▼ On 7 July 2005, Britain suffered its first ever suicide attack. Four young British-born Muslims, apparently well-educated and from integrated backgrounds, killed their fellow citizens, including other Muslims. The incident raised the vision that British Muslims would be seen as the ‘enemy within’ and a ‘fifth column’ in British society. To examine how this view emerged, this thesis investigates the representation of British Muslims in two major British broadsheets, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, over a two-year period (7 July 2005-8 July 2007). A corpus of 274 news items, including editorials, comments, interviews, and news reports on the London bombings, has been collected and analysed using the inductive approach based upon thematic analysis. The thesis asks a significant question: How did these broadsheets present British Muslims in the wake of the London bombings? This thesis aims to present a narrative of how the London bombings (hereafter 7/7) emerged in these broadsheets based on their reaction to an interpretation and perception of the 7/7 event. This research indicates that the two broadsheets shared a similar cultural approach in combating Islamist terrorism, by encouraging the embracing of British values, although their different political orientations led to them differing attitudes over the precise manner in which this should be achieved. The Guardian was more concerned about individual liberty and human rights, while The Daily Telegraph emphasised the adaptation of tough legislation to combat terrorism. Given modern Britain’s secular moral fibre, the supremacy of British values dominated the debates on British Muslims which somehow reflected a manifestation of a systematic campaign to redefine Islam as a religion that fits into secular Western society, validating terms such as ‘Moderate Muslim’, ‘Islamic terrorists’, ‘Islamic extremists’, ‘Islamic militants’ and ‘Islamic terrorism’. Although both newspapers argue that radicalisation is a foreign-imported dilemma that has its roots in “Islamic ideology”, they differ in their attitudes on how to deal with it. This thesis uses Cohen’s (1972) text, which suggests that the media often portray certain groups within society as “deviant” and “folk devils” and blames them for crimes. This research into the reactions of two broadsheets permits a contemporary discussion of the London bombings and British Muslims in the light of Cohen’s concept. It aims to locate the presence of a nexus of the four Ps - political parties, pressure groups, the press, and public bodies - that influence reporting and shape the debates (Ost, 2002; Chas, 2006, p.75). It is evident that the reporting of the two broadsheets blends three significant components: the views of self-proclaimed Islamic scholars, experts and hate preachers; the use of out-of-context verses of the Quran; and the use of political language to represent British Muslims. Arguably, the press transformed the 7/7 event, suggesting that it was driven by religious theology rather than being a politically…

Degree: 2018, University of Huddersfield

▼ Within existing literature (Fiske, 1992; Jenkins, 2006; Bruns, 2007; 2008a) digital media engagement is often understood through audience productivity, privileging productive fans over unproductive others, and limiting our understanding of how and why users engage with digital media. In my study, I complicate this discourse by exploring the multi-modal value of digital engagement within an original and empirically-grounded ‘cascade’ model. Adopting a qualitative interview study, I collected in-depth interviews from 34 participants, aged 20-30, exploring my respondents’ performances of their engagement through generation and neoliberalism. Theoretically, I argue for the plurality of value and engagement, which my participants negotiate across varying contexts (Boltanski and Thévenot, 1987/2006) through my cascade model, which aligns four original modes of engagement: fan-like, guarded, routinised, and restricted, with distinct forms of value: community, personal, habitual, and reflective. Participants enter the model via one of three levels, fluidly hybridising value and engagement in a variety of differentiated ways. Through this analysis, I argue that neoliberalism (Rose, 1999; McGuigan, 2014) emerged as a key contextual factor framing the value of participants’ engagement, with the position via which respondents enter, and thus negotiate, the cascade model relating to their specific neoliberal dispositions towards ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ‘self-branding’ (Marwick, 2013). By aligning participants’ neoliberal dispositions with digital cultural capital (Bourdieu, 1993; Rojas et al, 2000), I also critically interrogate the ‘digital natives’ concept (Prensky, 2001; 2012; Palfrey and Gasser, 2008), arguing that the varying levels of capital and differing engagement modes in my data challenge this monolithic discourse which assumes a shared generational digital habitus. Within my innovative model, the value of engagement is not only multi-modal, but inherently fluid, with my approach complicating discourse in this field beyond existing notions of productivity, without arguing for audience productivity as normative or positing a binary of productive and unproductive engagement. This study, therefore, is vital to furthering our understanding of how and why users engage with digital media (Light, 2014; Park, 2017; Bury,2018), and the value of this practice within neoliberal digital media ‘worlds’ (Boltanski and Thévenot, 1987/2006, p. 215).

