Their evolution \u2013 from routine workers to empowered operational knowledge workers and process facilitators \u2013 challenges both the individual and the organization on various levels. Based on insights from an in-depth case study, we explore the digital transformation journey of a large-scale manufacturing company between 2016 and 2019. We highlight complex interrelations between IS-induced change, the mindset change and the work practices change and develop a more holistic understanding of IS-induced change.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aisel.aisnet.org\/icis2020\/is_workplace_fow\/is_workplace_fow\/17\/\">Read the Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?tag=digital\" rel=\"tag\">Digital<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?tag=information-systems\" rel=\"tag\">Information Systems<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract Information systems (IS), introduced as part of the digital transformation efforts of many manufacturing companies, redefine the role of a prior digitally disconnected workforce group: Shop floor workers (SFWs).
