CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.

Value in the ‘valley of the shadow of death’—When the user is no longer the value arbiter

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Public Service Logic (PSL) user‐centric perspective on value creation has been one of its main critiques.

The reckoning: ethnographic explorations of the ending of a friendship Règlement de comptes : explorations ethnographiques de la fin d'une amitié

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