▼ This thesis combines a literature review and a case study in order to examine startup accelerators as social networks. The literature review looks at two distinct bodies of research; the first on Social Network Theory, in order to create a framework within which to describe an accelerator as a social network, the second on startup accelerators in order to understand their structure and evolution as business support programs. The case study uses EyeFocus Accelerator, founded by this researcher, to test some of the ideas formulated from the literature. The literature demonstrates that accelerators are social networks, and the dynamics between the different actors in those networks can be explained and defined using the vocabulary and concepts of Social Network Theory. This describes the structure of the accelerator network, and how such a network is able to reward people with Social Capital, which is observed in this thesis to be the currency of accelerators. Consequently, the unique nature of the research in this thesis is to describe accelerators using the language and concepts of Social Network Theory, providing new insights into how and why accelerators work. This understanding identifies that value in accelerators lies in their ability to facilitate the flow of non-redundant information, and to provide early access to this information. Creating this value also enables accelerators to withdraw access to that value as a threat of sanction against bad actors. Other aspects of the social network structure and behaviour of accelerators are examined, including the tendency of weak ties and non-redundancy of information to decay over time, suggesting that this may explain the typical fixed term of most accelerators. Combined, this theory leads to an accelerator being described as a dynamic social network with a high level of closure at the core, set within a weak network architecture, with many weak ties, and consequently many bridging ties. It is policed using link reciprocity, and its currency is Social Capital. The skill used to operate in this network involves having complex role and status sets.

▼ This work investigates impression management and in particular impression management using ubiquitous technology. Generally impression management is the process through which people try to influence the impressions that others have about them. In particular, impression management focuses on the flow of information between a performer and his/her audience, with control over what is presented to whom being of the utmost importance when trying to create the appropriate impression. Ubiquitous technology has provided opportunities for individuals to present themselves to others. However, the disconnection between presenter and audience over both time and space can result in individuals being misrepresented. This thesis outlines two important areas when trying to control the impression one gives namely, hiding and revealing, and accountability. By exploring these two themes the continuous evolution and dynamic nature of controlling the impression one gives is explored. While this ongoing adaptation is recognised by designers they do not always create technology that is sufficiently dynamic to support this process. As a result, this work attempts to answer three research questions: RQ1: How do users of ubicomp systems appropriate recorded data from their everyday activity and make it into a resource for expressing themselves to others in ways that are dynamically tailored to their ongoing social context and audience? RQ2: What technology can be built to support ubicomp system developers to design and develop systems to support appropriation as a central part of a useful or enjoyable user experience? RQ3: What software architectures best suit this type of appropriated interaction and developers’ designing to support such interaction? Through a thorough review of existing literature, and the extensive study of several large ubicomp systems, the issues when presenting oneself through technology are identified. The main issues identified are hiding and revealing, and accountability. These are built into a framework that acts as a reference for designers wishing to support impression management. An architecture for supporting impression management has also been developed that conforms to this framework and its evolution is documented later in the thesis. A demonstration of this architecture in a multi-player mobile experience is subsequently presented.

