You might think that firms with bureaucratic cultures would emphasize their use of management control systems. Contrary to expectations, firms with bureaucratic cultures are not users of management control systems!
Comparing The Understandability Of Alternative Data Warehouse Schemas: An Empirical Study, David Schuff, Karen Corral, Ozgur Turetken
Comparing The Understandability Of Alternative Data Warehouse Schemas: An Empirical Study, David Schuff, Karen Corral, Ozgur Turetken
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
An easily understood data warehouse model enables users to better identify and retrieve its data. It also makes it easier for users to suggest changes to its structure and content. Through an exploratory, empirical study, we compared the understandability of the star and traditional relational schemas. The results of our experiment contradict previous findings and show schema type did not lead to significant performance differences for a content identification task. Further, the relational schema actually led to slightly better results for a schema augmentation task. We discuss the implications of these findings for data warehouse design and future research.
Issues In The Development Of Location Privacy Theory, Robert Minch
Issues In The Development Of Location Privacy Theory, Robert Minch
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Issues in the development of location privacy theory are identified and organized based on both technological considerations and more general privacy theories. Three broad categories containing six issues are described: location (including sensing methods and location properties), privacy (including definition and subject identification), and information flows (from location information acquisition through storage, use, and sharing). An influence diagram model is presented which relates these issues in context and may serve as a basis for further theory development, empirical research, and public policy discussion.
Understanding Project Champions’ Ability To Gain Intra-Organizational Commitment For Environmental Projects, Thomas F. Gattiker, Craig R. Carter
Understanding Project Champions’ Ability To Gain Intra-Organizational Commitment For Environmental Projects, Thomas F. Gattiker, Craig R. Carter
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
A key enabler of environmental projects is the ability of the project champion to gain commitment to the project from other stakeholders in his or her organization. This paper develops a model of commitment-gaining success that is based on intra-organizational influence theory. The model also includes the project payback, customer pressure, government regulation, top management support and the project champion’s position in the organizational hierarchy. The model was tested using survey data from 241 environmental professionals describing their attempts to gain the buy-in of purchasing managers, operations managers, industrial engineers and others for environmental projects. The results (obtained from hierarchical …
Enterprise Resource Planning (Erp) Systems And The Manufacturing-Marketing Interface: An Information Processing Theory View, Thomas F. Gattiker
Enterprise Resource Planning (Erp) Systems And The Manufacturing-Marketing Interface: An Information Processing Theory View, Thomas F. Gattiker
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
The manufacturing-marketing (MM) interface has received substantial consideration in the operations management literature; however, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of information systems in facilitating MM integration. As integrated cross-functional systems, enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) are well-suited to provide MM integration. Based on information processing theory, the central proposition of this paper is the greater the interdependence between manufacturing and marketing, the greater the benefit of ERP. Specifically, H1 states that the greater ERP-enabled coordination between manufacturing and marketing, the greater the benefit of ERP to the plant. H2 states that the degree to which ERP-enabled …
Negotiation, Email, And Internet Reverse Auctions: How Sourcing Mechanisms Deployed By Buyers Affect Suppliers’ Trust, Thomas F. Gattiker, Xiaowen Huang, Joshua L. Schwarz
Negotiation, Email, And Internet Reverse Auctions: How Sourcing Mechanisms Deployed By Buyers Affect Suppliers’ Trust, Thomas F. Gattiker, Xiaowen Huang, Joshua L. Schwarz
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Internet has made a wealth of new tools available to the industrial buyer. However, researchers have suggested that computer mediated interaction with suppliers may not be conducive to strong supplier relationships in general and to trust in particular. This paper compares two computer-mediated sourcing tools (email negotiation and Internet reverse auctions) with face-to-face negotiation. Information richness theory suggests that the different media will produce different impacts relating to sellers’ trust in buyers. Data are generated with a simulation experiment using 117 subjects. We found that information richness affects seller-buyer trust: Sellers who used face-to-face negotiation, the richest medium in …
Privacy Issues In Location-Aware Mobile Devices, Robert P. Minch
Privacy Issues In Location-Aware Mobile Devices, Robert P. Minch
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Location awareness, the ability to determine geographical position, is an emerging technology with both significant benefits and important privacy implications for users of mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Location is determined either internally by a device or externally by systems and networks with which the device interacts, and the resultant location information may be stored, used, and disclosed under various conditions that are described. Thirteen specific privacy issues are enumerated and discussed as examples of the challenges we will face as these technologies and their associated products and services are deployed. Regulation by governments, standards organizations, industry …
Toward A Parsimonious Architecture For Intelligent Organizational Information Systems, Robert P. Minch
