“…for our research phenomenon and offers a fixed context in which new research can be established (Edmondson and McManus 2007). Since ANT can suggest formal hypotheses but not enough to do them with numbers alone, as well as drawing on earlier work from different literature bodies (e.g., Sage et al 2011;Lee et al 2015;Shim and Shin 2016;Burga and Rezania 2017;Sage et al 2019), we follow Edmondson and McManus (2007) and classify ANT as an intermediate theory. Therefore, we use the proposed methodological framework of intermedia theory, for example, research questions investigating relationships between new and established constructs or integrate qualitative and quantitative data aiming to shed light on mechanisms between SCM executives and digital technologies (Edmondson and McManus 2007).…”

Business and EntrepreneurshipOpen access funding enabled and organized by Projekt DEAL. I n the field of supply chain management (SCM), attracting and developing appropriate talent is critical for achieving most SCM goals, as extensive skills are necessary to do the job properly. In order to ensure that future-proof talent can continue to emerge in this discipline, the role of SCM executives is extremely important. Although many studies have been conducted in the field of talent management (TM), the future role of SCM executives has been mostly neglected in research. The present empirical study addresses this gap, taking into consideration the fourth industrial revolution, as innovation in technology continues to drive significant changes in the SCM field. Aiming to investigate the extent to which increasing digitalization is influencing the future role of SCM executives, a Delphi study with 103 experts from industry, academics, and politics/associations was carried out. In order to identify meaningful topic clusters from the data, fuzzy c-means clustering was used. From an actor-network theory perspective, our results show that in some areas of TM, digitalization is leading to a strong fusion of SCM executives and digital technologies, as well as to a clear division of roles, in which either SCM leaders or technology will dominate in the future.

“…Case study is understood as a case of social phenomena using research question 'How' [33,34]. According to Yin in Burga and Rezania [35] case study does not require propositions specifically. But it needs broad directions to guide a research [36] in information-oriented sampling.…”

This article aims to investigate the form of negotiation texts written by tenth grade students of Accounting Class in SMK PGRI 2 Bojonegoro, Indonesia. This qualitative research uses a case study approach. The research instruments are test questions, interview guidelines, and observation guidelines. The data are collected by using the methods of tests, interviews, and observations. It is validated using triangulations of data, researcher, and theory. Then, it is analysed using content analysis method. The results of this research indicate that the structure of negotiation texts created by students is in line with the statement of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The impacts of the results give a broader concept that flipped classroom is very appropriate to teach the millennial generations. They are able to learn negotiation text easily through teaching materials that have been uploaded in youtube using a CyberLink Power Director media apps.

“…To achieve this, an online search into different databases such as ProQuest, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar was carried out, using different combinations and synonyms for stakeholder evolution, stakeholder dynamics, stakeholder management, course of a project, project lifecycle, etc. Papers were selected from prestigious journals (Aaltonen & Kujala, 2010;Aaltonen et al, 2015;Achterkamp & Vos, 2008;Burga & Rezania, 2017;Davis, 2014;De Schepper et al, 2014;Eskerod & Vaagaasar, 2014;Floricel, Bonneau, Aubry, & Sergi, 2014;Jepsen, 2013;Khang & Moe, 2008;Mitchell et al, 1997;Olander & Landin, 2005;Papadopoulos & Merali, 2008;Windsor, 2010).…”

“…In their research, Aaltonen and Kujala (2010) used Mitchell et al (1997)'s stakeholder salience model as reference for their analysis. Floricel et al (2014) and Burga and Rezania (2017) have discussed stakeholder dynamics on the basis of actor-network-theory (ANT), a theory integrating interests and power in the ongoing processes of negotiation and translation through an evolving assemblage of affinities between actors rather than via predetermined positions and individual interests.Based on these examples, we can see that the research on stakeholder dynamics has so far been primarily contextual and subject to the focus of the scholars carrying out the research. We can also see that the use of tools initially intended for the static analysis and management of stakeholders has been addressed before.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of stakeholder dynamics and to show how stakeholders demonstrate their dynamic nature in the power/interest matrix. This, in turn, should assist project management and stakeholder management practitioners predict the behavior of different stakeholder groups in their projects, and strategize their stakeholder management approaches accordingly. Design/methodology/approach The findings in this paper are based on data collected from 12 diverse projects from five different business sectors executed in Norway by means of an online, closed-question questionnaire, which was analyzed using various statistical approaches. Findings Stakeholder dynamics is a contextual phenomenon, which takes different forms and shapes from one stakeholder group to the other, from one industry or business sector to the other, and even from one project to the other within the same industry or business sector. The stakeholder group of user(s) was the most dynamic in Norwegian projects based on their continuous repositioning on the power/interest matrix from one project phase to the other. Environmental activists/organizations were the least dynamic stakeholder group in the full sample of projects. Originality/value This paper presents the first more comprehensive empirically based findings about stakeholder dynamics in projects the authors have been able to find. The study gives project management practitioners insights from various industries and business sectors into how stakeholders change position over time. It also shows that the two attributes of power and interest are strongly connected and affect one another, which might make it possible to control and design a safer and less complex stakeholder environment for future projects.