▼ Modeling of two-phase ﬂows with strong thermal and mechanical non-equilibrium ef- fects is important in engineering applications, such as the nuclear industry. The Advection Upstream Splitting Methods (AUSM-family schemes) are very popular due to their at- tractive features for multiphase ﬂow modeling. However, the computational eﬃciency of collocated-grid-based AUSM-family schemes with explicit time integration are inferior due to a number of issues. These include the odd-even decoupling of the collocated-grid-based AUSM-family schemes for low-Mach-number ﬂows, the non-conservative characteristic of the two-phase governing equations, and the Courant-Friedrichs-Levy (CFL) number limi- tation for the explicit time integration. This thesis focuses on improving the accuracy and eﬃciency of calculation for all-Mach- number two-phase ﬂows. In order to achieve this objective, this thesis makes the ﬁrst attempt at using implicit staggered-grid-based AUSM-family (SG-AUSM-family) schemes. This is a novel approach since most work in the publicly available literature solves multi- phase compressible ﬂow problems explicitly over collocated grids. In this thesis, a four- equation generic two-ﬂuid model is mainly considered. In addition, Newton’s method with a numerical Jacobian matrix is employed to solve the implicitly discretized equations. The benchmark test cases include Ransom’s water faucet, the oscillating manometer, the phase separation, and the air-water shock tube problems. In the ﬁrst stage, after thorough mathematical analysis and numerical tests of various explicit AUSM-family schemes on collocated grids, insight into the numerical dissipation mechanism of the AUSM-family schemes was gained. This motivates the author to propose a new scheme, namely, the staggered-grid-based AUSMFVS (SG-AUSMFVS) scheme, to solve the stiﬀ phase separation problem. The second stage of the work is to examine the numerical accuracy and computational eﬃciency of collocated-grid-based implicit AUSM-family schemes. Results demonstrate that with certain time step size selections, the implicit AUSM-family schemes are superior to their explicit counterparts, in terms of numerical accuracy and computational eﬃciency. The third phase of the work is the application of the ﬁrst-order SG-AUSM-family schemes on the benchmark test cases. Results demonstrate the advantages of staggered- grid-based AUSM + (SG-AUSM + ) and staggered-grid-based AUSMDV (SG-AUSMDV) over their collocated-grid-based counterparts. With a staggered-grid arrangement, odd-even de- coupling issues can be avoided. As a result, no additional diﬀusion terms are needed when using SG-AUSM + and SG-AUSMDV schemes for low-Mach-number two-phase ﬂows. Fur- thermore, since the pressure and void fraction are already stored at the interface of the velocity control volume, no interpolation of interfacial pressure is needed for the momen- tum equations, thereby saving computational time. Finally, the SG-AUSM + scheme is capable of producing accurate…

▼ Many smartphone apps and wearables have been developed to promote physical activity, however there are challenges in assessing their impact. Apps and wearables are rapidly evolving technologies and thousands of physical activity apps that are publicly available on app stores remain unevaluated. There are concerns that traditional “gold standard” evaluation approaches, such as randomised control trials (RCTs), may be too slow to keep up with these, and produce effectiveness results that do not reflect real world settings. Rapid research designs (such as single case designs; SCDs) and innovative data collection methods (in-device sensors, device-generated user logs) have been proposed to improve research efficiency, yet preliminary evidence suggests they are not widely used in mHealth. This thesis reports three studies undertaken to investigate the use of rapid research designs and efficient methods for evaluating physical activity apps and wearables. First, a scoping review of the extent to which these approaches are employed by health and HCI researchers. Second, semi-structured interviews with researchers, data scientists and industry professionals to provide a deeper understanding of current evaluation practices. Third, the development and refinement of a methodological framework to support researchers in using SCDs in automated app store evaluations of physical activity apps. The findings suggest rapid research designs are not often employed in evaluations of physical activity and other health behaviour change apps. Researchers feel they face opportunity barriers (e.g. risking not being funded or published) and do not have the necessary skills (e.g. in using device generated user logs). Industry professionals appear to lack the motivation and time to evaluate effectiveness. Trade-offs were perceived between the measurement accuracy of in-device sensors and other factors such as user burden. Automated trials may speed up evaluations of physical activity apps and wearables, and the suggested data collection framework aims to support researchers in conducting rigorous effectiveness evaluations using app store- based SCDs. However, further work is needed to enable industry professionals to use the framework to evaluate their publicly-available apps.

