Call for papers - EGOS Subtheme 34: How Digital Technologies are (Re-)Creating Professions
Interested in how digitalization recreates professions, professional service firms and professional work? Then send us your best work and interesting ideas!
This sub-theme takes stock of and further advances the expanding scholarly conversations on the dynamics between digital technology and professional services. We aim to deepen, explore, and integrate our knowledge about recent changes driven by digital technologies and the implications for organizing professional services, both in terms of existing professions and new ways of organizing expertise in society. To contribute to developing and integrating theories on the subject, we explore the shift in existing professional services at multiple levels (professions, PSFs and individual professionals). This sub-theme will provide an inclusive and welcoming platform for the exchange and proliferation of creative and diverse ideas. The following questions are of interest to this sub-theme, but we welcome contributions from diverse perspectives, methods, and contexts.
- How does the rise of new technologies maintain, change, or (re-)create professionals' work?
- How do professionals manage their professional identity with changing professional services?
- How do new technologies affect professional careers?
- How are professional practices built into technology?
- What explains the diversity of responses to those technologies across individual professionals/PSFs/professions?
- How do professionals maintain or innovate professional institutions?
