Learning Computational Thinking From Rapid Digital Game Creation, Praveen Kuruvada, Daniel Asamoah, Nikunj Dalal, Subhash Kak
Management Information Systems Faculty Publications
Computational Thinking (CT) has been described as a universally applicable ability such as reading and writing. In this paper, we describe an innovative pedagogy using Rapid Digital Game Creation (RDGC) for learning CT skills. RDGC involves the rapid building of digital games with high-level software that requires little or no programming knowledge. We analyze how RDGC supports various CT concepts and how it may be mapped to equivalent Java concepts by building the same game using both RDGC and Java. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach for attracting computing majors, as a precursor to learning formal programming languages, …

Underlying Factors Of Entrepreneurial Intentions Among Asian Students, Nurul Indarti, Rokhima Rostiani, Tur Nastiti
The South East Asian Journal of Management
A survey among 650 undergraduate students in Asian countries, including Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, showed that student's entrepreneurial intentions and the determining factors varied from country to country. Generally, self-efficacy, environmental factors, age, and gender were found to have significant impact on entrepreneurial intentions among Asian students. However, the model could only explain 25.5% total variance of entrepreneurial intentions. it is expected that results of this research can give insights for government and universities to formulate policies and programs to cultivate entrepreneurial spirit among students.

Chinese Economic Activities In Sub Saharan Africa: A Substitute For Europe?, Ineke Keers, Bartjan J. W. Pennink Dr.
The South East Asian Journal of Management
This paper aims to investigate if the Chinese economic ties with Sub Saharan Africa serve as a substitute for this existing European-African relationship. Three types of economic activities are studied to determine a possible substitution effect: 1) trade (imports and exports) 2) foreign direct investment (FDI) flows; and 3) development aid from China and the European Union towards six African countries. Because natural resources, especially oil, appear to be a driver for Sino-African trade this study focuses on oil-importing and oil-exporting African countries. The group of oil-importing African countries is formed by South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya. The oil-producing countries …

While the digital revolution has transformed the way many of us work and live, more than half the world's population lives in rural areas that have been shut-out of the digital transformation. Low-income countries have yet to realize the benefits from the digital revolution; therefore, a need exists for innovative and alternative models to overcome the lack of access to knowledge and learning. This paper examines the challenges faced by low-income countries in accessing ICT enabled content and proposes a Big-Small model where low-income countries can harness the ICT revolution. This paper concludes with a discussion on sustainability and future …

Data Governance: A Study Of The Current State And Emerging Trends, Wendell Scott Dismute
Theses and Dissertations
Data Governance processes, whether informal or formal, are existent in most organizations today. Data governance has become increasingly more important as the size of organizations has increased and enterprise data have become more complex. Poor data quality, poor decision-making, and policy and compliance issues have motivated organizations to explore and implement data governance programs. Organizations seek data governance programs that have clearly defined goals, processes for creating standards and policies, and metrics in place to measure progress. This research will examine data governance's relationship with other data-related disciplines such as data quality and data stewardship. This research introduces the 4P …

The process of comprehending a problem, strategically developing a solution and translating the solution into an algorithm is arguably the single most important series of skills acquired during the education of an undergraduate computer science or information technology major. With this in mind, much care should be taken when choosing a programming language to deploy in the first University programming course. BLAKE, Beginners Language for Acquiring Key programming Essentials, is designed specifically for use in a Programming I class. BLAKE aids in enforcing fundamental object-oriented practices while simultaneously facilitating the transition to subsequent programming languages. BLAKE’s major features include; consistent …

Given declining management information systems (MIS) enrollments at our university, we seek to understand our students‘ selection of a major. Prior studies have found that students choose a major based on a number of factors, with subject matter interest consistently being most important. We contribute to the literature by developing a deeper understanding of what is meant by subject matter interest, which we refer to as smiFactors, for MIS as a major and career. Based on a qualitative analysis of open-ended survey questions completed by undergraduate business students, we confirm a number of smiFactors for MIS gleaned from recent studies …

Increasing freight volumes are adding pressure to the Oregon transportation system. Monitoring the performance of the transportation system and freight movements is essential to guarantee the economic development of the region, the efficient allocation of resources, and the quality of life of all Oregonians. Freight data is expensive to collect and maintain. Confidentiality issues, the size of the datasets, and the complexity of freight movements are barriers that preclude the easy access and analysis of freight data. Data accessibility and integration is essential to ensure successful freight planning and consistency across regional partner agencies and planning organizations. In relation to …

Cloud Services From A Consumer Perspective, Philip Koehler, Arun Anandasivam, Dan Ma
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Although there is an increased attention on Cloud Computing in the academic literature in the recent years, most research work focus on technical aspects of cloud computing. Research on consumers’ preferences for cloud services is limited to studies from consulting and industry companies. This paper fills the gap by empirically identifying consumer preferences for cloud service attributes. Using conjoint methods we reveal the relative importance of different attributes of cloud services. The results help both practitioners and academic researchers to better understand the prerequisites of a successful market introduction of cloud services and to design appropriate services. Moreover, the derived …

The ability to utilize information systems (IS) effectively is becoming a necessity for business professionals. However, individuals differ in their abilities to use IS effectively, with some achieving exceptional performance in IS use and others being unable to do so. Therefore, developing a set of skills and attributes to achieve IS user competency, or the ability to realize the fullest potential and the greatest performance from IS use, is important. Various constructs have been identified in the literature to describe IS users with regard to their intentions to use IS and their frequency of IS usage, but studies to describe …
