Technology Adoption In Complex Systems, Saurabh Gupta, Elena Karahanna Feb 2012

Technology Adoption In Complex Systems, Saurabh Gupta, Elena Karahanna

Saurabh Gupta

Adoption of information technology remains an important consideration in IS research. With the growing number of complex systems being implemented within the organizations, there also exists a need to understand these systems, their adoption and post adoption behavior. This study focuses on these issues. We develop a description of complex technologies. Subsequently we extended the technology acceptance model to include perceived risk of use, as a new construct in the nomological network leading to, post-adoptive exploration of complex technologies.

A Research Framework For Collaborative Elearning In An End User Training Context, Saurabh Gupta, Robert P. Bostrom Feb 2012

A Research Framework For Collaborative Elearning In An End User Training Context, Saurabh Gupta, Robert P. Bostrom

Saurabh Gupta

The growth in the application of information technology to end-user training (EUT) underscores a fundamental need to understand how these e-learning technologies improve the learning process. Results from the limited EUT studies provide an inconsistent picture of the effects of e-learning technologies. Also, collaborative learning has become one of the most used techniques in American education, yet, we could find only one EUT study on collaborative learning. This paper applies adaptive structuration theory (AST) to the specific area of technology-mediated end-user training. The main focus is on understanding learning, collaboration and technology structures involved, their interactions and appropriation, and their …

A Meta-Theory For Understanding Systems Within Socio-Technical Systems, Robert Bostrom, Saurabh Gupta, Dominic Thomas Dec 2008

A Meta-Theory For Understanding Systems Within Socio-Technical Systems, Robert Bostrom, Saurabh Gupta, Dominic Thomas

Saurabh Gupta

Information systems (IS) research often attempts to examine and explain how technology leads to outcomes through usage of IS. Although extensive research in this area has resulted in a significant number of theories, limited work has been done on integrating these theories. This paper presents adaptive structuration theory (AST) as a meta-theory for examining IS within an organizational context. The two main contributions of the paper are an understanding of meta-theory’s role in IS and building a case for using AST as a meta-theory to (1) provide an overarching perspective for understanding and integrating existing literature and theories, (2) provide …


A Meta Theory For Understanding Is In Socio-Technical Systems, Dominic Thomas, Saurabh Gupta, Robert Bostrom Dec 2007

A Meta Theory For Understanding Is In Socio-Technical Systems, Dominic Thomas, Saurabh Gupta, Robert Bostrom

Saurabh Gupta

Information systems (IS) research often attempts to examine and explain how technology leads to outcomes through usage of information technology (IT). Although extensive research in this area has resulted in a significant number of theories, limited work has been done on integrating these theories. This paper presents adaptive structuration theory (AST) as a meta-theory for examining IS within a socio-technical systems (STS) context. Two main contributions are: 1) an understanding of meta-theory and how it fits with other meta-studies and 2) applying AST as a meta-theory to: A) achieve deeper domain understanding, B) provide an overarching perspective for reviewing literature …

Using Peer-To-Peer Technology For Collaborative Knowledge Management: Applications And Research Issues, Saurabh Gupta, Robert Bostrom Dec 2005

Using Peer-To-Peer Technology For Collaborative Knowledge Management: Applications And Research Issues, Saurabh Gupta, Robert Bostrom

Saurabh Gupta

As organizations struggle with how to develop and use their inherent expertise, the importance of knowledge management and collaboration has grown in both academic and practitioner communities. This paper outlines a new concept of collaborative knowledge management (CKM), which bridges the two fields. Drawing from literature, we present a conceptual framework for understanding the concepts underlying CKM. Next, this paper explores how a new technology, peer-to-peer (P2P), fits in the CKM paradigm. A discussion on P2P tools and a comparison of these tools with client server tools for enabling the CKM process is presented. P2P has great appeal for CKM …

Theoretical Model For Investigating The Impact Of Knowledge Portals On Different Levels Of Knowledge Processing, Saurabh Gupta, Robert Bostrom Dec 2004

Theoretical Model For Investigating The Impact Of Knowledge Portals On Different Levels Of Knowledge Processing, Saurabh Gupta, Robert Bostrom

Saurabh Gupta

Much of the research in the area of Knowledge Management (KM) has been at the individual level. However, KM literature argues for knowledge processing capacity at an organisational level to enhance organisational performance. This paper argues that there are additional levels of knowledge processing that need to be studied such as teams and communities of practice. The paper presents a theoretical model for investigating the impact of knowledge systems on different levels of and inter-level knowledge processing. Knowledge portals are used as an example of a KM system that facilitates knowledge flows. A framework for classification of portals is presented. …
