ItemNo Preview AvailableAn Ecosystem Governance Lens for Public Sector Digital Transformation(IGI Global, 2022)The world's public sectors continue to introduce and struggle with digital transformation programs, responding to new demands and requirements to provide and interact with stakeholders. Far from merely digitizing services for efficiency, these changes respond to the sociotechnical reconfiguration of interdependent technology, people, relationships, culture, and organizational structures. This chapter presents a case study of digital transformation in the New Zealand public sector, examining the role of governance mechanisms in enabling this complex sociotechnical reconfiguration. The chapter draws from the increasingly prevalent lens of ecosystems in the strategy, information technology, and marketing literature to frame and investigate ecosystem governance mechanisms as central to the process of digital transformation.

ItemArt Investment Collections: Considerations for Museums(MuseumsEtc, 2021)This chapter examines conflicting views about whether to consider artwork as a financial asset, considering potential tradeoffs in terms of stakeholder trust, and suggests a museum investment collection as one option. This would not engender stakeholder concerns about selling art in the permanent collection. It also affirms museum association guidance that proceeds from sales of permanent collection items can only be used for new acquisitions or direct care.

ItemQualitative methods for studying age and work(SIOP Organizational Frontier Series, 2022)In this chapter, we describe and discuss innovative ways for employing qualitative methods in the field of age and work. Our aim is to inspire researchers to explore how qualitative methods may allow them to address research questions that they have so far been unable to examine using quantitative methods alone. We provide an introduction to qualitative research methods by outlining core characteristics of these methods, opportunities they afford, challenges researchers need to manage, and giving recommendations for their application. We also introduce a taxonomy that connects key dimensions of aging research with core aims of qualitative research, develop research questions that emerge from this taxonomy, and illustrate how qualitative methods can advance the research domain of age and work.

ItemArchitecting leadership development through enhanced cognitive versatility(Sage Publications, 2020)Many L&D leaders are exploring a range of cutting-edge topics such as adaptive leadership, agility, mindfulness, and versatility in thinking styles as development needs for their high potentials and senior leadership pipelines. Leadership development for organisations operating in very high flux adaptive contexts needs a different model than the traditional centralised planning, command and control approach. Conventional approaches focus on one-size-fits-all external thinking stimuli, team diversity and a Western bias for conscious analytic reasoning. Organizations should also focus on (a) grooming key individuals with high cognitive versatility and (b) better tailoring their choice of external thinking stimuli, as individuals respond most effectively to stimuli that challenge their preferred thinking style. Multiple forms of intuition exist, and some slow forms should be nurtured for complex strategic thinking. Organizations in high flux adaptive contexts should strive to emphasize themes of Strategic thinking or strategy as synthesis, which leverage the brain more holistically to recognise and resolve complex patterns.

ItemField Experiments in Routine Dynamics(Cambridge University Press, 2021)Experimental approaches are gaining in popularity across disciplines, ranging from behavioral sciences to economics. In this chapter, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of field experiments and review their use by scholars to study routine dynamics. Based on these, we suggest that field experiments hold further promise to study routines given their potential to develop and test theory, while achieving internal and external validity. To further the adoption of field experiments to study routines, we outline a five-step procedure, including research questions and hypotheses, context and research setting, treatment and design, measurement and statistical tests, and managing field experiments. We conclude by discussing potential research questions and contexts suitable for field experiments.

ItemInstitutionalizing Authenticity in the Digitized World of Music(Emerald Publishing, 2018)Since the arrival of mass production, commodification has been plaguing markets – none more so than that for music. By separating production and consumption in space and time, commodification challenges the very conditions underlying economic exchange. This chapter explores authenticity as the institutional response to the commodification of music, rekindling the relationship between isolated market participants in the increasingly digitized world of music. Building upon the “Production of Culture” perspective, we unpack the commodification of music across five different institutional realms – (1) production, (2) consumption, (3) selection, (4) appropriation, and (5) classification – and provide a thoroughly relational account of authenticity as an institutional practice.
