The rise of digital innovations is critical to many people and organizations in the Global South. By looking at programmers and their associated networks as digital production environment, this article aims to shed light on digital innovation processes to get a better understanding of those networks' inherent characteristics. With analyzing coding networks in Zambia's capital Lusaka, the study combines cultural legitimacy as a perspective from innovation scholars with scale. The case study is built on Geels' and Verhees' (2011) conceptualization of frames that stakeholders use to promote technology, and shows how members of coding networks produce and push legitimacy. Looking through the lenses of scale at perceived plausibility and salience of the production of frames, a variety of promoted frames around technology in connection to their actor's credibility, empirical fit, and macro-cultural resonance are identified. Further, the research identifies influence structures within coding networks effecting their members scope of actions.

International audience ; Avec l'hyperconnexion, le musée pourrait vouloir devenir un hyper-lieu, un régime spatial fort, qui signifie sa modernitéet son importance dans la vie de la cité à travers sa dimension sociale et politique. Le musée hyperconnecté s'intéresse à l'expérience de ses visiteurs, à ce qu'il se passe entre les visiteurs, à l'influence de ce lieu sur la pensée des visiteurs. Il pourrait devenir un terrain de recherche sur l'expérience et nous faire découvrir ce qu'est l'expérience de comprendre, penser, aimer, partager. Ce musée rejoint le concept d'un musée expérimental (Brulon Soares, 2017), attentif à la façon dont les citoyens souhaitent se relier aux œuvres et aux contenus pour construire des significations partagées et des collectifs.

The Air Force has increasingly invested in persistent surveillance platforms gathering a large amount of surveillance video. Ordinarily, intelligence analysts watch the video to determine if suspicious activities are occurring. This approach to video analysis can be a very time and manpower intensive process. Instead, this thesis proposes that by using tracks generated from persistent video, we can build a model to detect events for an intelligence analyst. The event that we chose to detect was a suspicious surveillance activity known as a casing event. To test our model we used Global Positioning System (GPS) tracks generated from vehicles driving in an urban area. The results show that over 400 vehicles can be monitored simultaneously in real-time and casing events are detected with high probability (43 of 43 events detected with only 4 false positives). Casing event detections are augmented by determining which buildings are being targeted. In addition, persistent surveillance video is used to construct a social network from vehicle tracks based on the interactions of those tracks. Social networks that are constructed give us further information about the suspicious actors flagged by the casing event detector by telling us who the suspicious actor has interacted with and what buildings they have visited. The end result is a process that automatically generates information from persistent surveillance video providing additional knowledge and understanding to intelligence analysts about terrorist activities.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to deliver further insights into empirical research on corporate governance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) by systematizing existing knowledge, identifying current investigation backlogs, and deriving specific implications for future empirical research to address the lack of empirical knowledge in this field.Design/methodology/approachThe study follows a literature analysis approach through a systematic, quantitative analysis of broad-based database queries from EBSCOhost and Web of Science to derive recommendations for future empirical research on SOE-oriented corporate governance.FindingsThe results indicate that empirical SOE-oriented corporate governance research is a growing field with wide-ranging opportunities for investigation. Given the lack of qualitative empirical research (representing only 21.7 percent of the studies identified) and the massive focus on regression analyses (69.9 percent) and secondary database data (77.2 percent), future empirical approaches should consider different methods and data sources. More qualitative research is needed for exploratory designs and canonical correlation-based statistical methods seem helpful for confirmatory approaches. In addition, 50.4 percent of the studies identified have a Chinese background, indicating room for studies from different cultural contexts.Research limitations/implicationsGiven the range of the research field and the eclectic nature of the analytical approach, it is unlikely that every relevant scientific publication is included.Originality/valueSince this study is the first of its kind, it contributes to SOE-oriented corporate governance research by drawing on a wide-ranging selection of studies and analyzing them to derive straightforward recommendations for future empirical research.
