increasingly, new forms of organizing for knowledge production are built around self-organizing coproduction community models with ambiguous role definitions. Current theories struggle to explain how high-quality is developed in these settings and participants self-organize the absence definitions, traditional organizational controls, or formal coordination mechanisms. In this article, we engage puzzle by investigating temporal dynamics underlying emergent roles on individual levels....

Analogy—the ability to find and apply deep structural patterns across domains—has been fundamental human innovation in science technology. Today there is a growing opportunity accelerate by moving analogy out of single person’s mind distributing it many information processors, both machine. Doing so has the potential overcome cognitive fixation, scale large idea repositories, support complex problems with multiple constraints. Here we lay perspective on future scalable analogical first steps...

Roles provide a key coordination mechanism in peer‐production. Whereas one stream the literature has focused on structural responsibilities associated with roles, another stressed emergent nature of work. To date, these streams have proceeded largely parallel. In seeking to enhance our understanding tension between structure and agency peer‐production, we investigated interplay roles. Our study explored breadth roles Wikipedia (English version) their linkage various forms activities....

Abstract This article proposes the solver-aware system architecting framework for leveraging combined strengths of experts, crowds and specialists to design innovative complex systems. Although theory has extensively explored relationship between alternative architecture forms performance under operational uncertainty, limited attention been paid differences due who generates solutions.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, governments, policymakers, foundations, publishers, and researchers poured significant resources into scientific knowledge production on its impacts while also expanding access such research. The emphasis “open access” publishing model—a set of principles practices through which research outputs are distributed online, free cost barriers—was a boon studying crisis society in general, dismantling disciplinary socio-economic boundaries within academia as...
