Towards A Domain – Specific Comparative Analysis Of Data Mining Tools, May Oo, Daniel Lozovikas, Ramesh Subramanian
Towards A Domain – Specific Comparative Analysis Of Data Mining Tools, May Oo, Daniel Lozovikas, Ramesh Subramanian
Communications of the IIMA
Advancement in technology has brought in widespread adoption and utilization of data mining tools. Successful implementation of data mining requires a careful assessment of the various data mining tools. Although several works have compared data mining tools based on usability, opensource, integrated data mining tools for statistical analysis, big/small scale, and data visualization, none of them has suggested the tools for various industry-sectors. This paper attempts to provide a comparative study of various data mining tools based on popularity and usage among various industry-sectors such as business, education, and healthcare. The factors used in the comparison are performance and scalability, …

After reviewing the literature, the concept of Business Model or E-Business Models are discussed in Ms paper. Firms keep interacting with each other and build all kinds of relationships among them. Based on the theory of business networks, we put forward a networking-based view of business model analysis frame. When we make decisions to choose one or other business models, first, the source of value should be found. Second, business network models, which show the procedure of value creation and distribution, should be analyzed. Third, we choose the feasible network among networks we analyzed. Finally, the firms' strategy to ensure …

The Business Models Of E-Marketplace, Weijun Zheng
Communications of the IIMA
An electronic marketplace (EM) is an inter-organizational information intermediary that enables participating buyers and sellers to exchange information about price and product offerings and to cooperate on commodity exchange. Prior researches on EM design have not defined EM business model clearly. With a review of existing literatures on business model, this paper developed taxonomy of EM business models and classified existing EMs business model from a network role perspective. Further discussion of the evolution of EM business model is provided at the end.

When Google Meets Xiaomi: Comparative Case Study In Western And Eastern Corporate Management, Yu-Feng Lin Lee
When Google Meets Xiaomi: Comparative Case Study In Western And Eastern Corporate Management, Yu-Feng Lin Lee
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Google Inc. of the West and Xiaomi Inc. of the East are recognized as ‘flat organizations’. They exercise ‘flat management’ in their corporate culture, wherein mid-level management is abridged, leaving the corporate structure less-bureaucratic, top-down-and-less-hierarchical, and more laissez-faire. Using the Confucian criteria of Wu Yu, namely morality (or, virtue), intellectual (or, wisdom), physical ability (or, sportsmanship), groupism (or, cooperation), and aesthetics (or, elegance), this paper assesses managerial philosophy and corporate practice of Google and Xiaomi. It is found that under flat management, although each company nevertheless reveals its corporate idiosyncrasy, they achieve business success and sustainability through adopting small-team orientation, …
A Conflict Resolution Tool For Project Managers: Evaporating Cloud, Mahesh C. Gupta, Sharon A. Kerrick
A Conflict Resolution Tool For Project Managers: Evaporating Cloud, Mahesh C. Gupta, Sharon A. Kerrick
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Today’s ever changing business environment requires managers to interact globally with people across functional areas with conflicting points of view. A preliminary literature review suggests that a generic tool to understand and resolve conflicts is desirable. This paper demonstrates how a theory of constraints-based logical tool, an evaporating cloud, can enable IT managers to better understand conflicts underlying most problems. Using a commonly encountered conflict as an example, we show how this tool verbalizes a problem through the logic of cause and effect, surfaces the assumptions causing the conflicting actions and decisions, and presents injections – potential solutions – that …

Top Management Support, Collective Mindfulness, And Information Systems Performance, Shaji A. Khan, Albert L. Lederer, Dinesh A. Mirchandani
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Mindfulness is a cognitive process that facilitates the discovery and correction of errors that might escalate. This study applies mindfulness theory to examine the impact of top management support for information systems on collective mindfulness, and that of collective mindfulness on IS performance. It treated such mindfulness in five dimensions, and top management support and IS performance as uni-dimensional. Forty-seven chief executive officers responded to a survey asking their perceptions of the constructs. Top management support predicted four of the dimensions with the strongest effect on sensitivity to IS operations. A negative path from support to commitment to IS resilience …
Horizontal Collaborative E-Purchasing For Hospitals: It For Addressing Collaborative Purchasing Impediments, Robbert J. G. Kusters, Johan Versendaal
Horizontal Collaborative E-Purchasing For Hospitals: It For Addressing Collaborative Purchasing Impediments, Robbert J. G. Kusters, Johan Versendaal
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Horizontal collaborative purchasing (HCP) has often been cited as a way for hospitals to address the challenges of the rising healthcare costs. However, hospitals do not seem to utilize horizontal collaborative purchasing on any large scale, and recent initiatives have had mixed results. Focusing on Dutch hospitals, in this paper we present major impediments for collaborative purchasing, resulting in a first component of our proposed electronic horizontal collaborative purchasing model for hospitals; as a second component it contains a collaborative purchasing typology. A first validation round with hospital purchasing professionals, described separately in Kusters and Versendaal (2011), confirmed four applicable …

With increasing market competition and globalization, SMEs have shown interest to deploy ERP package to integrate their business processes.

The Relationship Between Strategic Information Systems Planning Situational Factors, Process Configuration And Success, A. J. Gilbert Silvius, Jeroen Stoop
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This paper reports a study into the relationship between the configuration of the process of Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) and the success of SISP. SISP is an important activity in the alignment of information technology systems and services to business requirements. However, despite the obvious importance of a proper planning of information technology and information systems in organizations, success of SISP is not evident. And as the success of SISP is also influenced by the process followed in developing the SISP, the research question for this study was, “How does the configuration of the SISP process influence the success …

A Conceptual Framework For E-Commerce Innovation In Chinese Smes Chun-Sheng Yu, Chun-Sheng Yu, Xue-Bing Dong
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
As E-Commerce (EC) is rapidly gaining popularity in China, EC innovation becomes a major growth strategy for many SMEs. Meanwhile, problems and challenges are hindering proliferation of EC innovation. The need exits for a theoretical model to forge EC innovation: a dynamic process with progressive stages of both internal and external e-readiness. Derived from theories and evidenced by the case studies from Hangzhou, China, our conceptual framework reveals top management, organizational learning, government support, market forces, and technology readiness as essential in each development stage, but with different emphasis. Implications of the framework are discussed.

Creativity, Coordination & Knowledge Co-Creation On A Global Scale- The Process Perspective, Olivera Marjanovic, Narcyz Roztocki
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
In very recent times new tools and technologies for peer-to-peer collaboration and coordination became easily and readily available taking knowledge creation processes outside of the organizational boundaries. This paper proposes to extend the existing boundaries of Business Process Management (BPM) to include an emerging category of processes; here termed Global Knowledge-Intensive Business Processes (GKIBP). These processes differ from other global processes, such as supply chains and collaborative cross-organizational business processes (BPs), as their main outcome is a commercial knowledge artifact, co-created trough coordinated activities of knowledge agents, that may or may not come from an organizational setting. Drawing from, and …
