The recent surge of interest in "digital transformation" is
changing the business landscape and posing several challenges, both
organizational and sectoral. This transformation involves the
application of digital technology in all aspects of business, and
enables organizations to create new products and services, and to
find more efficient ways of doing business. Moreover, the digital
transformation is happening within and across organizations of all
types and in every industry, producing a disruptive innovation that
can break down the barriers between people and organizations, and
help create more adaptive processes. In the information age, it is
imperative for organizations to develop IT-related capabilities
that allow them to leverage the potential of digital technologies.
Due to the pervasive effects of this transformation on processes,
firms and industries, both scholars and practitioners are
interested in better understanding the key mechanisms behind the
emergence and evolution of the digital business transformation.
This book presents a collection of research papers focusing on the
relationships between technologies (e.g., digital platforms, AI,
blockchain, etc.), processes (e.g., decision-making, co-creation,
financial, compliance, etc.), and organizations (e.g., smart
organizations, digital ecosystems, Industry 4.0, collaborative
networked organizations, etc.), which have been categorized into
three major areas: organizing, managing and controlling. It also
provides critical insights into how the digital transformation is
enhancing organizational processes and firms' performance through
an exploration and exploitation of internal resources, and through
the establishment of external connections and linkages. The
plurality of views offered makes this book particularly relevant
for users, companies, scientists, and governments. The content of
the book is based on a selection of the best papers (original
double-blind peer-reviewed contributions) presented at the annual
conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, which was held in
Naples, Italy in September 2019.
The recent surge of interest in digital ecosystems is not only
transforming the business landscape, but also poses several human
and organizational challenges. Due to the pervasive effects of the
transformation on firms and societies alike, both scholars and
practitioners are interested in understanding the key mechanisms
behind digital ecosystems, their emergence and evolution. In order
to disentangle such factors, this book presents a collection of
research papers focusing on the relationship between technologies
(e.g. digital platforms, AI, infrastructure) and behaviours (e.g.
digital learning, knowledge sharing, decision-making). Moreover, it
provides critical insights into how digital ecosystems can shape
value creation and benefit various stakeholders. The plurality of
perspectives offered makes the book particularly relevant for
users, companies, scientists and governments. The content is based
on a selection of the best papers - original double-blind
peer-reviewed contributions - presented at the annual conference of
the Italian chapter of the AIS, which took place in Pavia, Italy in
October 2018.
This book explores the premise that organizations are significantly
influenced by their inter-organizational relationships; moreover,
these relationships may generate important externalities, both
positive and negative, impacting the environment at several levels.
The advent of the Internet era, on the other hand, has resulted in
disruptive changes in traditional inter-organizational networks,
and some completely new inter-organizational settings are now
arising. In its first part the book reviews the most commonly cited
theories explaining inter-organizational phenomena: transaction
costs economics, agency theory, resource dependence theory, game
theories, collaborative networks theory, institutional theories,
organizational ecology, resource-based / relational-based view of
the firm, and knowledge network / social network theories. In Part
II it thoroughly reviews the literature on a number of key
IT-enabled inter-organizational systems currently on the rise, such
as virtual organizations, e-intermediators and e-marketplaces.
Lastly, Part III presents the case of the Yoox Group, a leading
firm offering e-commerce services for fashion and design products.
A framework is proposed for systematically linking the different
possible types of inter-organizational relationships to specific,
suitable sets of theories. The range of possible
inter-organizational relationships is described on the basis of
three pairs of opposites: conformism-breach,
exploitation-exploration, and cooperation-competition. This results
in a model that makes it possible to combine different theories in
order to study the effects of inter-organizational ambidexterity
and dynamism on performance.
This book presents a collection of original research papers
focusing on emerging issues regarding the role of information and
communication technologies in organizations, inter-organizational
systems, and society. It adopts an inter-disciplinary approach,
allowing for the integration of contributions from various
disciplines such as information systems, organizational studies,
marketing, accounting, and social sciences. This book offers
valuable insights not only for scholars, but also for
practitioners, managers, and policy makers. The book is a
compilation of the best research papers - originally double blind,
peer-reviewed contributions - presented at the ICTO 2015 conference
held in Paris.

In today's networked economy, each organization is more and more
shaped by the system of its long-term business interactions.
Innovation processes cannot be successfully designed and managed
unless the complex influences of business networking on innovation
processes and innovation-related performances are clearly
understood. But extant theories on business networks are
fragmented, and each of them, taken singularly, provides only
partial or poor understanding of the impacts of business networking
on innovation performances. Based on qualitative research on three
exemplary worst practices and on expert panel discussion and
validation, Francesca Ricciardi develops novel quantitative models
in this theory-building work to explain innovation performances in
different interorganizational networks.
