In today’s dynamic business environment, organizations constantly change their business models to respond to emerging digital technologies and shifting customer expectations. It is a fundamental challenge to translate these changes into the organization’s operating model. When organizations...

Data is ubiquitous in today’s digitized society. However, access to and literacy in handling data plays a pivotal role in determining who can benefit from it and who can use—or potentially misuse—it. To combat inequalities and address issues such as misinformation, it is essential to...

While blood is crucial for many surgeries and patient treatments worldwide, it cannot be produced artificially. Fulfilling the demand for blood products on average days is already a major challenge in countries like South Africa and Ghana. In these countries, less than 1 % of the population...

Digital transformation and sustainability transformation are at the top of organizations’ agendas to remain competitive. While guidance on both transformations exists separately, even more research on integrating digital and sustainability transformation, namely twin transformation, is...

Despite an omnipresent call for public e-services, the potential of digitalization in the public sector is still untapped. A promising means to increase the use of public e-services may be explainability. In this study, we follow the Design Science Research methodology to propose and evaluate...

Information technology/information systems investments are critical for business success. However, managers often face the challenge of prioritizing and selecting projects that better satisfy their needs, mainly due to the high number of options available and limited resources. Since investment...

Background: Sustainability in food supply chains is desired for production, logistics, and waste management. However, food supply chains (SCs) have complex systems that differ from other SCs. Managing such complexities is challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to their...

Purpose This study aims to propose a framework for the development of implementation guidelines (IGs) that can help consultants mitigate not-invented-here (NIH) syndrome during a consultant intervention as a specific type of knowledge transfer. Design/methodology/approach The authors adopted a...

Purpose This study investigates the application of collaborative inquiry within innovation management, employing platform thinking to address challenges of generalizability and relevance. The aim is to integrate Collaborative Inquiry methods, characterized by participatory, diffuse, and...

Abstract Organizations have to adjust to changes in the ecosystem, and customer feedback systems (CFS) provide important information to adapt products and services to changing customer preferences. However, current systems are limited to single-dimensional rating scales and are subject to...

An organization's ability to develop Machine Learning (ML) applications depends on its available resource base. Without awareness and understanding of all relevant resources as well as their impact on the ML lifecycle, we risk inefficient allocations as well as missing monopolization tendencies....

Major challenges in contemporary information systems development demand new development approaches, such as innovation ecosystems, consisting of a focal innovation platform surrounded by independent developers. The attraction of third-party developers and the amplification of generativity in...

Die digitale Transformation von Geschäftsprozessen und die stärkere Integration von IT-Systemen führen zu Chancen und Risiken für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU). Risiken, die zu fehlender IT-Governance, Risk und Compliance (GRC) führen können. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die...

Renewable energies provide effective sustainable development by raising living standards, accelerating economic growth, and mitigating pollution. However, specifically in developing countries, the lack of information, data, and local expertise challenges the design process and long-term success...

Dieser Artikel zeigt die positiven Wirkeffekte des gezielten Einsatzes von Data Analytics im Umfeld von Energiedaten auf, um ein nutzerzentriertes Energy Information System (EIS) für Privatkunden zu designen. Auf Basis der Methode des Design Science Research wurden aus realen Nutzerproblemen...

Since the European information economy faces insufficient access to and joint utilization of data, data ecosystems increasingly emerge as economical solutions in B2B environments. Contrarily, in B2C ambits, concepts for sharing and monetizing personal data have not yet prevailed, impeding growth...

Im Rahmen des nutzerzentrierten Entwickelns von Dienstleistungen werden häufig Personas herangezogen. Durch die Beschreibung der unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften, Bedürfnisse, Ziele und Verhaltensweisen der verschiedenen Kundengruppen in Form von Personas können sich Designer,...

Strategic Networks (SNs) consist of dozens to hundreds of organizations that work together to achieve common goals but remain legally independent. Because most SNs are managed by hired professionals rather than member companies, more structured governance models are recommended as the number of...