▼ Many smartphone apps and wearables have been developed to promote physical activity, however there are challenges in assessing their impact. Apps and wearables are rapidly evolving technologies and thousands of physical activity apps that are publicly available on app stores remain unevaluated. There are concerns that traditional "gold standard" evaluation approaches, such as randomised control trials (RCTs), may be too slow to keep up with these, and produce effectiveness results that do not reflect real world settings. Rapid research designs (such as single case designs; SCDs) and innovative data collection methods (in-device sensors, device-generated user logs) have been proposed to improve research efficiency, yet preliminary evidence suggests they are not widely used in mHealth. This thesis reports three studies undertaken to investigate the use of rapid research designs and efficient methods for evaluating physical activity apps and wearables. First, a scoping review of the extent to which these approaches are employed by health and HCI researchers. Second, semi-structured interviews with researchers, data scientists and industry professionals to provide a deeper understanding of current evaluation practices. Third, the development and refinement of a methodological framework to support researchers in using SCDs in automated app store evaluations of physical activity apps. The findings suggest rapid research designs are not often employed in evaluations of physical activity and other health behaviour change apps. Researchers feel they face opportunity barriers (e.g. risking not being funded or published) and do not have the necessary skills (e.g. in using device generated user logs). Industry professionals appear to lack the motivation and time to evaluate effectiveness. Trade-offs were perceived between the measurement accuracy of in-device sensors and other factors such as user burden. Automated trials may speed up evaluations of physical activity apps and wearables, and the suggested data collection framework aims to support researchers in conducting rigorous effectiveness evaluations using app store- based SCDs. However, further work is needed to enable industry professionals to use the framework to evaluate their publicly-available apps.

▼ This thesis combines a literature review and a case study in order to examine startup accelerators as social networks. The literature review looks at two distinct bodies of research; the first on Social Network Theory, in order to create a framework within which to describe an accelerator as a social network, the second on startup accelerators in order to understand their structure and evolution as business support programs. The case study uses EyeFocus Accelerator, founded by this researcher, to test some of the ideas formulated from the literature. The literature demonstrates that accelerators are social networks, and the dynamics between the different actors in those networks can be explained and defined using the vocabulary and concepts of Social Network Theory. This describes the structure of the accelerator network, and how such a network is able to reward people with Social Capital, which is observed in this thesis to be the currency of accelerators. Consequently, the unique nature of the research in this thesis is to describe accelerators using the language and concepts of Social Network Theory, providing new insights into how and why accelerators work. This understanding identifies that value in accelerators lies in their ability to facilitate the flow of non-redundant information, and to provide early access to this information. Creating this value also enables accelerators to withdraw access to that value as a threat of sanction against bad actors. Other aspects of the social network structure and behaviour of accelerators are examined, including the tendency of weak ties and non-redundancy of information to decay over time, suggesting that this may explain the typical fixed term of most accelerators. Combined, this theory leads to an accelerator being described as a dynamic social network with a high level of closure at the core, set within a weak network architecture, with many weak ties, and consequently many bridging ties. It is policed using link reciprocity, and its currency is Social Capital. The skill used to operate in this network involves having complex role and status sets.

