End User Computing: A Critique Of The Empirical Literature, C. Steven Hunt, Ilyoo Hong
End User Computing: A Critique Of The Empirical Literature, C. Steven Hunt, Ilyoo Hong
Journal of International Information Management
This manuscript is an attempt to provide the reader with synopses of relevant research pertaining to the EUC literature. References included in [this paper for review address some of the most germane topics in IT management. With the recently increasing recognition that end users are a major player in the acquisition, use, and management of computer resources in business organizations, a host of researchers have examined diverse changes that have occurred in the computing environment in order to explore various issues associated with enduser computing (EUC). This paper suggests that past EUC research has extensively examined the effects of MIS …
Factors Determining The Behavior And Effectiveness Of Personal Decision Support Systems Users: An Examination Of Fishbein's Model, Jack Teh, L. A. Digman
Factors Determining The Behavior And Effectiveness Of Personal Decision Support Systems Users: An Examination Of Fishbein's Model, Jack Teh, L. A. Digman
Journal of International Information Management
Personal computing, and the microcomputer which support it, are referred to as Personal Decision Support Systems (PDSS) (Lehman, 1985). Empirical studies regarding personal computing have been of the general field study type, primarily examining trends and/or establishing the basic concept of personal computing. This research builds and empirically tests a research model that conceptualizes some "impact" variables which are internal to the user, as intervening in the relationship between the "situational" or external variables identified by previous MIS research and system success (utilization, decision performance, and satisfaction). This study employs a framework, based on Fishbein and Ajzen's intention-behavior model (1975), …

Personal Computing In The 1990s, Karen Reader, Brian H. Kleiner
Journal of International Information Management
Personal computers have changed the way that business is conducted in today's office. Every position in a company is affected by the use of personal computers from secretaries to top level management. Tasks and job duties are performed more easily thereby increasing productivity. Personal computers in the 1990s will be networked via LANs to other personal computers, minicomputers and mainframes to enhance people's abilities and allow them to perform their jobs better. With the increased use of LANs, many LAN productivity applications wUl be utilized that will also increase productivity. E-Mail and groupware software will allow people to interact with …
Vertical Integration Of Computing Facilities, A Transaction Cost Approach, Michael Piptea, Dan Pieptea
Vertical Integration Of Computing Facilities, A Transaction Cost Approach, Michael Piptea, Dan Pieptea
Journal of International Information Management
This paper develops a generalized model for computing capacity by identifying the main activities in a computer facility as formal transactions. The formal transactions carried out in a computing environment are characterized along two dimensions: freqency of occurrence and idiosyncrasy of assets. Vfe make recommendations as to how these formal transactons should be executed - across markets, internally or using intermediate forms of governance. It is shown that transactions in a computing facility fall into one of three categories: procurement of assets, maintenance and modification of assets, and collection, storage and processing of data into information. Formal transactions in a …
