In recent information systems research, design science that puts importance on practical relevance attracts many scholars' attention. Some IS researchers expect design science to overcome the positivist approach that lost practical relevance in exchange for scientific rigor. Does dismissing positivism, however, truly make design science more relevant? Even if IS researchers would broaden their methods such as compensatory multi-method or multilevel analysis, they are still under traditional philosophy of science as usual. This paper shows how rigorous scientific methods of positivism can ensure scientific relevance to intervention through an examination of behavioral science and action science. The latter has established by Chris Argyris as the new philosophy of science aimed at intervention into practice. In particular, three fundamental methods of positivism are examined: description, causal explanation, and hypothesis testing.

Market environment surrounding enterprises and various organizations is globalized ever faster and very fluid. Establishment of sustainable competitive advantage is sought for every organization to develop, survive and adapt in such managerial circumstances. Innovation is one of useful managerial principle. In this paper, the applicability of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as an analytical viewpoint to innovation studies was discussed. ANT is a prime example of the Socio-Technical approach. First, precedent innovation studies were surveyed and current streams of the studies were confirmed. Then, precedent innovation studies applied ANT were surveyed and the differences between them were clarified. From these differences, the usefulness and applicability of ANT as an analytical viewpoint to innovation studies were concluded. One of reasons is, ANT analyzes innovation from not the viewpoint of reductionism but the viewpoint of relationship. Furthermore, the viewpoint of ANT has an affinity for the viewpoint of innovation studies in general management studies, especially the viewpoint that focuses on process and network. Starting on the study of innovation using ANT, it will have the complexity that all things are treated as variables without the assumption that something is constant tacitly. However it has the possibility to discuss the innovation topic from the difference views and to derive some unique results. Lastly, two issues for innovation studies using ANT were brought.

This study illustrates the value evaluation process of Saké in the French market developing through a review of a survey of Lamont (2012) that attempted to capture value evaluation research from various perspectives. Lamont has derived three evaluation processes: “Categorization and Legitimation”, “Identifying and Producing of Heterarchies”, and “Evaluative practices”. Based on these, we portrayed how Japanese Saké has been evaluated in French market, where a wine value evaluation system has been already established. As a result, it was confirmed that heterarchies that are structured around the spread of Japanese Saké lead to new practices, thereby establishing relationships that share value in other institutional areas under the situation where there is no consistent value evaluation system in the overseas market. In other words, it was confirmed that the evaluation practices legitimate other institutional contexts accompanied the process of expanding and changing the organizational fields.

Working from home has hardly taken root in Japan. However, emergency declaration against COVID-19 forced many workers to work from home. Several surveys have examined the “productivity” of those workers, but the results have varied. This paper examines and analyzes 567 samples of workers who worked from home during the emergency declaration, and investigation the situation and related factors of “subjective productivity”, which is the self-assessment of productivity of working from home. Age, presence of children, and readiness for working from home were found to be related to subjective productivity. The frequency of working from home after the state of emergency was lifted, as well as desire and possibility, were found to be related to subjective productivity.

In this study, relation between user’s engagement and motivation in Gamification. It describes the broad trend of applying game mechanics to non-game environments to motivate people and change behavior. It is increasingly popular as means of enhancing user interest and usability in various sectors. The following results were obtained: Gamification has a deep connection with user’s engagement and motivation. People are motivated by maintaining a sense of autonomy, progressing toward mastery, and engaging with a purpose larger than themselves. In conclusion Gamification is very relevant to health care services. Gamification will be inspired by offering extrinsic and intrinsic rewards to direct behavioral changes. Gamification is that it uses a digital model to extend engagement and motivation, breaking the barriers of scale, time, distance, connectedness, and cost.

In information system research, research focusing on the practice of IT artifacts has received muchattention. One perspective is the idea of “design science.” The focus of Design Science is a research on IT artifacts developed based on Simonʼs seminal book “The Science of the artifacts”. However, there is no consensus on the idea of digital science, and there is confusion over the perspectives. Therefore, in this paper, in order to unravel conceptual confusion of design science, the author conduct a comprehensive review of previous studies with two keywords “design” and “science” as clues.

This paper examines political aspects of valuation practice, setting a goal of ROE (Return on Equity)8% to achieve sustainable value creation for Japanese companies. After carefully analyzing the 2008 financial crisis, it was found that corporate governance reforms were implemented globally to overcome short-termism. The Japanese government also implemented corporate governance reforms, and METI (The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) published the Ito Review in 2014 and set a ROE8% as a goal for sustainable value creation. However, instead of promoting sustainable value creation by Japanese companies, this led to actions that focused on shortterm results.

