Other

Gurca, A, Ravishankar, MN, Pradhan, S (2019) Evolving organizational design for digital enterprises in developing countries: A dialectic perspective, Digital enterprises in developing countries (DEDCs) must meet challenging demands from clients, while generating positive outcomes for society. This implies a maintaining several dialectic tensions in a sustainable equilibrium. Drawing on an in-depth qualitative case study, we identify and discuss three tensions pertinent to DEDCs: positive social impact-profitability, accuracy-scalability and trust-vigilance. We then emphasize interdependencies between these tensions and explain that addressing one tension may indirectly enhance or constrain other tensions. We further provide empirical evidence on the three tensions and we show how DEDC organizational design evolves over time in response to these tensions..
