“…Nevertheless, structure limits and enables strategy (Whittington 2010); our contribution suggests that organisations should consider structural changes to implement social media strategy on the company-wide level successfully. Also, this echoes the findings of Dwivedi et al (2015) which assert that regarding the scope and reach for many IT projects, regardless of how sophisticated they are, their impact depends on the broader institutional (structural) changes within the organisation.…”

“…Future longitudinal studies could prove fruitful, considering that Dwivedi et al (2015) suggest that longitudinal studies will help to document and explain the processes by which misalignments between IT project such as social media and institutional practices are resolved. Thus, it can help understand how structural changes happen to embed the new practices associated with social media.…”

“…Thus, studies that emerge from this context where things like the internet, purchasing power and electricity supply are challenges, can be considered as novel in helping to understand issues facing organisations that have invested in new technologies such as social media. Lastly, the study emphasises social media as an example of an Information System (IS), which helps to look at ways that technology is mutually constituted with the organisational context in which it is embedded (Dwivedi et al 2015;Leonardi 2011;Treem and Leonardi 2012). Consequently, it helps to explain the impact of social media beyond the limited focus of a traditional IS.…”

Enhancing Organisational Competitiveness Via Social Media - a Strategy as Practice Perspective

2017

The affordances, popularity and pervasive use of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have made these platforms attractive to organisations for enhancing their competitiveness and creating business value. Despite this apparent significance of social media for businesses, they are struggling with the development of a social media strategy as well as understanding the implications of social media on practice within their organisations. This paper explores how social media has become a tool for competitiveness and its influence on organisational strategy and practice. Using the 'strategy as practice' lens and guided by the interpretivist philosophy, this paper uses the empirical case of a telecom organisation in Tanzania. The findings show that social media is influencing competitiveness through imitation and product development. Also, the findings indicate how social media affects the practices within an organisation, consequently making the social media strategy an emergent phenomenon.

“…Our interviews targeted only the staff of the IT department. Since, success and failure is a question of judgment, representing the different points of views of particular groups in an organization [80], we encourage researchers to examine the different views of stakeholders in the implementation process. Finally, due to privacy concerns, we were not able to get information on the specific IT processes/controls used in the various stages of IT GRC model.…”

“…Industryfocussed research highlights issues that need to be addressed to capture the full potential of big data -such as innovationincluding data policies, technology infrastructure, organizational change and talent, access to data, and competitive advantage (McKinsey and Company 2011). Although providing a useful starting point for further investigation, the interrelationships between the issues have not been explored, which is necessary for avoiding failure and maximising success of new initiatives in this area (Dwivedi et al 2015a;Hughes et al 2015). Therefore, adopting the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) method, this research seeks to attend to this gap.…”

Driving innovation through big open linked data (BOLD): Exploring antecedents using interpretive structural modelling

et al. 2016

Innovation is vital to find new solutions to problems, increase quality, and improve profitability. Big open linked data (BOLD) is a fledgling and rapidly evolving field that creates new opportunities for innovation. However, none of the existing literature has yet considered the interrelationships between antecedents of innovation through BOLD. This research contributes to knowledge building through utilising interpretive structural modelling to organise nineteen factors linked to innovation using BOLD identified by experts in the field. The findings show that almost all the variables fall within the linkage cluster, thus having high driving and dependence powers, demonstrating the volatility of the process. It was also found that technical infrastructure, data quality, and external pressure form the fundamental foundations for innovation through BOLD. Deriving a framework to encourage and manage innovation through BOLD offers important theoretical and practical contributions.
