Business Process Management: Helping Organizations Remain Competitive, Kevin P. Duffy, Jeremy Humble Dec 2010

Business Process Management: Helping Organizations Remain Competitive, Kevin P. Duffy, Jeremy Humble

ISSCM Faculty Publications

Business process management involves the examination of business processes in organizations, in order to make them more effective and efficient. BPM changes the focus of analysis from the organization as a whole to the organizational process. A process is a series of steps that lead to an outcome and may be simple or complex, depending on the type and number of steps involved. A process within an organization by which the company either introduces new products or refreshes old ones with new features, thus providing the market with new product offerings.


Learning Computational Thinking From Rapid Digital Game Creation, Praveen Kuruvada, Daniel Asamoah, Nikunj Dalal, Subhash Kak Nov 2010

Learning Computational Thinking From Rapid Digital Game Creation, Praveen Kuruvada, Daniel Asamoah, Nikunj Dalal, Subhash Kak

ISSCM Faculty Publications

Computational Thinking (CT) has been described as a universally applicable ability such as reading and writing. In this paper, we describe an innovative pedagogy using Rapid Digital Game Creation (RDGC) for learning CT skills. RDGC involves the rapid building of digital games with high-level software that requires little or no programming knowledge. We analyze how RDGC supports various CT concepts and how it may be mapped to equivalent Java concepts by building the same game using both RDGC and Java. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach for attracting computing majors, as a precursor to learning formal programming languages, …


Choosing Management Information Systems As A Major: Understanding The Smifactors For Mis, Thomas W. Ferratt, Stephen R. Hall, Jayesh Prasad, Donald E. Wynn Aug 2010

Choosing Management Information Systems As A Major: Understanding The Smifactors For Mis, Thomas W. Ferratt, Stephen R. Hall, Jayesh Prasad, Donald E. Wynn

MIS/OM/DS Faculty Publications

Given declining management information systems (MIS) enrollments at our university, we seek to understand our students‘ selection of a major. Prior studies have found that students choose a major based on a number of factors, with subject matter interest consistently being most important. We contribute to the literature by developing a deeper understanding of what is meant by subject matter interest, which we refer to as smiFactors, for MIS as a major and career. Based on a qualitative analysis of open-ended survey questions completed by undergraduate business students, we confirm a number of smiFactors for MIS gleaned from recent studies …

Re-Solving Stochastic Programming Models For Airline Revenue Management, Lijian Chen, Tito Homem-De-Mello Jun 2010

Re-Solving Stochastic Programming Models For Airline Revenue Management, Lijian Chen, Tito Homem-De-Mello

MIS/OM/DS Faculty Publications

We study some mathematical programming formulations for the origin-destination model in airline revenue management. In particular, we focus on the traditional probabilistic model proposed in the literature. The approach we study consists of solving a sequence of two-stage stochastic programs with simple recourse, which can be viewed as an approximation to a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation to the seat allocation problem. Our theoretical results show that the proposed approximation is robust, in the sense that solving more successive two-stage programs can never worsen the expected revenue obtained with the corresponding allocation policy. Although intuitive, such a property is known not …


Capacity-Driven Pricing Mechanism In Special Service Industries, Lijian Chen, Suraj M. Alexander May 2010

Capacity-Driven Pricing Mechanism In Special Service Industries, Lijian Chen, Suraj M. Alexander

MIS/OM/DS Faculty Publications

We propose a capacity driven pricing mechanism for several service industries in which the customer behavior, the price demand relationship, and the competition are significantly distinct from other industries. According our observation, we found that the price demand relationship in these industries cannot be modeled by fitted curves; the customers would neither plan in advance nor purchase the service strategically; and the competition would be largely local. We analyze both risk neutral and risk aversion pricing models and conclude the proposed capacity driven model would be the optimal solution under mild assumptions. The resulting pricing mechanism has been implemented at …

New Start-Up Company Makes Parking A Whole Lot Smarter!, Arijit Sengupta

ISSCM Faculty Publications

Whether it’s parking at a major event, or just getting into campus, one of the biggest headaches of our daily routines comes from the commute, and sometimes the hardest part is what comes in the end – finding a parking spot. SmartRF Solutions, a new startup company founded by Dr. Arijit Sengupta and his business partner, provides custom solutions for AVI enabled parking systems, starting from basic access control systems to complex end-to-end systems for large parking chains.


Implementation Success Of Clinician Information Systems In Healthcare Contexts, Vijay Raghavan, Xiaoni Zhang, Anand Jeyaraj Jan 2010

Implementation Success Of Clinician Information Systems In Healthcare Contexts, Vijay Raghavan, Xiaoni Zhang, Anand Jeyaraj

ISSCM Faculty Publications

The success of information systems in healthcare contexts is becoming increasingly important as the healthcare profession continues to adopt information systems for its internal operations. Using the DeLone and McLean model of information systems success that has found traction in a variety of research contexts, we develop a model for examining the success of clinician information systems. Our research model, while grounded in prior literature on information systems success, also benefits from insights gained from preliminary interviews and surveys of healthcare professionals and clinicians. The pilot round of data collection is planned for next month and actual data collection for …
