A Process Pattern Model for Tackling and Improving Big Data Quality
Information Systems Frontiers, 2018Co-Authors: Agung Wahyudi, George Kuk, Marijn JanssenAbstract:Data seldom create value by themselves. They need to be linked and combined from multiple sources, which can often come with variable data quality. The task of improving data quality is a recurring challenge. In this paper, we use a case study of a large Telecom Company to develop a generic process pattern model for improving data quality. The process pattern model is defined as a proven series of activities, aimed at improving the data quality given a certain context, a particular objective, and a specific set of initial conditions. Four different patterns are derived to deal with the variations in data quality of datasets. Instead of having to find the way to improve the quality of big data for each situation, the process model provides data users with generic patterns, which can be used as a reference model to improve big data quality.

Towards Process Patterns for Processing Data Having Various Qualities
2016Co-Authors: Agung Wahyudi, Marijn JanssenAbstract:Organizations become more data-intensive and companies try to reap the benefits from this. Although there is a large amount of data available, this data has often different qualities which hinders use. Creating value from big data requires dealing with the variations in quality. Depending on their quality, data need to be processed in various ways to prepare this data for use. Although the processes vary, dealing with certain levels of data quality is a recurring challenge for many organizations. By developing generic process patterns organizations can reuse each other solutions. In this paper, process patterns for dealing with various levels of data quality are derived based on a case study of a large Telecom Company that employs all kinds of data to create operational value. The process patterns can possibly be used by other organizations.

Stress and Health among Women and Men in a Swedish Telecom Company
European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, 2003Co-Authors: Eva Torkelson, Tuija MuhonenAbstract:The aim of the study was to investigate gender differences at managerial and non-managerial level in perceived stress and control and the relationship to health problems. Questionnaires were collected from 281 women and men at both managerial and non-managerial level in a sales department in a large Swedish Telecom Company. The results showed only minor differences in perceived stress and no differences in perceived control when comparing men and women working at the same level in the organization. Instead the differences in perceived stress and control were found between managers and non-managers. In addition, the study showed both differences and similarities in explaining health symptoms for women and men at the same organizational level. Similarities were found at a non-managerial level but at a managerial level health problems were not predicted by the same factors for women and men. The need to consider organizational level in future studies about stress and gender is addressed. (Less)

Restructuring an Empire. A narrative study of the turnaround of the Telecom Company Ericsson
2007Co-Authors: Carina BeckermanAbstract:The turnaround of the Telecom Company Ericsson is considered a unique chapter in Swedish business life in terms of complexity, size and speed. This paper focuses on how some of the interpretative schemes of the employees were transformed during the turnaround and the organizational setting restructured. Instead of making a conventional study of a change process this study uses narrative method and explores the transformation through the eyes of four people. In this way this study hopes to be able to present a broader picture of some of the organizational learning that takes place during events like this, since storytelling is crucial when people make sense of their everyday life. A narrative analysis approach will not result in the one “true” account of a phenomenon. However, narrative analysis can provide detailed insights into individual informants understanding of events and highlight similarities and differences in interpretations that are interesting also for outsiders to take part of. The findings indicate that not only the interpretative schemes for how to run the Company were transformed but also how the employees view the world.

A narrative study of the turnaround of the Telecom Company Ericsson
2007Co-Authors: Carina BeckermanAbstract:The turnaround of the Telecom Company Ericsson is considered a unique chapter in Swedish business life in terms of complexity, size and speed. This paper focuses on implications of the transformation for how the management views the world and how the organizational setting is restructured. Instead of making a conventional study of a change process this study uses narrative method and explores the transformation through the eyes of four people, two top managers and two middle managers. In this way it hopes to present a picture of some of the knowledge building that takes place during events like this, since storytelling seems to be crucial when people make sense of their everyday life. A narrative analysis will not result in the one “true” account of a phenomenon. However, it can provide detailed insights into individual informants understanding of events and highlight similarities and differences in interpretations that are interesting also for outsiders to take part of.
