Prosessledelse og digitalisering
2023
I denne artikkelen utforsker vi om det er en gjensidig sammenheng mellom prosessledelse og digitalisering. Prinsipielt handler prosessledelse om å ha kontroll med virksomhetens prosesser og forbedre dem ved behov, mens digitalisering handler om å utvikle og innføre digitale løsninger basert på moderne digital teknologi. I artikkelen drøfter vi om, og eventuelt på hvilken måte disse påvirker hverandre og om det sterke fokuset det er på digitalisering i dag har innvirkning på prosessledelse som fag. Og hvis digitalisering påvirker prosess- ledelse, vil dermed prosessledelse bli mer relevant som støtte til virksomheters digitaliseringsarbeid? For å undersøke dette henter vi inn erfaringer fra …
Defining the IT artefact in social media for eparticipation: An ensemble view
2012
Published version of a paper from the European Confernece on Information Systems. Also available from the publisher: http://aisel.aisnet.org/ecis2012/175 Social media has become a popular outlet for various eParticipation activities, such as online campaigning by political parties. However, research so far has shown that political parties often have limited success with their efforts. Much is yet unclear as to the results and possible applications of social media use. This paper contributes to clarify the underlying concepts of social media, by analysing the social media IT artefact as a socio-technical object. We propose and define an ensemble view on social media use in eParticipation, an…
The support for different democracy models by the use of a web-based discussionboard
2004
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 3183, 23-26. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30078-6_4 Different initiatives are initiated to utilize ICT to maintain and develop democracy. Democracy models are developed to explain differences between different democracies. This paper reports from a case study where a web-based discussion board is developed and implemented. The findings indicate that politicians and citizens add support to different democracy models by their contributions to the web-based discussion board. Contributions from the citizens add stronger support for the neo-republican model where as politic…
Democracy Squared: Designing On-Line Political Communities to Accommodate Conflicting Interests
2005
Published version of an article published in Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems, 17 (2), 133-168. Also available from the publisher at: http://aisel.aisnet.org/sjis/vol17/iss2/5. On-line political communities, such as the Norwegian site Demokratitorget (Democracy Square), are often designed according to a set of un-reflected assumptions about the political interests of their potential members. In political science, democracy is not taken as given in this way, but can be represented by different models which characterize different relationships between politicians and the citizens they represent. This paper uses quantitative and qualitative content analysis to analyze the communicat…
Social media as public sphere : an exploratory study of online political communication in Norway
2013
Doctoral dissertation, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, University of Agder, Kristiansand 2013 This thesis presents an exploratory study of the use of social media in the Norwegian public sector, and contributes to the understanding of how social media can be applied to improve deliberation. The study is situated within the eParticipation research field. The motivation for the study is the reported challenges facing democracy, in the form of lower voter turnout, decline in political party membership, and a general lessening of interest for public issues and deliberation. Deliberation is seen as essential for democracy, and promoting deliberation could well lead to an increase in vo…
Managing data and information quality in construction engineering : a system design approach
2014
Doctoral dissertation, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, University of Agder 2014 Following the ADR method made it possible not only to develop a tool, but also to formulate design principles and abstract the findings to a generalizable level. This study contributes to knowledge and practice in several ways. First, I offer five design principles for DQ/IQ assessment tools. These design principles are specifically aimed at mitigating the unavoidable challenges and their consequences in construction engineering projects. By accepting these unavoidable challenges and consequences and subsequently providing means for managing the results in a controlled manner, these principles makes it…
Digital collaboration in the wood-based construction industry: deployment of Building Information Modeling
2014
Doctoral dissertation, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Agder, Kristiansand 2014 Building Information Modeling (BIM) is intended to promote efficiency in building design and serves as a design space where multiple actors engage in collaborative work. BIM is both a new technology and a new way of working, providing a common environment for all information defining a building, facility, or asset, together with its common parts and activities (Pittard, 2013). This thesis explores the deployment of BIM technology in the Norwegian wood-based building industry and contributes to understanding how BIM can be applied to improve collaborative work in this sector. The dissertation is interdi…
Project report : Evaluering av INSITU skogbrannøvelse
2021
Rapporten presenterer resultater fra evaluering av en digital tabletop-øvelse arrangert av INSITU-prosjektet i april 2021, der scenarioet omfattet 3 samtidige skogbranner i Agder. Hensikt med øvelsen var å gi erfaring med hvordan situasjonsbilde kan deles fra innsatsleder til sentrale myndigheter med bruk av felles digital kartstøtte. Øvelsen involverte ca. 70 deltagere fra 20 etater og organisasjoner, i tillegg til prosjektgruppen fra INSITU.
Why Benefits Realization from ERP in SMEs Doesn't Seem to Matter?
2011
Author's version of a chapter in Proceedings of the 44th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/HICSS.2011.497 It is often argued that IT investments require active management practices for benefits realization. This applies also to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. As well, benefits realization efforts are assumed to create more value than they cost. Hence, the maturity of organizations should be increased and their cultures cultivated towards more rational benefits realization practices. Our study on ERP implementations in Egyptian medium-sized organizations, however, provides aberrant results that challen…
On the evolution of e-Government: The user imperative
2003
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2739, 139-143. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/10929179_25 This paper focuses the need for more research on user involvement and the investigation of stakeholders in e-Government initiatives. An investigation of existing work revealed a lack of research on those topics. As e-Government evolves and users mature, the value of their input can increase. The paper discusses the need and potential benefits of this approach. Finally, we suggest that existing stakeholder theory is investigated for adaptation into e-Government settings in order to map the complex body of interrelated stakeh…
