Abstract This study examines public organisations planning big data-driven transformations in their service provision. Without radical structural change or managerial system changes, leaders face dilemmas: simply bolting on big data makes little difference. This study is based on a qualitative empirical case study using data collected from the cities of Helsinki and Tampere in Finland. The three core dilemma pairs detected and connected to the big data-related organisational changes are: (1) repetitive continuity vs. visionary change, (2) risk-taking vs. security-seeking and (3) technology-based development vs. human-based development. This study suggests that organisational readiness involves not only capabilities; instead, readiness involves absorbing knowledge, making decisions, handling ambiguities, managing dilemmas. Thus, big data-related transformations in public organisations require embracing the world of dilemmas, since selected and cancelled experiments may each have valuable outcomes. The capability to act on intentions is a prerequisite for readiness; however, a preparedness to detect and address dilemmas is central to big data-related transformations. Thus, the ability to make dilemma decisions is a more complicated characteristic of readiness. In conclusion, our data analysis suggests that traditional public organisational and chance management approaches produce unsolved dilemmas in big data-related organisational changes.

研究阻碍公共部门组织中与大数据相关的变革的核心难题

摘要本研究考察了计划在服务提供中进行大数据驱动转换的公共组织。如果没有根本性的结构变化或管理体制的变化,领导者将面临两难境地:简单地依靠大数据就没有什么区别。这项研究基于定性的经验案例研究,使用了从芬兰赫尔辛基和坦佩雷两个城市收集的数据。检测到并与大数据相关的组织变化相关的三个核心难题对是:(1)重复性连续性与远见变化,(2)冒险性与寻求安全性之间的关系,(3)基于技术的开发与人性化的关系基础的开发。这项研究表明组织准备不仅涉及能力,还涉及能力。相反,准备工作涉及吸收知识,做出决策,处理歧义,管理困境。因此,公共组织中与大数据相关的变革需要拥抱两难世界,因为选择和取消的实验可能各自都有宝贵的成果。根据意图采取行动的能力是准备就绪的先决条件;但是,做好准备以发现并解决难题对于与大数据相关的转换至关重要。因此,做出困境决定的能力是准备工作的更复杂特征。总之,我们的数据分析表明,传统的公共组织和机会管理方法在与大数据相关的组织变革中产生了未解决的难题。做好准备以发现并解决难题对于与大数据相关的转换至关重要。因此,做出困境决定的能力是准备工作的更复杂特征。总之,我们的数据分析表明,传统的公共组织和机会管理方法在与大数据相关的组织变革中产生了未解决的难题。做好准备以发现并解决难题对于与大数据相关的转换至关重要。因此,做出困境决定的能力是准备工作的更复杂特征。总之,我们的数据分析表明,传统的公共组织和机会管理方法在与大数据相关的组织变革中产生了未解决的难题。