▼ Within existing literature (Fiske, 1992; Jenkins, 2006; Bruns, 2007; 2008a) digital media engagement is often understood through audience productivity, privileging productive fans over unproductive others, and limiting our understanding of how and why users engage with digital media. In my study, I complicate this discourse by exploring the multi-modal value of digital engagement within an original and empirically-grounded 'cascade' model. Adopting a qualitative interview study, I collected in-depth interviews from 34 participants, aged 20-30, exploring my respondents' performances of their engagement through generation and neoliberalism. Theoretically, I argue for the plurality of value and engagement, which my participants negotiate across varying contexts (Boltanski and Thévenot, 1987/2006) through my cascade model, which aligns four original modes of engagement: fan-like, guarded, routinised, and restricted, with distinct forms of value: community, personal, habitual, and reflective. Participants enter the model via one of three levels, fluidly hybridising value and engagement in a variety of differentiated ways. Through this analysis, I argue that neoliberalism (Rose, 1999; McGuigan, 2014) emerged as a key contextual factor framing the value of participants' engagement, with the position via which respondents enter, and thus negotiate, the cascade model relating to their specific neoliberal dispositions towards 'right' and 'wrong' 'self-branding' (Marwick, 2013). By aligning participants' neoliberal dispositions with digital cultural capital (Bourdieu, 1993; Rojas et al, 2000), I also critically interrogate the 'digital natives' concept (Prensky, 2001; 2012; Palfrey and Gasser, 2008), arguing that the varying levels of capital and differing engagement modes in my data challenge this monolithic discourse which assumes a shared generational digital habitus. Within my innovative model, the value of engagement is not only multi-modal, but inherently fluid, with my approach complicating discourse in this field beyond existing notions of productivity, without arguing for audience productivity as normative or positing a binary of productive and unproductive engagement. This study, therefore, is vital to furthering our understanding of how and why users engage with digital media (Light, 2014; Park, 2017; Bury,2018), and the value of this practice within neoliberal digital media 'worlds' (Boltanski and Thévenot, 1987/2006, p. 215).

▼ GridTICs es un grupo de investigación, desarrollo e ingeniería de proyectos relacionado a las tecnologías de información y comunicación, perteneciente a la Universidad Tecnológica Nacional Facultad Regional Mendoza. Se propone desarrollar empresarialmente su área de sistemas embebidos. El estudio ha pretendido sentar las bases para el desarrollo de un negocio, principalmente de software, orientado al sector de sistemas embebidos. Para la confección del trabajo se consultaron fuentes primarias como integrantes de GridTICs y actores clave en la Universidad y empresarios del negocio de software. Como complemento se examinaron textos, revistas, documentos, prensa, y principalmente, sitios de internet correspondientes a empresas y cámaras empresariales referentes del sector. Se logró conocer que la productividad de la industria no es capaz de mantenerse al nivel de las necesidades actuales. El sector presenta un atractivo "estructural" y “transversal”, a partir de las demandas que presentan todos los sectores de la economía. Indicadores como "Grado de aplicabilidad de los Sistemas Embebidos en cualquier ámbito sectorial" no dejan de crecer. Los Sistemas Embebidos continuarán revolucionando los sectores de energía, transporte, comunicaciones y automatización industrial y de servicios, entre otros. En cuanto a las bases para llevar a cabo adecuadas estrategias de negocio, es necesario realizar un adecuado estudio de mercado, dado lo amplio del sector, concentrando el análisis en aquellos entornos que estén al alcance de las posibilidades y competencias, así como de infraestructura disponible. En cuanto al tipo de trabajos a realizar se pudo observar que no es muy conveniente iniciar actividades en: desarrollo de producto, servicios orientados a aplicaciones que impliquen una alta frecuencia (eléctrica) de operación, o un complejo y costoso equipamiento, solo para la etapa de pruebas. Desde el punto de vista del tipo de cliente, no se debería abordar mercados de empresas finales, si no empresas proveedoras de soluciones embebidas. Finalizando se observa que se presentan importantes desafíos a sortear, en materia de recursos humanos, financiamiento y habilidades de gestión empresaria en general, propios del salto estratégico planteado

