Blown To Bits Project, David Schmidt Jan 2017

Blown To Bits Project, David Schmidt

Informatics Open Educational Resources

The book, Blown to Bits, uncovers the many ways that the new digital world has changed and is changing our whole environment. Some changes are incremental but others are more revolutionary. Some of the changes that we welcome are slowly eroding our privacy and are changing the rules of ownership. This book illuminates the complexities of these changes. I have attempted to capture the central points in selected chapters, and in some cases I have added new material or new examples to replace dated material. I picked chapters to summarize that address the following topics (and more). There are many …

Combating Infant Mortality In Rural India: Evidence From A Field Study Of Ehealth Kiosk Imlementations, Viswanath Venkatesh, Arun Rai, Tracy Ann Sykes, Ruba Aljafari Jun 2016

Combating Infant Mortality In Rural India: Evidence From A Field Study Of Ehealth Kiosk Imlementations, Viswanath Venkatesh, Arun Rai, Tracy Ann Sykes, Ruba Aljafari

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

The United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals listed high infant mortality rates as a major problem in developing countries, especially in rural areas. Given the powerful information dissemination capabilities, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been suggested as interventions to build infant care awareness and to modify healthcare behaviors. We examine how the use of one ICT intervention—specifically, eHealth kiosks disseminating authenticated and accessible medical information—can alleviate the problem of high infant mortality in rural India. We investigate how mothers’ social networks affect their use of eHealth kiosks, seeking professional medical care for their infants and, ultimately, infant mortality. Drawing on …

Toward Principles Of Construct Clarity: Exploring The Usefulness Of Facet Theory In Guiding Conceptualization, Meng Zhang, Guy Gable, Arun Rai Jan 2016

Toward Principles Of Construct Clarity: Exploring The Usefulness Of Facet Theory In Guiding Conceptualization, Meng Zhang, Guy Gable, Arun Rai

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

Conceptualization in theory development has received limited consideration despite its frequently stressed importance in Information Systems research. This paper focuses on the role of construct clarity in conceptualization, arguing that construct clarity should be considered an essential criterion for evaluating conceptualization and that a focus on construct clarity can advance conceptualization methodology. Drawing from Facet Theory literature, we formulate a set of principles for assessing construct clarity, particularly regarding a construct’s relationships to its extant related constructs. Conscious and targeted attention to this criterion can promote a research ecosystem more supportive of knowledge accumulation.

Fit And Misfit Of Plural Sourcing Strategies And It-Enabled Process Integration Capabilities: Consequences Of Firm Performance In The U.S. Electric Utility Industry, Arun Rai, Ilgaz Arikan, Jessica Pye, Amrit Tiwana Dec 2015

Fit And Misfit Of Plural Sourcing Strategies And It-Enabled Process Integration Capabilities: Consequences Of Firm Performance In The U.S. Electric Utility Industry, Arun Rai, Ilgaz Arikan, Jessica Pye, Amrit Tiwana

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

Recent work has shown that a firm’s plural sourcing strategy, which determines how much it chooses to make versus how much it chooses to buy, requires consideration of the complementarities and constraints that affect the differential advantages of making and buying. Elaborating on this perspective, we theorize how (mis)fit between a firm’s plural sourcing strategy of simultaneously making and buying and its development of information technology (IT) enabled interfirm and intrafirm process integration capabilities influences firm performance in deregulated markets. We position our theory development and empirical tests in the context of the power-generation segment of the U.S. electric utility …

Cross-National Differences In Individual Knowledge-Seeking Patterns: A Climato-Economic Contextualization, Liwei Chen, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, Evert Van De Vliert, Xu Huang Jan 2015

Cross-National Differences In Individual Knowledge-Seeking Patterns: A Climato-Economic Contextualization, Liwei Chen, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, Evert Van De Vliert, Xu Huang

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

Electronic Knowledge Repository (EKR) is one of the most commonly deployed knowledge management technologies, yet its success hinges upon employees’ continued use and is further complicated in today’s multinational context. We integrate multiple theoretical linkages into a research model, conceptualizing knowledge-seeking as an instrumental behavior, adopting the technology acceptance model to characterize the individual-level continued EKR knowledge-seeking behavioral model, and drawing on the climato-economic theory to explain cross-national behavioral differences. Using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), we test the model with data from 1352 randomly sampled knowledge workers across 30 nations. We find that two national-level factors, climate harshness and national …


Innovate With Complex Information Technologies: A Theoretical Model And Empirical Examination, Wei Wang, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, John E. Butler, Sheng-Hsun Hsu Jan 2015

Innovate With Complex Information Technologies: A Theoretical Model And Empirical Examination, Wei Wang, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, John E. Butler, Sheng-Hsun Hsu

