Bimodal IT decomposes the IT function into two modes—Traditional and Agile—the former focused on stability, the latter on the speed and experimentation necessary to support innovative uses of IT in a digital business context. The full article describes four bimodal IT archetypes and the factors that drive an organization to adopt bimodal IT. Our research found that companies switch between diff...

Mining a large origin-destination dataset of journeys made through London’s Cycle Hire Scheme (LCHS), we develop a technique for automatically classifying commuting behaviour that involves a spatial analysis of cyclists’ journeys. We identify a subset of potential commuting cyclists, and for each individual define a plausible geographic area representing their workplace. All peak-time journeys ...

This article analyses long-term innovation policies and development trajectories of four renewable energy technologies: wind energy, biomass, fuel cells and hydrogen, and photovoltaics. These trajectories and policies are characterised by many costly failures, setbacks, hypedisappointment cycles, tensions, and struggles. Although setbacks and non-linearities are a normal part of innovation jour...

Does a stop a commuter makes on the way to or from work adversely affect peak-period traffic? This question is addressed by examining the effects of stops made as part of commute journeys upon daily, as well as peak-period, travel time and distance, using a six-week travel diary data set from Germany. Increments in travel time and distance due to stops made in commute journeys are evaluated and...
