The second-hand automotive market is one with the least trust from consumers. Customers on the second-hand car market suffer from such problems as the car being in worse condition than initially indicated, accident damage that is not disclosed, fraud, etc. Akerlof, described the market for used cars as an example of the problem of information asymmetries and resulting quality uncertainty. In order to cope with quality uncertainties, used car buyers actively engage themselves in information seeking. Blockchain technology promises to automatize the tracking of cars through their lifecycles and provide reliable information at any point in time it is needed. In our study, we investigate the problems car buyers face during information seeking and propose requirements for the design of a blockchain-based system to address these.}, issn = {1019-6781}, doi = {10.1007/s12525-019-00380-9}, author = {Zavolokina, L and Miscione, G and Schwabe, G} } @article {miscione2020decisionshoes, title = {Decision Problems in Blockchain Systems: old wine in new bottles of walking in someone else shoes?}, journal = {Journal of Management Information Systems}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, abstract = {Blockchain technology comes with the promise of being a disruptive technology with the potential for novel ways of interaction in a wide range of applications.

The blockchain technology challenges the view on established modes of governance by offering distributed authentication without the need for a central authority, which is well-exemplified by Bitcoin. While the governance of and through Bitcoin is well-accentuated in research, we spotlight impacts on governance which blockchain-based systems bring to inter-organizational settings as well as their purpose. To build our arguments, we explore those impacts on two contrasting cases from the domains of automotive and public administration and relate them to cryptocurrencies. Relying on interviews with experts from said organizations utilizing blockchain technology, and a content analysis of related grey literature, we discuss established forms of governance as well as platforms and infrastructures against the impacts which blockchain-based systems cause. After referring those to the concepts of markets, hierarchies, networks, and tribes, we critically reflect on their purpose by utilizing the notions of infrastructures and platforms, and conclude blockchain-based systems to possibly alter the way established modes of governance are enacted.}, isbn = {9780996683173}, author = {Ziolkowski, R and Miscione, G and Schwabe, G} } @article {1361,

Drawing on Pickering{\textquoteright}s alternative {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}performative idiom{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} for science, and extending it to participatory forms of social research, we propose alternative validity claims for practice-oriented research.

While this notion rightly invites us to reconsider the way we traditionally approach the question of materiality and organizing, we believe that its formulation tends to implicitly reproduce the gap it claims to fill.

Throughout the analysis of an episode taken from fieldwork devoted to creative teams, we show that things as abstract as ideas, for instance, in order to emerge, exist, and continue to exist, have to materialize themselves in various identifiable beings.

In contrast, IS research focuses on relationships in-the-making between artificial things and human beings. In the IS context, we have identified vagueness in temporal and relational ontology: when do affordances exist and between whom or what? In this paper, we delve into the temporal and relational questions that have been omitted in much of the IS literature. What kind of a relationship is an affordance and when does it occur? Based on our hermeneutic understanding, we identify four stances from the existing literature. We classify those stances as canonical affordance, designed affordance, potential affordance, and affordance as completed action.

We find, as might be expected, that with the increased use of ICT real estate agents are less involved as information intermediaries and yet are more deeply embedded into the processes of buying and selling of houses: they are more socially embedded. We find, as expected, that uses of ICT are now pervasive in this industry. However, the ways in which these ICT are used help agents to embed themselves more deeply into the transacting of real estate rather than serving as vehicles for disintermediation.

