Orchestration paradoxes in national quantum computing innovation ecosystems

Effective orchestration is a critical driver of success in quantum computing innovation (QCI) ecosystems. Heterogeneous actor goals, roles, and power relations, however, produce tensions that confront orchestrators with paradoxical situations in which they must navigate trade-offs between competing demands. To orchestrate an ecosystem effectively, these tensions must be recognized and balanced rather than eliminated. Prior research has largely overlooked the role of paradoxes in ecosystem orchestration or has focused mainly on interfirm relationships. This study addresses this gap by examining a government led national QCI ecosystem that includes firms, research organizations, funding bodies, and governmental actors. Using an explorative case study with 15 informants from the Finnish QCI ecosystem and drawing on paradox theory as an analytical lens, we identify core paradoxical tensions and show how they challenge ecosystem orchestration. We contribute nuanced insights into the origins and dynamics of paradoxical tensions and discuss the implications for orchestrating multi-actor ecosystems.

Managing Blockchain Systems and Applications: A Process Model for Blockchain Configurations

Blockchain is a radical innovation with a unique value proposition that shifts trust from institutions to algorithms. Still, the potential of blockchains remains elusive due to knowledge gaps between computer science research and socio-economic research. Building on information technology governance literature and the theory of coevolution, this study develops a process model for blockchain configurations that captures blockchain capability dimensions and application areas. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed blockchain configuration process model on four blockchain projects. The proposed blockchain configuration process model assists with the selection and configuration of blockchain systems based on a set of known requirements for a blockchain project. Our findings contribute to research by bridging knowledge gaps between computer science and socio-economic research on blockchain. Specifically, we explore existing blockchain concepts and integrate them in a process model for blockchain configurations.

Design Science Research Process: A Model for Producing and Presenting Information Systems Research

The authors design and demonstrate a process for carrying out design science (DS) research in information systems and demonstrate use of the process to conduct research in two case studies. Several IS researchers have pioneered the acceptance of DS research in IS, but in the last 15 years little DS research has been done within the discipline. The lack of a generally accepted process for DS research in IS may have contributed to this problem. We sought to design a design science research process (DSRP) model that would meet three objectives: it would be consistent with prior literature, it would provide a nominal process model for doing DS research, and it would provide a mental model for presenting and appreciating DS research in IS. The process includes six steps: problem identification and motivation, objectives for a solution, design and development, evaluation, and communication. We demonstrated the process by using it in this study and by presenting two case studies, one in IS planning to develop application ideas for mobile financial services and another in requirements engineering to specify feature requirements for a self service advertising design and sales system intended for wide audience end users. The process effectively satisfies the three objectives and has the potential to help aid the acceptance of DS research in the IS discipline.

100+ Metrics for Software Startups - A Multi-Vocal Literature Review

Metrics can be used by businesses to make more objective decisions based on data. Software startups in particular are characterized by the uncertain or even chaotic nature of the contexts in which they operate. Using data in the form of metrics can help software startups to make the right decisions amidst uncertainty and limited resources. However, whereas conventional business metrics and software metrics have been studied in the past, metrics in the spe-cific context of software startup are not widely covered within academic literature. To promote research in this area and to create a starting point for it, we have conducted a multi-vocal literature review focusing on practitioner literature in order to compile a list of metrics used by software startups. Said list is intended to serve as a basis for further research in the area, as the metrics in it are based on suggestions made by practitioners and not empirically verified.
