The Culture of Information Systems - Guest Jonny Holmström

May 11, 2021 • NTNU - Digital Enterprise • Season 1 • Episode 3

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest Professor Jonny Holmström. Jonny is a professor of Information Systems at Umeå University, co-director, and co-founder of the Swedish Center for Digital Innovation (SCDI). He writes, consults, and speaks on topics such as digital innovation, digital transformation, and digital entrepreneurship. His work has appeared in journals such as Communications of the AIS, Design Issues, European Journal of Information Systems, Information and Organization, Information Systems Journal, Information Technology and People, Journal of the AIS, Journal of Information Technology, Journal of Strategic Information Systems, MIS Quarterly, Research Policy, and The Information Society.

In this episode, we discuss the culture of IS, ranging from culture shocks in different IS environments, to publishing culture as evident in publishing practices, what we choose to study, and why we choose to study it. Ultimately reflecting on three pillars: research, teaching, and service.
