AI and Digital Transformation in Organizations : A Study of How Artificial Intelligence Affects Organizational Learning
No full textArtificiell intelligens (AI) har blivit en allt mer central del av organisationers digitala transformation och påverkar hur arbete organiseras, utförs och förstås inom IT-beroende arbetssystem. Trots det ökande intresset för AI:s strategiska och tekniska möjligheter har begränsad uppmärksamhet ägnats åt hur AI upplevs och tolkas av medarbetare i deras dagliga arbete, särskilt i relation till organisatoriskt lärande och kompetensutveckling. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka hur medarbetare i operativa och taktiska yrkesroller uppfattar införandet av AI i olika IT-beroende arbetsprocesser, samt hur dessa uppfattningar hänger samman med förändringar i lärande inom ramen för digital transformation. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsansats baserad på semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med yrkesverksamma från olika organisatoriska sammanhang. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats genom tematisk kodning, där både deduktiva och induktiva kodningsstrategier har kombinerats. Analysen har sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i Work System Theory och ett sociotekniskt perspektiv, vilket möjliggör en granskning av samspelet mellan teknik, mänskliga aktörer, information och arbetsprocesser. Resultaten visar att AI i huvudsak uppfattas som ett stödjande verktyg snarare än som en genomgripande förändringskraft. Förändringar i arbetsprocesser och arbetssätt sker gradvis och på individnivå, där AI integreras i befi ntliga rutiner snarare än genom omfattande organisatoriska omstruktureringar. Vidare framkommer att ansvar och beslutsfattande fortsatt är tydligt förankrade hos mänskliga aktörer, samtidigt som AI medför ökade krav på kontroll, verifiering och kritisk reflektion. Organisatoriskt lärande framträder som en central men utmanande aspekt av AI-införandet, där kompetensutveckling i stor utsträckning sker genom informationssökning och individualiserade lärprocesser snarare än genom strukturerade organisatoriska initiativ. Överlag bidrar studien till en fördjupad förståelse av hur AI påverkar lärande, ansvar och arbetssätt i IT-beroende arbetssystem. Resultaten understryker vikten av att betrakta AI införande som en socioteknisk förändringsprocess, där organisatoriska strukturer för lärande och gemensam förståelse är avgörande för att uppnå en hållbar och långsiktig digital transformation.Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly central component of organizational digital transformation, influencing how work is organized, performed, and understood within diffrent IT-dependent work systems. Despite growing interest in the strategic and technological potential of AI, limited attention has been given to how AI is experienced and interpreted by employees in their everyday work, particularly in relation to organizational learning and competence development. The purpose of this study is therefore to explore how employees in operational and tactical roles perceive the introduction of AI in IT-dependent work processes, and how these perceptions relate to changes in learning within the context of digital transformation. The study adopts a qualitative research approach based on semi-structured deep interviews with professionals from diff erent organizational contexts. The empirical material has been analyzed using thematic coding, combining both deductive and inductive coding strategies. The analysis is theoretically informed by Work System Theory and a sociotechnical perspective, enabling an examination of how technology, human actors, information, and work processes interact. The findings indicate that AI is primarily perceived as a supportive tool rather than a transformative force. Changes in work processes and work practices occur incrementally and at an individual level, with AI being integrated into existing routines rather than through comprehensive organizational restructuring. The results further show that responsibility and decision making remain firmly anchored with human actors, while AI introduces increased demands for control, verification, and critical refl ection. Organizational learning emerges as a central yet challenging aspect of AI adoption, where competence development largely takes place through information and individualized learning processes rather than through structured organizational initiatives. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how AI influences learning, responsibility, and work practices in IT-dependent work systems. The findings highlight the importance of viewing AI adoption as a sociotechnical change process, where organizational structures for learning and shared understanding are critical for achieving sustainable and long term digital transformation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
