Abstact:<\/strong><\/p>\n Current thinking about emerging technology tends to focus on features and affordances of single artifacts, often in isolation, inserted into one existing way of organizing, often a single process. In contrast, we propose a theory that is focused on networks of relations between technology-enabled actions in a dynamic network of organizing. Our theory offers a novel explanation for how emerging technology can generate rapid, transformative change in how we organize our actions. We build on current theories of network dynamics and technology-in-use and consider what happens to an on-going pattern of action when new artifacts arrive on the scene, i.e., when emerging technology influences the emergence of organizing paths in the network. We use a computer-based simulation to demonstrate our theory. Our specific contribution resides in the focus on network paths as a central explanatory mechanism for emergent, transformative change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Towards a Dynamic Network Theory of Organizing and Emerging Technology by Jan Recker Alexander-von-Humboldt Fellow Chaired Professor for Information Systems University of Cologne Friday, Nov 13 10 \u2013 11 am | Zoom (send an email to ayabakan@temple.edu to get the Zoom link) Abstact: Current thinking about emerging technology tends to focus on features and affordances […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17227,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[838375,23183,68679],"class_list":{"0":"post-1316","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized","7":"tag-dynamic-network-theory","8":"tag-emerging-technology","9":"tag-simulation","10":"entry"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17227"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1316"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1316\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1317,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1316\/revisions\/1317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/seminars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
