This essay will examine the manner in which composers and artistic directors have used conductors and click-tracks within the context of new music ensembles performing integrative concerts. The analyses and examples provided will rely for the most part on material gathered during in-depth interviews that I conducted with artistic directors, composers, conductors, and musicians, all of whom are professionally active in the new music field in Europe (and beyond). I will examine the application of both click-tracks and conductors and demonstrate that their implementation represents an active choice made by either the composer and/or artistic directors. both click-tracks and conductors are viewed by the interviewees as potential tools with somewhat overlapping possibilities and capacities and their presence is no secondary phenomenon of the music. They become instead a means for the above actors to meet their objectives, be they artistic, pragmatic, technical, or otherwise.

My aims are to investigate how the concept of narrative moment may be helpful in capturing the role of music in creating profound communication on the level of performing as well as listening to musical performance. I aim to show how sharing a culminating moment in a musical experience may lead to inducing a state of self awareness and confidence in place of critical separation and distrust. I discuss Lawrence Kramer’s idea of the narrative moment explained in original in reference to a literary example and an improvised music. It is presented as an example of communicative potential in music performance, which as I argue, is worth exploring and explaining further. Suggesting a possibility of narrative moment in the experience of musical performances offers a comprehensible and applicable vision of communicative potential of music that is far reaching even if rarely achieved; a possibility of communication that is direct and intuitive, flexible and affective. Defining musical meaning in terms of its music’s communicative power and far reaching social consequences suggests deep connections between the social/intersubjective, individual/subjective and aesthetic aspects of life. The proper explanation of the meaning of music requires drawing from different domains, including metaphors and highly persuasive literary and musical examples.

ABSTRACT While the analysis and usage of data are increasing in importance, the application of sophisticated BI solutions in small stores is limited by available technical capabilities and financial resources. This study investigates how brick-and-mortar stores can benefit from an expansion of service functionalities of a cross-industry loyalty card provider. Digitalizing the loyalty program created new opportunities, while the analysis of shopping data of 13 years, 19,000 customers, and 55 shops empowered data-based decision support.

ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) has diffused into many areas of our private and professional life. In this research note, we describe exemplary risks of black-box AI, the consequent need for explainability, and previous research on Explainable AI (XAI) in information systems research. Moreover, we discuss the origin of the term XAI, generalized XAI objectives, and stakeholder groups, as well as quality criteria of personalized explanations. We conclude with an outlook to future research on XAI.

ABSTRACT Reducing costly hospital readmissions of patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is important. We analyzed 4,661 CHF patients (from 2007 to 2017) using Hidden Markov Models in order to profile CHF readmission risk over time. This method proved practical in identifying three patient groups with distinctive characteristics, which might guide physicians in tailoring personalized care to prevent hospital readmission. We thus demonstrate how applying appropriate AI analytics can save costs and improve the quality of care.

ABSTRACT While artificial intelligence (AI) governance is thoroughly discussed on a philosophical, societal, and regulatory level, few works target companies. We address this gap by deriving a conceptual framework from literature. We decompose AI governance into governance of data, machine learning models, and AI systems along the dimensions of who, what, and how “is governed.” This decomposition enables the evolution of existing governance structures. Novel, business-specific aspects include measuring data value and novel AI governance roles.

ABSTRACT This article evaluates how firms are able to enhance the effectiveness of their Risk Management Infrastructure (RMI) by using Big Data Analytics (BDA) to improve their risk resilience capability. A theoretical model is developed and the corresponding hypothesis is tested through a survey instrument and quantitative analysis. The results show that if firms adopt BDA capabilities then it positively moderates the impact of RMI on risk resilience, improving the effectiveness of a risk management infrastructure.

ABSTRACT Peer-to-peer (P2P) mobile payment is a mobile banking service with major growth potential. We contribute to the body of knowledge on technology adoption by proposing a conceptual model based on the theory of reasoned action, extended with additional mobile payment constructs identified in the literature review. The results show that usefulness, subjective norms, and personal innovativeness have a particularly strong, direct influence on intention to use.

ABSTRACT Limited research exists that investigates how big data can be used to optimize delivery times for customers. The goal of this paper is to develop a prediction model for anticipatory shipping, which predicts customers’ online purchases with the aim of shipping products in advance, and subsequently minimizing delivery times. Results indicate that customer purchases are, to a certain extent, predictable, but anticipatory shipping comes at a high cost due to wrongly sent products.

ABSTRACT Some businesses gained from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the overall effect on demand for IT work is negative due to the recession. We may recover from it, once we can handle the medical problems, but some changes will probably stay. One of them is the shift from regular to temporary work in IT because businesses seek more flexibility. This should be accompanied by regulation that prohibits the worsening of work conditions of IT workers.
