The 4Rs: A collective reflexive methodology for realising critical self?transformation in ICT4D research practice

Sep 14th, 2024 | By

Abstract The “critical turn” in information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) research emphasises a transformative and ethical research practice which can be addressed by developing the critical intent and agency of ICT4D researchers through reflexive practice. There exist, however, limited methodological insights into existing reflexive approaches and a limited understanding of how self-transformation and

Token?based reviewer economies: Proposed institutions for managing the reviewer shortage problem

Sep 9th, 2024 | By

Abstract This opinion paper presents two proposed token-based systems to fix the information system academy’s review system. At present, the review system consumes more human resources than the information systems academy has by an order of magnitude. The cost of this overflow is borne entirely by information systems researchers. I argue this is because the

Extending the process frontier of digital transformation: A flow?oriented perspective

Aug 28th, 2024 | By

Abstract Strong interest in digital transformation to increase business value calls for new and improved theorising of the digital transformation process. Traditional perspectives fail to address the complex socio-technological challenges and entanglement of actions at multiple levels that characterise the process. This research adopts a flow-oriented perspective to extend the process frontier of digital transformation.

Can information and communication technology drive effective spatial governance in rural areas? Emergency of e?participation ecosystem from rural China

Aug 16th, 2024 | By

Abstract The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in rural areas holds significant potential for facilitating active participation of villagers in spatial governance processes. While previous research has primarily focused on the role of e-participation tools in rural governance, there exists a knowledge gap regarding substantive villager participation within intricate systems. This study explores

Leveraging digital tools to foster resilience in the charity sector: The case of eBay’s Charity Connect initiative

Aug 14th, 2024 | By

Abstract Digital tools can help mitigate serious threats to social and economic activity created by external shocks and reduced government funding. This paper complements Information Technology for Development (IT4D) studies of resilience by focusing on how the introduction of new digital tools can sustain both economic and social activities, potentially leading to further adaptations. It

Making space for time: Strategies for the design of time?aware hybrid work

Aug 13th, 2024 | By

Abstract Time is central to many debates about hybrid work- the impact on speed and productivity, commute times, and synchronisation of work. However, we argue that time is often over-simplified in extant hybrid work literature and tends to ignore many temporal concepts that capture the inherently complex, multi-faceted, subtle, and socially embedded nature of time.
