Reviewing Organizational Design Components for Digital Business Strategy
No full textThe view on information technology strategy has changed significantly. In the past, a functional-level view was prevailing, where information technology (IT) strategy was subordinate to a deliberate business strategy and needed alignment. Recently, rapid developments in digital technologies leaves no industry untouched and IT becomes an enabler and differentiator for businesses. Therefore, IT strategy exceeds the view of alignment towards a fusion of business- and IT-strategy– coined as digital business strategy (DBS). Yet, strategies are inextricably linked to organizational design in order to function well. Consequently, a DBS requires a suitable underlying organizational design. This paper aims to explore the very organizational design components for DBS by examining the state of the art literature. Specifically, this paper sheds light on the organizational design components of strategy, structure, processes, rewards, and people. The research method is a review of relevant literature at the intersect of information systems (IS) and management. Conclusions, implications for research and practice are presented

A Taxonomy of FinTech Business Models
No full textFinTechs are companies that combine technological and financial attributes in their business models. In recent years, the rise of FinTechs has attracted much attention since they challenge incumbent financial service companies including the traditional banking model. In this paper, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore, we develop a taxonomy of FinTech business models following a theoretically grounded and empirically validated approach for identifying and defining underlying business model elements. After developing our taxonomy, we use a clustering-based approach to identify business model archetypes on which to showcase our results, reexamine the assumptions made during taxonomy development, and validate the presented findings. Based on the gained insights, we discuss implications for research, practice and policy makers, as well as directions for future research
Exploring Principles for Corporate digital Infrastructure Design in the Financial Services Industry
No full textThis paper presents corporate digital infrastructure design principles of companies in the financial services industry dealing with data intensive service offerings. The design principles emerged by applying established techniques of the grounded theory method from data we collected in a one case B2B organization which transformed its IT infrastructure. We structured the company’s initial problem and identified associated problem requirements and mapping solution components. Based on this case-based design theory building work, we theorized the following design principles: (1) a bidirectional data exchange to enable for customer data integration, (2) the usage of a flexible data model for the data storage, (3) efficient data processing by reduced communication overhead, and (4) small reusable and modular software components enabling standardized, yet flexible customer solutions. Our research contribution is twofold: First we contribute to the emerging literature stream of digital infrastructures. In particular, we shed light on design choices to transform a historically grown IT infrastructure to align with the generative evolution of non-corporate digital infrastructures. Second, we link the findings to literature of co-creation by reflecting our design principles to the layers of IT-value co-creation and reveal interdependencies among these layers

The Spoken Wikipedia Corpora
No full textThe Spoken Wikipedia project unites volunteer readers of Wikipedia articles. Hundreds of spoken articles in multiple languages are available to users who are – for one reason or another – unable or unwilling to consume the written version of the article. Our resource, the Spoken Wikipedia Corpus, consolidates the Spoken Wikipediae, adding text segmentation, normalization, time-alignment and further annotations, making it accessible for research and fostering new ways of interacting with the material.

Herausforderungen bei der Einführung agiler Vorgehensmodelle für Finanzdienstleister-eine Fallstudie
No full textIm Spannungsfeld der digitalen Transformation führen zunehmend auch bisher traditionell agierende Unternehmen agile Vorgehensmodelle ein. Das Interesse an agilen Vorgehensmodellen wird insbesondere durch die steigende Komplexität durchgeführter Projekte und neuen Herausforderungen aufgrund der Digitalisierung begründet. Der Einführung agiler Vorgehensmodelle stehen hierbei jedoch oft historisch gewachsene Rahmenbedingungen gegenüber, welche mit agilen Vorgehensmodellen nur bedingt vereinbar sind. Am Fallbeispiel eines Unternehmens der Finanzwirtschaft, welches im Rahmen der digitalen Transformation agile Vorgehensmodelle einführen möchte, zeigt der Beitrag auf, welche Herausforderungen für solche Unternehmen besonders ausgeprägt sind. Hierzu werden zuerst die existierenden Rahmenbedingungen des Unternehmens dargelegt, um anschließend aufzuzeigen, wie diese die Einführung agiler Vorgehensmodelle beeinflussen können. Die Analyse fußt auf Experteninterviews im Bereich des IT-Projektmanagements, welche mittels Techniken der Grounded-Theory-Methodik ausgewertet wurden. Abschließende Implikationen und Handlungsempfehlungen werden aufgezeigt
