Discuss how the “barriers,” “challenges,” and “power dynamics” respectively described in the three papers relate to the three dimensions of information systems in Figure 1.5 and Section 1.6 of the textbook. 2. Discuss how the proposed “solutions,” “mitigating actions,” and “power-sensitive framework” respectively described in the three papers relate to the notions of “complementary assets” and “sociotechnical systems’” in Sections1.8 and 1.9 of the textbook. 3. What kinds of ethical issues/dilemmas – regardless of whether explicitly mentioned or not – might be relevant to the contexts of these three papers? How might they be addressed? 1. The barriers, challenges, and power dynamics described in paper 1 can be directly tied to the three dimensions of IS shown in the textbook. When it comes to the organizational dimension AI adoption can be limited by a lack of knowledge or a cultural resistance around AI and can ultimately create an asymmetrical power dynamic within an organization. Technologically, one of the biggest barriers and challenges a firm can face in AI implementation is if the data being fed to the AI is poor quality or if the AI that is being implemented within the firm has difficulty with or is unable to integrate with the systems already in place within a firm. Finally, when it comes to the managerial dimension, article 1 highlights that the operational execution and the overall strategic intent for this AI integration weren’t aligned because these AI initiatives “have been born at the team level” (Edval da Silva Tavares, Leardini, & de Paula Pessoa, 2025) rather than as coordinated initiatives from leadership. Some of the biggest barriers and challenges highlighted in article 2 can be seen in the organizational dimension where firm leadership was faced with “fear of surveillance, balancing intuition and objectivity, and knowing how to leverage data-driven decision-making” (Müller, Zaggl, Svangaard, & Jakobsen, 2025) by their employees. This will lead to power dynamics within the firm as leadership will need to figure out how to manage these challenges to successfully implement the desired changes without driving away employees. When it comes to the technological dimension, this article showed that leadership struggled with practical integration and noted that organizations oftentimes lack clarity or understanding on the best ways to utilize data-driven decisionmaking. Finally, for the managerial dimension, not only did the firm’s leadership need to navigate employee concerns, but they also Read More …
