Report of the Workshop on Concepts and Methods of Identifying Digital Potentials in Information Management

Recently a discussion has been instigated in the scientific community on whether our understanding of information management (IM) is still up to date[1]. A workshop on the concepts and methods of an additional IM perspective which intends to identify possible technology applications (by putting the primary focus on the possibilities offered by information technology rather than on the support of existing organisational functions and task structures) was held at the WI Conference 2019. This paper summarizes the conceptual input of the workshop and provides an overview of the initial workshop contributions

Study Of Digitalization Implementation Approach In Organizational Culture

The research has been successfully carried out. The dynamics of the international and national strategic environment have given impetus to organizational culture in exploring the digital realm through a digitalization approach. This study has the objective of describing conditions in Indonesia and several other countries in the Implementation of the Digitalization Approach in Organizational Culture. The method used in this research is a literature review approach. The data analysis carried out in this article uses a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) which is supported by references to ten articles on the same theme in this study. The results obtained are in the form of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threat conditions, when implementing the digitalization approach in organizational culture it has integrative and non-integrative comparisons between the literature and theories that are currently developing. This also illustrates that the digitalization approach applied in an organizational culture both in Indonesia and in other countries has varied strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats

Artificial intelligence as a strategic tool to reduce marine pollution - using expert interviews to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of integrating ai in the in-situ management of marine litter

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Sustainable Development are phenomena disrupting our society. This work analyzes how the breakthrough technology AI can be used as a strategic tool to minimize marine litter and contribute to achieving SDG 14. Expert interviews were conducted, and the results were categorized into the dimensions of a SWOT framework, indicating the factors that affect the potential of AI in the context. The overall results suggest that AI is not a panacea in the world of sustainable development, but it is a great strategic tool for marine litter management that is likely to improve in the future

SWOT Analysis of Batik Semarangan Competitiveness in The Disruption Era

The unique feature of batik semarangan lies in the concept of colour according to the characteristic of Semarang. This study aims to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the batik semarangan competitiveness in the era of disruption. A research method is a qualitative approach using primary data, namely data obtained directly from the object under study through procedures and data collection techniques in the form of observation and structured interviews. The data analysis technique used is SWOT analysis (strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). The validity test of the data includes the credibility test (internal validity) and the triangulation of sources. The results showed that (1) the strengths are the quality of batik, a very strategic location and support from the government to improve its business, and good relations with suppliers; (2) the weaknesses are the production process with simple technology, the lack of marketing for batik products, as well as elderly human resources with common knowledge; (3) the opportunity is that marketing is still extensive and can be done online; (4) the threat is the lack of regeneration of batik craftsmen, batik printing at lower prices. Business actors should increase their skills and creativity, improve product quality, and develop online marketing to increase competitiveness. This study also revealed several managerial implications, which are 1) policymakers must be present and participate in decision making, 2) ease of access to information, promotion and collaboration with batik business actors in big cities, 3) training and assistance to increase innovation and creativity, and 4) encouraging improved branding of batik semarangan. Keywords: disruption era, batik semarangan, competitiveness, SWO

Hybriding Technology In Organizational Communications In Government

The development of industry 4.0 has blurred the distance between the government and society through hybridization of technology that is applied by the government to support government transformation at the organizational and bureaucratic levels which can improve changes in organizational relations for the better. This can be seen from the new application that is used to become a bridge between the government and its citizens. In addition, the use of technology in the implementation of government performance that is more effective and efficient causes government organizations to be far from being as rigid as what has been attached to organizations so far. This research is a meta-synthesis research with a qualitative meta-aggregation approach. The results of the study show that based on the application of technology in government organizations, hybridization of technology within government organizations requires integration between information technology and social sciences, because technological hybridization is basically an organization that must be regulated

Automation, Digitalization, and Changes in Occupational Structures in the Automobile Industry in Germany, the United States, and Japan: A Brief History from the Early 1990s Until 2018

In the current public discussion, it is considered certain that we are living in a time of rapidly advancing automation, which is driven in particular by the use of robots. Accordingly, many academic publications use robot density as the central indicator of automation. The present study challenges this perspective. It examines two central questions: First, what approaches to automation and digitalization have been pursued in the automotive industry in Germany, Japan and the USA? Second, how have employment and its occupational composition in the automotive industry developed in the three countries? The first part of the study focuses on the development of automation and digitalization approaches in the automotive industry from the early 1990s until today. It combines a qualitative analysis of press articles and a quantitative evaluation of the development of the stock of industrial robots from 1993 to 2018 based on the statistics of the International Federation of Robotics. The second part of the study focuses on the change in employment structures using occupational statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (USA), the Federal Employment Agency (Germany) and the Statistics Bureau of Japan. The study questions the perception of an automation-related threat to employment and especially to production employment. At the same time, it discusses developments in Germany, Japan and the USA in comparison and highlights differences in automation and digitalization approaches as well as different paths of change in employment structures
