To support the systematic improvement of business intelligence (BI) in organizations, we have designed and refined a BI maturity model (BIMM) and a respective measurement instrument (MI) in prior research. In this study, we devise an evaluation strategy, and evaluate the validity of the designed measurement artifact. Through cluster analysis of maturity assessments of 92 organizations, we identify...
IT governance is one of the top concerns of organizations today seeking to gain value from their IT investments and create competitive advantage. Organizational culture on the other hand is one of the various factors influencing IT governance performance. However there is not much research conducted to understand this topic deeply. This research thus, is exploring the influence of organizational culture...
The aim of this research is to evaluate empirically the possible linkage between ‘knowledge management maturity’ (KMM) and ‘organizational performance’. The study is carried out within project-based organizations, specifically targeting construction firms in Indonesia. Prior to the main study, an instrument to measure the two key variables are developed and tested for validity and reliability. Top...
The purpose of this research is to validate logistics service quality (LSQ) scale proposed by Mentzer, Flint, and Kent (MFK) to measure logistics service provided by 3PL provider in East Java, Indonesia. This research uses confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate the LSQ scale. In the CFA model, LSQ as second order construct consist of 9 first order constructs and 25 items scale. Based on the...
In the context of performance management and the involvement of companies in sustainable development, energy management is a new challenge. Managing energy is a complex problem as it can potentially impact the whole company and if mishandled could be harmful for its added value. In order to assist companies in this challenge, the ISO 50001 proposes a standard for the creation of Energy Management...
In the last years, the electricity and drinking water consumption have been increased in the world, the agents of electrical sector have done main efforts and investments with the purpose of satisfying energy requirements and mitigate environmental damages, nevertheless the drinking water consumption has not received attention. Ecuadorian customers of electricity distribution companies do not participate...
The purpose of our study is to examine whether the design and management of the interfaces and interaction processes between customer and provider in services outsourcing are determinants of the results achieved by the outsourcing company. Following the conceptual framework initiated in the study by Wynstra et al. [11], this study focuses on transport services and hypothesized relationships are tested...
This paper is focusing on designing of a pitot-static instruments test system for aircraft using a personal computer. Pitot-static pressure was acquired using data acquisition system then sent to the computer. Then the computer calculates the corresponding values of true airspeed, indicated airspeed, vertical speed, altitude, and Mach number according to mathematical models. These values are displayed...
The speed of innovation and the global allocation of resources to accelerate development or to reduce cost put pressure on the software industry. In the global competition, especially so-called high-price countries have to present arguments why the higher development cost is justified and what makes these countries an attractive host for software companies. Often, high-quality engineering and excellent...
Due to the rapid development of logistics industry, the customer need to send more and more small items, and manpower and resources are limited which are provided by logistics companies for the customer, therefor when customers sent items to logistics department need to wait in line, If the time waiting in queue more than the longest waiting time that customer can tolerate, customers will choose other...
This paper tries to shed light on whether emotional intelligence (EI) predicts leadership effectiveness (LE) in the Chinese context. To do this, we apply Bar-On's EI dimensions and LE dimensions in Leadership Effectiveness Analysis as the instrument in this study. The finding, contrast to the hypothesis, is that EI can not predict LE in the Chinese context. As one of the pioneer research in such domain,...
Protecting enterprise information from employee's misappropriation is a crucial but significantly challenging task for many companies in China. Chinese labor laws provide a set of protection for enterprises together with responsibilities regarding employee's misappropriation. This article suggests that those legal instruments would not be effective unless the appropriate prevention mechanisms have...
Considering the growing utilization of agile methodologies in software development, the tasks execution ends, sometimes, not being efficient. It might consider that, in concern of agile development in small and middle companies, this inefficiency may exists for teams witch the planning sprint development walks side by side with the maintenance of productions software. Therefore, it's notable the propensity...
The Knowledge Management (KM) is becoming a valuable strategic resource for the life of individuals and companies, and has been identified by scholars, researchers and scientists as relevant and required for the growth of organizations in various fields. This paper presents the results of a survey research with exploratory which seeks to identify what KM practices adopted by researchers in the research...
This paper examines the overall development of professional identity of two English teachers in the same Chinese college employing the narrative analysis approach. The process of sharing two participants' teaching experiences is proved to be instrumental in combing and understanding their change in professional identity, to which four factors are found to be instrumental, namely teachers' personality,...
The spread of the sustainability concept in heterogeneous contexts of use doesn't go together with a similar diffusion of operative instruments supporting the actual implementation of the sustainability paradigm in real manufacturing environments. The here presented SAM (Sustainability Assessment and advisory in Mould&die) platform perfectly fits a traditional product design process, thus enabling...
Demonstrating software reliability across multiple software revisions has become essential to end users of an end point detection system used in the semiconductor industry. This would enable them to make informed decisions of upgrading software versions without making significant impact to their current established processes. We show how one can use standard defect data normally collected in any software...
KS tools are tools that allow knowledge workers to share and reuse knowledge both in organizations and leisure environments. However the adoption of KS tools in most organizational ecosystem is slow and worrying, as many researchers have pointed out. This study looks into several factors such as nationality, experience, position and education that influence the usage on a list of KS tools. The study...
When John Barber, a project manager at Daktari Diagnostics, sought to test his company???s instrument, he went to the type of place where the technology might have the most impact: a small fishing village on the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda. He awoke at dawn on a November morning in 2013, tossed a few Daktari devices into a backpack, and, together with a team of HIV-treatment specialists, drove...
