“…The potential impact of digital technologies is wide-ranging (see, for example, Hund et al 11 ). First, they allow the interlinkage of devices and components across organisational borders and user groups.…”

Digital health represents a research field dedicated to realising digital technologies’ potential and developing knowledge about their feasibility and impacts. Yet, drawing on a critical review of the articles in the most prominent multidisciplinary digital health journals, this paper argues that the digital health field has not profoundly engaged with its core subject, namely technology. The features of digital technologies remain in the background, and research is disconnected from the complexities of healthcare settings, including multiple technologies, established practices and people. Instead, the overarching focus in the digital health literature is the processing capabilities of digital technologies and their posited impacts. This paper proposes a research direction in digital health where technology and the context of use take a more prominent role. It argues that realising the potential of digital health requires intensive investigation drawing on different disciplines, grounded on understanding healthcare processes, related informational needs and the concrete features of digital technologies.

“…This study adopts the definition of Hund et al (2021), which refers to digital innovations as the creation or adoption, and exploitation of an inherently unbounded, value-adding novelty (e.g., product, service, process, or business model) by incorporating digital technology. From this definition, the researchers argue that the identified metro can enhance public service delivery by implementing new business and service delivery models, new ideas, concepts, and technologies to help bridge poverty and communication gaps.…”

“…Many practitioners and scholars across various disciplines, including (Economics, Public Administration, Marketing, and Information Systems) have shown a great interest in the phenomenon of digital innovation (Autio et al 2018;72;Bangani & Vyas-Doorgapersad, 2020;Beltagui et al 2020;Hund et al 2021;Konya-Baumback, Schuhmacher, Kuester and Kuharev, 2019:385). Lyytinen et al (2016:47) argue that the pervasiveness of digital technology has not transformed how innovation is strategised and created; instead led to improved development through the combination of both physical and digital components to produce novel products (Yoo, Henfridsson & Lyytinen, 2010:725;Nambisan, Lyytinen & Yoo, 2020).…”

Service delivery protests in the recent past demonstrate the dire state of local government in South Africa. The absence of public sector innovation can be linked to service delivery backlogs hence embracing digital innovations (Internet of Things (IoT), Big data and analytics, cloud, Biometrics, computers, mobile applications, 3D machines) in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is strategic for enhancing municipal service provision and uplifting the living standards of citizens in communities. The study utilised an explorative qualitative case study design premised on an extensive literature and document review analysis to examine the barriers facing the City of Tshwane from adopting digital innovations in the 4IR. The analysis of documents revealed digital hesitancy, leadership void, lack of innovative research culture, weak municipal preparedness, and digital divide in adopting digital innovations are barriers to digital innovation adoption to enhance service delivery. The paper observes further the lack of systematic and evaluative studies to inform public sector innovation, or growth in digital innovations often led to implementation challenges in the City of Tshwane. Conclusions drawn for the article revealed that adopting digital innovations can be the panacea to accelerating urban service delivery in the City of Tshwane; hence institutional readiness, improved revenue streams, including a stable regulatory and policy environment, are imperatives in achieving a digitalised local government in the 4IR.

“…Digitalization is considered a paradigmatic field of innovation [1][2][3][4]. The extent to which digital technologies are assimilated or accepted as innovations and finally can be used profitably, depends on both material conditions (e.g., sufficient infrastructure) and personal factors on the part of the users.…”

“…The extent to which digital technologies are assimilated or accepted as innovations and finally can be used profitably, depends on both material conditions (e.g., sufficient infrastructure) and personal factors on the part of the users. Besides, for example, basic IT operation skills, a reflected use also requires an awareness of the mechanisms and potentials of digital technologies as well as the willingness to deal with ongoing technological progress [2]. Thus, it becomes understandable that a profitable use of digital technologies often requires extensive learning and competence development [5][6][7].…”

What Do the Relationships between Pre-Service Biology Teachers’ Personality and Professional Knowledge Reveal about Their Innovativeness?—An Exploratory Study Using Canonical Correlation Analysis

Already in 2016, the German educational policy adopted the Education in the Digital World strategy, recommending that all teachers should become experts in using media. However, despite this initiative regarding the promotion of innovative forms of teaching using digital media, most teachers did not feel optimally prepared to successfully cope with the demands of implementing e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most empirical studies on potential barriers to innovation pertain to comparatively easy, changeable environmental factors, whereas only a few studies have focused on teachers as an individual factor so far. Since several organizational psychological studies on the relationships between innovativeness and personality traits in professional contexts identified the personality trait of openness to experience to be particularly influential on the innovative behaviors of employees’, our study aimed to explore whether comparable results can also be found in the educational context. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional survey (n = 201) to analyze to what extent the Big Five personality traits are related to pre-service teachers’ self-concept of professional knowledge and, in particular, its digitalization-related domains. The results of our canonical correlation analysis show that the two personality traits of openness to experience and conscientiousness appear to be significantly related to the overall professional knowledge of our sample. Furthermore, a dominant affinity for technology seems to be associable with the risk of lower values on personality traits that are regarded to be pedagogically relevant. However, we found that our canonical model could also get along with fewer variables since the actual digitalization-related teaching skills were not sufficiently reflected by the canonical solution but were rather caught up in the domain of pedagogical content knowledge. Interpretations of these findings as well as practical implications are discussed.
