𝗣𝗵𝗗 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 Hila Lifshitz We hope you had a great start to the new year! 🎆 Before the Christmas holidays, the inaugural year of the PhD Research Academy ended with a highly informative session. Hila Lifshitz shared her expertise on „Pitfalls and advantages of case study research: When is it worth going to the wild?“. Thank you, Hila, for so freely sharing your extensive experiences! We talked about different types of field research such as (n)ethographies, interviews, and field experiments, and discussed advantages and pitfalls of time-constraint field research settings such as hackathons. Our main takeaways: 🌟 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱? Field research is especially suitable for studying 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙖 for which we don’t yet have archival data, studying phenomena 𝙞𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙝, and for understanding processes in real-life settings. 👩🔧 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱? First, identify the right 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 where field research can make a difference (see above). Second, experiences show that field researchers 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 6-10 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙨 before gaining access to a suitable field. Third, field research is about 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜, i.e., earning trust and immersing yourself in the field to truly understand the behavior and roles of the entities you study. 🧐 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮? Directly 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙢 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 while or after talking to people in the field is vital to ensure transparent data collection. Annotations allow for understanding this data after years have passed, e.g., in a review process. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙨 are useful for analyzing the field data, e.g., based on a 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙮 approach.   Although field research takes its time and the data may seem messy at some points, field researchers have a lot of freedom and can cover the spectrum from inductive to deductive research.

Join us for the next AIS SIG DITE seminar of 2024. This time, Aron Lindberg talks about apps, ecosystems and the concept of platform discovery. The meeting will be on November 21, 3pm CET, 9am ET. As always, the seminar is open to everyone, and participation is possible through Zoom: Meeting-ID: 922 4038 2928 Password: 710177. In his paper, Aron sheds light on how platform ecosystems can be constructed. Based upon a case study within a major software development company Aron shows us the development of how an ecosystem can be formed starting from just a couple of non-connected apps. By drawing on modular architectures and transaction costs two mechanisms are shown: decomposing and coupling. You want to know how the story ends? Then join us in the seminar. This seminar is organized by the SIG DITE community managed by: Abayomi Baiyere Lauri Wessel Jan Recker Kathryn Brohman, Ph.D. Julian Lehmann Dr. Ann-Katrin Eicke Oliver Vetter Katharina Drechsler
