Buyer Perceptions Of Supply Disruption Risk: A Behavioral View And Empirical Assessment, Scott C. Ellis, Raymond M. Henry, Jeff Shockley 2010 Clemson University

Buyer Perceptions Of Supply Disruption Risk: A Behavioral View And Empirical Assessment, Scott C. Ellis, Raymond M. Henry, Jeff Shockley

Business Faculty Publications

As supply chains become more complex, firms face increasing risks of supply disruptions. The process through which buyers make decisions in the face of these risks, however, has not been explored. Despite research highlighting the importance of behavioral approaches to risk, there is limited research that applies these views of risk in the supply chain literature. This paper addresses this gap by drawing on behavioral risk theory to investigate the causal relationships amongst situation, representations of risk, and decision-making within the purchasing domain. We operationalize and explore the relationship between three representations of supply disruption risk: magnitude of supply disruption, …

A Method For Developing Churchmanian Knowledge Management Systems, Lars Linden 2010 University of Central Florida

A Method For Developing Churchmanian Knowledge Management Systems, Lars Linden

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Some problems confronted by managers include ill-formulated wicked planning problems, a type of problem that is difficult to solve because, in part, it is difficult to know what the problem is. The Churchmanian Knowledge Management Systems (CKMS) (Richardson & Courtney, 2004) is comprised of design principles for aiding system designers, managers, and clients who make decisions pertaining to these ill-formulated wicked planning problems. Problemography theory is proposed as a method for developing a CKMS. The method aims to measure CKMS development by using development tools that enables stakeholders and theoreticians to clarify CKMS development. A study was conducted to test …


Validity Of Delone And Mclean’S E-Commerce Model In B2c Student Loan Industry, Hyonsong Chong, Dewaynna Cates, Rupak Rauniar 2010 Jackson State University

Validity Of Delone And Mclean’S E-Commerce Model In B2c Student Loan Industry, Hyonsong Chong, Dewaynna Cates, Rupak Rauniar

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

This paper empirically investigates the popular theoretical model of DeLone & McLean (2004) to measure the perceived benefits of B2C e-commerce for individuals who acquire and manage their student loans online. This study is one of the earliest validation tests on DeLone & McLean’s e-commerce success framework in the context of B2C information system. The result indicated fairly good fit of the model to data, though several relationships in the model were insignificant. It also suggested that System Quality was the least influential among three exogenous constructs and User Satisfaction much more directly influenced Net Benefit than System Use.

Identifying Entity Types For E-R Diagramming In Developing Data- Intensive Web Applications, Seung C. Lee 2010 University of Minnesota at Duluth

Identifying Entity Types For E-R Diagramming In Developing Data- Intensive Web Applications, Seung C. Lee

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

Although the Web has become a major enabler for data-intensive business applications such as e-tailing, customer relationship management, and supply chain management, we find that most Web applications are built up in ad hoc fashion, raising the data-related issues of data definition and data integration. This paper proposes a new approach for identifying entity types for E-R diagramming in developing data-rich Web applications. The methodology is founded on elements of Web applications including pages, links, Web application architecture, and business logic modules.


A Bpm-Systems Architecture That Supports Dynamic And Collaborative Processes, Pascal Ravesteijin, Martijn Zoet 2010 HU University of Applied Sciences

A Bpm-Systems Architecture That Supports Dynamic And Collaborative Processes, Pascal Ravesteijin, Martijn Zoet

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) are increasingly implemented in and across organizations. However, the current combination of functionality, concepts and characteristics in BPMSs is very much based on an industrial-based view of the economy while western economies are rapidly moving towards an information and service economy in which the ratio of knowledge workers is rising dramatically. Compared to the ‘old’ type of worker the knowledge worker is typically highly educated, used to collaborating with other knowledge workers and less likely to be sensitive to a controlling style of management in the execution of his or her work. While many organizations …

Detailing Vs. Direct-To-Consumer Advertising In The Prescription Pharmaceutical Industry, Ram Bala, Pradeep Bhardwaj 2010 Santa Clara University

Detailing Vs. Direct-To-Consumer Advertising In The Prescription Pharmaceutical Industry, Ram Bala, Pradeep Bhardwaj

Information Systems and Analytics

The pharmaceutical industry has always used sales representatives to target physicians (detailing), who are a key link in sales and market share for prescription pharmaceuticals. Since August of 1997 when the Food and Drug Administration eased the restrictions on Direct-toconsumer advertising (DTCA), there has been a dramatic increase in the use of DTCA by pharmaceutical firms to target end customers (patients). DTCA seems to have two different effects on pharmaceutical markets. The first is to inform patients about the availability of drugs for some ailments, thus expanding the market (constructive). The second is to persuade patients to talk about specific …

Understanding Project Champions’ Ability To Gain Intra-Organizational Commitment For Environmental Projects, Thomas F. Gattiker, Craig R. Carter

IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations

A key enabler of environmental projects is the ability of the project champion to gain commitment to the project from other stakeholders in his or her organization. This paper develops a model of commitment-gaining success that is based on intra-organizational influence theory. The model also includes the project payback, customer pressure, government regulation, top management support and the project champion’s position in the organizational hierarchy. The model was tested using survey data from 241 environmental professionals describing their attempts to gain the buy-in of purchasing managers, operations managers, industrial engineers and others for environmental projects. The results (obtained from hierarchical …

Knowledge Management: Integrating Social Networking Technologies And A Generative Learning Environment, Priscilla Arling, Mark Chun, B. Mcquaid

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

Social networking technologies have commanded a lot of recent attention because they have changed the manner in which individuals have traditionally and historically accessed and shared knowledge. Although these technologies provide individuals with the opportunity to access and to utilize a plethora of knowledge created by others, the knowledge still needs to be organized, interpreted, and incorporated by the user in order for it to be useful. This research sought to better understand how social networking technologies can aid a firm's efforts to establish a knowledge management and a generative learning environment. The study closely followed one of the United …

An Experimental Study Of Executive Decision-Making With Implications For Decision Support, Terence T. Ow, James G. Morris 2010 Marquette University

An Experimental Study Of Executive Decision-Making With Implications For Decision Support, Terence T. Ow, James G. Morris

Management Faculty Research and Publications

Past research in the field of information systems has explored factors and conditions that are relevant to decision-making in many contexts. However, very little is known about how executives consider, weigh, and integrate these factors. One current school of thought holds that intuition and instincts can play a significant role and that when decision-makers use their instincts, they rely on only a relatively small subset of the cues available to them. This has implications for designing and improving decision support systems, which form a major and widespread element of modern organizational computing. We examine the decision-making policies of professional decision-makers. …


The Study Of Antecedents Of Customer Loyalty Towards Established Mobile Service Providers In Malaysia., Nicole Yap Chen Yan 2010 Universiti Malaya

The Study Of Antecedents Of Customer Loyalty Towards Established Mobile Service Providers In Malaysia., Nicole Yap Chen Yan

Student Works (2010-2019)

Despite the high churn rates, the Malaysian telecommunications industry is growing. However, the lack of customer focus in this market has yielded one of the worst customer loyalty levels. The competitiveness of the domestic market has been further intensified with the implementation of mobile network portability (MNP), which has further complicated the issue of customer loyalty, as research has shown that better deals and low switching costs means that satisfied consumers never mind changing service provider. This shows that satisfaction no longer ensures loyalty (Grabowich & Guy, 2007). The purpose of this research is to identify the major antecedents that …
