Digitization of economic activity presents numerous behavioral, organizational, and competitive challenges to firms. For instance, online markets for talent and labor allow firms to out-source complex tasks but may have implications for organizational learning. Adoption of digital technologies may require complementary investments in rare skills or organizational changes with respect to decision making to bring about the productivity improvements in full. Information technologies and the associated availability of data may also influence the very processes of invention by altering the cost of information and analytics and therefore the opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation. This symposium brings together leading experts on the strategic opportunities and challenges arising from the digitization of organizations and markets. The five included papers explore the impact of information technologies on invention; the effects of emerging digital data on innovation and entrepreneurship; the skill implications of technology adoption; and the impact of data-driven decision making and supply chain applications on productivity.
The five papers are:
Koutroumpis, Leiponen & Thomas - Invention machines: How instruments and information technologies drive global technological progress
Nagaraj - The private impact of public maps: Landsat satellite imagery and gold exploration
McElheran & Brynjolfsson - Data in action: Data-driven decision making in US manufacturing
Angle & Forman - E-Commerce in the manufacturing supply chain: An empirical analysis
Tambe - Why do high-tech firms provide perks at work?
