Most organizations are currently undergoing different types of digitalization and digital transformation. The majority of these digitalization processes are initiated and led by top management, in collaboration with external consultants and technology vendors. This means employees and their in-depth knowledge of their work practices are often excluded from these processes because the employees don't have the time, the skills, or the autonomy to participate effectively. The consequence is often failed or costly projects.
In this task we ask you to investigate successful and failed attempts to employee participation in digital transformation, understand the challenges, and recommend best practices for future digitalization initiatives.
This is an empirical research task that is grounded in latest research in digital transformation. We expect that you employ rigorous methods to analyze past research, plan research studies, and conduct empirical studies in organizations who are undergoing digital transformation. The specific case organization and the specific focus of the task will be further developed in collaboration with you.
This task requires that you have a good understanding of, and are interested, in empirical qualitative research. Working language for this task is Norwegian. The thesis can be written in Norwegian or English but we recommend English. Please contact Babak before you select this task.
