“…One other point is worth to mention in regard to the ET and related concepts, namely the structure of relationship between components and interactions underpinning them, as this proliferation might be explained by various research strategies ranging from aggregation to integration [53]. In this regard, various actors, activities, processes, and events could be conceptualized as the continuum where and when the dominance (i.e., the presence and prevalence) of one of them (or their small group) capture something unique, specific and context-dependent.…”

Emerging Technology (ET) is a widely popular concept among scholars and business-minded people; however, ET lacks a reach and multidimensional definition. This paper reports on the investigation of the ET' definition as it is practiced in management and organizational studies in the context of digital transformation. This investigation applied a four step multimethod qualitative design which incorporates elements of literature review' and content analysis' techniques for development of the ET definition. As a result, the ET becomes a multidimensional and multilevel concept composed of social characteristics (i.e., leverage, ascendancy, ambivalence, and materiality) as well as artificial (i.e., radical novelty, fast growth, prominent impact, ambiguity), and temporal ones (i.e., ex-post and ex-ante) while applied to individual-and unit-level social structures (i.e., group, firm, cluster, and industrial sector). Consequently, ET may be used in the investigation of technologically-related social processes and mechanisms (e.g., a strategic decision support, innovation cluster positioning). Further efforts will investigate these characteristics' attributes and borderline cases in order to formulate ready-to-use framework.

Measurement in biology is methodized by theory

We characterize access to empirical objects in biology from a theoretical perspective. Unlike objects in current physical theories, biological objects are the result of a history and their variations continue to generate a history. This property is the starting point of our concept of measurement. We argue that biological measurement is relative to a natural history which is shared by the different objects subjected to the measurement and is more or less constrained by biologists. We call symmetrization the theoretical and often concrete operation which leads to considering biological objects as equivalent in a measurement. Last, we use our notion of measurement to analyze research strategies. Some strategies aim to bring biology closer to the epistemology of physical theories, by studying objects as similar as possible, while others build on biological diversity.
