Many solutions to important societal problems relating to the environment, health care, transportation, etc. seek to utilize the promises of the Internet of Things (IoT), where sensing, computation, and actuation merge the physical world with the computational world. To date, many such solutions have focused on a single problem domain and require dedicated sensor and actuator infrastructure. This...
A Body of Knowledge (BOK) is a term used to represent the complete set of concepts, terms, and activities that make up a professional domain. It encompasses the core teaching skills and research in a field or industry [13]. One of the main concerns of the software industry is to develop the talent of its human resources since the quality and innovation of its products and services depend of a great...
Although there have been numerous initiatives to promote and recruit students into postsecondary studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, traditional programs of studies for both K to 12 school and teacher education programs still lack an integrative approach to these disciplines. Addressing this concern, the Werklund School of Education of the University of Calgary started to...
This study investigated the use of mobile-mediated communication (MMC) with computational intelligence in a task-based learning (TBL) exercise for an English as a foreign language (EFL) class in Taiwan. Students used LINE, an instant messaging application, to send English-language messages to one another while completing an online game that simulates an archaeological expedition in an ancient Egyptian...
The aim of this study is to develop a conceptual model that could use to understanding the role of organizational factors in KMS acceptance. Theory Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) along with organizational factors are using in develop the conceptual model for this study. Study was conducted by collected and analysis relevant article in this area. Variable and indictors in the conceptual model was...
Experts in enterprise social technologies believe that these new tools require new skills and attitudes from business professionals. Against this background, the present study examines the impact knowledge workers' social technology readiness has on their innovative work behavior. Specifically, we investigate how social technology motivators (i.e., optimism and innovativeness) and inhibitors (i.e...
This qualitative research examined the links between business models, business strategy and innovation and investigated the extent to which knowledge and innovation management (KIM) contributes to the processes of value creation, value networks and value capture across six organizations characterized by successful innovation performance and strong KIM practices. The development of KIM as a dynamic...
Against the backdrop of pervasive digitization, industrial equipment in the manufacturing industry is increasingly augmented with digital technology. Since the industrial service business plays a growing role for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the physical and digital materiality of industrial equipment particularly has gained importance for service innovation. Despite these new opportunities,...
This paper uses the Aristotelian concept of phronesis (practical wisdom) as a sensitizing device to explore digital materiality in relation to user experience. We studied a digital innovation called Prudence, and observed that it possesses material properties including sensitivity to particulars, interactive ability, open-mindedness, and future orientation, making it context-aware. These properties...
Crowdfunding has thus far been run by stand-alone crowdfunding platforms, many of them formed by for-profit companies. However, a number of universities have begun to start their own platforms. These "corporate crowdfunding" platforms are likely to have more resources at their disposal than stand-alone platforms but less flexibility as the overarching organization exerts control and decision-making...
This paper advances the concept of pre-theory design frameworks as a notable means of justifying early design experiences that form preliminaries to design theories. Design work situated in complex design problem settings can field artifacts that shift the entropy in the setting (i.e., relocate work and noise). Such shifts can trigger a progressive transformation from a problem setting to a solution...
This conceptual paper argues that knowledge involves individual and social construction. As such, knowledge is more often than not subjective and inter-subjective. Furthermore, a specific form of constructed knowledge (known as collective tacit knowledge) can only be attained across social immersion and engagement. Paradoxically, it is through this subjective contextualisation of knowledge that we...
The Internet of Things (IoT) creates a myriad of new business opportunities that focus on collecting, transmitting, and analyzing product data. IoT collaborations bring together diverse firms with separate skill-sets that both produce and utilize digitized data to co-create value. While previous research has explored the technical implications of IoT in great detail, it has largely ignored the business...
Innovation competitions are considered to be an instrument by which companies can inspire customers and employees to generate value-added ideas. However, there is little research on how the quality contributions are made and by whom. In this paper, a case study-based analysis is carried out at a global telecommunications company. Through the analysis of log files, the participating users are categorized...
Country level militarization is negatively related to commercial product innovation by new technology ventures. Using multilevel mixed effects logistic regression modeling, I find that country militarization is a significant predictor of firm innovation in high technology industries like robotics. These findings contribute to the entrepreneurial innovation literature by specifically focusing upon...
The chief information officer (CIO) is pivotal in enabling public sector organizations of developing countries to gain the full potential of information and communication technologies. Extant literature studied important aspects related to CIOs, such as competencies, roles, and relationship with CEO, yet it is fragmented and insufficiently comprehensive to offer an effective pathway or model to guide...
Studies looking at e-learning adoption from a multi-dimensional perspective have remained below expectation especially in developing countries. This study explores the technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) determinants of e-learning adoption in universities in developing countries, with the 'nature of the course' added to the constructs to underpin the study. Using survey research,...
This study investigates factors affecting the adoption of online grocery shopping and online grocery purchase amount based on the theories of innovation classification scheme, food related lifestyle, and product heterogeneity. Using real purchase data from 732 consumer households, logit regression and linear regression with Box-Cox transformation were conducted to accomplish the goals of this study...
