<p>Meta-critique: I abhor "highlights" or summaries like this:<p>> We identify key issues causing digital transformation failure.<p>> Our findings explain how researchers and practitioners should identify certain pitfalls leading to digital transformation failure.<p>And what were those issues and findings?<p>Don't give me a summary of the summary. That's what LLMs are for!<p>Unfortunately, the abstract is equally unenlightening:<p>> Our findings indicate a widespread tendency to categorise the DT ecosystem using terms like ‘technology’, ‘information system’, and ‘management’, among others. However, this approach neglects an in-depth examination of the specific and novel aspects of DT that have contributed to its failures.<p>Without wasting more of my time reading such a badly written research paper, I have no idea what they are trying to say in the abstract, which doesn't bode well for the rest.</p>

<p>For the same reason that anyone's reasoning process and answers to random exam questions are never used as textbooks: if the reasoning is not guaranteed to be right, why would you want to make that training material?</p>

<p>Why optimize for efficiency though? Why not human flourishing or planetary health, whichever way you wish to define that?<p>Efficiency sounds to me like an absolutely awful way to run any society as it's what turns individuals into disposable cogs of a machine that needs to be operated smoothly because, well, no obvious reason other than a fetish to see the machine run smoothly, no matter the human cost.</p>

<p>The article does say:<p>> The better path is to raise the bar on management, not badge swipes.<p>Real estate may play a role, but terrible management practices are also definitely a factor. And if every other company is doing it, it's safe to copy their behaviour and not stick your neck out.</p>
