PublicationOrganizational unlearning as a process: What we know, what we don’t know, what we should know( 2024-04-23)
;Adrian Klammer ;Nhien NgyuenShih-wei HsuAlthough the field of organizational unlearning has recently gained increased interest, its conceptual foundations and raison d’être are still debated. In this review, we aim to revisit various discourses and arguments to advance the understanding of organizational unlearning in management and organization studies. Using an integrative literature review approach with systematic elements, we examine the existing body of research on organizational unlearning. We review the literature from different perspectives, focusing on a process-based understanding in terms of why and how organizations intentionally discard knowledge. Based on our review, we develop an integrative framework that portrays organizational unlearning as a dynamically unfolding process over time. We propose implications and offer research directions that will allow future researchers to develop a more profound understanding of the concept.Type: journal articleJournal: Management Review QuarterlyVolume: forthcoming -
PublicationWe are all pattern makers! How a flat ontology connects organizational routines and grand challenges( 2024-01-01)
;Kathrin Sele ;Christian A. Mahringer ;Anja Danner-schröderBirgit RenzlAdopting a flat ontology, we discuss how phenomena of societal concern are connected to organizational routines. We conceptualize grand challenges as large patterns of actions to overcome the micro-macro divide prevalent in existing research. We introduce spatial, temporal, and agentic relations as three interrelated aspects of scale that are of particular interest and demonstrate how social phenomena may be approached through these relations. Focusing on the situated enactment of routines allows us to identify weakening and strengthening between actors and their actions as important processes that reflect the continuous patterning of grand challenges. We contribute to the literature by highlighting the consequentiality of mundane actions and by questioning the dominant approach to change in research on grand challenges. Our insights offer several practical implications for intervening on grand challenges.Type: journal articleJournal: Strategic OrganizationVolume: forthcoming -
PublicationGenerating impactful situated explanations through digital trace data( 2024-03-01)
;Waldemar Kremser ;Jan Mendling ;Jan Recker ;Jan Vom BrockeBastian WurmProgressively, information systems (IS) researchers draw on digital trace data to capture the emergent dynamics of today’s digitalized world. Digital trace data enable researchers to generate highly context-specific insights into the features and dynamics of socio-technical phenomena. We suggest how IS researchers can use digital trace data to develop situated explanations, that is, explanations that capture the idiosyncratic features of real-world problems in order to generate impactful solutions to these problems. We outline five key principles to build situated explanations based on digital trace data. We make several suggestions on how the information system field can adjust its research and publication practices to embrace the development and dissemination of situated explanations.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Information TechnologyVolume: 39Issue: 1
