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...
Information System (IS) was proved can act as an enabler to support, improve and enhance human activity and performance. Hence, Peer Evaluation System has been design and develops to support Malaysia higher learning institutions in assessing soft skills elements. The objective of the system is to provide a non-bias platform for students to evaluate their group members on a fair basis and to ease the...
In the last years, the use of web 2.0 has modified common organisational and operative practices. This has led "knowledge workers" to change their working practices through the use of Web 2.0 communication tools. Unfortunately, these tools have not been integrated with existing enterprise information systems. This is an important problem in an organisational context, because knowledge of...
A ubiquitous tourist system provides information and services available at tourist spots to the tourists unobtrusively. The information need to be provided in personalized way suitable to tourists with different requirements. To enable such efficient way of information provision, we need to consider the QoS requirements of the application and maintain it with the changing context of the tourist by...
In today's information-age, databases are at the heart of information systems. Unauthorized leakage of confidential database information, while computed by the associated database applications, may put the system at risk. Language-based information flow analysis is a promising field of research to detect possible information leakage in any software systems. So far, researchers pay little attention...
We conduct a qualitative, interview-based study with 12 participants in order to shed further light on the success factors of agile ISD because quantitative studies reported on contradictory results. First, we identify four success factors from previous literature that form the conceptual basis of our investigation. Those factors are the team, customer, organization, and communication. We extend previous...
Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A) applications have been investigated predominantly within organizational contexts, with users in formal, normatively regulated roles. This research explores what happens when BI&A is taken out of organizational context and made available to consumers, rather than organizational (e.g. Business) users. The paper offers an exploratory case study...
In this paper, we present a practice research strategy for collaboration with practitioners to execute valid and reliable research in the field while providing valuable, theory-based insight to practitioners who sponsor the research. This approach addresses the dual needs of researchers, who must gather data in real time and meet requirements of academic rigor, while maximizing the value and relevance...
Just as Lee, Briggs, and Dennis [8] showed that positivism's conception of "explanation" leads to requirements for positivist theory to satisfy, we show that a hermeneutical conception of "interpretation" leads to requirements for interpretive theory to satisfy. We refer to the hermeneutical philosopher Ricoeur's model of the text, by which "the methodology of text-interpretation...
Social media technologies have made it feasible for organizations to tap "wisdom of the crowd" beyond their own workforce. Many organizations use online crowd sourcing contests to find solutions for their business problems. In these contests, self-organized virtual teams compete for monetary reward. Motivated by this phenomenon, this research investigates how the social network structure...
Design Science research is a mainstream Information systems discipline, yet Living Lab literature seems not to leverage its insights. The paper describes how Living Labs can be conducted as Design Science Research (DSR) by adapting the Action Design Research method. The resulting method is named LL-ADR. A case is presented to indicate how LL-ADR can be applied and findings for both Living Labs and...
This paper presents a model for metacognitive learning evaluation in a community of inquiry and discusses how it may be used to incentivize effective learning in online graduate courses. We identify patterns of behavior and peer-learner interactions that indicate social engagement in community model building, based on an extensive, qualitative analysis of online course discussions and student interaction...
In the IS discipline, the formulation of design principles is an important vehicle to convey design knowledge that contributes beyond instantiations applicable in a limited context of use. However, their formulation still varies in terms of orientation, clarity, and precision. In this paper, we focus on the design of artifacts that are oriented towards human use, and we identify and analyze three...
Information Systems/Information Technology (IS/IT) can facilitate superior healthcare delivery. However, studies of IS/IT systems and implementations for Chinese Medicine (CM) practice are very limited. We analyze different inquiring systems and identify that CM can be more easily mapped as a combination of Hegelian and Kantian inquiring systems where multiple perspectives and facts as inputs are...
The debates on materiality and sociomateriality, hailing from science studies and organization studies, allow information systems (IS) researchers to evade received distinctions between the social, natural and technical. The literatures that inform this Minitrack contest a purely information-based perspective that posit abstract meanings and immaterial data divorced from situated contexts. Instead...
This paper aims to advance understanding of information systems (IS) through a critical reflection on how IS are currently defined in the IS literature. Using the hermeneutic approach for conducting literature reviews the paper identifies 34 definitions of IS in the literature. Based on the analysis of these 34 definitions four different views of IS are distinguished: a technology view emphasizing...
Measurement of information system (IS) project success remains an unsolved challenge. Instead of seeking a commonly accepted measurement framework, some scholars suggest a contingency approach. The idea is that no set of success dimensions fits best in all situations, instead, dimensions' relevance depends on given context. We continue existing research by investigating how the relevance of success...
In the current study, we examine the relative effects of the two types of consumer reviews (i.e., Positive and negative eWOM) on consumers' purchase decisions, and the moderating roles of the two types of information usefulness (i.e., Explicit usefulness and implicit usefulness). Analyzing a large-scale panel data collected from an online shopping site, we found that consumers' purchase decisions...
For over a decade, online games have impacted how we engage in work and play. Organizations are using online games to create new business models and companies are training their employees with game-like systems. Furthermore, digital video games increasingly blur the line between online and offline content, while "gamification: blurs the line between games and information systems. This minitrack...
