Reihe: Lecture Notes in Information Systems and Organisation

This book argues that “organizing” is a broader term than managing, as it entails understanding how people and machines interact with each other; how resources, data, goods are exchanged in complex and intertwined value chains; and how lines of action and activities can be articulated using flexible protocols and often ad-hoc processes in situated practices of use and production.
The book presents a collection of research papers shedding new light on these phenomena and related practices from both academic and professional perspectives. Given the plurality of views that it offers, the book makes a relevant contribution to the understanding and appreciation of the complexity of the digital world at various levels of granularity. It focuses on how individuals, communities and the coopetitive societies of our new, global and hyperconnected world produce value and pursue their objectives and ideals in mutually dependent ways. The content of the book is based on a selection of the best papers - original double-blind peer-reviewed contributions - presented at the annual conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, which was held in Milan, Italy in October 2017.

Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan, Italy) where he teaches Human-Computer Interaction and Data Visualization. His current research interests regard the impact of new technologies in the workplace, and the design of interactive systems supporting knowledge work in cooperative settings, especially in the health care sector. He is author of more than 120 research publications to date, in international conference proceedings, edited books and scientific journals.

Carlo Batini obtained the graduation in Engineering at University of Roma “La Sapienza” in 1972, and the post graduation in Computer Science in 1973. Since 1986 he has been full professor at University of Roma “La Sapienza”.

In 2009 he received the IBM Faculty Award. In 2013 he received in Hong Kong the Elsevier Peter P. Chen Award for his research, teaching and publishing activity in conceptual modeling.

Massimo Magni is an associate professor of management at Bocconi University and he has been the director of the Organization and HR Department at SDA Bocconi School of Management. His research interests include technology-enhanced behaviors, information systems development teams in geographically dispersed settings, and adoption and acceptance of new technologies. His current research interests revolve around emergent behaviors under pressure both at the individual and team level of analysis, as well as conducting multilevel research that bridges team context and individual behaviors. His work has been published in information systems and management journals including MIS Quarterly, Journal of Management Information Systems, Research Policy, Journal of Product Innovation Management, International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, Academy of Management Learning & Education, International Journal of Human Resource Management, and Behaviour & Information Technology.
