Role Of Mobile Technologies In Diabetes Self Management: Technology Affordance Persepctive, Ramakrishna Dantu
Role Of Mobile Technologies In Diabetes Self Management: Technology Affordance Persepctive, Ramakrishna Dantu

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
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 …
