Translation theory has proved to be a versatile analytical lens used by scholars working from different traditions. On the basis of systematic literature review, this study adds understanding ‘translations’ translation identifying distinguishing features most common theoretical approaches within organization and management discipline: actor–network theory, knowledge‐based Scandinavian institutionalism. Although each these already borne much fruit in research, is diverse somewhat fragmented,...

Although institutional theory has become a more dominant perspective in information systems research, studies have only paid scant attention to how field dynamics and organizational processes coevolve during technology institutionalization. A

Insulin regulates glucose homeostasis via binding and activation of the insulin receptor dimer at two distinct pairs sites 1 2. Here, we present cryo-EM studies full-length human (hIR) in an active state obtained non-saturating, physiologically relevant conditions. binds asymmetrically to under these conditions, occupying up three four possible sites. Deletion analysis together with site specific peptides analogs used show that both 2 are required for high affinity. We identify a homotypic...

Practitioners and researchers are increasingly engaged interested in digital transformation leadership. However, the existing literature is fragmented we lack knowledge of competencies required by business leaders to facilitate transformation. In response, rely on a study draw inspiration from Competing Values Framework identify leadership competencies. We theorize four archetypical competency portfolios, which labeled according types who personify constituent competencies: challenger,...

Recent events have renewed attention to how organizations rely on digital resources in response exogenous shock. Though the literature organizational resilience indicates that this is best understood as a process through which actors respond specific shock, most IS research attends an outcome. Against backdrop, we present case study of university shifted virtual teaching government-imposed lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic. Adopting resourcing perspective allowed us reveal and way shaped it....

Organizational scholars are increasingly interested in understanding how ideas travel across an organizational field. While most studies focus on travelling translate into practices, we lack insights the broader issue of as they move among heterogeneous actors To explore this multidirectional ideas, build notion translation ecology to capture ongoing interactions field members involved work within and outside adopting organizations. develop our argument, draw from a longitudinal, 20-year...

Abstract While it is broadly agreed that managers face tensions between exploration of new possibilities and exploitation existing certainties, there are open questions related to how they can recognize these distribute resources the two forms learning across time space. The heavily cited 4I Model made significant progress towards addressing questions, based on idea unfold differently organizational levels, with as feed‐forward from individual level, feedback level. authors’ critical...

We introduce a dual-level translation perspective to advance new understandings of how management concepts are modified when they enter the public sector. concentrate on at two levels; field and organizational level, illustrate workings this dual approach by studying Leadership Pipeline in Danish municipalities. Our analysis reveals original translated into "Public Sector Pipeline", "field level model" inspired municipalities their translations. suggest that changing concept before it enters...

Abstract Change communication is a critical dimension for leading digital transformation. Existing literature predominantly theorizes change as part of the earliest stages transformation, but how it evolves over time to remain relevant in this context understudied. We address shortcoming through four‐year study transformation initiative local government's health care department. Drawing on narrative perspective, we offer processual account and describe ongoing communicative work public...

Researchers and practitioners are increasingly interested in understanding how organizations transform their value propositions practices using digital technologies. While the extant literature offers important empirical theoretical insights into transformation individual organizations, we know little about adopting within an organizational field react differently over time to same initiative. This is unfortunate, as such could help scholars managers understand option repertoires constraints...

Additionally, they include survey internet search for health-related information. Findings analysis Danish...

In this paper, we describe how a Danish problem-based learning university adapted to the circumstances surrounding coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Our findings reveal that digital mitigated some negative consequences appeared with lockdown and resulting shift 100 percent online teaching. While students prefer traditional face-to-face teaching mode due energy, variation, socialization associated on-campus learning, observed who have worked in project groups had more positive...

Abstract Renewing digital platforms is increasingly vital to ensure organisational performance and competitiveness. Managing such renewal challenging, however, because it requires organisations remove their exiting platform while at the same time building on practises that depend in order implement a new platform. Unfortunately, literature offers little guidance how launch manage this inherently complex process. Against backdrop, we conducted three‐year case study of local government...

Background: Mobile technologies have emerged as important tools that health care personnel can use to gain easy access client data anywhere. This is particularly useful for nurses and workers in home they provide services clients many different settings. Although a growing body of evidence supports the mobile technologies, diverse implications yet be fully documented. Objective: Our objective was examine large-scale government-sponsored implementation program Danish sector understand how...

The diffusion and adoption of information technology innovations (e.g. mobile technology) in healthcare organizations involves a dynamic process change with multiple stakeholders competing interests, varying commitments, conflicting values. Nevertheless, the extant literature on has predominantly focused individuals as unit analysis, little emphasis environment which are embedded. We propose social worlds approach promising theoretical lens for dealing this limitation together reports from...

The movement of robots from the production line to service sector provides a potentially radical solution innovate and transform public delivery. Although are increasingly being adopted in delivery (e.g., health- eldercare) enhance some cases substitute l abour-intensive services, administration research community is short on knowledge impact work processes carried out organizations how staff clients react toward robots. This case study investigates implementation use robot vacuum cleaners...

Today options for digital communication exist in all Danish municipalities. But are local councils aware of the democratic potentials new forms political communication? This article focuses on dimensions web design. To what extent do websites improve access to information public affairs and stimulate participation citizens politics? answer these questions, a screening 275 municipal was carried out two dimensions: information/transparency contact/dialogue. The findings show great variation...

This article explores the role of social media (essentially blogs) in 2011 Norwegian local election campaigns. We commence by developing a framework for investigating political communication using that conceptualises horizontal and vertical conversation along tw o dimensions: participants interaction. Next, we apply our case study blogs twelve municipalities multiple data sources. In contrast to democratic vision media, analysis demonstrates are primarily used those who politically active...


 Public organizations are increasingly paying attention to strategic communication. However, the extant literature on public sector communication is predominantly descriptive, exploring how performed in practice, with little emphasis why has become so popular. Drawing organizational institutional theory together reports from a case study of Danish local governments, we take first step towards explaining “all this communication”. Our results reveal normative and mimetic pressures occur,...

Whereas digital technologies are often depicted as being capable of disrupting long-standing power structures and facilitating new governance mechanisms, the reinforcement framework suggests that information communications tend to strengthen existing arrangements within public organizations. This article revisits 30-year-old by means an empirical analysis on use mobile technology in a large-scale programme Danish sector home care. It explores whether what extent administrative management has...
