The Moderating Effects Of Technology On Career Success: Can Social Networks Shatter The Glass Ceiling?, Paul Fadil, Cindi Smatt, Sharon L. Segrest, Crystal Owen
The Moderating Effects Of Technology On Career Success: Can Social Networks Shatter The Glass Ceiling?, Paul Fadil, Cindi Smatt, Sharon L. Segrest, Crystal Owen
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This paper reviews the demographic predictors of career success and proposes that technology plays a critical role in alleviating career success barriers for various demographic groups who have historically encountered barriers. Specifically we propose that technology can act as a moderator allowing minority groups greater participation and acceptance in networks. And, ultimately the greater participation and acceptance in networks will lead to greater career success for groups who have typically encountered “glass ceilings” based on demographic variables such as gender, age, race and ethnicity.
Inference-Guiding On Bayesian Knowledge-Based Systems, Jinchang Wang
Inference-Guiding On Bayesian Knowledge-Based Systems, Jinchang Wang
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Bayesian network is a robust structure for representing knowledge containing uncertainties in a knowledge-based system. In applications of expert systems and knowledge-based systems, it often happens that initial data are not sufficient to derive a conclusion of high enough certainty. Inference-guiding is in that case to identify the missing information, pursue its value, and lead inference to a conclusion. This paper presents and characterizes a criterion for effectively selecting key missing information, and thereby develops a “smart” inference approach with the inference-guiding function based on the newly developed criterion for uncertain inference in a Bayesian knowledge-based system.
Using Computer Resources For Personal Activities At Work: Employee Perceptions Of Acceptable Behavior, Troy J. Strader, Lou Ann Simpson, Suzanne R. Clayton
Using Computer Resources For Personal Activities At Work: Employee Perceptions Of Acceptable Behavior, Troy J. Strader, Lou Ann Simpson, Suzanne R. Clayton
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Employees use computer resources at work for personal activities and the implementation of countermeasures has not reduced this behavior. In this study we investigate the extent to which an employee’s ethical orientation and supervisory role have an impact on their perceptions regarding these behaviors. We find that employees assess acceptability using a utilitarian orientation. The more money and time involved in an activity, the more employees perceive them to be unacceptable. We also find that supervisors view these activities as less acceptable than do non-supervisor employees. Demographics have little to do with explaining perceptions. Research and managerial implications are discussed.
Cultural Issues In Software Estimation: From Intuition To Model Based Estimation In Upgrade Projects, Sanjay Mohapatra
Cultural Issues In Software Estimation: From Intuition To Model Based Estimation In Upgrade Projects, Sanjay Mohapatra
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This paper discusses issues related to change in culture that happens when software estimation becomes scientific, methodical and predictive. From a person based intuitive approach to model based estimation techniques, the approach necessitates a change in mindset and culture. This change in culture has been noticed in upgrade projects. Upgrades play an important role in product life cycle. A product is released with required features to meet immediate requirements of the customers. Any additional or modifications to features are carried through upgrade projects. These upgrades planned well in advance by the product developing organizations are made available to customers through …
A Study Into The Use Of Business Process Reengineering In Re-Designing Procurement Processes Within The Southern Health Board, Treasa Dempsey
A Study Into The Use Of Business Process Reengineering In Re-Designing Procurement Processes Within The Southern Health Board, Treasa Dempsey
Theses
Prior to undertaking the implementation of an integrated finance and procurement information system, the Southern Health Board (now know as the Health Service Executive - Southern Area) undertook a Business Process Reengineering project to redesign, standardise, streamline, and document their procurement processes. This study examines how useful Business Process Reengineering can be in a public sector environment, using the project undertaken in the Southern Health Board, as a case study. The literature on BPR, in conjunction with the material from the BPR project, and interviews from relevant project team members, is examined. The case study demonstrates that it may be …

Cultural And Diversity Perceptions Of It Workers Of Indian Descent, Amy B. Woszcznyski, P. Dembla, Sherri Shade
Faculty and Research Publications
