Towards Information Systems Development Approach for Individual Information Systems
(Faculty of Economics & Business, University of Zagreb, 2023-05-13)
In the ubiquitous information society era, individual information systems have emerged as a potential game-changer for understanding information systems development (ISD). These systems are highly mutable, ad hoc, and subjective in scope and methodology, which contrasts with traditional rational ISD approaches. This paper aims to explore the practices used for developing individual information systems and their implications for ISD. Individual information systems are activity systems where individuals, based on their idiosyncratic needs and preferences, utilize information, technology, and other resources to produce informational products and services for themselves or others. These practices are under-researched, and understanding how individuals overcome ISD problems can provide valuable insights into improving ISD practices. The methodology employed in this study is design ethnography, which involves active intervention and the researcher’s creation of the IT artifact. This approach allows for an in-depth exploration of individual practices in developing information systems. We focus on the author’s personal ethnographic experiences in developing an individual information system for writing. We propose the concept of “nomadic information systems development” as a result of our findings. Unlike conventional rational ISD, nomadic ISD involves users engaging in do-it-yourself practices that lead to diffused translation of solutions, ultimately creating individual information systems. There are practical implications to understanding nomadic ISD. Individuals with little to no programming or system development knowledge are building their systems, making them more susceptible to security threats, data compromise, privacy violations, and more. Identifying and leveraging these practices can help improve information systems development and security. This research offers a deeper understanding of the development of individual information systems by exploring the practices employed and proposing the nomadic information systems development approach. This approach can potentially impact the way information systems are developed in the future, particularly in the context of the ubiquitous information society. By examining these practices and their consequences for ISD, we aim to contribute to the ongoing academic and practical discourse surrounding information systems development.

Is Facebook A Ride-Sharing Platform? Exploration Through Affordance Theory
(2019-06-16)
;
Peer-to-peer ride-sharing is one of the most complex archetype of the sharing economy. As a result, dedicated digital platforms, designed specifically to handle this complexity, have emerged. However, there are practices where Facebook is used to organise the ride-sharing, although it lack features that can handle the complexity of ride-sharing. In this research-in-progress paper we demonstrate the importance for researching these practices. We justify the appropriateness for using the Affordance - actualisation lens for analysing the practices. We present the preliminary results from the first case study research.

Understanding social capital in community‐driven ride sharing: Lessons from a developing country
(Wiley, 2024-08-15)

Palamidovska Sterjadovska, Nikolina
This paper aims to analyze the dynamics of social capital within community‐based P2P ridesharing practices through the relational (trust), cognitive (shared meaning and identity), and structural (network of social ties) dimensions of social capital. 21 users of Facebook P2P ridesharing participated in three focus groups. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we identified the key themes around social capital dimensions and the main factors that impact social capital dynamics (social broker, social debriefing, and time pressure). The impact of the social broker on social capital dynamics in ridesharing activities via Facebook can be explained by creating new bridging capital through linking different online and offline networks (inter‐network bridging) and by strengthening bonding capital through linking ridesharing group members (intra‐network bridging). Negative social debriefing weakens bonding capital and creates new bridging capital, whereas positive social debriefing strengthens bonding capital. Under high time pressure, travelers engage in activities that foster bridging capital development, whereas, under low time pressure, they rely on their bonding capital, avoiding engaging in bridging capital. We provided a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing social capital dynamics that further influence P2P ridesharing practices, thus improving the current theory on social capital dynamics.

Wicked Problems’ Definitions and Characteristics: A Scoping Literature Review

Wicked problems are multifaceted issues that are difficult to resolve due to their complex, ever- changing, and incomplete nature. They have no single solution and often involve various dimensions, such as technology, social, economic, policy, and environmental factors. Addressing wicked problems necessitates an interdisciplinary and systems approach. However, there remains a need for an interdisciplinary review that delivers a comprehensive understanding of wicked problem definitions, characteristics, and applications. Considering that wicked problems involve various dimensions and require interdisciplinary collaboration, a scoping review is an appropriate method to rapidly map the key concepts and sources of evidence across different fields, providing a more holistic perspective on the topic. Scoping reviews can foster greater awareness and knowledge-sharing among researchers and practitioners from different disciplines by summarizing and disseminating research findings. Additionally, they are instrumental in identifying research gaps in the existing literature. Recognizing these gaps is crucial for guiding future research on wicked problems and ensuring that emerging studies build on and expand current knowledge in the field. To conduct a scoping review on wicked problems, a comprehensive selection process was utilized to identify relevant articles. The eligibility criteria included using selected keywords, a time frame from 2000 to the present, English-language articles, and peer-reviewed publications. Only scientific articles from the following databases were considered to ensure high quality: ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. For data management, the open-source program Zotero was employed to streamline the process of handling research materials. We identified 121 articles for the data pool to be analyzed. A standardized online form was used for identifying and collecting literature contributions and developments about a) definitions of wicked problems; b) characteristics of wicked problems; and c) factors that influence wicked problems (regulations, policies, institutions, etc.). Through our analysis, we have identified 100 definitions. Most of the research papers build their definitions on the work of Rittel and Weber (1973) or employ the definition that the latter have derived for wicked problems. With regard to the characteristics and factors, the scoping review highlights wicked problems as pervasive, unpredictable, and complex, involving political, economic, social, and environmental factors. Traditional approaches are inadequate, necessitating innovative, multi-dimensional, multi- stakeholder solutions. However, uncertainty and disagreement on addressing wicked problems persist, with no single solution. Furthermore, stakeholders view solutions’ applicability and efficacy differently, adding to the complexity. Purely scientific solutions are insufficient, as wicked problems are closely linked to societal issues, and solutions are subjective, based on stakeholders’ perceptions.

A Systems Approach to Evaluate One Health Initiatives
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018)

Challenges calling for integrated approaches to health, such as the One Health (OH) approach, typically arise from the intertwined spheres of humans, animals, and ecosystems constituting their environment. Initiatives addressing such wicked problems commonly consist of complex structures and dynamics. As a result of the EU COST Action (TD 1404) "Network for Evaluation of One Health" (NEOH), we propose an evaluation framework anchored in systems theory to address the intrinsic complexity of OH initiatives and regard them as subsystems of the context within which they operate. Typically, they intend to influence a system with a view to improve human, animal, and environmental health. The NEOH evaluation framework consists of four overarching elements, namely: (1) the definition of the initiative and its context, (2) the description of the theory of change with an assessment of expected and unexpected outcomes, (3) the process evaluation of operational and supporting infrastructures (the "OH-ness"), and (4) an assessment of the association(s) between the process evaluation and the outcomes produced. It relies on a mixed methods approach by combining a descriptive and qualitative assessment with a semi-quantitative scoring for the evaluation of the degree and structural balance of "OH-ness" (summarised in an OH-index and OH-ratio, respectively) and conventional metrics for different outcomes in a multi-criteria-decision-analysis. Here, we focus on the methodology for Elements (1) and (3) including ready-to-use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for the assessment of the "OH-ness". We also provide an overview of Element (2), and refer to the NEOH handbook for further details, also regarding Element (4) (http://neoh.onehealthglobal.net). The presented approach helps researchers, practitioners, and evaluators to conceptualise and conduct evaluations of integrated approaches to health and facilitates comparison and learning across different OH activities thereby facilitating decisions on resource allocation. The application of the framework has been described in eight case studies in the same Frontiers research topic and provides first data on OH-index and OH-ratio, which is an important step towards their validation and the creation of a dataset for future benchmarking, and to demonstrate under which circumstances OH initiatives provide added value compared to disciplinary or conventional health initiatives.
