Behavioral Aspects In Operational Decisions. Applied Factor Investigations On The Micro (Individual) And Meso (Cluster) Levels, Lyudmyla Starostyuk
Behavioral Aspects In Operational Decisions. Applied Factor Investigations On The Micro (Individual) And Meso (Cluster) Levels, Lyudmyla Starostyuk
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
Normative theoretical models in operations management have been widely utilized by businesses and scientists to explain multiple phenomena. They assume that operating systems are managed by fully rational decision-makers who always choose the most profitable solution. However, decision-makers are human beings with behavioral and cognitive biases which influence their choices. In this thesis we argue that a change in the social and operating environments explains the choice deviation from the normative theoretical predictions. We present three independent studies of behavioral patterns on the individual and cluster levels. In the first study we observe the effect of human faces on the …

Task-Representation Fit’S Impact On Cognitive Effort In The Context Of Decision Timeliness And Accuracy: A Cognitive Fit Perspective, Dinko Bacic, Raymond M. Henry
Task-Representation Fit’S Impact On Cognitive Effort In The Context Of Decision Timeliness And Accuracy: A Cognitive Fit Perspective, Dinko Bacic, Raymond M. Henry
Business Faculty Publications
Cognitive fit theory (CFT) has emerged as a dominant theoretical lens to explain decision performance when using data representations to solve decision making tasks. Despite the apparent consensus regarding cognitive effort's theoretical criticality in CFT-based research, researchers have made limited attempts to evaluate and empirically measure cognitive effort and its impact. Unlike prior CFT-based literature that has theorized only the role of cognitive effort, in our empirical study, we presented information and tasks to 68 participants and directly measured cognitive effort to understand how cognitive fit impacts it and how it impacts decision performance. We found that 1) cognitive fit …

Technology Increases Efficiency In The Workplace, But Often Creates Chaos In The Process, Kathleen Merz Prester
Information Systems & Operations Management Theses
There is a multitude of technology solutions used in the typical workplace, aimed at increasing efficiency, but often chaos is created in the process. Can this chaos be reduced or eliminated? This paper seeks to answer that question. Specific technologies used in workplace environments and how they are implemented, including deployment, project management, and end-user involvement are dissected for a common thread. Underestimating the importance of communication is the common thread identified when chaos follows the implementation of new technology. The end-user requires constant communication before, during, and after the implementation process, whether the news is good or bad. Without …

Role Of Mobile Technologies In Diabetes Self Management: Technology Affordance Persepctive, Ramakrishna Dantu
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
Diabetes is costly and a leading cause of death and disability in the United States (CDC, 2015). There is no known cure for the disease, however, it can be managed and controlled through self-management. This process involves patients managing a complex set of distinct but related tasks including, but not limited to, monitoring health conditions, tracking medication dosages, food intake, physical activities, complying with treatment regimens, and solving problems that may arise due to illness (Clark et al., 1991; Hill-Briggs, 2003). In recent years, mobile apps and devices (henceforth labeled mobile technologies) have emerged as a promising means to help …
Mobile Way Or The Highway! The Role Of Deployment And Design In Problem Solving Using Information Dashboards, Ganapathiraman Raghu Raman
Mobile Way Or The Highway! The Role Of Deployment And Design In Problem Solving Using Information Dashboards, Ganapathiraman Raghu Raman
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
Information dashboards are becoming very popular in the areas of decision making and problem solving. Decision makers use heuristics when facing challenging environmental situations. These could result in systematic errors called biases. How do mobile information dashboards impact these biases? We propose that decision makers are more prone to biases associated with certain heuristics when using information dashboards deployed on mobile devices. Data visualizations on dashboards could be distorted. We also propose that employment of heuristics could increase the negative effect of distortions. There is a distinct bias in favor of deploying these dashboards on mobile versus static desktops. Is …
Effects Of Diagrammatic Representation On Software Evolution Programming Performance—An Experimental Investigation Of Uml Diagrams, Lulu Zhang
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
The fundamental question of the present study is to investigate whether fit between representation and task type matters while developing software. The UML (Unified Modeling Language) includes diagrams that allow developers to represent software artifacts at different levels of abstraction. These diagrams facilitate design, specification, and testing during the software development life circle. However, they are expensive and difficult artifacts to maintain because of the l time pressure that developers in the software industry typically experience. The present study hypothesizes that the selective usage of diagrammatic representations would justify the cost of maintaining these representations. Student subjects participated in controlled …

