Exploring Stakeholders' Expectations Of The Benefits And Barriers Of E-Government Knowledge Sharing, Jing Zhang, Sharon S. Dawes, Joseph Sarkis

School of Business

Purpose - The issue of varying stakeholder expectations has significant implications for successful enterprise information system implementation. This issue becomes more prevalent in e-government situations where a variety of stakeholders are influenced by inter-organizational knowledge sharing. This paper presents an exploratory investigation of the diverging and converging expectations of various stakeholders at the initiation of e-government projects with regard to the benefits of and barriers to interorganizational knowledge sharing. Design/methodology/approach - Survey data were collected from seven cases within the New York State (NYS) government setting. We identified two sets of stakeholder groupings in this paper; core/key project participants and …

National economic conditions will continue to favor growth over the next three years. Increased business investment will combine with rising industrial production, expanding exports, and moderate increases in consumer spending to grow the economy. The rate of inflation is expected to increase as well. The rate of real (inflation-adjusted) growth will moderate compared to strong economic growth during 2004. Real gross domestic product will grow 3 percent to 3.5 percent over the next three years. High oil prices will remain a drain on the economy, siphoning spending from domestically produced goods and services. Fuel prices are expected to remain at …

Statistical Process Control For The Engineering It Support Incident Life Cycle, Binay Anand, Christopher A. Chung Jan 2005

Statistical Process Control For The Engineering It Support Incident Life Cycle, Binay Anand, Christopher A. Chung

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

This paper describes a new Statistical Process Control technique to better manage the engineering Information Technology life cycle process. This includes the identification of the activities in the engineering IT support lifecycle initiation, reproduction, analysis and resolution phases. The performance of these lifecycle activities are analyzed using a highly modified Chart of Individuals, Statistical Process Control approach. This new type of SPC system can help engineering IT management to determine whether or not a support incident is in control. Out of control support incidents can then be investigated for special causes so that corrective action may be taken.
