Institutional change and routine dynamics in service ecosystems

Predicting change impact in Web service ecosystems

Purpose – Web service providers make constant changes to their Web services in order to meet the everchanging business requirements. In this context, Web service providers face a major issue of estimating the potential effects of changing a Web service to other services, especially in large ecosystems of Web services which become more common nowadays. The paper aims to address this issue. Desig...

Endogenous dynamics of institutional change

A parsimonious set of mechanisms explains how and under which conditions behavioral deviations build into cascades that reshape institutional frameworks from the bottom up, even if institutional innovations initially conflict with the legally codified rules of the game. Specifically, we argue that this type of endogenous institutional change emerges from an interplay between three factors: the ...

Evolutionary Theory and the Dynamics of Institutional Change ∗

How do we explain the dynamic processes that underlie institutional change? This is a crucial — and still unresolved — question for the social sciences. Sociologists have tended to analyze institutional change in terms of agency, focusing on the key role of entrepreneurial actors in shaping institutional outcomes (Fligstein and McAdam, 2011) . Rational choice scholars in political science and p...

Perspectives of Big Data Quality in Smart Service Ecosystems (Quality of Design and Quality of Conformance)

Despite the increasing importance of data and information quality, current research related to Big Data quality is still limited. It is particularly unknown how to apply previous data quality models to Big Data. In this paper we review Big Data quality research from several perspectives and apply a known quality model with its elements of conformance to specification and design in the context o...
