In information systems research, significant attention has been paid to the discrepancy between organizational context and technology. In the IS discourse this is, among other initiatives, expressed as the need to create alignment between business and IT. Translated into the domain of business process management (BPM), this will put demand on achieving alignment between used models in process modeling...
Activity based costing (ABC) can be integrated with Unified modeling methodology (UMM) to identify the required activities and further calculate the cost. Specifying right activities for ABC is a challenge and involves a complicated process, but UMM helps discovering all activities and facilitates the specification of the critical activities.
This paper aims at building a responsibility model based on the concepts of accountability, capability and commitment. The model's objectives are firstly to help organizations for verifying the organizational structure and detecting policy problems and inconsistency. Secondly, the paper brings up a conceptual framework to support organization for defining their corporate, security and access control...
In order to, proliferate capabilities of information systems as a managerial leverage and a means of decision making, organizations need the support of software, hardware and humanware infrastructures. Without such support, implementation efforts may adversely suffer from excessive development costs, delays or may even fail before completion. Hence, readiness assessment studies and exploration of...
In the context of ERP implementation, leadership is consistently found to be the most important factor leading to implementation success. However, most of the studies focus on leader's strength and authority while ignoring the important role leader's personal charisma plays in the implementation process. In addition, there is a lack of study on the underlying process of how leadership acts during...
Many IS/DSS development methods advocate the inclusion of multiple perspectives during systems design activities to deal with problems more holistically. Yet, few techniques exist for generating these perspectives. This paper proposes a method for creative generation of multiple perspectives to aid designing systems for dealing with wicked problems involving multiple stakeholders. We illustrate the...
This paper suggests extending the view that strategic alignment is a core IT governance issue and postulates that considering operational alignment as well offers more precise insights into how governance mechanisms influence business process performance. Theoretically combining findings from IT value, IT business alignment and IT governance research, we show the tantamount role of top executive support...
This research applies the dynamic capability perspective to examine the strategic impact of inter-organizational information systems (IOIS). In applying this perspective we argue that the value of IOIS resides in effective IOIS implementation and utilization in pursuit of superior organizational performance. This research identifies and empirically tests the impacts of information technology competence,...
To meet the organization process measurement need, this paper presented an integrated measurement model for the software process management, which establishes the relationship between organization unit, role definition and the GDM analysis result of business goal. This model supports such process measurement activities as the data collection, data analysis and communication of analysis result. When...
This paper propose and test a model of how inter-firm network effect firmpsilas absorptive capacity in a dynamic operating environment. Using data of manufacturing firms, the results indicate that the intensity of network has a positive impact on potential absorptive capacity, and the intensity of weak tie network are more important; the scale of weak tiespsila network has a positive impact on potential...
Enterprise model is the core component of the enabling technology of enterprise. Traditional enterprise reference architecture which has its time limit, mainly direct the system analyzing and designing as tools and methodology. The MDA (model driven architecture) decouple the model and the technology in the system developing, which couldnpsilat completely express the business logics, combining the...
The integration of business processes and knowledge flow has attracted the attention of research communities. In this paper, a RAD-based (role-activity-diagram) integrated modeling approach is proposed to overcome the limitations of simply mapping from business processes to knowledge flow and being lack of informal virtual knowledge flow, which exists between process actors. The proposed method integrates...
Static competitive environment has been replaced by an increasingly dynamic uncertain environment, organizational flexibility is getting more and more attention, flexibility has already become the most important factors to acquire the future competitive advantage. This paper build up the theoretical model of environmental uncertainty, organizational flexibility and sustainable competitive advantage...
To implement the Business Application System automatically in the E-Government area based on GBMS modeling system, based on jBPMpsilas workflow engine, the idea was proposed that the transformation from GBMS model to jBPM model. On the analysis of GBMS model and jBPM model, the transformation methods were proposed, the object entity mapping between the models, the structure transformation based on...
This paper presents a novel agent-based simulation model to analyze organization structures, which will show optimum possible performances against environmental and organizational changes. The model is a natural extension of the tag model of cultural assimilations proposed by Axelrod. Using the model, we investigate the landscape of "could be" space of organizations using random search....
This paper tries to construct performance management system (PMS) of public research institute. Traditional PMS approach focuses on deriving financial measures, revealing the limit of developing quantitative management tool, because research institute's performance is intangible and complex. BSC approach comes into spotlight as a performance measuring tool since it balanced the financial and non-financial...
In web service environment, B2B applications are usually built by composting pre-existing individual services, which are executed across multiple loosely-coupled autonomous organizations. The transactional challenges raised by the composition of services are twofold: relaxed atomicity and relaxed isolation. The relaxed atomicity of composite services can be verified at design stage. However, when...
The goal of this research is to provide an alternative for business processes evaluation and tracking, based on the analysis of non-structured information generated by such processes within the organization areas. In this article we introduce a method to determine the occurrence probability of a business process within the enterprisepsilas text documents. The proposed method introduces the use of...
Dispute about conception and research area of knowledge management exists always. In order to distinguish and evaluate about the influence factor of the success or failure of knowledge management project, it is necessary to understand it in the point of system thought and to design an integrated entirely knowledge management framework model that is accepted at large. Firstly, this article starts with...
Knowledge management is considered as a key part of the strategies to use knowledge to create a sustainable competitive advantage in organizations. An approach of modeling the knowledge management process is proposed based on the state-process-resource method. In the approach, four kinds of knowledge agents are suggested. They are knowledge managers, knowledge analysts, knowledge engineers and knowledge...
