Social Construction of Work Rhythm for Digital Transformation

Work pacing and process has been accelerated rapidly by the development of modern technologies, especially information and intelligence technologies, and people at all levels will have to adapt to the world of smarter machines. Like a metronome, time pacing creates a predictable rhythm for change, as well as a strategic setting for innovation in a company. By analyzing the social construction of work rhythm between humans and machine in the digital transformation, the cooperation and control mechanism for work rhythm of human-machine is proposed to leverage the augmented intelligence among artificial entities. With reconfiguration of work rhythm for digital transformation, managers can gain ground by exploiting rhythms and transitions, and even set the pace of competition in high-velocity, intensely competitive industries.
