Designing A Comprehensive Framework For E-Government Implementation Success With A Special View Of The Case Of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Alsaigh
Designing A Comprehensive Framework For E-Government Implementation Success With A Special View Of The Case Of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Alsaigh
Theses and Dissertations
As a result of the increasing development in the field of Information Systems (IS) in the last decades, new concepts have appeared to serve specific requirements and needs (Smith 2010; Almarabeh and AbuAli 2010). E-government is one of these concepts, which appeared in 1993 (Silva 2006) to become one of the main tools for governments around the world to enhance the services provided by governments and their agencies (Atallah 2001). Investigating the literature shows that there are common issues in all e-government implementation projects which can be summarized as follows: 1) e-government implementation projects in their nature are vast, and …
The Knowledge Cube: Scaffolding For A Body Of Knowledge About Information Systems, Steven Alter
The Knowledge Cube: Scaffolding For A Body Of Knowledge About Information Systems, Steven Alter
Business Analytics and Information Systems
This paper answers calls for a body of knowledge (BoK) for the IS field. Its new approach for thinking about a BoK provides a path for addressing a longstanding problem in the IS discipline. The paper proposes organizing knowledge as a three dimensional "knowledge cube" that goes beyond compilations of categories of knowledge, sets of generalizations, and sets of documents. The structure of the knowledge cube is based on recognition that "work system in general" is a general case whose subordinate cases include information system in general and project in general. In turn, the special cases have their own special …
A Work System Front End For Object-Oriented Analysis And Des, Steven Alter
A Work System Front End For Object-Oriented Analysis And Des, Steven Alter
Business Analytics and Information Systems
This paper proposes that basic ideas from the work system theory (WST) and the work system method (WSM) might become a front end to object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD). After describing the background motivation and summarizing work system concepts, it uses a hiring system example to show how two tools from WSM can be used as a front end for OOAD, in effect, a step before creating use case diagrams. Potential benefits of this approach stem from a business-oriented question, "how can we improve this work system's performance," rather than an IT-oriented question, "how can we create an IT artifact …

1001 Listes: Strategic Breakthroughs By A Low-Tech Company In A High-Tech World, Chris Kimble, Isabelle Bourdon
1001 Listes: Strategic Breakthroughs By A Low-Tech Company In A High-Tech World, Chris Kimble, Isabelle Bourdon
Chris Kimble
Most articles on strategic breakthroughs tend to concentrate on large, high-tech organizations. Yet the French firm 1001 Listes, which creates and manages wedding lists, has shown that it is possible for even a relatively small organization to generate strategic breakthroughs with standard off-the-shelf information technology. Its experience highlights two points that previous studies have overlooked: Breakthrough strategies are based on innovations in business models as well as innovations in technology, and breakthrough strategies may actually reduce a company's reliance on high-tech solutions as a means of maintaining its competitive advantage. Using Henderson and Venkatraman's (1993) model of strategic alignment, this …
The Current Status Of Abet Accreditation Of Information Systems Programs, Ron Mackinnon, John N. Dyer, Kevin L. Elder
The Current Status Of Abet Accreditation Of Information Systems Programs, Ron Mackinnon, John N. Dyer, Kevin L. Elder
John N. Dyer
As of March 2012 there were 35 Information Systems (IS) programs at 34 universities accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This paper investigates these ABET accredited IS programs to see what these programs have in common and how do they differ from other IS programs. The data was collected by visiting the web pages of the selected IS programs. This paper includes a study of the required IS courses, elective IS courses, required programming courses, required business courses, the title of the IS program (IS/MIS/CIS), the department and college where the IS program was located and …
The Impact Of Analyst-Induced Misinformation On The Requirements Elicitation Process, Radha Appan, Glenn J. Browne
The Impact Of Analyst-Induced Misinformation On The Requirements Elicitation Process, Radha Appan, Glenn J. Browne
Business Faculty Publications
Information requirements determination (IRD) is concerned with developing accurate requirements for a proposed system, primarily by eliciting information from users and other organizational stakeholders. In this paper we build and test theory concerning a significant threat to the accuracy of information requirements, termed the misinformation effect. Misinformation is distorted, false, or other erroneous or misleading information that does not reflect the true state of the world or state of mind of the person communicating the information. The misinformation effect refers to the tendency of people to recall misleading or false information introduced to them following an event instead of original …
