Paper Abstract:
|
This paper discusses the experiences of change through the adoption of digital technologies into the work flow and
business strategies from a sample Community of Practice. Various data collection techniques such as focus groups and
interviews are identified and their implementation is described. The analyses take a Grounded Theory approach and are
varied from content analysis (of the focus groups) to thematic/process analysis (interviews) and a more focused analysis
of specially selected portions of material (axial coding). Finally, there is a thorough discussion of the findings of the data
collected through multiple perspectives including organisational change, technology influenced change and the
knowledge transfer process within changing organisations as evidenced by the changing workflow practices, business
strategy and overall shift in thinking adopted by these organisations. |
