How does algorithmic work and datafication reconfigure value across service ecosystems? - 6 Oct 2021

On the 6th of October, we will welcome Visiting Professor Eivor Oborn in presenting an academic seminar about her latest research exploring how algorithmic work and datafication reconfigures value across service ecosystems. This seminar represents an integrative and important part of the House of Innovation's strategy to build a research environment through engagement with prominent guests and their work.

Visiting Professor Oborn's research builds on the emerging literature regarding algorithms to examine the changing service value that is made possible in an ecosystem through algorithmic work. While previous literature has emphasized algorithmic processes by which professional work or worker relations may be reconfigured, or how organizations might be held to account, this research focuses on how algorithms enable and circulate new forms of value.

Eivor Oborn is current Professor of Healthcare Management in the area of Innovation and Organizational Change at Warwick Business School, UK. She earned her PhD at Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge in 2006, and is currently an honorary Fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School and Fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Digital Innovation (CDI).

This seminar is a part of the Academic Seminar Series offered in cooperation with the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship.