▼ Although, electronic human resources management (e-HRM) and social media technologies appear to be increasingly used by companies to design and deliver their human resources management (HRM) practices in order to face the demands of knowledge based economies, there is little empirical evidence concerning whether the absorption of these technologies leads to HRM innovation. To address this gap, this thesis examines the relationships between the absorptive capacity (ACAP) of organisations, e-HRM and social media technologies, and HRM innovation. Drawing mainly on the ACAP theory when paralleled with the innovation diffusion theory, a conceptual model was created from which a range of research hypotheses were deductively developed. These hypotheses were tested by surveying a sample of two hundred large companies that operate in Greece using varied statistical techniques such as parallel analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), mediation analysis with bootstrapping, moderation analysis and Pearson’s correlation. To examine the reasons and the ways firms have absorbed e-HRM and social media in Greece, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the human resources (HR) directors of eight companies that had participated in the survey and had demonstrated high information communication technology (ICT) adoption. The results suggested that the ACAP of firms for e-HRM and social media has a significant effect on HRM innovation. The factors that determine ACAP and HRM innovation are: (1) the e-HRM and social media technologies, (2) the characteristics of these technologies, (3) prior knowledge and experience of firms, and (4) national culture. The adoption reasons included improvements in: data management, information security, confidentiality of data, HR service delivery, organisational culture, institutional isomorphism, and environmentally friendly e-HRM. In the case of multinational companies (MNCs): need for control by the headquarters, transparency and standardisation. Based on these findings, this thesis contributes a new framework of HRM innovation from organisational ACAP for e-HRM and social media and an alternative operationalisation of ACAP for technological knowledge around HRM. Implications for HRM, e-HRM and ACAP academics as well as HR practitioners and their companies are concluded along with the limitations of this thesis and future research suggestions.

▼ This work investigates impression management and in particular impression management using ubiquitous technology. Generally impression management is the process through which people try to influence the impressions that others have about them. In particular, impression management focuses on the flow of information between a performer and his/her audience, with control over what is presented to whom being of the utmost importance when trying to create the appropriate impression. Ubiquitous technology has provided opportunities for individuals to present themselves to others. However, the disconnection between presenter and audience over both time and space can result in individuals being misrepresented. This thesis outlines two important areas when trying to control the impression one gives namely, hiding and revealing, and accountability. By exploring these two themes the continuous evolution and dynamic nature of controlling the impression one gives is explored. While this ongoing adaptation is recognised by designers they do not always create technology that is sufficiently dynamic to support this process. As a result, this work attempts to answer three research questions: RQ1: How do users of ubicomp systems appropriate recorded data from their everyday activity and make it into a resource for expressing themselves to others in ways that are dynamically tailored to their ongoing social context and audience? RQ2: What technology can be built to support ubicomp system developers to design and develop systems to support appropriation as a central part of a useful or enjoyable user experience? RQ3: What software architectures best suit this type of appropriated interaction and developers’ designing to support such interaction? Through a thorough review of existing literature, and the extensive study of several large ubicomp systems, the issues when presenting oneself through technology are identified. The main issues identified are hiding and revealing, and accountability. These are built into a framework that acts as a reference for designers wishing to support impression management. An architecture for supporting impression management has also been developed that conforms to this framework and its evolution is documented later in the thesis. A demonstration of this architecture in a multi-player mobile experience is subsequently presented.

▼ Developing a Grid within High Energy Physics for the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator is characterised as a highly collaborative, distributed and dynamic systems development effort. This research examines the way this distributed Grid is developed, deployed and provided as a service to the thousands of physicists analysing data from the Large Hadron Collider. The particle physics community has always been at the forefront of computing with a tradition of working in large distributed collaborations, therefore providing a "distinctive" case of distributed systems development practice. The focus of concern is the collaborative systems development practices employed by particle physicists in their attempt to develop a usable Grid. The research aims to offer lessons and practical recommendations to those involved in globally distributed systems development and to inform the information systems development literature. Global software development presents unaddressed challenges to organisations and it is argued that there is an urgent need for new systems development practices and strategies to be created that can facilitate and embrace the rapid changes of the environment and the complexities involved in such projects. The contribution of the study, therefore, is a framework of guidance towards engendering what the author defines as "Hybrid Experimental Agile Distributed Systems Development Communities" revealing a set of dynamic collaborative practices for those organisational contexts engaged in distributed systems development. The framework will allow them to reflect on their own practice and perhaps foster a similarly dynamic flexible community in order to manage their global software development effort. The research is in the form of an interpretative qualitative exploratory case study, which draws upon Activity Theory, and frames the Grid's distributed development activity as a complex overarching networked activity system influenced by the context, the community's tools, rules, norms, culture, history, past experiences, shared visions and collaborative way of working. Tensions and contradictions throughout the development of this Grid are explored and surfaced, with the research focusing on how these are resolved in order for the activity system to achieve stability. Such stability leads to the construction of new knowledge and learning and the formation of new systems development practices. In studying this, practices are considered as an emergent property linked to improvisation, bricolage and dynamic competences that unfold as large-scale projects evolve.

