Information Technology Governance (ITG) is the deliberate behaviour adopted by senior management in her corporate design of IT and for the enterprise use to enable continuous performance. ITG Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) is the organisational competence in recognising, acquiring or creating valuable new business-IT knowledge, assimilating or transforming and applying it, to ensure continuous performance...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) value relates to the extent to which its investment have created value for an organization. The issues of ERP value are how to define and to measure ERP value. Therefore, the objectives of this research are not only to develop a model for ERP value but also to define and to measure ERP value in the post-implementation stage. Using the Resource-Based View (RBV) approach,...
A well-designed field trip can promote active learning and reinforce classroom materials (Kisiel, 2006). Few studies examine the potential of using social media to enhance IS field trip experiences by promoting active and collaborative learning. One major barrier to the exploitation of this potential is the adoption of social media by students as a learning tool to enhance field trip experiences....
Past literature recognizes the power of the well-established information systems continuance theory (ISCT) to explain information systems (IS) continuance. In this study, we integrate constructs from two additional perspectives and discuss their interdependencies with ISCT. We argue that the promising framework proposed by Sørebø et al. [1], which extends ISCT with self-determination theory (SDT),...
The affordance concept has penetrated the Information Systems (IS) scholarship as a lens for theorizing the relationship between technology and its users. However, what exactly is it that the researchers are trying to capture when they use this concept? For this essay, we carefully read IS literature to reveal underlying assumptions behind this lens and how it has been adopted. This article reveals...
Research focused on values in information systems (IS) is conducted using a diversity of approaches, methods and theoretical frameworks. This paper presents a systematic literature review to investigate the relationship between values and materiality -- specifically, how researchers materialize values -- in IS research. Analysis of the literature demonstrates that IS researchers perceive the values...
To enable effective and efficient service delivery, addressing data quality problems is an item of high importance on the business agenda of managers in government departments. However, the constant use of manual and legacy information systems, in South African government departments contributes significantly to poor data quality. This work proposes a conceptual model for improving Data Quality Management...
Many businesses today are struggling to find a better and substantive IT capability to achieve its competitive advantage. Therefore, this study aims to explore how organizational learning orientation may be the driver that may strengthen organizational IT capability. In the context of this study, organizational learning orientation involves commitment to learning, shared vision, open-mindedness, and...
Many researchers having commented on the links between information technology and organizational change have reached conflicting conclusions about the causal relationship linking these two dimensions. In this article, we approach this relationship from a new angle by developing a scorecard allowing measurement of more specific dimensions of Computerization and Centralization. To develop this management...
Global organizations employ information systems (IS) to manage energy and carbon emission information. However, we know little about the factors associated with their adoption. Using primary data collected from a single organization, we first develop a simple conceptual framework for this class of information system comprising information technology (hardware and software), business processes, and...
Systems development in social care has tended to focus on collecting management information and supporting administrative processes, creating few benefits for practitioners and a consequent reluctance for them to effectively engage with information technologies. This paper considers the findings from a recent case study which examined the role of information and information services in social care...
This study empirically evaluates how user perceptions and attitudes influence behavioral intention use of multi-touch gestures on a large multi-touch screen by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). In the study the researchers presented 20 novice users with an introduction and hands-on of multi-touch gestures on window, object and image manipulations. Following the hand-on session, data on user...
This study examines task performance by considering the application of information systems (ISs) in computer-mediated collaborative environments from the perspective of personal characteristics. Based on previous research, this study investigates the effects of relationship characteristics of an organization's members on their task performance. In addition, the study explores the ways in which ISs...
This paper contributes to a program of research linking the fields of information systems and competitive dynamics. Findings suggest that effective collaboration on complex competitive actions is facilitated by unplanned social network configurations that are supported by particular technologies. Furthermore, findings indicate that managers in superior network positions largely control not only the...
Urban spatial development is driven by economic, social political, environmental forces. In the meantime, strategic spatial planning becomes more holistic in scope, more strategic and scenario-oriented in content and more interactive and collaborative in nature. In this article, the features and evolving view of strategic spatial planning is described and the application of information support system...
In this paper, we empirically examine the factors that drive outsourced information systems development (ISD) project success in the post-contractual stage - that is, after the decision to outsource has been made. Specifically, we examine the impact of client expertise, vendor expertise, and project modularity on the client's and vendor's knowledge integration capabilities during the outsourcing relationship...
Despite the increased attention on boundary spanning in organizations, we still know surprisingly little about how boundaries are formed and what spanning activities can be applied in the context of offshore outsourcing organizations. This paper examines the antecedents of boundary formation in this context and also has proposed spanning activities that can help offshore outsourcing organizations...
Users experience frequently occurring problems and frustrating experiences with the IT they use. This paper develops a model of coping mechanisms in which users are likely to engage during these stressful encounters. Our model employs a dynamic approach to coping, indicating how coping mechanisms can change and be updated as the situation unfolds and is reappraised. Furthermore, our model points out...
Despite the large-scale adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP), attaining the expected benefits is still a challenging task. Organizational culture,a representative of holistic organizational context, is always neglected by prior studies when focusing on ERP assimilation. Through analyzing relative literatures, this paper drew upon five dimensions (interpersonal harmony, outcome orientation,...
