Machines And Machinations: The Integrated Care Record Service In The Uk National Health Service, Reshma Ramesh Gandecha, Christopher Atkinson, Anastasia Papazafeiropoulou, Lampros Stergioulas
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This paper examines the use of Actor Network Theory (ANT) as a lens to get a better understanding of the implementation of the Integrated Care Record Service (ICRS) in the UK National Health Service (NHS). Actor Network Theory has been deployed in various environments to achieve a better understanding of the roles of not only the humans but also the artifacts that constitute, in this case, healthcare networks of services and organisations. The theory is used as a means of supporting real world interventions, providing a richer understanding of complexities involved and thereby helps management to make better decisions. This …
The Road To Erp Success: Understanding End-User Perceptions, Asli Yagmur Akbulut, Jaideep Motwani
The Road To Erp Success: Understanding End-User Perceptions, Asli Yagmur Akbulut, Jaideep Motwani
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Even though there is a growing body of literature that focuses on improving the success rate of enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects, there is a lack of research aimed at understanding end- users perceptions of ERP systems. Given that employee expectations and attitudes play an important role in the success of ERP projects, the purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of end-user perceptions of ERP systems. In order to achieve this objective, we provide empirical evidence from two companies that have recently implemented ERP systems. We also offer strategies that could be utilized by managers, project …
A Methodology For Evaluating Data And Output Misfits In Commercial Off-The-Shelf Erp Systems, Jen-Her Wu, Chang-Tseh Hsieh, Shin-Shing Shin, Chi-Cheng Wu
A Methodology For Evaluating Data And Output Misfits In Commercial Off-The-Shelf Erp Systems, Jen-Her Wu, Chang-Tseh Hsieh, Shin-Shing Shin, Chi-Cheng Wu
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This paper presents a methodology based on the task-technology fit theory to identify data and output misfits in the ex-ante evaluation of an off-the shelf enterprise resources planning (ERP) package. The proposed methodology consists of two stages: output misfit analysis and data misfit analysis. The purpose of the first stage is to identify corresponding field (output misfits) and data glossary for data misfit analysis. The latter stage identifies data misfits for every corresponding activity in the business process sequence. The proposed methodology provides a systematic approach to alleviate the difficulty and complexity in identifying data and output misfits. The identification …

Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Enterprise data warehouses are an expensive investment in both time and resources. The promise of data warehouses is improved decision-making through user empowerment and enablement of sophisticated decision support tools. Have organizations been able to achieve this goal? Task- technology fit defines a model that suggests that for a technology to be utilized, it must meet the needs of a user and provide features that support the fit of the requirements of the task; performance impacts will result. When an organization commits the time and resources necessary to develop an enterprise data warehouse, their expectation will be a high task-technology …
Applying Theoretical Frameworks To Explicate Physician Acceptance Of Computerized Physician Order Entry (Cpoe), David Rosenthal, Elaine Seeman, Shanan Gibson
Applying Theoretical Frameworks To Explicate Physician Acceptance Of Computerized Physician Order Entry (Cpoe), David Rosenthal, Elaine Seeman, Shanan Gibson
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This paper reports the findings of a pilot study undertaken to ascertain the feasibility of incorporating the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Taxonomy of Work Values into the explanation of physician technology acceptance of a new organizational technology – Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). While Davis’s Technology Acceptance Model has received much empirical support, we posit that certain complexities associated with the physician population and the hospital environment warrant the inclusion of other theoretical models as a means of furthering our understanding of technology acceptance. Although preliminary in nature, this study finds support for the inclusion of both the …

Features Of Born-Global Processing Plants Under The Global Economy, Helen G. Zhao, Vistor H.Y. Lo, Domenic Sculli
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
A Born-Global Processing Plant (BGPP) is the formation of a new manufacturing plant specifically for the world-wide outsourcing industry and is a unique product of the global economy. The concept of a Born-Global entity has been mainly associated with high-tech industries and high-tech products. In this paper we extend the term BGPP to cover the concept of Born-Global to mature/low-tech and labor intensive processing plants that produce many of the traditional manufactured products. Such processing plants form the backbone of Southern China’s economic development. The conventional view regards a BGPP as playing a minor role in a traditional multinational enterprise …
