Service Quality Of Mhealth: Development And Validation Of A Hierarchical Model Using Pls, Shahriar Akter, John D'Ambra, Pradeep Ray Dec 2015

Service Quality Of Mhealth: Development And Validation Of A Hierarchical Model Using Pls, Shahriar Akter, John D'Ambra, Pradeep Ray

Shahriar Akter

Advancing research on service quality requires clarifying the theoretical conceptualizations and validating an integrated service quality model. The purpose of this study is to facilitate and elucidate practical issues and decisions related to the development of a hierarchical service quality model in mobile health (mHealth) services research. Conceptually, it extends theory by reframing service quality as a reflective, hierarchical construct and modeling its impact on satisfaction, intention to continue using and quality of life. Empirically, it confirms that PLS path modeling can be used to estimate the parameters of a higher order construct and its association with subsequent consequential latent …


Exploring Loyalty In Mobile Information Services: The Role Of Sound Amusements, Shahriar Akter Dec 2015

Exploring Loyalty In Mobile Information Services: The Role Of Sound Amusements, Shahriar Akter

Shahriar Akter

The aim of this research is to explore consumer loyalty in mobile amusement information services, using a behaviors-atisfaction‐ loyalty framework. Among many different frameworks of satisfaction‐loyalty, we investigated the impact of ‘use behavior’ on ‘satisfaction’ and that of ‘satisfaction’ on ‘loyalty,’ which results in a strong support of the existing model. It confirms that, on both paths, there are significant associations between a latent variable and a measurement variable of stronger amusement element than that of weaker ones. The results show that amusement contains seven types of measurement variables (i.e., E‐mail, SMS, MMS, Music, Ringtones, Video Streaming, Games) which have …

A Systems Analysis Experiential Case Study: Repeatable Real World Problem Solving, Priscilla Arling, C. Deeter, H. Eggers Jun 2010

A Systems Analysis Experiential Case Study: Repeatable Real World Problem Solving, Priscilla Arling, C. Deeter, H. Eggers

Priscilla Arling

Many business schools today are emphasizing experiential education, particularly in undergraduate instruction, where students often have had limited exposure to business settings. While a business problem can be presented in the form of a written case study, real world projects for external clients are increasingly being incorporated into the classroom. However finding suitable clients and projects for multiple student teams each semester can be difficult.


Being There Versus Being Wired: The Effect Of Colocation On Social Capital In Distributed Teams, Priscilla Arling, Mani Subramani May 2010

Being There Versus Being Wired: The Effect Of Colocation On Social Capital In Distributed Teams, Priscilla Arling, Mani Subramani

Priscilla Arling

Advancement in communication technologies continues to fuel the growth of geographically distributed teams. Managers and team members have expressed concerns about negative impacts when individuals work at a distance from each other since such changes in work structure can affect social interactions among individuals in teams. The social relationships, shared experiences, and ongoing interpersonal interactions that often arise from colocation are recognized as contributing to the social capital of individuals. In this paper, we examine how working in a distributed team, a feature that influences the extent to which team members are colocated, affects the level of individual social capital. …

Trading Life: Dr Bruce Vanstone, Steve Flory

Bruce Vanstone

Extract:

For many traders, academics are a nuisance! They seem to write endless articles confirming things like the Efficient Market Hypothesis; articles that generally end up concluding that successful traders are just lucky, and that the luck they are experiencing will probably be short-lived. I also had this opinion of academics when I first got involved in trading. However, I came to realise that the apparent mismatch between academics and traders represents a real opportunity.

Wireless Insecurity: Examining User Security Behavior On Public Networks, Tim Chenoweth, Robert Minch, Sharon Tabor Jan 2010

Wireless Insecurity: Examining User Security Behavior On Public Networks, Tim Chenoweth, Robert Minch, Sharon Tabor

Robert P. Minch

Wireless access points are increasingly serving as entry points to the Internet, increasing connectivity options and security concerns. Particularly significant are public access points, commonly known as hotspots, which are often located in heavily populated areas such as airports, coffee shops, and hotels, appealing to both business and casual users, but offering little or no security.


Influence Of Structure Parameters On The Information Diffusion Process In Virtual Networks, Sascha Vitzthum Jan 2010

Influence Of Structure Parameters On The Information Diffusion Process In Virtual Networks, Sascha Vitzthum

Sascha Vitzthum

This paper examines the effects of composition, size and structure of virtual networks on the diffusion of information. The research extends the Axelrod cultural model (ACM), an established theory rooted in political science research, to explain information dissemination among social actors in ICT-enabled virtual networks (Axelrod 1997). The investigation is focused on the impact of network structure parameters and gives insight on how a manipulation of those parameters influences the diffusion of information in virtual networks.

Ontology-Based Information Extraction For Analyzing It Services, Amit Deokar, Sagnika Sen Dec 2009

Ontology-Based Information Extraction For Analyzing It Services, Amit Deokar, Sagnika Sen

Amit Deokar

Service Level Agreements (SLA) for multi-service Information Technology (IT) outsourcing contracts contain vast amounts of textual information. The SLAs provide details about a specific service, Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to measure its performance; as well as process elements, such as activities, events, and resources that are integral in achieving performance goals. However, KPIs and the process elements may be interrelated. The knowledge of such interrelationships is often tacitly present in the SLAs. The aim of our research is to extract this hidden information from IT service contracts and analyze them to empower customers of IT services to make better performance …

End User Training: What We Know, Need To Know, Saurabh Gupta, Robert Bostrom, Mark Huber

Saurabh Gupta

End-User Training (EUT) has enjoyed a rich tradition of research in Information Systems. However, with the growing pace of change in technology and the dynamic nature of business, organizations are spending an increasing amount of money on end-user training. Training methods are also changing with little research to support new approaches. Thus, extensive research is required in the future. To be credible, end-user training research should preserve and build upon the significant literature that exists, both in IS and Education. This paper provides a review of EUT literature focusing on training methods. It summarizes research findings, while pointing out key …
