We conduct a systematic review and coding of all the empirical research published in the two premier journals of our discipline, namely MIS Quarterly (MISQ) and Information Systems Research (ISR), from 2000 to 2016. We follow a comparable coding procedure to the ones employed by similar published studies (e.g., Grover and Lyytinen 2015), which consists of journal selection, sampling of articles, development of coding schemes, coding, and validation.
The focus of this theoretical paper is to investigate how mobile information and communication technologies (ICTs) give rise to the notion of organizational fluidity. Drawing upon previous literature, five affordances of mobile ICTsmobility, connectedness, interoperability, identifiability, and personalizationare discussed. Delving into the concept of organizational fluidity, the paper captures three dimensions of organizational fluidity, namely, team fluidity, task fluidity, and control fluidity. The paper then develops propositions on how different combinations of the mobile ICT affordances influence each of the dimensions of organizational fluidity. The contributions and implications of the paper are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