Technology research has until the present aimed at understanding technology as an artificial matter constituted by physical elements and social elements in order to avoid treating technology as a physical cause of change. However, when technology is perceived as a network formed by different kinds of material as black boxes, the merkmals which characterize technology are vanish, leading to the disappearance of the technology. This article deduces a plan to recover the technology which has been vanished as an object of analysis in technology research by a rereading of the actor-network theory. Under this framework, the path will be found to recover the vanished technology from an analysis of the institutionalization of technical innovation in the making of the NC lathe machine tool market.

In recent management information studies, actor-network theory (ANT) drew attention as the theoretical framework for understanding the increasingly sophisticated practice of information management that is neither purely technological nor social and to reexamine the dichotomy. However, this paper observes the revival of micro/macro and society/technology dichotomies in management information research based on ANT. In this paper, I shed light on the theoretical reason behind problems and the potential value of ANT in AIS.

The aim of this paper is to explore the constructive aspects of numbers based on literature reviews for accounting researches, which employed sociology of translation. Focusing on the materialized aspect of accounting, we argue that accounting plays the role of constructing the practices. First, accounting numbers are constructed in the relations within the organizational practice and, at the same time, they influence the network which enables these practices. Second, accounting numbers as inscriptions facilitate the creating a distance and an order due to the process of mobilizations. Third, inscriptions also mediate actions through the performativity of knowledge with it.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will change the ways we live, work and play. IoT includes everything from high-tech consumer wearables such as the FitBit to home automation tools like the Nest thermostat. It encompasses monitoring tools for mining equipment and apps that help consumers monitor their appliances. IoT is the digital interactive connectivity between people, animals, devices, structures and places. IoT is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and other connected devices. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. As ICT has progressed in products and services, so-called ICT with existing industry is fused," Convergence Industry" become important. Convergence Industry has entered a new turning point by the diffusion of IoT. IoT makes to new changes the convergence paradigm with a variety of industry and ICT by the innovation from the industry outside activated. In this paper; I explain the use case of IoT, presenting the direction of the business strategy of IoT from the perspective of Industrial Convergence.

Profit models for content marketing on smartphones and mobile devices have not yet been established. Among the new undertakings for establishing such models in Japan, we will discuss cases of collaboration between late-night anime shows and video sharing websites, as well as content marketing distribution using Twitter Amplify. The content marketing industry in the twentieth century arose by enabling music and theater productions - which previously could only have been "distributed" through live performances and theater-going - to "record," "replay," and "transmit" their content. As far as the content marketing industry in the twenty-first century is concerned, a transformation that is equally significant to that noted above is possible through social media, smartphones and mobile devices.

Drawing upon the concept of teleoaffective structure proposed by Schatzki (1996, 2002), the emotional dimension in relation to the teleological dimension of accounting practices is examined in this paper. Utilizing the data obtained from ethnographic field research of a financial institution which assists its clients to turnaround their business, it is found that instrumentally rational activities are systematically connected to the emotionality of the site. While on the teleological dimension, signifying chain links meanings of local activities with the strategic agenda set by the top management, a dilemma between discontinuity from the past and the perceived feasibility of business turnaround is overcome by the social signification generated on the emotional dimension of the site.

This article analyzes the process of organizational innovation based on the case study of Raffles Medical Group (RMG) in Singapore. In order to understand the process of innovation, important is that we are to discuss not only the resultant structural change but also the process of innovation. First, it is introduced a comprehensive model of the innovation process of organization. Namely, by integrating diachronically garbage can model, evolutionary model of organizing, and contingency theory, the process of innovation is generally described. Second, we discuss the way longitudinally how RMG created the enacted environments confronting in its ecological changes, and how it implemented organizational innovation to adapt to its enacted environments were in-vented by itself.

This article discusses some methodological considerations about using Text Mining technology. We interpret the result of Text Mining, based on New Institutional Theory. As a result, we made clear that sign representation is the leverage point in an understanding either isomorphism or differentiation. Moreover, we designate the diffusion of innovations as to be common sign representations. Finally, we suggest the method of Text Mining as how to analyze the diffusion process.

This article attempts to explore an analytic framework on micro-strategies of researchers in basic science. Scientific research is a difficult and complex series of process of exploration for new facts in a particular field of research, which I call research path. Using materials from the ethnographic research in a laboratory of chemical biology, I try to retrame basic concepts like goal of research, competition, micro and macro path, organizational styles of laboratory and so on to make workable criterions to describe the everyday practices of scientific research activities. These criterions are meant to make clear why managerial model, based on the analogy with market-based economic activities, does not work in describing scientists' everyday practice, to justify the need to analyze them in a different perspective proper to their own peculiarities.