National and international policies on treating HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) positive women in India are based on case counts at Voluntary Counseling and Testing Centers (VCTCs). In this study, carried out in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, these centers are located in subdistricts called mandals, serving for both registration and health facility policies. This study hypothesizes that people may move to a mandal different than their place of residence for being tested for reasons of stigma. Counts of a single mandal therefore may include cases from inside and outside a mandal. HIV counts were analyzed on the presence of outside cases and the most likely explanations for movement. Counts of women being tested on a practitioners{\textquoteright} referral (REFs) and those directly walking-in at testing centers (DWs) were compared and with counts of pregnant women.Results: At the mandal level incidence among REFs is on the average higher than among DWs. For both groups incidence is higher in the South-Eastern coastal zones, being an area with a dense highway network and active port business. A pattern on the incidence maps was statistically confirmed by a cluster analysis. A spatial regression analysis to explain the differences in incidence among pregnant women and REFs shows a negative relation with the number of facilities and a positive relation with the number of roads in a mandal. Differences in incidence among pregnant women and DWs are explained by the same variables, and by a negative relation with the number of neighboring mandals. Based on the assumption that pregnant women are tested in their home mandal, this provides a clear indication that women move for testing as well as clues for explanations why.Conclusions: The spatial analysis shows that women in India move towards a different mandal for getting tested on HIV. Given the scale of study and different types of movements involved, it is difficult to say where they move to and what the precise effect is on HIV registration. Better recording the addresses of tested women may help to relate HIV incidence to population present within a mandal. This in turn may lead to a better incidence count and therefore add to more reliable policy making, e.g. for locating or expanding health facilities. {\textcopyright} 2010 Kandwal et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.}, doi = {10.1186/1476-072X-9-18}, author = {Kandwal, R and Augustijn, EW and Stein, A and Miscione, G and Garg, PK and Garg, RD} } @article {miscione2010globetrotting, title = {Globetrotting health information systems}, journal = {Journal of Health Informatics in Developing Countries}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, year = {2010}, author = {Miscione, Gianluca and Damtew, Zufan and Molla, Selamawit and {\O}stmo, Inger Elise and Staring, Knut and S{\ae}bo, Johan and Sun, Violeta} } @article {miscione2010globetrottingsystems, title = {Globetrotting Health Information Systems}, journal = {Journal of Health Informatics in Developing Countries}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, year = {2010}, author = {Miscione, G and Damtew, Z and Molla, S and {\O}stmo, IE and Staring, K and S{\ae}bo, J and Sun, V} } @conference {1187, title = {Knowledge Management Challenges for Nongovernment Organizations: The Health and Disability Sector in New Zealand}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Australasian Conference on Information Systems}, volume = {94}, year = {2010}, note = {This paper won the Emerald Publishing Award for the Best Knowledge Management paper at ACIS 2010}, pages = {1-12}, type = {Conference Proceedings}, url = {http://aisel.aisnet.org/acis2010/94}, author = {Soakell-Ho, Michelle and Michael D.

Through examining various phases of a long term project to implement information systems for the public health care sector in resource-poor countries, we highlight changing sources of acceptance and legitimation. The analysis centers on the balance between local and global levels, from pilot sites, through an emerging broader organizational field, to increasingly involving national level institutional settings. In parallel to the established view of the scaling of ICT implementations as relating to complexity and risk in the form of unintended side-effects of the growth of a system, the authors highlight the qualitative switch between regulatory contexts. Shifting relations to local institutions means that scalability requires actors to interact with quite different organizational cultures, accountabilities and communicative practices.

With regard to their restricted resources, SMEs are facing a limited capacity for innovation to compete with new challenges in a complex and dynamic competitive environment. Given this context, SMEs need to increasingly cooperate to generate innovations on an extended resource base. Our research project focuses on the aspect of open innovation in SME-networks enabled by Web 2.0 applications and referring to innovative solutions of non-competitive daily life problems. Examples are industrial safety, work-life balance issues or pollution control. The project raises the question whether the use of Web 2.0 applications can foster the exchange of creativity and innovative ideas within a network of SMEs and hence catalyze new forms of innovation processes among its participants. Using Web 2.0 applications within SMEs implies consequently breaking down innovation processes to employees{\textquoteright} level and thus systematically opening up a heterogeneous and broader knowledge base to idea generation. In this paper we address first steps on a roadmap towards Web 2.0-based open innovation processes within SME-networks. It presents a general framework for interaction activities leading to open innovation and recommends a regional marketplace as a viable, trust-building driver for further collaborative activities. These findings are based on field research within a specific SME-network in Rhineland-Palatinate Germany, the {\textquotedblleft}WirtschaftsForum Neuwied e.V.{\textquotedblright}, which consists of roughly 100 heterogeneous SMEs employing about 8,000 workers. }, issn = {978-3-642-02387-3}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-02388-0_3}, author = {Lindermann, Nadine and Valc{\'a}rcel, Sylvia and Schaarschmidt, Mario and von Kortzfleisch, Harald} } @proceedings {859, title = {What do we like about the IS field?}, year = {2009}, pages = {1-3}, address = {Phoenix, AZ}, url = {http://aisel.aisnet.org/}, author = {John L.

