    Harmonisierung divergierender organisationaler Kulturen in öffentlich-privaten IT-Partnerschaften
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 54, No. 3, 2012) Marschollek, Oliver; Beck, Roman
    Die Kooperation öffentlicher und privater Organisationen stellt für Entscheidungsträger des öffentlichen Sektors eine praktikable Möglichkeit dar, um informationstechnologische Infrastrukturen zu verbessern, die Innovationsfähigkeit zu erhöhen und Managementkompetenzen zu steigern. Die effektive Kooperation im Rahmen von öffentlich-privaten Partnerschaften gestaltet sich jedoch schwierig, da die beteiligten Anspruchsgruppen divergierende Interessen verfolgen und unterschiedliche organisationale Kulturen aufweisen. Unter Verwendung der meta-theoretischen Linse institutioneller Logiken analysiert diese explorative, interpretative Fallstudie eine öffentlich-private Partnerschaft in Deutschland, die die Bereitstellung von IT-Dienstleistungen zum Gegenstand hat. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Kulturunterschiede sowie den Prozess, wie die Partner diese durch die Entwicklung und Legitimation einer Partnerschaftsnorm einschließlich der notwendigen Partnerschaftspraktiken abgestimmt haben. Die Analyse zeigt auch, wie öffentliche und private Organisationen den Übergang öffentlicher und privater Mitarbeiter in eine institutionalisierte Partnerschaft sowie das Management unterschiedlicher Organisationskulturen erfolgreich gestalten konnten.AbstractThe cooperation of public and private sector organizations is a viable option for decision makers in the public sector for improving information technology (IT) infrastructures, acquiring innovation, and increasing management know-how. Effective partnering in public–private partnerships (PPP) is difficult though, because the involved stakeholder groups have divergent interests and organizational cultures. Using institutional logics as meta-theoretical lens, this exploratory, interpretive case study analyzes an IT PPP in Germany. The results reveal public- and private-side organizational culture differences and how the partners aligned their cultural differences by the development and legitimization of a partnership norm as well as the necessary partnership practices. The case analysis also illustrates how public sector and private sector organizations succeeded with the transition of public sector and private sector employees into a partnership organization and the management of different organizational cultures.

    Why Incorporating a Platform-Intermediary can Increase Crowdsourcees' Engagement
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 61, No. 4, 2019) Troll, Julia; Blohm, Ivo; Leimeister, Jan Marco
    While the crowdsourcer's job is to encourage valuable contributions and sustained commitment in a cost-effective manner, it seems as if the primary attention of management and research is still centered on the evaluation of contributions rather than the crowd. As many crowdsourcers lack the resources to successfully execute such projects, crowdsourcing intermediaries play an increasingly important role. First studies dealt with internal management challenges of incorporating an intermediary. However, the issue of how intermediaries influence crowdsourcees' psychological and behavioral responses, further referred to as engagement, has not been addressed yet. Consequently, two leading research questions guide this paper: (1) How can the engagement process of crowdsourcees be conceptualized? (2) How and why do crowdsourcing intermediaries impact crowdsourcees' engagement? This study extends existing knowledge by offering IS-researchers a process perspective on engagement and exploring the underlying mechanisms and IT-enabled stimuli that foster value-creation in a mediated and non-mediated setting. A theoretical process model is first conceptualized and then explored with insights from two common cases in the growing field of crowd testing. By triangulating platform and interview data, initial propositions concerning the role of specific stimuli and the intermediary within the engagement process are derived. It is proposed that crowdsourcing enterprises, incorporating intermediaries, have the potential to generate a desired engagement state when perceived stimuli under their control belong to the so-called group of "game changers" and "value adders", while the intermediary controls mainly "risk factor" for absorbing negative experiences. Apart from the theoretical relevance of studying mediated engagement processes and explaining voluntary use and participation in a socio-technical system, findings support decisions on how to effectively incorporate platform intermediaries.