Toward A Parsimonious Architecture For Intelligent Organizational Information Systems, Robert P. Minch
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
An architecture for intelligent organizational information systems is proposed which consists of three functions: processing, communicating, and memory--any or all of which may be performed by either humans or computers. Processing occurs on a set of communicating processors with access to memory, and is defined as having three sub-functions: sensing, interpreting, and acting. The communicating and memory functions are seen to have certain basic characteristics whether described in terms from human organization or computer organization literature. The architecture may prove a useful guide for future research which begins to consider intelligent organizational information systems with increasingly synergistic roles played by …
Using Group Support Systems To Facilitate The Research Process, Robert Anson, Jack W. Fellers, Robert P. Bostrom, Laku Chidambaram
Using Group Support Systems To Facilitate The Research Process, Robert Anson, Jack W. Fellers, Robert P. Bostrom, Laku Chidambaram
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Group Support Systems (GSS) and their effects on group processes and outcomes have been an object of intense study over the past ten years. The purpose of this paper is to take a different perspective with respect to GSS research. Rather than discussing research about GSS, we will discuss the capabilities of GSS tools to support the process of doing research. A model of the steps involved in the research process is discussed and specific suggestions for the application of GSS tools are mapped to these research steps. GSS can provide a variety of benefits to researchers, including basic meeting …
Decision Support Systems Process Tracing Using Hypermedia, Robert P. Minch
Decision Support Systems Process Tracing Using Hypermedia, Robert P. Minch
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Two main alternative approaches to analyzing decision processes--implicit input/output inference models and explicit tracing of observable decision process manifestations-are reviewed with emphasis on explicit tracing methods. An emerging technology, hypermedia, is then examined as to how it may facilitate the process tracing method of decision making analysis. Examples are presented of mappings between hypermedia computer/user interface functions (such as mouse movements and mouse clicks) and underlying decision process functions. Issues of data quality, breadth of application, and implementation cost are discussed. Hypermedia process tracing is compared with other process tracing methods, including monitoring of eye movements, verbal protocols, and non …
Cooperative Processing: An Agenda For Research, Wita Wojtkowski, Waclaw G. Wojtkowski
Cooperative Processing: An Agenda For Research, Wita Wojtkowski, Waclaw G. Wojtkowski
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential research agenda for Cooperative Processing (COP). COP is a method of processing in which communications is an integral part of the process of executing an application. Numerous innovative products that support COP are starting to appear on the market. However, as is usually the case with any new technology, many organizations have not yet implemented COP. They have embraced a "wait and see" attitude. Such a stance can be attributed to the newness of the applications operating in COP mode and to the lack of data demonstrating COP'S uses and …
Measuring The Effectiveness Of Hypertext In Decision Support, Robert P. Minch, Gary I. Green
Measuring The Effectiveness Of Hypertext In Decision Support, Robert P. Minch, Gary I. Green
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Hypertext is an emerging technology that has not been researched adequately, particularly in organizations that utilize decision support technologies. This paper suggests that developing a set of dependent variables to measure effectiveness of hypertext in decision support is an important first step in a program of research. A review of empirical hypertext research is presented followed by a discussion of research assessing effectiveness of decision support and related systems. The role of hypertext in organizations is conceptually linked to the three main phases of the decision making process: problem structuring, analysis, and problem resolution. A set of six classes of …
Hypermedia Knowledge Management For Intelligent Organizations, Robert P. Minch
Hypermedia Knowledge Management For Intelligent Organizations, Robert P. Minch
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Using a simple model consisting of individual knowledge bases, organization knowledge bases, organization actions, and environment responses, hypermedia is investigated as a technology for knowledge management in intelligent organizations. Cognitive mapping, issue-based information systems, and generalized hypertext methods are reviewed before proposing desirable features of hypermedia organization knowledge management. These desirable features include a variety of typed hypertext nodes and links, process memory, learning support, and both automated and user-directed manipulation of knowledge bases. Interactions of the knowledge bases with organization actions and environmental responses are also discussed.
Research Issues Involving Hypertext In Decision Support Systems, Robert P. Minch
Research Issues Involving Hypertext In Decision Support Systems, Robert P. Minch
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
The term hypertext describes a computerized system which allows the user to browse through a network of nodes, each of which is commonly a collection of text but which may be quantitative models or other entities. A review o f DSS research and applications frameworks in the literature reveals several areas where further research may be valuable in identifying the usefulness and appropriate role of hypertext in DSS. These issues involve user characteristics, decision and problem characteristics, situational and organizational factors, and technological factors. Some areas which appear to be worthy of further investigation include hypertext's support of the human …
