cargo cult science in Traditional Organization and information systems survey research a case for using nonTraditional methods of data collection including mechanical turk and online panels
2016Co-Authors: Paul Benjamin Lowry, John Darcy, Bryan Hammer, Gregory D. MoodyAbstract:Traditional Organizational and information systems (IS) researchers have stridently resisted data collections using online data panels, such as Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Although many of their concerns are legitimate, we strongly disagree with the grounds and substance of their reasons for avoiding such data collections — especially their flawed assumption that paper-based survey methods are inherently superior simply based on “tradition,” which is a highly unscientific practice we label as “cargo cult science.” To address this issue, we summarize several of the major criticisms Traditionalists use against MTurk data, and we explain (1) how many of these criticisms apply more strongly to Traditional survey methods, and (2) how by using advanced features of MTurk in conjunction with survey software such as Qualtrics or Survey Monkey, researchers can navigate around many of these limitations. We conclude by demonstrating several leading practices that can be used to achieve high quality data collections with MTurk and the several advantages of doing so. Nonetheless, even when conducting Traditional paper-based surveys, researchers can benefit from several (not all) of the leading methodological practices that have been developed by those who have pushed the boundaries of data collection using online panels — including for Organization-level data collections. We conclude by cautioning that no “proven” method without inherent flaws exists, and Organizational and IS research would benefit from a clearer articulation and understanding of the range of methods and data sources available, along with their limitations and advantages.

Cargo Cult science in Traditional Organization and information systems survey research
The Journal of Strategic Information Systems, 2016Co-Authors: Paul Benjamin Lowry, John D'arcy, Bryan I. Hammer, Gregory D. MoodyAbstract:Traditional Organization and information systems (IS) researchers have stridently resisted data collections using online data panels, such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Although many of their concerns are legitimate, we strongly disagree with the grounds and substance of their reasons for avoiding such data collections-especially their flawed assumption that paper-based survey methods are inherently superior simply based on "tradition", which is a highly unscientific practice we label as "cargo cult science". To address this issue, we summarize several of the major criticisms Traditionalists use against MTurk data, and we explain (1) how many of these criticisms apply more strongly to Traditional survey methods, and (2) how by using advanced features of MTurk in conjunction with survey software such as Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey, researchers can navigate around many of these limitations. We conclude by demonstrating several leading practices that can be used to achieve high quality data collections with MTurk and the several advantages of doing so. Nonetheless, even when conducting Traditional paper-based surveys, researchers can benefit from several (not all) of the leading methodological practices that have been developed by those who have pushed the boundaries of data collection using online panels-including for Organization-level data collections. We conclude by cautioning that no "proven" method without inherent flaws exists, and Organization and IS research would benefit from a clearer articulation and understanding of the range of methods and data sources available, along with their limitations and advantages.

The winds of change: digital technologies trading information and managing intellectual property rights.
International Journal of Technology Management, 1998Co-Authors: Puay Tang, Willem HulsinkAbstract:The paper will investigate how the management of intellectual property rights will affect the shaping of the newly emerging global and digital market place. The relevant question to be dealt with is: how can we understand the transformation in the content/copyright industries (as a consequence of technical change, sectoral convergence, and international deregulation) and the newly emerging patterns of competition in the digital/global era? Besides giving an overview of the Traditional Organization of the copyright industry (from creation and collective administration of rights to content production companies, and usage), the paper will discuss the major technological, economic, political-institutional, and international challenges creators, collecting societies and 'content companies' face now and in the near future. Finally, the coordination problems between creators, collecting societies, publishers and users, and the strategic opportunities and responses of the major stakeholders in the competitive copyright industries will be analysed. Although the discussion focuses on the developments of advanced industrial economies, the impact of these developments will have implications for economies that are less 'digitally' developed.

Quality Organization and risk in anaesthesia: the French perspective
Current opinion in anaesthesiology, 2017Co-Authors: Jean Marty, Emmanuel SamainAbstract:PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ensuring the quality and safety of anaesthesia in the face of budgetary restrictions and changing demographics is challenging. In France, the environment is regulated by the legislation, and it is often necessary to find solutions that seize opportunities to break with the Traditional Organization. RECENT FINDINGS Postoperative mortality remains excessively high. The move towards ambulatory care is being adequately integrated into all the stages of patient management in the context of a single therapeutic plan that is mutually agreed upon by all caregivers. The French National Health Authority, which provides certification for healthcare establishments, encourages this 'seamless' approach between private practice and the hospital setting, based on teamwork and interdisciplinary consultation. By daring to break with Traditional Organizational structures, and by taking account of human factors and staged strategies, it is possible to deliver appropriate care, with a level of quality and safety that meets users' demands. SUMMARY The management of a patient undergoing surgery with anaesthesia is a seamless spectrum from the patient's home to the hospital and back to home. Decision-making must be multidisciplinary. Increased use of ambulatory care, breaks with Traditional Organizational structures, and efforts to reduce postoperative mortality represents opportunities to improve overall system performance. Demographic and economic constraints are potential threats to be identified.
