Exploitation And Exploration Of It In Times Of Pandemic: From Dealing With Emergency To Institutionalising Crisis Practices |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
When looking at changes in IT adoption and use in organisations, our theories rely - for the most part - on slow adoption timespans or - to a lesser extent - abrupt crises of short duration. We lack a model of IT adoption during a crisis of extended duration. This paper tackles this gap by looking at the IT-explorative and -exploitative teaching-related practices of university lecturers in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Based on qualitative data from three European higher education institutions and their responses to the COVID-19 crisis, we propose a process model of IT exploration/exploitation under a condition of extended crisis. The model shows that IT use and practices in response to a prolonged crisis go through phases, presenting predictable challenges that management can alleviate with a well-timed approach. |
