Publication Access status: Open Access , Corona pandemicUnder the direction of the leader, Dr Marén Schorch (sociology and socio-informatics), seven members of the junior research group KONTIKAT (funded by the Federal Ministry for Research and Education (BMBF, 2017-2021)) present their reflections on the Covid19 pandemic and its implications for our research after the first months of the pandemic (in August 2020) from multiple disciplinary perspectives: sociology, economics, information science, and media studies. Our research focuses on investigating „civil and business continuity by means of socio-technical networking in crisis“. The group is one out of five groups in the BMBF funding program under „Civil Security – Promoting young researchers and their interdisciplinary competencies“.

Publication Access status: Open Access , From technology adoption to organizational resilience: A current research perspectiveDigitalization is an ever-increasing phenomenon and is being focused in all prominent research communities around the world. When it comes to businesses, the concept of digitalization can have its far-reaching impacts due to the diverseness of business and distinctiveness of their capabilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are of dire importance in this research arena, due to their immense share in global economy and organizational characteristics. The concept of digitalization needs special attention for these business specimens. Technology adoption models need to be built which can transcend the utility of digitalization and digital technologies in SMEs. We propose a hypothetical technology adoption model for increasing the digital maturity in small and medium business organizations and further proposing that matured digitalization will lead to centralized business continuity infrastructure which can boost the organizational resilience.Source Type:InProceedings1741 1419 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Metadata only , Is digitalization a source of innovation? Exploring the role of digital diffusion in SME innovation performanceDrawing on strategic management theory, this study examines the relationship between digitalization and innovation performance in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We hypothesize that SMEs with higher levels of digital diffusion have higher innovation performance, and that absorptive capacity moderates this relationship. To test this relationship, we use a sample of 1100 German SMEs from the Mannheim Innovation Panel of the Centre for European Economic Research. The results of the multinomial and multivariate probit estimations show that digital diffusion is a significant positive trigger of innovation in SMEs. We also find that absorptive capacity moderates the relationship between digital diffusion and innovation only in the case of product innovation and not for any other type of innovation. Finally, we discuss the implications of our study for research and practice.Source Type:Article4