Implicit in the dramatic proclamations that have accompanied this worldwide shift to the service economy is a subtext about the displacement and subordination of products. The notion of displacement speaks, in a straightforward way, to the diminishing relative importance that material products play in production and consumption and, hence, in providing opportunities for employment. That information and communication technology (ICT) enabled innovation has played a crucial role in the emerging dominance of services is well known, for example, in all aspects of financial service sectors. Subordination is more interesting because it has to do with the changing and unsettled relationship between products and services and, indeed, ambiguity in the very definition of {\textquotedblleft}service{\textquotedblright} itself. This subordination has taken a variety of forms: {\textbullet}\  Producers and purveyors of products add information-intensive service dimensions in order to enhance relationships with customers and, in some cases, to generate network effects among the customers themselves (e.g., Amazon.com{\textquoteright}s online customer reviews of books and data-based book recommendations). {\textbullet}\  Products themselves have become servicitized in the sense that a product comes with a service component that is crucial in fully constituting the product as a meaningful {\textquotedblleft}solution{\textquotedblright} for the purchaser (Vandermerwe and Rada 1988). The delivery of these components is often ICT-enabled (e.g., call centers in support of consumer electronic products). {\textbullet}\  We witness the servicitization of products in an alternative sense, where the purchaser never takes possession of the material product but rather subscribes to the service that the product provides, with the purveyor maintaining ownership of the physical asset (e.g., ASP models of computer or software use and outsourcing of certain other kinds). }, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-09768-8_25}, author = {Ramiller, Neil and Elizabeth Davidson and Wagner, Erica and Steve Sawyer} } @article {311, title = {Abstraction in Computer Science}, journal = {Minds and Machines}, volume = {17}, year = {2007}, month = {2007/07/01/}, pages = {169 - 184}, abstract = {We characterize abstraction in computer science by first comparing the fundamental nature of computer science with that of its cousin mathematics.

This takes forms ranging from telemedicine consultations to using simulations and information and communication technology representations to plan, and at times, perform clinical procedures such as are done in intensive care units or in surgery. The increasing reliance on computer-mediated interaction in health care generally is considered the means to more efficient, equitable, and cost-effective care with reduced errors. Clinical work, then, may be carried out with simulated images and processes rather than through such physical processes as examining the patient directly. Instead of treating the actual person, one result may be that clinicians are treating computer-mediated representations of that person. This session explores virtuality in health care environments, with a particular focus on the virtual patient. Panelists discuss treating representations of patients by addressing how: (1) usability studies reveal the extent to which physicians may pay more attention to representations of the patient condition rather than to the actual patient, (2) images may be considered as more real than the patient, (3) different graphic representations of patient data have different consequences, and (4) virtuality affects quality of care in virtual intensive care units. From different research and theoretical perspectives and studies in these different environments with different technologies, panelists discuss repercussions of virtuality on teamwork and service delivery in health care. Their presentations of developments leading towards virtual patients point towards significant issues of virtuality in other environments.}, doi = {10.1007/978-0-387-73025-7_31}, author = {Bonnie Kaplan and Elkin, Peter and Gorman, Paul and Koppel, Ross and Sites, Frank and Talmon, Jan} } @article {375, title = {Virtuality and Virtualization}, year = {2007}, pages = {1 - 7}, abstract = {In today{\textquoteright}s rapidly changing global work environment, all workers directly experience increased organizational complexity.

The paper, being part of the tradition of critical research in IS, uses the example of managing digital divides to argue that a traditional view of management (here called heroic management) leads to conceptual problems. It will develop two basic arguments that undermine the possibility of responsible heroic management of digital divides: (1) Normative issues related to digital divides cannot be managed because management is part of the construction of the problem and therefore lacks the detached and objective viewpoint required for rational management. (2) The very concept of responsibility, if taken seriously and applied responsibly (here called reflective responsibility) requires a participative approach that contradicts the traditional top-down approach of heroic management.

First, it describes the phenomenon of weblogging and conceptualizes it, discussing significant attributes of weblogs that set it apart from traditional communication means. Second, it establishes a framework grounded in the theory of communities of practice that provides a lens to study the potential role of weblogging in organizational communication. The research approach is qualitative and analysis is done by interpreting the content of a weblog through a hermeneutic approach. Weblogging can be seen to foster social inclusion based on its characteristics and nature. Our study shows that by its features of interaction and informality, weblogging cultivates social inclusion, particularly that of employees working in a corporation.
