SUMMARY:UKAIS Seminar - JAIS paper: Organizations as Digital Enactment Syst
 ems
DESCRIPTION:Time: Sep 27\, 2023 04:00 PM London\n\nPresenter: Dr Marta Ste
 lmaszak Rosa\n\n\n\nTitle: Organizations as Digital Enactment Systems: A 
 Theory of Replacement of Humans by Digital Technologies in Organizational 
 Scanning\, Interpretation\, and Learning\n\nAbstract: Digital transformat
 ion has become a dominant phenomenon of interest among information systems
  scholars. To account for the phenomenon\, it is imperative to develop a t
 heoretical understanding of its processes and objects. We adapt a seminal 
 organizational theory that conceptualizes organizations as interpretation 
 systems to a possible future of organizations. We theorize digital transfo
 rmation as a progressive replacement of humans by digital technologies in 
 performing an organization’s fundamental activities underpinning the pro
 cesses of scanning\, interpretation\, and learning that encompass an organ
 ization’s interaction with its environment. As a result\, organizations 
 cease to be human interpretation systems\, and instead turn into digital e
 nactment systems where digital technologies\, instead of humans\, nearly a
 utonomously create and act upon information. We illustrate this digital tr
 ansformation theory using the example of high-frequency trading. This tran
 sformation redefines the relationship among organizations\, information\, 
 and environment\, changing the role of humans\, and reshaping strategic de
 cision-making. Thus conceived digital transformation offers a concrete way
  of theorizing and accounts for deep implications on the nature of organiz
 ations and organizing in the digital age.\n\nBio: Marta Stelmaszak is an 
 Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Daimler Truck Professor of 
 Analytics at The School of Business\, Portland State University. She holds
  a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and Political Science and pos
 tgraduate degrees in Management\, Information Systems and Innovation (also
  from LSE) and Data Science (Birkbeck\, University of London). Marta’s r
 esearch interests concern data science and analytics\, and their responsib
 le\, sustainable\, and ethical development and management within organizat
 ions. In her work\, she combines various conceptual and theoretical approa
 ches to information systems research with quantitative\, data-informed and
  computational tools with the aim to develop methodological techniques all
 owing for new insights regarding data for management research and practice
 . She serves as a reviewer for information systems journals and associate 
 editor for leading conferences\, and she also serves as an early career bo
 ard member at the Journal of Strategic Information Systems.\n\n\n\nJoin Zo