Globalization has led to increased use of international work teams comprised of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Beliefs and values of individuals affect the working of such groups, so it is important to understand these differences. The aim of this paper is to understand the cultural and diversity perceptions of IT workers specifically of Indian descent. Two instruments, namely the Diversity Perceptions Index and Hofstede Value survey, were used to collect data. One hundred and eleven respondents of Indian descent working in the IT field completed the survey. Descriptive statistics provided initial results and discussion. The respondents valued diversity, although they …
Offering Rss Feeds: Does It Help To Gain Competitive Advantage?, Dan Ma
Offering Rss Feeds: Does It Help To Gain Competitive Advantage?, Dan Ma
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Nowadays, many Websites have adopted the really simple syndication (RSS) technology to deliver online content to visitors. In this paper, I build an analytical model to examine how the offering of RSS feeds impact the number of visitors, total traffic load, and profit of Websites in a competitive setting. I show that although RSS can always attract more visitors, it may reduce the Website's profit. Interestingly, in a competitive market there are cases that the RSS feeds hurt the offering Website but benefit the competing Website instead. The conditions under which these will happen are derived. I also study the …
When Is It Beneficial For A Firm To Pursue A Unified Procurement Strategy For Enterprise Software Solutions?, Robert J. Kauffman, Juliana Y. Tsai
When Is It Beneficial For A Firm To Pursue A Unified Procurement Strategy For Enterprise Software Solutions?, Robert J. Kauffman, Juliana Y. Tsai
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The underlying structure of the enterprise software marketplace during the past ten years suggests that the arrangements that firms make with respect to the acquisition of such software capabilities will become increasingly concentrated. This article explores the multiple theoretical rationales and business cases for the move to a unified procurement strategy for enterprise software, reflecting some differences in terms of what might be expected from the predictions of the well known move-to-the-middle hypothesis. Our central argument is that a "move-to-the-middle" with more than just a single vendor is the likely outcome in unconsolidated industry markets. In industries experiencing consolidation, firms …
The Impact On Organizational Performance Of Contextual Factors, Strategy And Management Control Systems, Nazmi Saeb Jarrar
The Impact On Organizational Performance Of Contextual Factors, Strategy And Management Control Systems, Nazmi Saeb Jarrar
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This dissertation examined antecedents of the use of contemporary management control systems (MCS) by testing the alignment of strategic and contextual variables with variables of contemporary systems of control in the organization. The study further explored the performance consequences of the implementation of these control systems, and the manner in which strategy can influence the organization’s control culture and management accounting practices. The impact of contextual factors, notably size and structural arrangements, such as decentralization and diversification, on management's choice of control systems were also examined. Hence, the study addressed the need for a better understanding of the association between …
Learning And Forgetting In Maintenance Outsourcing, Hakan Tarakci, Sunantha Teyarachakul, Kwei Tang
Learning And Forgetting In Maintenance Outsourcing, Hakan Tarakci, Sunantha Teyarachakul, Kwei Tang
Hakan Tarakci
We study the effects of learning and forgetting on maintenance outsourcing in this paper. This is an extension of the paper by Tarakci et al. (2009), which analyzed the effects of learning on maintenance outsourcing. In our model, a manufacturer offers a short-term outsourcing contract, where payment includes a fixed value along with cost subsidization for each preventive maintenance activity, to an external contractor. The contractor schedules and performs preventive maintenance activities as well as repairs the system if there is a failure. We consider two types of learning: natural learning and learning by costly efforts. We then analyze the …
On The Problem Of Production Deadline And Maintenance Outsourcing, Sharafali Moosa, Hakan Tarakci
On The Problem Of Production Deadline And Maintenance Outsourcing, Sharafali Moosa, Hakan Tarakci
Hakan Tarakci
In this paper we consider a production-maintenance problem in which a buyer and a supplier have already entered into a contractual relationship for a firm delivery date. Our focus is on the production-related decisions of the supplier rather than the nature of the contract itself. We assume that production rate is actually constant as long as the system is up and running but randomness arises in production due to downtimes as a result of unpredictable failures (breakdowns) and scheduled preventive maintenance activities. Production maintenance is outsourced. As production output is random due to unreliable production facilities, the supplier needs to …
The Convergence In Workers’ Skill Levels Under Learning And Forgetting: The Fixed-Point-Property Approach, Sunantha Teyarachakul, Dogan Comez, Hakan Tarakci
The Convergence In Workers’ Skill Levels Under Learning And Forgetting: The Fixed-Point-Property Approach, Sunantha Teyarachakul, Dogan Comez, Hakan Tarakci
Hakan Tarakci