▼ Search engines are essential components of the World Wide Web; both commercially and in terms of everyday usage, their importance is hard to overstate. This thesis examines the question of why there is bias in search engine results – bias that invites users to click on links to large websites, commercial websites, websites based in certain countries, and websites written in certain languages. In this thesis, the historical development of the search engine industry is traced. Search engines first emerged as prototypical technological startups emanating from Silicon Valley, followed by the acquisition of search engine companies by major US media corporations and their development into portals. The subsequent development of pay-per-click advertising is central to the current industry structure, an oligarchy of virtually integrated companies managing networks of syndicated advertising and traffic distribution. The study also shows a global landscape in which search production is concentrated in and caters for large global advertising markets, leaving the rest of the world with patchy and uneven search results coverage. The analysis of interviews with senior search engine engineers indicates that issues of quality are addressed in terms of customer service and relevance in their discourse, while the analysis of documents, interviews with search marketers, and participant observation within a search engine marketing firm showed that producers and marketers had complex relationships that combine aspects of collaboration, competition, and indifference. The results of the study offer a basis for the synthesis of insights of the political economy of media and communication and the social studies of technology tradition, emphasising the importance of culture in constructing and maintaining both local structures and wider systems. In the case of search engines, the evidence indicates that the culture of the technological entrepreneur is very effective in creating a new megabusiness, but less successful in encouraging a debate on issues of the public good or public responsibility as they relate to the search engine industry.

▼ Mobile digital platforms provide an architectural basis for third party innovation of platform complements. Platform owners have property rights, enabling them to establish a boundary of permissible innovation demarcating the permitted from the prohibited. This allows for the curation of complements, which provides a means of controlling for value creation. Consequently, platform innovationthe innovation of platform complements is occasionally refused by platform owners. When this occurs tensions may arise between the two parties over where the boundary of permissible innovation should lie. Tussles may break out, embodied in complex interactions, as each party attempts to get its way. Eventually an outcome is achieved, and a platform innovation is either allowed or prohibited. A body of platform innovation literature is emerging from fields including information systems. Whilst this literature considers many aspects of platform innovation, the dynamics concerning the control of the innovation of platform innovation complements is overlooked. This research attempts to address that gap. Its relevance to information systems concerns the digitalisation of platforms as systemsdigital infrastructures, which affects their capacity for innovation and regulation. This research uses the method of narrative networks to analyse 45 examples of contested platform innovation. This approach, informed by empirical data sourced from over 4500 blog entries, identifies patterned sequences of actions across the examples. These sequences describe how tension builds, how control is asserted, and how control is then resisted. A theory of formal managerial control is used to explain how mechanisms of control are applied by platform owners as well as how developers respond to control. The principle contribution of this research is to theory. It develops and presents a theory to describe and explain the dynamics of contested innovation of complements on curated digital platforms. In doing so, iIt challenges the understanding that the platform owner alone controls platform design rules and concerning which platform complements are allowed, and which are notthe boundary of permissible innovation. Furthermore, tThe study indicates opens up the possibility that the forces of digitalisation provide third parties with the power to affect influence platform architecture, but at the cost of additional means of being controlled.

