Abstract
ABSTRACT Following the institutional logics perspective and an inductive research design, this study is the first to outline the Internet of things and people as a new institutional order with a distinct logic. The rise of this new institutional logic is prompted by smart technology, which transforms the ideological field of technology and challenges consumers’ self-concepts. In counterbalancing attempts, consumers internalize those “non-smart” practices that assist in maintaining the self’s integrity and differentiate “Us” – humans from “Them” – smart things. In contrast to previous research describing the material as a passive carrier, this study provides evidence that the material can be the driving force behind the emergence of institutional logic.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
