A Systematic Review of the Literature on Digital Transformation: Insights and Implications for Strategy and Organizational Change (2020, background): “Change transfers and radiates across levels that can and, in the past, have often been viewed separately (Markus and Robey, 1988; Volkoff et al., 2007), as individuals, organizations and societies are concurrently affected and are connected through a nested hierarchy-like structure.”
Routines Revisited: Exploring the Capabilities and Practice Perspectives (2011, background): “While practice theorists stress that artifacts have different degrees of malleability (Leonardi & Barley, 2008 ; Orlikowski, 2007 ; Volkoff, Strong, & Elmes, 2007 ), work on routines from this perspective often fails to specify the conditions that surround the use of particular artifacts in parti”
Principles for Conducting Critical Realist Case Study Research in Information Systems (2012, background): “2007; Mingers 2004b; Smith 2006) or discussed the theoretical implications of CR (Mutch 2002, 2010), while a limited few have recently published empirical studies (de Vaujany 2008; Kirsch 2004; Morton 2006; Mutch 2002, 2010; Volkoff et al. 2007; Zachariadis et al. 2010) using CR as an underlying phi”
Theoretical foundations for the study of sociomateriality (2013, background): “Mutch (2002, 2010, this issue), Volkoff, Strong, and colleagues (Strong & Volkoff, 2010; Volkoff & Strong, 2013; Volkoff et al., 2007), and Faulkner and Runde (2013), have described the theoretical stance of critical realism – especially as it relates to studies of technology and organizing – well…”
When Flexible Routines Meet Flexible Technologies: Affordance, Constraint, and the Imbrication of Human and Material Agencies (2011, unknown): “Within this approach, scholars are beginning to recognize that people often enact their human agency in response to technology's material agency (Jones 1998; Pickering 2001; Volkoff et al. 2007).”
Research on information systems failures and successes: Status update and future directions (2014, background): “Related injunctions are to adopt world ’ s best practice (Volkoff et al. 2007), and to aim for systems integration by standardizing systems, consolidating data warehouses and so forth (Lee and Myers 2004).”
Methodological Implications of Critical Realism for Mixed-Methods Research (2013, background): “…historical narratives, etc.) are “epistemologically valid” (Tsoukas 1989, p. 556) and more capable of describing a phenomenon, constructing propositions (or hypothesizing), and identifying structures and interactions between complex mechanisms (Layder 1990; Sayer 2000; Volkoff et al. 2007).”
How Big Data Analytics Enables Service Innovation: Materiality, Affordance, and the Individualization of Service (2018, background): “In contrast, in human-machine service practices, human and material agencies interpenetrate in what Pickering (1995) referred to as the “mangle” of practice [36], and human agency is enacted in response to the technology’s material agency [21, 51].”
Artifacts that organize: Delegation in the distributed organization (2013, background): “Just as organizational researchers have noted with enterprise resource planning systems (Boudreau & Robey, 2005; Pollock&Williams, 2008; Volkoff et al., 2007), these highly automated infrastructures transform organizing in ways that go far beyond efficiency-based metrics.”
Digital transformation by SME entrepreneurs: A capability perspective (2018, unknown): “As the digital platform evolves and grows, the digital platform provider keeps updating the available services and refining and modifying the business rules (Tan et al., 2015) to meet the ever ‐ changing demands from the market and users (Volkoff, Strong, & Elmes, 2007).”
