Abayomi Baiyere, PhD
The rise of digital-themed research is signaling the dawn of a new era. Emerging digital-themed studies such as digital transformation, digital entrepreneurship, digital innovation – “digital x” for short - have argued that the logic of theorizing about “x” does not necessarily translate to the digital – yet we have limited theoretical explanations and toolkits for this. We propose a theory of digital practices to explain the unit of “doing”, that is, what transpires in attaining a digital-themed objective. We present digital practices as a conceptual bridge that allows for interdisciplinary conversation around objective-driven digital-themed research.
