Harnessing The Power Of Gold, Christopher Hunt Sep 2018

Harnessing The Power Of Gold, Christopher Hunt

Academic Leadership Academy

Consistent branding at WMU has been the topic of many on-campus discussions in 2017. The Strategic Management Executive Council (SMEC) identified brand and communication consistency and continuity as a risk priority. As part of that risk assessment, a Collaborative Risk/Opportunity Management (CRŌM) team has been assigned to evaluate the following issues: •Many units are still not aligning with established brand messages and design guidelines, diffusing marketing efforts. •Lacking clear voice for the University. •Internal communication occurs in silos, so people do not get the full picture; especially a problem with part-time staff and faculty, impacting overall staff morale. •Under-empowered University …

Digital Fluency: Necessary Competence For Teaching And Learning In Connected Classrooms, Agnes Chigona Sep 2018

Digital Fluency: Necessary Competence For Teaching And Learning In Connected Classrooms, Agnes Chigona

The African Journal of Information Systems

Educators’ digital fluency has been noted as one of the most important skill required for effective curriculum delivery in connected classrooms. Research and anecdotal evidence show that even though many Western Cape classrooms have internet connectivity, many of the educators are unable to take advantage of the connectivity for teaching and learning. Hence, this paper focuses on the educators’ digital fluency as a necessary competence for effective curriculum delivery in connected classrooms. The study was done qualitatively. Randomly selected educators from public schools participated in the one-on-one and focus group interviews. Results show that most educators perceive their digital fluency …

Understanding The Kenya Open Data Initiative Trajectory Based On Callon’S Moments Of Translation, Paul Wando Mungai Dr, Jean-Paul Van Belle Prof.

The African Journal of Information Systems

This study seeks to understand the existing interactions between actors of the Kenya Open Data Initiative (KODI), and how the actors’ interests are aligning to achieve openness and transparency of government operations.

Developing And Validating Measurement Items For A Multi-Dimensional Social Network Site Usage Construct, Nugi Nkwe Sep 2018

Developing And Validating Measurement Items For A Multi-Dimensional Social Network Site Usage Construct, Nugi Nkwe

The African Journal of Information Systems

SNS platforms are providing simultaneously for hedonic and utilitarian type uses. However, extant research continues to model the SNS usage construct as a simplistic unidimensional construct that fails to adequately reflect the multi-dimensional nature of SNS usage in workplace contexts. This paper contributes by presenting results of a multi-phase process used to develop and validate measures of the deep structure SNS usage construct from both hedonic and utilitarian perspectives. Psychometric tests were conducted using 124 usable responses, and the results show that deep structure usage is best modelled as a reflective second order construct with three first order dimensions reflecting …


Collaboration Circles: Empowering Job Seekers To Find Work Using Ad-Hoc Collaboration Networks, Lindani Castro Khanyile, Marijke Coetzee Sep 2018

Collaboration Circles: Empowering Job Seekers To Find Work Using Ad-Hoc Collaboration Networks, Lindani Castro Khanyile, Marijke Coetzee

The African Journal of Information Systems

Recent trends combine smart phones with social networking platforms to bring new opportunities that can enable people to collaborate anywhere and at any time. For example, organisations can be given the opportunity to recruit part-time job seekers such as software developers using social media tools. Previously, collaboration was static in nature, but today loosely enabled collaboration needs to support flexible schedules, ad hoc processes and members that may not be known in advance. Furthermore, current crowdsourcing platforms that enable software developers to contribute their skills to projects do not meet the social needs of participants as they collaborate. This paper …


Awareness And Preparedness Of It Managers To Digital Disruption: A South African Exploratory Case Study, Mark Prevost, Kevin Allan Johnston Prof, Maureen C. Tanner Sep 2018

Awareness And Preparedness Of It Managers To Digital Disruption: A South African Exploratory Case Study, Mark Prevost, Kevin Allan Johnston Prof, Maureen C. Tanner

The African Journal of Information Systems

Digital disruption is breaking down long established business models. In most organisations, IT managers are charged with management of technology-enabled change. It is therefore important that IT managers understand the opportunities and challenges posed by digital disruption to aid the organisation's response. The purpose of this study was to explore what South African IT managers perceive, and what their responses (or planned responses) to digital disruption within the context of a financial services organisation are. The study is interpretive, exploratory and qualitative, drawing from situational awareness theory to ground the participants’ perception of digital disruption. The study draws on Disruptive …


An Organizational Communication Approach To Information Security, Kofi Arhin, Gamel O. Wiredu Sep 2018

An Organizational Communication Approach To Information Security, Kofi Arhin, Gamel O. Wiredu

The African Journal of Information Systems

Organizations thrive on efficient information management systems as they support activities. Hence, these systems need to be protected from attacks that threaten their existence and use. Although non-technical information security ideas have been espoused by researchers, they have excluded the role of organizational communication. As such, this study explains information security from an organizational communication perspective. Drawing upon a framework of discourse and organizational change, we analyze an empirical case of how information security in an organization is implicated by communicative actions, deep structures, and communication traits. The analysis reveals that (1) prevention of security breaches is achieved by structures …
