The Construction Of Theory In Mis Research, Mark T. Dishaw Jan 1998

The Construction Of Theory In Mis Research, Mark T. Dishaw

Journal of International Information Management

As a relatively new academic discipline, MIS has gone through processes of initiation, expansion, and consolidation. During the past two decades, MIS researchers have examined the state of their discipline and have found it "wanting" at times in the area of theory building and development. One important criticism of early MIS research was that it lacked strong theory of its own, and that it was often weakly grounded in theory, if at all. This paper examines the process and significance of theory building with an emphasis on some of the most well known MIS research streams. This paper demonstrates that …


An Examination Of Computer-Use Ethics In Hong Kong And The United States, Anthony M. Townsend, Michael E. Whitman, Anthony R. Hendrickson, Dail Fields Jan 1998

An Examination Of Computer-Use Ethics In Hong Kong And The United States, Anthony M. Townsend, Michael E. Whitman, Anthony R. Hendrickson, Dail Fields

Journal of International Information Management

This study examines differences in individual ethical evaluations of computer-use scenarios between subjects in Hong Kong and the United States in an effort to better understand value differences that may be associated with differences in attitudes toward computer use expectations. Analysis indicates that although Hong Kong subjects generally take a more permissive view of ethical responsibility regarding computer use, they do not necessarily condone violations of ethical behavior. Results are discussed and implications for future research are addressed.


A Contrarian's Twenty Questions, Robert D. Wilson Jan 1998

A Contrarian's Twenty Questions, Robert D. Wilson

Journal of International Information Management

One might begin to think the art of the university is being lost also. Since the traditional university has focused on education as distinct from training, we might consider if this movement toward Web-based courses is consistent with that tradition.

Intermediation On Electronic Markets: The Case Of Java Software Elements, Peter Buxmann, Frank Rose, Wolfgang Konig, Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Journal of International Information Management

This paper provides an introduction to the Java Repository - an intermediary for Java software elements. First, basic concepts for electronic intermediaries are derived from economic theory. Furthermore, the theoretic considerations are applied to the Java Repository and current and future developments of this special intermediary are presented, especially the use and implementation ofEcash to support financial transactions on the Java market.


A Comparative Study Of The Use Of Executive Information Systems Between Korea And The United States, Hung Kook Park, Ki Jung Chun, Joa Sang Lim, Jung Ki Min Jan 1998

A Comparative Study Of The Use Of Executive Information Systems Between Korea And The United States, Hung Kook Park, Ki Jung Chun, Joa Sang Lim, Jung Ki Min

Journal of International Information Management

Since their conception, EIS have been developed and adopted in many firms. The importance of EIS is now increasing with the need of accessing data from many sources under the high-velocity environment. Although many of the Korean firms are now in the process of introducing EIS with the faster growing economy, most research has been conducted on the use of EIS in Western firms. This study aims to explore the current state of EIS usage in Korean firms and make a comparison with that of the United States. Based upon Watson et al. (1992), a questionnaire instrument was constructed. The …


Parallel System Utilization In Weak Link Analysis, Roger Nibler Jan 1998

Parallel System Utilization In Weak Link Analysis, Roger Nibler

Journal of International Information Management

Parallel subsystems within operational systems can improve system reliability, especially in areas of the system which are or may become weak links. The basic modes of operation of parallel systems include backup, operation under exceptional conditions, and functioning on a compare-for-equal basis to facilitate output quality. A parallel system classification scheme is presented as well as a description of a database which ties parallel subsystems to their corresponding operational systems. The database can assist the manager in identifying and analyzing weak links anywhere in the organization to determine where parallel subsystems can best improve overall system reliability.


A Decision Support Model For Management Of Fuzziness In Global Risk Assessment, Mirza Murtaza, Faisal Zeidan Jan 1998

A Decision Support Model For Management Of Fuzziness In Global Risk Assessment, Mirza Murtaza, Faisal Zeidan

Journal of International Information Management

Solving decision-making problems requires efficient handling of uncertainties. This task has been usually performed by means of expert systems which are based on classical logic and, therefore, need special methods such as heuristic approaches, probability theory, possibility theory, and fuzzy theory. The later approach, fuzzy reasoning and logic, offers a more natural way of handling uncertainty since it is similar to human logical reasoning. In this paper, we develop a fuzzy logic model for assessment and prediction of country risk. This fuzzy method provides a systematic approach to analyzing a target country. By its nature, the decision making for global …


Software Piracy: Issues And Perceptions Of Australian University Students, Wallace Wood, Robert Behling, Ana Yang Ang Jan 1998

Software Piracy: Issues And Perceptions Of Australian University Students, Wallace Wood, Robert Behling, Ana Yang Ang

Journal of International Information Management

Software piracy is reported as an ongoing problem for software developers and vendors. Significant revenue is lost when illegal copies of software are utilized, estimated by some to exceed $8 billion per year. Of particular concern are estimates that the problem is increasing, especially in those countries that have lax or no laws to protect intellectual property. Research was conducted to evaluate the attitudes and practices of selected first year Australian university students towards software copying practices. The findings show that respondents were most likely to let someone copy their software to gain favor, and students behave in a more …


Maintaining Computer-Based Information Systems Using Text-Based Intelligent Systems Techniques, Sumali Conlon, Chi Hwang Jan 1998

Maintaining Computer-Based Information Systems Using Text-Based Intelligent Systems Techniques, Sumali Conlon, Chi Hwang

Journal of International Information Management

In order to incorporate up-to-date quantitative and qualitative information, Computer- Based Information Systems (CBIS) must be able to extract data from unstructured, textual formats such as newspapers and magazines. The process of updating information in a CBIS currently requires large amounts of human effort analyzing and converting data from such sources into formats which information systems can work with. This paper suggests some methods by which the data needs of a CBIS can be handled semi-automatically (Employing both computers and humans) using text-based intelligent systems (TBIS) techniques.
