Communications of the IIMA
In an effort to understand content, its taxonomy and management, we define content management as the process of managing the creation, categorization, delivery and archiving of content in which workflow and business processes are maximized. Built upon what industry experts have to offer about enterprise content taxonomy, we have enacted a framework to better understand, create and manage enterprise taxonomies. This framework will be able to integrate rich content, modern computing technology, advanced analytics, automated worlflow, business requirements and human resources into a process where companies can easily manage their information for decision making and gaining competitive advantages.
An Empirical Analysis Of Student Perceptions Of Website Components For Class Web-Sites, Jay M. Lightfoot
An Empirical Analysis Of Student Perceptions Of Website Components For Class Web-Sites, Jay M. Lightfoot
Communications of the IIMA
Technology has improved to the point where web-sites for every course taught by an instructor are possible. This has produced many instructional benefits; however, it has also created a new set of problems. The problem addressed by this paper is the question of which web-site components to include in the class web-site. This is important because different web components support different student learning styles. Because it is not feasible to include all known webcomponents, the instructor must select those components that are most useful and support the broadest group of students. To address this question, a survey instrument was developed …
Ethics In Information Systems: Student Performance In Evaluating Ethical Dilemmas, Charletta F. Gutierrez
Ethics In Information Systems: Student Performance In Evaluating Ethical Dilemmas, Charletta F. Gutierrez
Communications of the IIMA
The explosion in information technology in the last 20 years, and in particular, data communications networks, has had a major impact on ethical thinking and ethical issues. This has been manifested in the recent accounting and business scandals, as it is becoming apparent that the ethical dimensions of information systems-related business decisions cannot be safely ignored. It is important for business educators to introduce students to relevant ethical situations that they may face in the business world. This paper discusses the Information Systems ethical environment and students performance on business ethics cases in a telecommunications course. The results of this …

On-line courses have become an important component of the delivery of courses in all areas of education. The validity of online delivery is challenged if Web students perform poorly in subsequent major courses. This paper investigates the effect of mode of delivery and other factors on the level of success, failure, potential, and limitations of web delivery in course sequences. This study was conducted on a two-course sequence in the Computer Information Systems Department at Metropolitan State College of Denver. The result of this research identifies important factors impacting student success in this two course sequence.

A Longitudinal Pedagogical Study Of 39 Online And 25 Face-To-Face Sections Of Seven Different Graduate Level Mis Courses, Rassule Hadidi, Chung-Hsien Sung, Miles D. Woken
Communications of the IIMA
This paper reports on a longitudinal pedagogical study of performance and perceptions of 1021 students in 39 online and 25 face-to-face sections of seven different courses taught by six different professors. The differences between the students' perceptions of the quality of the instructors and student performance are statistically significant based on the mode of course delivery. Students rated the quality of instructors in the online courses higher for the duration of the study. Student grade averages are slightly lower in the online courses. For all of the other survey questions dealing with the evaluation of the courses and the instructors, …
The Impact Of Market Metaphysics On Information Infrastructure Decisions, Bernd Carsten Stahl
The Impact Of Market Metaphysics On Information Infrastructure Decisions, Bernd Carsten Stahl
Communications of the IIMA
One of the most pressing questions that governments and societies have to answer is how to develop the infrastructure of the expected information society. In this paper I will take a look at two archetypical positions: at a state-oriented and a market-oriented view. I will recount the arguments for both sides in order to then demonstrate that all of these arguments are in fact derivatives of the older discussion about state versus market that has been with us at least since Marx. I will then try to show that these arguments are based on metaphysical assumptions about the nature of …

An Exploratory Investigation Of The Learning Styles Of Students In An On-Line Degree Program, Nicholas A. Beadless Ii, Christopher M. Lowery
Communications of the IIMA
This study is an exploratory investigation into whether different leaning styles predict performance in an online course. Students enrolled in several cohorts of an accredited MBA program were surveyed with regard to their learning styles and those styles were correlated with the grades earned in the course. The program is unique in that the entire program could be completed online.

The development of countries with laggard economies is becoming a global concern. The harmful complications of poverty and illiteracy are beginning to show up outside those countries in violent forms. The precautions against this migration of harm are splitting the world apart at the same time as technology may become able to bring it together. Over the last few years, information technology (IT) has grown very fast and is still spreading into all aspects of life in developed countries. The recent research in those countries is bringing more evidence that IT is a leveraging tool for business and not a …

Some of these challenges include government policies, infrastructure, training, and culture of the recipient countries. The study …
The Study Of Competitive Priorities And Information Technology Selection: Exploring Buyer And Supplier Performance, Thawatchai Jitpaiboon
The Study Of Competitive Priorities And Information Technology Selection: Exploring Buyer And Supplier Performance, Thawatchai Jitpaiboon
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Competitive priorities are the critical operational dimensions a process or supply chain must possess to satisfy its internal or external customers. The concept of competitive priorities is very important to organizations because it helps them set up achievable goals and it has long been known to be associated with organizational performance. This research introduces an alternative theory to explain the mechanism by which the buying firms and suppliers adopt different competitive priorities as they enter into buyer-supplier relationships and to explore further how technology choices influence the competitive priority adaptation. Using empirical data collected from the Society of Manufacturing Engineer’s …
Using Document Indexers For Faceted Search In Dataspaces, Hsun-Ming Lee, Jaymeen Shah, Ju Long
Using Document Indexers For Faceted Search In Dataspaces, Hsun-Ming Lee, Jaymeen Shah, Ju Long
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Efficient information retrieval is essential to enrich user experience when searching for documents in dataspaces. With the continued growth in the volume and complexity of documents, the efficient information retrieval for searches has become increasingly challenging. To improve users’ search experience, faceted search combines direct keyword search methods with faceted browsing using a predefined set of categories (facets). This paper studies a faceted search approach that integrates dynamic facets generation with search. To further enhance the faceted search, alternative indexers based on pre-defined ontology for data repositories within dataspaces are evaluated in terms of execution time and data size. Experimental …