▼ Although, electronic human resources management (e-HRM) and social media technologies appear to be increasingly used by companies to design and deliver their human resources management (HRM) practices in order to face the demands of knowledge based economies, there is little empirical evidence concerning whether the absorption of these technologies leads to HRM innovation. To address this gap, this thesis examines the relationships between the absorptive capacity (ACAP) of organisations, e-HRM and social media technologies, and HRM innovation. Drawing mainly on the ACAP theory when paralleled with the innovation diffusion theory, a conceptual model was created from which a range of research hypotheses were deductively developed. These hypotheses were tested by surveying a sample of two hundred large companies that operate in Greece using varied statistical techniques such as parallel analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), mediation analysis with bootstrapping, moderation analysis and Pearson’s correlation. To examine the reasons and the ways firms have absorbed e-HRM and social media in Greece, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the human resources (HR) directors of eight companies that had participated in the survey and had demonstrated high information communication technology (ICT) adoption. The results suggested that the ACAP of firms for e-HRM and social media has a significant effect on HRM innovation. The factors that determine ACAP and HRM innovation are: (1) the e-HRM and social media technologies, (2) the characteristics of these technologies, (3) prior knowledge and experience of firms, and (4) national culture. The adoption reasons included improvements in: data management, information security, confidentiality of data, HR service delivery, organisational culture, institutional isomorphism, and environmentally friendly e-HRM. In the case of multinational companies (MNCs): need for control by the headquarters, transparency and standardisation. Based on these findings, this thesis contributes a new framework of HRM innovation from organisational ACAP for e-HRM and social media and an alternative operationalisation of ACAP for technological knowledge around HRM. Implications for HRM, e-HRM and ACAP academics as well as HR practitioners and their companies are concluded along with the limitations of this thesis and future research suggestions.

▼ This doctoral research contributes to three main fields: the Sociology of Health and Illness (SHI), specifically in the way it speaks to Coeliac Disease; and the field of Big Social Data and Health in general. Research in SHI, has typically focussed on the effects of diagnosis on self-identity, and illness narratives used in adapting to life with chronic disease. While there have been recent studies looking at how general food cultures, obesity and diabetes are visualised on social media, there have been no studies about the visualisation of self-care and identity in relation to Coeliac Disease specifically. Current social research in Coeliac Disease is mainly focused on the psychological impact of being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and the challenge the gluten free diet can put on individuals. There is little in the literature about how individuals self-manage Coeliac Disease or share identity across social media platforms, or how they use social media to navigate risk. Current literature in the field of Big Social Data and Health, mainly looks at how social media offers opportunities to socially share or disseminate public health information between organisations and the public, as well as how the use of wearable technology and apps are used to quantify health. It does not look at how the chronically ill share symptoms, identity and self-care across social media platforms. This thesis adds to the literature by bringing together the fields of SHI, Big Social Data and Health, and Social Science research into Coeliac Disease to understand and visualise the way Coeliac patients actively use social media platforms in the process of self-care and self-identity. It explores how social media can be used to tell a chronic illness narrative, and thus illustrate the process of diagnosis, and how individuals adapt to life as a Coeliac on the gluten free diet (GFD). In doing so, this research provides an illustrative example of how social media data can be used to both inform and complement research on Coeliac Disease specifically, and the fields of SHI and digital social science more generally.

▼ The technology of additive manufacturing is rapidly developing as one of the most sustainable alternatives for the traditional manufacturing processes. Additive manufacturing technologies offer numerous advantages such as weight reduction, design freedom, reducing material waste and so on. But to manufacture complex components, the traditional manufacturing processes are still needed to obtain the final desired geometry. DiSAM is one such project that is happening in Sweden, aiming to improve the technology readiness of additive manufacturing processes. A complex aircraft component is being manufactured in this project using both additive manufacturing and traditional manufacturing processes. In this process of complex manufacturing where, multiple additive manufacturing processes and machining processes are involved, the effect of the locating scheme in each step of manufacturing process plays a vital role in providing the desired geometrical accuracy. This thesis work was carried out to develop a locating scheme that was most suitable to follow in this complex manufacturing process chain. The component from the engine exit structure of a gas turbine engine which is termed as "H-Sector" was the product in focus. Information was collected through interviews with the stakeholders of the DiSAM project. The manufacturing process flow was studied to finalize on the parameters that affects the geometrical accuracy at different manufacturing steps. The critical areas of the components were identified which needs to be focused in developing locating scheme at each manufacturing step. The software RD&T was used in evaluating the locating schemes. Different locating scheme strategies were developed. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to compare between the strategies and finalizing on the final locating scheme. This thesis outcome will help in making decisions regarding the locating scheme for the DiSAM project. The same method can be followed in developing different locating scheme for different geometry in the future.
