A User-Centered Perspective On Information Technologies In Museums, Jessie Pallud
A User-Centered Perspective On Information Technologies In Museums, Jessie Pallud
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
Information Technology (IT) has been put forth as a reasonable way to sustain visitor interest and encourage visit repetition in museums. Therefore, IT is becoming more common in museum settings and professionals express their need for more information about how their visitors interact with these systems. This dissertation is an attempt to answer this call. We propose three essays that deal with different aspects of museums and IT from a user-centered perspective. The first essay is an attempt to determine with a free simulation experiment how IT and more particularly websites can arouse interest for museological content. The second essay …
Studies On Adaptation To Information Systems: Multiple Roles And Coping Strategies, Christophe Elie-Dit-Cosaque
Studies On Adaptation To Information Systems: Multiple Roles And Coping Strategies, Christophe Elie-Dit-Cosaque
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
Understanding individual adaptation to Information Systems (IS) has received relatively little attention in IS research. For furthering these issues, a multi-paper dissertation is adopted and studies distinct aspects of user interaction with IT related with adaptation. Thus, in order to better understand how system users adapt to IT disruptions this study examines (1) how system users who become disrupted by IS that provide them with too much information interact with these systems, (2) the influence of espoused cultural values (Srite et al. 2006) on user coping strategies of adaptation to IS, and (3) middle managers responses to the implementation of …
Controlling Telework: An Exploratory Investigation Of Portfolios Of Control Applied To Remote Knowledge Workers, Jijie Wang
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
Abstract Enabled by the development of information technologies, telecommuting and telework have been incorporated into organizations for around 30 years. However, there still exists resistance to this work arrangement, particularly from middle-level managers. Formal knowledge about how to manage telework is needed to keep the managers better informed. I conducted a qualitative exploratory study to investigate how managers exercise controls in the telework environment and examined the role of the use of information technologies in organizational controls in this work environment. Based on interview data with people from two work groups that participate in telework program, I found that the …
A Multidimensional And Visual Exploration Approach To Project Portfolio Management, Guangzhi Zheng
A Multidimensional And Visual Exploration Approach To Project Portfolio Management, Guangzhi Zheng
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
Managing projects in an organization, especially a project-oriented organization, is a challenging task. Project data has a large volume and is complex to manage. It is different from managing a single project, because one needs to integrate and synthesize information from multiple projects and multiple perspectives for high-level strategic business decisions, such as aligning projects with business objectives, balancing investment and expected return, and allocating resources. Current methods and tools either do not well integrate multiple aspects or are not intuitive and easy to use for managers and executives. In this dissertation project, a multidimensional and visual exploration approach was …
Exploring It-Based Knowledge Sharing Practices: Representing Knowledge Within And Across Projects, Alina Maria Dulipovici
Exploring It-Based Knowledge Sharing Practices: Representing Knowledge Within And Across Projects, Alina Maria Dulipovici
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
EXPLORING IT-BASED KNOWLEDGE SHARING PRACTICES: REPRESENTING KNOWLEDGE WITHIN AND ACROSS PROJECTS Drawing on the social representation literature combined with a need to better understand knowledge sharing across projects, this research lays the ground for the development of a theoretical account seeking to explain the relationship between project members’ representations of knowledge sharing practices and the use of knowledge-based systems as boundary objects or shared systems. The concept of social representations is particularly appropriate for studying social issues in continuous evolution such as the adoption of a new information system. The research design is structured as an interpretive case study, focusing …
An Examination Of The Deaf Effect Response To Bad News Reporting In Information Systems Projects, Michael John Cuellar
An Examination Of The Deaf Effect Response To Bad News Reporting In Information Systems Projects, Michael John Cuellar
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
Information systems project management has historically been a problematic area. One of the reasons for this has been the issue of escalation where resources continue to be committed to a failing course of action. While many causes of escalation have been proposed, this dissertation investigates one possible cause: that the project manager may not hear, ignores or overrules a report of bad news to continue a failing course of action: the Deaf Effect response to bad news reporting. This effect has not been previously studied within the information systems literature. In this dissertation, the Deaf Effect is examined through a …
Trusting It Artifacts: How Trust Affects Our Use Of Technology, Anthony Osborn Vance
Trusting It Artifacts: How Trust Affects Our Use Of Technology, Anthony Osborn Vance
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
Despite recent interest in the role of trust in Information Systems, the potential of IS to foster trust in business relationships remains largely untapped. In order to better realize this potential, this dissertation examines three areas of IS trust research for which research is particularly limited: (1) the IT artifact as a target of trust, (2) IS-based source credibility as an antecedent of trust, and (3) the effect of anonymity on trust in online environments. The objective of this dissertation is to examine the effects of IS on trust in each of these areas. To do so, a multi-paper dissertation …