This paper presents a study on the convergence of workers’ skill levels under learning and forgetting in processing time in a batch-manufacturing environment. The convergence properties are examined under assumptions of an infinite horizon, a constant demand rate, and a fixed lot size. Our work extends the convergence results of Teyarachakul, Chand, and Ward (2008) beyond Globerson and Levin’s (1987) exponential forgetting function and Wright’s (1936) learning curve to more general classes of learning and forgetting functions. We also discuss why early papers other than Teyarachakul, Chand, and Ward (2008) did not find other types of long-term behaviors beyond convergence …
Detailed Online Quizzes: Facilitating Holistic, Integrated Learning Experience In Operations Management, Rahul Kale, Saurabh Gupta, Paul Fadil
Detailed Online Quizzes: Facilitating Holistic, Integrated Learning Experience In Operations Management, Rahul Kale, Saurabh Gupta, Paul Fadil
Saurabh Gupta
Curriculum research in business schools points out that operations management (OM) is one of the more challenging courses to teach. Instructors have always struggled to enhance the student learning experience in OM courses. This article illustrates the development and utilisation of detailed online quizzes in a core OM undergraduate course and demonstrates its potential to achieve higher levels of student learning by mapping the quiz questions to the Bloom's taxonomy. The authors' argue that such quizzes lead to enhanced student performance and a more fulfilling course experience. To substantiate this position, the results of a quasi-experiment which test student perceptions …

The Influence Of Culture And Demography On Classroom Participation: Integrating Technology Into The Pedagogical Paradigm, Saurabh Gupta, Paul Fadil, Rahul Kale
Saurabh Gupta
This paper explores how technology can overcome the negative influences of cultural and demographical differences on classroom participation. The authors propose a theoretically-based, pedagogical paradigm which illustrates how barriers erected by cultural and demographic differences in the classroom can be overcome by utilizing advanced information technology. Finally the influences of classroom participation on various learning objectives are reviewed, propositions are derived from the model, and future research directions are discussed.

How Incorporating Feedback Mechanisms In A Dss Affects Dss Evaluations, Ujwal Kayande, Arnaud De Bruyn, Gary Lilien, Arvind Rangaswamy, Gerrit Van Bruggen
How Incorporating Feedback Mechanisms In A Dss Affects Dss Evaluations, Ujwal Kayande, Arnaud De Bruyn, Gary Lilien, Arvind Rangaswamy, Gerrit Van Bruggen

Model-based decision support systems (DSS) improve performance in many contexts that are data-rich, uncertain, and require repetitive decisions. But such DSS are often not designed to help users understand and internalize the underlying factors driving DSS recommendations. Users then feel uncertain about DSS recommendations, leading them to possibly avoid using the system. We argue that a DSS must be designed to induce an alignment of a decision maker’s mental model with the decision model embedded in the DSS. Such an alignment requires effort from the decision maker and guidance from the DSS. We experimentally evaluate two DSS design characteristics that …
A Meta-Theory For Understanding Systems Within Socio-Technical Systems, Robert Bostrom, Saurabh Gupta, Dominic Thomas
A Meta-Theory For Understanding Systems Within Socio-Technical Systems, Robert Bostrom, Saurabh Gupta, Dominic Thomas
Saurabh Gupta
Information systems (IS) research often attempts to examine and explain how technology leads to outcomes through usage of IS. Although extensive research in this area has resulted in a significant number of theories, limited work has been done on integrating these theories. This paper presents adaptive structuration theory (AST) as a meta-theory for examining IS within an organizational context. The two main contributions of the paper are an understanding of meta-theory’s role in IS and building a case for using AST as a meta-theory to (1) provide an overarching perspective for understanding and integrating existing literature and theories, (2) provide …
Action Research In Emerging Technologies In Health Information Systems: Creating A Mobile Information Environment In A Hospital Ward, Linda Dawson, Julie Fisher, Stephen Weeding, Liza Heslop, Andrew Howard
Action Research In Emerging Technologies In Health Information Systems: Creating A Mobile Information Environment In A Hospital Ward, Linda Dawson, Julie Fisher, Stephen Weeding, Liza Heslop, Andrew Howard
Associate Professor Linda Dawson
Wireless networks, mobile devices and associated applications are key emerging technologies ideal for nomadic workers such as clinicians in hospital ward settings. These mobile information environments can potentially enhance clinicians’ use of patient management and clinical systems by providing decision support and clinical information at the bedside or point of care. Such technologies need to be critically assessed in a hospital environment for their wider potential and application for delivery of information at the point of care. This paper describes the use of action research methods in a project which analysed an existing clinical Information Communication Technology (ICT) environment in …
