Abstract The recent rise of using digital representations for products and processes has created a movement to use ‘digital twins’ for organization design. We provide an overview of the notion of digital twin as a synchronized, real-time two-way interacting digital representation of the real-world phenomenon it is expected to replicate as a twin. The claim […]

Abstract A growing body of literature argues that digital models do not just help organizational leaders to predict the future. Models can inadvertently produce the very future they purport to describe. In this view, performativity is a side-effect of digital modeling. But digital twins turn such thinking on its head. Digital twins are digital models

Abstract To manage the challenges associated with increasing costs and demand for healthcare, administrators often propose a re-structure of the workforce to gain more efficiencies. However, this can have detrimental impacts on professions such as allied health if the uniqueness of this workforce is not taken into consideration before, during and after re-structuring. In the

Abstract Self-management has been explored in research for more than half a century and is said to be linked to several positive effects ranging from a more egalitarian and democratic structure to enhanced productivity, improved quality of work and greater adaptability. More recently, the self-managing organization (SMO) has emerged as a novel organizational structure that

Abstract Decisions—whether made by individuals or groups—often involve estimating quantities, a process that is subject to anchoring bias (Tversky and Kahneman in Science 185: 1124–1131, 1974). Differences in susceptibility to anchoring bias between individuals and groups have been recently explored with the result that groups appear less biased than individuals (Meub and Proeger in Theor

Abstract AI robot bosses are becoming increasingly prevalent in organizations, and they expand the traditional organizational design space. Organizations can benefit from utilizing both robots and humans as bosses, as they can substitute for each other and work together as complements across different organizational structures. This expanded design space includes different kinds of AI robots

Abstract Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital assets based on blockchain technology that are increasingly being used for various applications in organizations. Given NFTs’ unique technological features, we posit that traditional, centralized organizations can adopt them to introduce novel solutions to the fundamental problems of organizing, namely, division of labor and integration of efforts. We examine the

Abstract Research has significantly advanced the understanding of the benefits that Design Thinking can offer organizations and firmly established the importance of effective teams for them. Yet, a critical inquiry remains: What specific benefits does Design Thinking confer upon teamwork and its outcomes? This article conducts a systematic review, synthesizing empirical evidence from literature to
