The Culture of Information Systems - Guest Jonny Holmström

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.  Shoutout to these other great podcasts, check them out!This IS Research podcast with Jan Recker and Nick Berente10 Minutes IS paper podcast with Blair WangTalking about organizations podcastSIGPhil with Mijalche SantaEthnography Atelier with a network of organizers  (a great recent find!)References:Holmstrom, J.
