Factors Contributing to the Business Digital Divide: A Systematic Literature Review

The main aim of this study is to review the literature relating to the factors that contribute to the business digital divide. A systematic literature review was conducted using two databases (Scopus and Web of Science). A total of 28 articles were selected and analyzed. The selected studies are conducted in various developing and developed countries, including all firm sizes and different sectors, and cover several different digital technologies. Identified factors determining the business digital divide are categorized as technological, organizational, and environmental factors. The discussion and the potentials for further research are also presented

What is it about humanity that we can't give away to intelligent machines? A European perspective

One of the most significant recent technological developments concerns the development and implementation of ‘intelligent machines’ that draw on recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. However, there are growing tensions between human freedoms and machine controls. This article reports the findings of a workshop that investigated the application of the principles of human freedom throughout intelligent machine develop- ment and use. Forty IS researchers from ten different countries discussed four contemporary AI and humanity issues and the most relevant IS domain challenges. This article summarizes their experiences and opinions regarding four AI and humanity themes: Crime & conflict, Jobs, Attention, and Wellbeing. The outcomes of the workshop discussions identify three attributes of humanity that need preservation: a critique of the design and application of AI, and the intelligent machines it can create; human involvement in the loop of intelligent ma- chine decision-making processes; and the ability to interpret and explain intelligent machine decision-making processes. The article provides an agenda for future AI and humanity researchpublishedVersio

Digital Transformation in Healthcare: Enabling Employee Co-Creation through Web 2.0

This article argues that employee co-creation, enabled by web 2.0 technologies, can contribute to successful digital transformation of healthcare services. The question of how to enable effective employee co-creation is under-researched (Lenka et al. 2017; Galvagno and Dalli 2014). Employee participation in co-creation is stated as an important enabler of digitalization and service improvements (Grönroos and Voima 2012). The Nordic Model for employee participation has proven successful for enhancing working life effectiveness and innovation (Nielsen et al. 2012). This article propose that these principles of employee participation can be further enhanced by using web 2.0 technologies for Enterprise Social Networks. The article concludes with a discussion of consequences for the digital transformation of healthcare services as well as implications for research and practice

Exploring the role of process orientation in healthcare service innovation: the case of digital night surveillance.

The purpose of this article is to close a gap in the literature on the role of process management for service innovations in the eHealth setting. We conducted an explorative case study of the nature and impact of process orientation for service innovations in the context of eHealth. Interviews and surveys over two subsequent years were combined and revealed that the relevance and importance of process orientation grew as the project progressed. Process documentation, support from management, knowledge on process improvement and use of IT tools, and a culture supporting process work appeared as challenges to service innovations. Surveys to informants from the organizations participating in the project, over two successive years, allowed a further test of how the dimensions of process orientation could explain the level of service innovations experienced by the participants. We found significant correlations between process culture and service innovations, and other project related outcomes

The SmartSight Project: Use of Electronic Glasses to Improve Impaired Fields of Vision

Electronic glasses use advanced assistive technology that can improve function for persons with visual impairments. This paper presents work in progress in the SmartSight project, where existing versions of electronic glasses are adapted and tested for persons with the visual impairments; macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. The project aims are to adapt and innovate electronic glasses for persons with impaired fields of vision and study the impact on the daily function and quality of life. In a pilot test of the electronic glasses, promising results were found that imply a big difference for persons with impaired vision. The outcome of the SmartSight project might change the clinical practise on treatment and rehabilitation of persons with impaired fields of vision, and on how the support services are organised
