Teaching The Foundations Of Data Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Daniel Asamoah, Derek Doran, Shu Z. Schiller

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

The astronomical growth of data has necessitated the need for educating well-qualified data scientists to derive deep insights from large and complex data sets generated by organizations. In this paper, we present our interdisciplinary approach and experiences in teaching a Data Science course, the first of its kind offered at the Wright State University. Two faculty members from the Management Information Systems (MIS) and Computer Science (CS) departments designed and co-taught the course with perspectives from their previous research and teaching experiences. Students in the class had mix backgrounds with mainly MIS and CS majors. Students' learning outcomes and post …

Information Technology Impacts On Firm Performance: An Extension Of Kohli And Devaraj (2003), Anand Jeyaraj, Rajiv Sabherwal

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Despite the importance of investing in information technology, research on business value of information technology (BVIT) shows contradictory results, raising questions about the reasons for divergence. Kohli and Devaraj (2003) provided valuable insights into this issue based on a meta-analysis of 66 BVIT studies. This paper extends Kohli and Devaraj by examining the influences on BVIT through a meta-analysis of 303 studies published between 1990 and 2013. We found that BVIT increases when the study does not consider IT investment, does not use profitability measure of value, and employs primary data sources, fewer IT-related antecedents, and larger sample size. Considerations …

Maximize The Value Of Capstone Projects For Your Company, Donald H. Hopkins Jr., Valerie Stueland

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Traditionally, graduate programs (as well as some undergraduate programs) relied on a thesis as means for the student to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts presented to them during the course of the program. In many cases, the thesis was considered an academic deliverable and did not relate directly to the student’s work environment. A more practical approach to validating the student’s ability to demonstrate the new skills and knowledge acquired during the program is the evolution of the capstone project.

Organizational Engagement With Supply Chain Integration: Achieving A Tangible Strategy, Anand Jeyaraj, Kevin P. Duffy, Berkwood M. Farmer, Vikram Sethi

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Although supply chain management and supply chain integration have become topics found within today’s organization as well as topics for researchers from various disciplines, little research has been completed concerning the linkage between business strategy, supply chain strategy, and the resulting decision which an organization makes to enter into an integration initiative. This paper discusses the experience of one organization in formulating a supply chain strategy consistent with its business strategy. The paper concludes with key elements driving the supply chain which emerge from this linkage, a framework for determining the importance of the supply chain to the organization, and …

Retooling For Success: A Case Study Of Voip Implementation To Improve Customer Service At A Midwestern Financial Services Office, Russell J. Roysden, Shu Z. Schiller

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

This article presents a case study of the acquisition of a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system to replace an outdated telephone system at a Midwestern financial services company. In the Midwest retail office of ABC Financial Services, the old Private Branch Exchange (PBX) phone system was incapable of handling customer inquiries during the busy tax return season. The inefficient systems exposed the organization to missed and delayed calls, which lead to a considerable number of customer complaints and lost revenue. Guided by the systematic approach of technology retooling, computer engineers followed the steps of problem diagnosis, analysis of competing …

Dock Appointments Program & Loading Efficiency Executive Summary, Adrian Duncan

Master of Science in Logistics & Supply Chain Management Capstone Executive Summaries and Projects

NewPage Corporation houses a total of seven facilities in the Central Wisconsin region. Implementation of a Dock Appointment Program, which requires carriers to adhere to a prescheduled loading appointment time, will allow NewPage to level out its preloading and liveloading volume throughout the day, thus mitigating the spikes that occur in liveloading and preloading volumes. Having a scheduled dock appointment will allow NewPage mill and logistics personnel to produce, plan, stage and load against a prescheduled driver arrival time, thus increasing efficiency in all of these processes. In addition, required dock appointments will eliminate bottlenecks and drastically decrease driver wait …

Master of Science in Logistics & Supply Chain Management Capstone Executive Summaries and Projects

An analysis of current research methods and technologies has revealed capability gaps in all of the required attributes. Amplification in the supply chain, disconnected processes, nonstandard data transactions, stove-piped communities, non-robust modeling techniques, misalignment of project milestone management, and significant data management overhead are but a few of the symptoms.
