How do we truly engage with generative AI tools? We’ve seen some fantastic research on how we interact with AI outputs at work (e.g., looove this paper: https://lnkd.in/evZNKBAu) as well as on strategies on how to improve prompting. But there’s still a gap in understanding the process of engagement during co-creation with generative AI tools in information systems (#IS) research that goes beyond improving #input and understanding #output. In our latest paper, to be presented at #ICIS2024 in Bangkok, we dive into this question by examining how humans engage with generative AI application for creative problem-solving from a processual viewpoint. Our study focuses on ChatGPT as an example of generative AI, analyzing how users integrate knowledge, choose when and when not to rely on AI outputs to shape an outcome, and more. By visually mapping these interactions, we aim to build a theory around engagement patterns in AI co-creation and understand its impact on output quality and perception of such tools.

Prof Jan vom Brocke, one of the world’s leading information systems scholars, delivered the inaugural Distinguished International Collaborator lecture at Maynooth University as part of Research Week 2024, the annual celebration of the multi-disciplinary research under way at the University. Prof vom Brocke, Chair of Information Systems and Business Process Management at the University of Münster in Germany, delivered his lecture, Process Science – Leveraging Digital Trace Data for Service Innovation, in the TSI Building on Thursday. He is one of two academics appointed under MU’s Distinguished International Collaborator programme last year, the first to be appointed to such a role. In his lecture, he addressed how the discipline of process science, which he co-founded, can advance the capabilities of digital service innovation in times of change. #ResearchWeek https://lnkd.in/eQq22rcR

PhD supervision availability! Are you interested in researching #AI, #intelligentautomation, and the #futureofwork? I have #PhD supervision availability for new #doctoralresearchers starting in 2025. Potential research questions we could explore include:  - How do organizations determine which jobs/tasks are appropriate for AI and what factors shape this decision-making process? - How do organizations determine an appropriate level of intelligent automation for tasks, what factors shape this decision-making process, and how does micro level variation of intelligent automation within tasks influence task performance? - How do new configurations of human-AI interactions emerge and what are their impacts on working and organizing? - How do new configurations of human-AI interactions influence human worker performance? - How do organizations decide where the balance of control lies in situations of human-AI conflict and how do contextual factors influence this decision? …and many more!!! see https://lnkd.in/ey-k5jMW We offer our doctoral researchers regular supervision meetings, funding to attend conferences and build networks, a laptop, a shared workspace area in the Business School, and opportunities to develop their teaching skills and earn additional income. For more information and testimonials from our doctoral researchers, go to: https://lnkd.in/eiKA3mKE Our entry requirements are a master's in a relevant subject with an average programme mark of 65% or above (or equivalent international qualification) and a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant discipline. The English Language requirement is a minimum IELTS 7, with 7 in each component. Need funding? Please see these opportunities: https://lnkd.in/eHG2eVxV Interested?

We were delighted to welcome Dr. Markus P. Zimmer at this week’s #ERCIS Lunchtime Seminar. Markus is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Information Systems at Leuphana University of Lüneburg and an adjunct Professor (Docent) in Information Systems Science, specifically Responsible Digital Transformation, at Turku School of Economics at the University of Turku. In his presentation, he discussed the increasing attention that #responsibility is receiving in Information System research. IS scholars mostly focus on a substantive view on responsibility, defining responsibility as, for instance, ensuring digital sustainability, functionality, or data privacy and security. In his talk, Markus spoke about ongoing conceptual work on taking a procedural review for studying responsibility in an IS context. Thank you Markus P. Zimmer for this insightful seminar!

Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Würtemberg? Yes 😊 ! Yesterday we started our ERCIS project seminar at the Universität Münster with the Marquardt Gruppe, a leading manufacturer of electromechanical and electronic switches and switching systems 🙌 . At their beautiful headquarters in Rietheim-Weilheim, the amazing Marquardt team around Annabelle Marquardt, Alexander Resner and Tobias Leiber introduced our Münster student team of Niklas Kloth, Marwin Kralemann, Leon Schlößer, Mubariz Ahmad, Sandesh Kumar, Lukas Gerwens and Jonas Reinhard to multiple new Marquardt technologies, gave us an insightful company tour and started working with the students on their digital product innovation challenges 🔥 . Thank you very much for having us and we are more than excited to tackle the challenges together 🙏 😊 ! #ercis #marquardtgroup #informationsystems

It was a pleasure to host Prof. Dragos Vieru in this week’s #ERCIS Lunchtime Seminar. Prof. Dr. Vieru is a Full Professor at the Université TÉLUQ in Montréal, Canada, and a researcher at the Research Group in Information Systems of HEC Montréal. He holds a Ph.D. in IT Management from HEC Montréal and has a special research interest in IT-enabled organizational change, global IT digital sourcing, and ethics in IT. In his presentation, he addressed the #Environmental, #Social, and #Governance (#ESG) concept, which is driven by various policy initiatives around the globe and has garnered significant attention from firms and academics due to the challenges associated with assembling ESG reports. Digital platform-based approaches are seen as for a central building block for managing ESG initiatives, offering vital support in addressing issues related to assembling, processing, and reporting ESG data. The research project presented examines how a collaboration between a platform owner, a complementor, and a user co-designs ESG reporting features using an ecosystem approach within a multi-boundary digital platform context. It emphasizes the necessity of design support to navigate the technical and practical challenges in crafting transparent algorithmic solutions on ESG platforms. Thank you Dragos Vieru for this inspiring seminar!