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

Complex information technologies (CITs), such as ERP packages, have become the core component of modern organizations. Corporate investments in CITs have soared to a record high. Firms need to creatively apply the technologies in order to adapt to the ever-changing environments and realize the full potential of the technologies. We approach this issue from the perspective of ‘Innovate with IT’, a post-acceptance usage behavior that describes innovative use of information technologies to support individual task performances. Drawing upon the IS Continuance (ISC) model, as well as the managerial and individual factors that facilitate higher level IT use, a …

Why Primary Care Practices Should Become Digital Health Information Hubs For Their Patients, Aaron Baird, Samantha Nowak Nov 2014

Why Primary Care Practices Should Become Digital Health Information Hubs For Their Patients, Aaron Baird, Samantha Nowak

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

Background: Two interesting health care trends are currently occurring: 1) patient-facing technologies, such as personal health records, patient portals, and mobile health apps, are being adopted at rapid rates, and 2) primary care, which includes family practice, is being promoted as essential to reducing health care costs and improving health care outcomes. While these trends are notable and commendable, both remain subject to significant fragmentation and incentive misalignments, which has resulted in significant data coordination and value generation challenges. In particular, patient-facing technologies designed to increase care coordination, often fall prey to the very digital fragmentation issues they are supposed …


The Credibility Crisis In Is: A Global Stakeholder Perspective, Clayton Arlen Looney, David Firth, Hope Koch, Dubravka Cecez-Kecmanovic, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, Christina Soh, Joseph S. Valacich, Edgar Whitley Jan 2014

The Credibility Crisis In Is: A Global Stakeholder Perspective, Clayton Arlen Looney, David Firth, Hope Koch, Dubravka Cecez-Kecmanovic, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, Christina Soh, Joseph S. Valacich, Edgar Whitley

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

The field of information systems (IS) faces a credibility crisis, which threatens its stature as a highly-respected academic discipline (Firth, King, Koch, Looney, Pavlou, and Trauth, 2011; Winter and Butler, 2011; among others). This article summarizes a panel discussion at the ICIS 2011 Conference, where a group of distinguished IS professors offered their unique perspectives on the challenges, origins, and solutions related to the global credibility crisis in IS. Using stakeholder theory as an organizing framework, the panel session identifies the key stakeholders influencing the credibility of the IS discipline, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing IS programs …


Consuming Information Systems: An Economic Model Of User Satisfaction, Heshan Sun, Yulin Fang, J.J. Po-An Hsieh Sep 2013

Consuming Information Systems: An Economic Model Of User Satisfaction, Heshan Sun, Yulin Fang, J.J. Po-An Hsieh

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

This paper has two major objectives. The first objective intends to answer the following question which is of significant interest to information system (IS) researchers and practitioners: How does user satisfaction (satisfaction) respond to changes in system use and system attributes? The second and more ambitious objective is to promote the application of economic theories in user behavior research. In contrast to prior research that conceived the development of user satisfaction as an information valuation and integration process, we consider such development to be embedded in the IS consumption process, that is, users gain utility (satisfaction) from consuming (using) the …


Discovering Unobserved Heterogeneity In Structural Equation Models To Avert Validity Threats, Jan-Michael Becker, Arun Rai, Christian M. Ringle, Franziska Völckner Sep 2013

Discovering Unobserved Heterogeneity In Structural Equation Models To Avert Validity Threats, Jan-Michael Becker, Arun Rai, Christian M. Ringle, Franziska Völckner

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

A large proportion of information systems research is concerned with developing and testing models pertaining to complex cognition, behaviors, and outcomes of individuals, teams, organizations, and other social systems that are involved in the development, implementation, and utilization of information technology. Given the complexity of these social and behavioral phenomena, heterogeneity is likely to exist in the samples used in IS studies. While researchers now routinely address observed heterogeneity by introducing moderators, a priori groupings, and contextual factors in their research models, they have not examined how unobserved heterogeneity may affect their findings. We describe why unobserved heterogeneity threatens different …


The Dynamic Impacts Of Employee Job Motivation On Employee Job Performance And Corporate Customer Satisfaction: The Contingent Role Of Erp System Implementation, Junyi Yang, Anjing Zhao, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, Kimmy Chan Wa Jan 2013

The Dynamic Impacts Of Employee Job Motivation On Employee Job Performance And Corporate Customer Satisfaction: The Contingent Role Of Erp System Implementation, Junyi Yang, Anjing Zhao, J.J. Po-An Hsieh, Kimmy Chan Wa

Computer Information Systems Faculty Publications

Prior research has generally found a significant, positive impact of employees' job motivation on job performance, and which in turn, leads to more satisfied customers. However, little attention is directed towards how implementation of centralized information systems (IS), such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, will affect these relationships in the business to business (B2B) context. Toward this end, we plan to conduct a field study to empirically compare the effects of these relationships before and after the implementation of an ERP system. This cross-disciplinary study will contribute to the extant organization, marketing, and IS literature by examining how a …
