“…He concludes that BD leads to an atomistic behaviour in management and thus "undermines the contribution of urban complexity as a resource for governance […]" (Lake 2017, p. 1). Furthermore, we find articles provide critiques about the efficacy of BD approaches (Lowrie 2017) and the hidden, positivist assumptions (labelled techno positivism e.g., (Gano 2015) behind the movement. Critics of technological solutions and BD are also discussed, such as surveillance of the population (Heath-Kelly 2017).…”

Research streams on digital transformation from a holistic business perspective: a systematic literature review and citation network analysis

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Digital transformation (DT) has become a buzzword, triggering different disciplines in research and influencing practice, which leads to independent research streams. Scholars investigate the antecedents, contingencies, and consequences of these disruptive technologies by examining the use of single technologies or of digitization, in general. Approaches are often very specialized and restricted to their domains. Thus, the immense breadth of technologies and their possible applications conditions a fragmentation of research, impeding a holistic view. With this systematic literature review, we aim to fill this gap in providing an overview of the different disciplines of DT research from a holistic business perspective. We identified the major research streams and clustered them with co-citation network analysis in nine main areas. Our research shows the main fields of interest in digital transformation research, overlaps of the research areas and fields that are still underrepresented. Within the business research areas, we identified three dominant areas in literature: finance, marketing, and innovation management. However, research streams also arise in terms of single branches like manufacturing or tourism. This study highlights these diverse research streams with the aim of deepening the understanding of digital transformation in research. Yet, research on DT still lacks in the areas of accounting, human resource management, and sustainability. The findings were distilled into a framework of the nine main areas for assisting the implications on potential research gaps on DT from a business perspective.

“…Also, despite the stereotypical skateboarder identity of the white, middle-class, suburban male, I found that skateboarding was a popular activity amongst all young people, regardless of gender, race, class, or ethnicity, because it is fun, cheap, easy to coordinate amongst peers, and accessible Even though it is a relatively recent phenomenon, only receiving notoriety in the past three years, the limitations of big data have been well discussed in the literature in terms of the learning curve needed to conduct complex statistical analyses (Hammon 2015), the context-dependent nature of the source (Boyd and Crawford 2012), and challenges of an exponentially increasing scale (Crosas et al 2015), to name a few. One highly criticized limitation-that big data can be used to create a predictive, total system approach to comprehensive design (Gano 2015, Lambrou 2014, Chandler 2015-is largely put aside when we recognize that unlike simulations big data renders visible previously concealed individual relations. One advantage of the approach is that rather than relying on systematic case studies to identify successful urban design practices and performance metrics, comparative analyses can be conducted across multiple, designed environments to generate highly generalizable findings and support further inquiry.…”

“…In this manner, I agree with Lambrou's (2014) criticism that big data is not a mirror image of reality and the centralization of D R A F T 4 massive amounts of context-free information for predictive modeling is likely to lead to apophenia-seeing meaningful patterns from random data (Boyd and Crawford 2012). Her criticism of software programs like "LakeSIM"-currently being used to simulate everyday life for a micro-city of 50,000 residents in the new Lakeside Development in Chicago and referenced by others as "big data" (Hammon 2015)-has been echoed by others (Boyd andCrawford 2012, Chandler 2015) as perpetuating modern reductionist and positivistic approaches to managing ecosystems (Gano 2015). Such models have utility for energy or transportation modeling and have long been successfully employed by planners; however, simply because of its massive computing power, LakeSIM does not equate as much to contemporary notions of "big data" as it echoes the ecosystem determinism of "big science" (Aronova, Baker, and Oreskes 2010).…”

Big Data in the Big Easy: How Social Networks Can Improve the Place for Young People in Cities

Access to social data on human experience of place has never been more available than now. Social media, smart phones, and the Internet of Things provide glimpses into individual activity across the globe. The nearly-boundless stream of information is called "big data. " Today, physically and even socially disconnected individuals can benefit from the similar experiences of others to adapt and change their environment. I argue that big data provides two critical benefits for landscape architecture research and practice: (1) big data opens a window into previously inaccessible human experiences of designed environments, introducing new metrics for evidence-based design and new ways of improving design literacy; and (2) the design, planning, and management of the land-especially in cities-can benefit from scraping big data to support urban ecological design. My study of YouTube use in New Orleans shows that big data can advance landscape research to support positive, interdependent relationships between people and built environments. Landscape architecture would benefit by harnessing this resource to better understand relationships with place and encourage individuals to participate in the design, creation, and evolution of cities.

“…On their in-depth literature review about DT Hausberg et al, 2019 have found that big data is the research stream with most contributions and the artificial intelligence and machine learning are those technologies that have a significant presence. Moreover, among the several research streams identified by authors, one was named "society"; it consists of works that deal with the role of digital technologies in the following issues: Society and communication (Carolan, 2017;Gano, 2015;Madsen et al, 2016) Policy and international (Chandler, 2015;Rothe, 2017) Philosophy and ethics (Lake, 2017) Thus, this stream, particularly relevant for our study, is characterized by a multidisciplinary approach that takes into account the DT from a societal perspective, with a particular focus on not only the opportunities but also risks connected to the big data and digital technology adoption.…”

Democracy of Climate and Climate for Democracy: the Evolution of Quadruple and Quintuple Helix Innovation Systems

Quadruple and Quintuple Helix innovation systems are based on democracy and ecology. Two propositions are here key: (1) without a democracy or knowledge democracy, the further advancement of knowledge and innovation are seriously constrained, so in that sense, knowledge and innovation evolution depend on democracy and knowledge democracy; (2) ecology and environmental protection represent a necessity and challenge for humanity, but they also act as drivers for further knowledge and innovation (this should lead to a win–win situation for ecology and innovation). Therefore, for an innovation system to be a Quadruple/Quintuple Helix innovation system, the political regime hosting these helixes needs to be democratic in essence, not just in form. The next stage in evolution of innovation systems may be that this also will require a “democracy of climate” (promoting a social, cultural, economic, and political “climate for democracy”), where democracies as innovation enablers are creating innovation that regard the ecology as a crucial driver for further innovation and for responsible innovation.
