Even though a company is willing to adopt an information system, there is often some organizational inertia associated with the adoption process. In this paper, we explore the types of inertia in IS adoption in the context of a specific business process. Drawing on seven case studies where inertia can be observed, we illustrate the inertia types found in earlier research and find indication for the...
High Reliability Organizations (HROs) operate in risky and safety-critical environments where failure avoidance overrides cost efficiency and other traditional performance measures. Research on military, air traffic control, and similar domains has identified five key HRO characteristics: preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience,...
We study the consumer selection of mobile platforms through switching costs and network effects. We operationalize switching costs using five dimensions (search cost, learning cost, contractual cost, complementary investments, brand relationship cost) and network effects using two dimensions (same and cross side network effects). We draw on four focus groups to empirically address the selection problem...
In this paper, we examine outsourcing of disaggregated information-intensive services. Drawing on the theoretical streams of Global Information-Intensive Service Disaggregation and Transaction-Cost Economics, we formulate our research model to understand the phenomenon of disaggregation in the context of cloud computing. The model encompasses frequency, asset specificity, uncertainty, information...
Based on earlier work on technology adoption, we formulate a research model to tap into the interplay between intention to use and actual use of IT. We draw on a large-scale empirical study on self-service checkout (SCO) technology. Our findings indicate that perceived waiting time acts as an important trigger for intention to use turning into actual use of SCO. In the end of the paper we provide...
In this paper, an ANP (Analytic Network Process) model is developed to aid a buyer company in prioritizing suppliers for adopting electronic invoicing. The case company is a leading Finnish textile and clothing design company. Because implementing e-invoicing with all the suppliers at the same time would require too many financial and other resources, it is necessary to schedule the implementations...
