Explaining Variation In Adoption Of Organizational Innovation: A Social Network Approach, Pooria Assadi
Explaining Variation In Adoption Of Organizational Innovation: A Social Network Approach, Pooria Assadi
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This article draws from the social network theory and examines how a social network approach can contribute to our understanding of the variation in the adoption of innovative, organization-wide information systems that can help businesses achieve sustainable competitive advantage. It highlights how the extant explanations for the adoption of information systems are limited in the way that they primarily assume organizations make innovation adoption decisions in isolation. It does so by building on growing research which recognizes that organizations are not isolated from one another; rather, they are interrelated through their inter-organizational networks which provide unique learning opportunities that are …

Editorial Board Memberships: A Report On The Status Of The Leading Information Systems Journals, Erastus Karanja, Alisha D. Malloy
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Research journals play a significant role in the generation, dissemination, and sharing of knowledge in an academic discipline. To a great extent, the editorial board members of these research journals manage and control the generation, dissemination, and sharing of knowledge. They also act as policymakers, gatekeepers, and trendsetters. In their latter roles, editorial board members can influence several factors in a discipline; namely, the research topics, the research methods, the research scope, and whose articles are published. The primary goal of this study is to investigate and report on the status of the editorial boards memberships in a set of …

Higher Education Advertising Expenditures’ Impact On The Key Performance Indicator Of New Enrollments Using Information Systems And Business Analytics, Alison Munsch Phd, Charles Cante Phd, Jason Diffenderfer Ma., M.S.
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
The impact of advertising expenditures on student enrollments has not been explored extensively in the literature. The higher education sector demonstrated an increase in paid advertising but soft overall higher education enrollments recently. This research explored the relationship between advertising expenditures in higher education and new enrollments using information systems and business analytics. Results indicate a weak association between advertising expenditures in higher education and the key performance indicator of new student enrollments. A contribution of this study is to the media planning function and users of information systems and analytic techniques for actionable insights.

A Normative Model For Assessing Sme It Effectiveness, Michael Curry, Byron Marshall, Peter Kawalek
Communications of the IIMA
Information technology (IT) is a key enabler of modern small businesses, yet fostering reliably effective IT systems remains a significant challenge. This paper presents a light weight IT effectiveness model for small businesses to assess their IT and formulate strategies for improvement. Employing an action research approach we investigate a mixed method analysis of 120 survey responses from small family businesses and user participation in 10 semi-structured interviews. We then conduct critical reflection to identify refinements which are validated using 72 survey responses from university students. The results present compelling evidence that employees’ normative patterns (norms) are a significant driver …
Use Of Expert Systems In Harmonizing International Accounting Reports, Mohammad S. Bazaz, Ravi Parameswaran
Use Of Expert Systems In Harmonizing International Accounting Reports, Mohammad S. Bazaz, Ravi Parameswaran
Journal of International Information Management
A significant problem in international accounting is the presence of a variety of accounting and disclosure standards that have been adopted by various countries as they match their national information needs to specific formats. Efforts at harmonization of world-wide financial statements have been less than successful. The needs in the 1990s suggest the need for an expedient solution to this problem. The current paper addresses this problem and suggests an information systems approach—a new approach—namely the development of an expert system which would be capable of translating disclosure in a particular country standard to one that meets internationally acceptable accounting …

Software Project Management - There Is Never Enough Time To Do It Right!, Brian Mcnamara, James Uigen, John Tarjan
Journal of International Information Management
Efficiency in software development projects is examined. Project management tools— GANTT charts, program evaluation and review technique (PERT), and critical path method (CPM) are defined and discussed. Of these productivity tools GANTT charts and PERT are the most relevant. Based on an analysis by Shelmerdine (1989), six steps that pro\ide guidelines for software development are presented. These steps provide the project manager with an opportunity to produce efficiency and deliver a software development project on time. Selected project management software packages are presented.
