ABSTRACT Workarounds are adaptive processes occurring in a centralised system environment. As adaptations, they expose organisations to potential data issues, for example, data availability, data accuracy, and data leak. Hence organisations need to manage workaround, one way to achieve this is to classify them. However, classifying workarounds is challenging because they are unique and situational. This study aims to develop a workaround classification by leveraging the theory of organisational routines. By adopting the theory’s ontology, we emphasise the duality of structure (ostensive) and agency (performative). Next, we construct a truth table to progress our assumptions around workarounds. Our analysis shapes the statement of two organisational routines infused definitions of a workaround. This definition facilitates a new workaround typology based on organisational routines. By opening the black box, we can leverage a novel approach to classifying workarounds. This classification provides researchers with alternate building blocks for further theory development in workarounds.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the potential of connected health solutions to solve the problems currently facing healthcare systems around the world with a particular interest in their decision support capabilities. Leveraging three selected projects in which we have been involved in the area of maternal and child health, the paper proposes a blueprint for connected health decisions in a variety of settings, namely: home-based, community-based, ward-based scenarios as well as the specific scenario of low-income countries. This blueprint can be used to frame discussions on connected health solutions and discuss their decision support potential.

ABSTRACT Serious games are tools for measuring, evaluating, and developing leadership skills through the decisions taken by participants on leadership training. We analyse decision-making skills in relation to 29 leadership skills measured through FLIGBY, a Flow-developing serious game. Our empirical research explores the intuitive versus the analytical decision-making approaches’ connections to other leadership skills demonstrated by 734 leaders and managers: through a series of complex management decisions made in the game. Participants gain deeper insights into their skill sets, experience the immediate consequences of their decisions, and enhance their personal competitiveness by developing their leadership skills. The novelty of our research lies in analysing the relationship between Flow theory, leadership skills, and particularly decision-making skills. We highlight which leadership skills are most relevant to analytical and intuitive thinking skills. Our results show that both decision-making approaches could support the Flow-promoting leadership style, however intuitive thinking has a stronger relationship with it.

ABSTRACT This research investigates how an organisational unit organises workaround-centric data activities (WCDA) to cope with data availability issues (in the context of their centralised and decentralised systems landscape). To unpack these often-invisible WCDA patterns of action, we present a field study of a Quality Assurance (QA) unit of an Indonesian sugar plantation company. We use open coding and a narrative network (NN) approach to complete our analysis. Our findings reveal that data availability issues produce three patterns of action: dual inspection, prudent control, and mindful handling. An organisation can build plausible pictures for governing data by better understanding these visualised patterns. Lastly, we discuss the pros and cons of these patterns of action in the context of data governance.

ABSTRACT This paper draws on quantitative and qualitative research from social housing tenants in Ireland, exploring the relationship between digital access to financial resources and financial well-being. We find that using the mobile phone to check a bank balance is associated with decisions around financial commitments (not running out) and resilience (having savings, being able to withstand a shock). Using the internet to check a bank balance is correlated with not having financial difficulties. However, paying bills via mobile phone is correlated with not having money left over at the end of the month and not saving, suggesting an increasing impulsiveness in decision making. IT-enabled banking and commerce have positive and negative implications for day-to-day money management and expenditure decisions. We therefore suggest further multi-disciplinary research on the opportunities for information technology to inform policy and practice around prudent money management decision making for consumers.

ABSTRACT Current literature has increased our knowledge of particular aspects of Workforce Transformation (WT), yet we need a comprehensive picture of its characteristics within a Digital Transformation (DT) context. Therefore, the objective of this review paper is to present the defining characteristics of WT. We fulfil this objective through a systematic review of 70 empirical papers published in leading journals listed on the CABS Academic Journal Guide (between 2010 and 2022). Following an inductive open coding approach, we identified six characteristics of WT: (1) ‘Actors and Digital Competency’; (2) ‘Digital Culture’; (3) ‘Digitally Engaged Workspace’; (4) ‘Empowerment, Engagement, and Motivation’; (5) ‘Improvisation and Collaborative Visioning’; and (6) ‘Transformational Leadership and Governance’. Based on these characteristics, we detail a future research agenda that proposes the need to examine the relationship between WT characteristics and DT outcomes.

ABSTRACT Over 85% of Cameroonians use building informal sector mechanisms which involve a disorganized and varied workforce, types and qualities of materials from various origins with unclear supply networks, supported by a wide range of funding sources. Although previous work enabled us to master these mechanisms, their complexity is accentuated by sustainable development requirements and sanitary measures. Sustainability concept deals with fields to respond to social, economic and environmental challenges but its operationality in building encounters many difficulties due to informal mechanisms complexity. Dealing with this environment recommend taking advantage of Building Information Modeling, especially the assets of artificial intelligence (AI) to get appropriate, rapid, and diversified assistance. In this paper, we propose a concept of intelligent building sites management combining knowledge base, information system capitalizing on previous best practices and achievements to organize several construction sites in real-time with all requirements including those of SD goals and covid-19.

ABSTRACT Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been recommended as one of the paradigms to efficiently manage asset information especially for maintenance purposes. Although still emerging, BIM benefits in cost and time savings are already being reaped in developed countries, yet its applications in developing countries are scarce. This study investigates a BIM method used in the rehabilitation of buildings in Cameroon, an African country still in its infancy in BIM adoption and compares the approach to the conventional sequential approach of project delivery. The method was implemented on rehabilitation of buildings at the Douala seaport in Cameroon. The results obtained revealed savings of 22% and 31% on costs and time respectively. These findings serve as a hope to developing countries to embrace BIM in their projects. Given this study used buildings in the Douala seaport, it is recommended that future studies should examine BIM for other projects in Cameroon.

ABSTRACT The article presents a summary of research and development process of Domain Ontology for Crisis Management (DO4CM). The main goal of this work is to make decisions more effective within the framework of standard procedures implemented by government and local administration in response to emerging crisis and discontinuities. Presented ontology has been validated and verified during exercises carried out by actual crisis management structures and in co-ordination with non-governmental organisations supporting the growth of Polish state strategic resilience.
