Determine the future, then shape the present? Alfred Schütz’ “Multiple Realities” to explore the co-evolution of digital transformation and institutional logics

Résumé

Since the coming of the digital era, stating that digital technologies are shaping the reality, or the future, became somewhat of a cliché. In IS research, calls have long been issued to study the interplay of digital and social arrangements, as digital technologies became pervasive and infrastructural (Tilson et al., 2010). The phenomenon that ensues, digital transformation, has profound effects for societies, organizations and individuals, calling for novel institutional analysis (Hinings et al., 2018; Gegenhuber et al., 2022). Difficulties arise when considering that, first, organizing outcomes of digital technologies depend on both its designers and users, thus on different logics (Oborn et al., 2021), second, institutional outcomes can occur in unintended fashions long after the first digital building block is installed (Orlikowski & Scott, 2023). With newer technological developments such as generative AI furthering the uncertainty about the future of societies, organizations or occupations (Cornelissen et al., 2024), this paper aims to answer the following question: how do future institutional arrangement intertwine with the present and appear to individuals during a digital transformation process?