Investigation Of Supply Chain Governance Mechanisms And Assessing Their Effect On Supply Chain Performance In The Manufacturing Industry, Nisha Paul Kulangara
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
With the increasing level of globalization in manufacturing, it is becoming increasingly pertinent to monitor the execution of contractual agreements between buyers and suppliers. These monitoring mechanisms are essential to mitigate risks associated with measurement difficulty, behavioral uncertainty, and environmental uncertainty. Drawing from transaction cost theory and resource dependence theory, this study illustrates frequently applied formal and relational governance mechanisms to ensure a successful supply chain partnership and its effects on various performance measures such as supply chain and innovation performance. Most firms go through three stages of a relationship, namely-contact, contract, and control (Greenberg, Greenberg, and Antonucci, 2012). Once …
Managing Risk And Uncertainty In Supply Chains In The Face Of The Current Global Realities, Gurkan Ibrahim Akalin
Managing Risk And Uncertainty In Supply Chains In The Face Of The Current Global Realities, Gurkan Ibrahim Akalin
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
For the last two decades, there has been an increasing academic and practitioner interest in understanding uncertainty and risks, identifying their sources, and managing, reducing and mitigating them in supply chains (SCs). Many sources of risk are already identified and grouped, and some good methods to reduce or cope with them have been described as well. However, literature has not been profound yet. Indeed, certain types of risk sources lack practical definitions and/or effective management techniques (Prater, 2005; Simangunsong et al., 2012). The financial crises of national economies in the late 2000s followed by a global recession (2008-2012) have escalated …
An Investigation Into The Efficacy Of Mind Maps In Software Development Among Individuals And Pairs, Philip L. Bond
An Investigation Into The Efficacy Of Mind Maps In Software Development Among Individuals And Pairs, Philip L. Bond
Information Systems & Operations Management Theses
Software development is a cognitively demanding endeavor in which the creation and exchange of knowledge is paramount. Collaborative development, particularly pair programming, has been more advocated and adopted recently by practitioners. However, empirical studies have not categorically established the efficacy of pairs vis-à-vis individuals in software design contexts. In fact, recent findings suggest that pairs seldom outperform best individuals although they tend to do better than average individuals. Group losses arising from lack of coordination and/or communication could be a plausible explanation for this. The extant literature suggests that Mind Maps have the potential to graphically capture concepts and their …
Data Visualization In Exploratory Data Analysis: An Overview Of Methods And Technologies, Yingsen Mao
Data Visualization In Exploratory Data Analysis: An Overview Of Methods And Technologies, Yingsen Mao
Information Systems & Operations Management Theses
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) refers to an iterative process through which analysts constantly ‘ask questions’ and extract knowledge from data. EDA is becoming more and more important for modern data analysis, such as business analytics and business intelligence, as it greatly relaxes the statistical assumption required by its counterpart—confirmation data analysis (CDA), and involves analysts directly in the data mining process. However, exploratory visual analysis, as the central part of EDA, requires heavy data manipulations and tedious visual specifications, which might impede the EDA process if the analyst has no guidelines to follow. In this paper, we present a framework …

Knowledge Management: Integrating Social Networking Technologies And A Generative Learning Environment, Priscilla Arling, Mark Chun, B. Mcquaid
Priscilla Arling
Social networking technologies have commanded a lot of recent attention because they have changed the manner in which individuals have traditionally and historically accessed and shared knowledge. Although these technologies provide individuals with the opportunity to access and to utilize a plethora of knowledge created by others, the knowledge still needs to be organized, interpreted, and incorporated by the user in order for it to be useful. This research sought to better understand how social networking technologies can aid a firm's efforts to establish a knowledge management and a generative learning environment. The study closely followed one of the United …

The purpose of this study is to identify and comparatively assess the quality of information security specific publishing venues. Past studies in information systems and computer science have shown that information security-focused research can be published in mainstream information systems- and computer science-centric periodicals; however no studies to date have been found that specifically compared venues focused primarily on information security. Therefore the results of this study, when combined with assessments of publishing venues from those disciplines, can provide a more comprehensive perspective on publishing opportunities for academic authors in information security. Faculty members seeking research recognition should strive to …
Disruption Of Information Technology Projects: The Reactive Decoupling Of Project Management Methodologies, Kurt W. Schmitz
Disruption Of Information Technology Projects: The Reactive Decoupling Of Project Management Methodologies, Kurt W. Schmitz
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
Information Technology projects have migrated toward two dominant Project Management (PM) methodologies. Plan-driven practices provide organizational control through highly structured plans, schedules, and specifications that facilitate oversight by hierarchical bureaucracies. In contrast, agile practices emphasize empowered teams using flexible methods aligned to organizational values reinforced by cultural controls and rituals. While project teams mix and combine practices from both traditions, a stylistic bias remains in the initial project management practices established at the onset of IT projects. A review of existing literature on IT project management serve as a filter on the stylistic biases of these dominant PM paradigms that …
Matching Inventory Replenishment Heuristics To Demand Patterns: A Cost/Benefit Approach, Randall A. Napier
Matching Inventory Replenishment Heuristics To Demand Patterns: A Cost/Benefit Approach, Randall A. Napier
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
Behavioral research indicates that bounded rationality and resource constraints support the use of "fast and frugal heuristics" that intentionally exclude some available information from decision models. Inventory replenishment decisions must be made quickly and efficiently, and as such are a promising realm for the use of fast and frugal heuristics. This research includes a simulation study to identify significant relationships among heuristics and demand patterns, yielding inferences regarding the advantages of selecting replenishment models to match demand patterns. Findings from the simulation are validated against three years of actual usage data for 278 independent demand items from a single industrial …
