Outpacing Moore’S Law: Information Technology’S Role As An Enabler, Kevin P. Duffy

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Technology is widely recognized as an enabler of business models. When the Web appeared in the 1990s, businesses redesigned the ways in which they interacted with their customers. They became global, rather than local, and the world represented an expanded customer base. While the Web has become a fact of life since the 1990s, technology has not lost its ability to introduce new ways of enabling organizations to provide and create value for their customers, as new and inventive ways of interacting with customers continue to appear.


Information Systems Configurations For Enabling Supply Chain Visibility, Anand Jeyaraj, Vikram Sethi Jan 2011

Information Systems Configurations For Enabling Supply Chain Visibility, Anand Jeyaraj, Vikram Sethi

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Supply chain visibility continues to be a major concern for organizations. While there is a general perception that supply chain visibility is driven by information sharing and enabling information technologies, there are gaps in our understanding of what constitutes supply chain visibility and the specific information technology configurations that may be implemented for enabling visibility. This manuscript presents a possible framework for conceptualizing information sharing needs and mechanisms that need to be enabled using information technologies in the pursuit of supply chain visibility. A multiple case study approach is proposed for examining the ways in which real-world organizations embedded in …

Business Process Management: Helping Organizations Remain Competitive, Kevin P. Duffy, Jeremy Humble

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Business process management involves the examination of business processes in organizations, in order to make them more effective and efficient.

A process is a series of steps that lead to an outcome and may be simple or complex, depending on the type and number of steps involved. A process within an organization by which the company either introduces new products or refreshes old ones with new features, thus providing the market with new product offerings.


Learning Computational Thinking From Rapid Digital Game Creation, Praveen Kuruvada, Daniel Asamoah, Nikunj Dalal, Subhash Kak Nov 2010

Learning Computational Thinking From Rapid Digital Game Creation, Praveen Kuruvada, Daniel Asamoah, Nikunj Dalal, Subhash Kak

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Computational Thinking (CT) has been described as a universally applicable ability such as reading and writing. In this paper, we describe an innovative pedagogy using Rapid Digital Game Creation (RDGC) for learning CT skills. RDGC involves the rapid building of digital games with high-level software that requires little or no programming knowledge. We analyze how RDGC supports various CT concepts and how it may be mapped to equivalent Java concepts by building the same game using both RDGC and Java. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach for attracting computing majors, as a precursor to learning formal programming languages, …

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has progressed from a limited, untested technology to a feature-rich service that continues to find a place in all types of businesses. Companies such as Vonage and Skype have built successful business models based on VoIP services, and major telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Time Warner have followed suit with bundled offerings of phone, cable, and Internet services. Research has suggested that the Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) marketplace is quickly moving towards VoIP for productivity and efficiency benefits, convenience, and cost savings (Frost & Sullivan Company, 2006).

Document Sql (Dsql) - An Accessible Yet Comprehensive Ad-Hoc Querying Frontend For Xquery, Arijit Sengupta Mar 2009

Document Sql (Dsql) - An Accessible Yet Comprehensive Ad-Hoc Querying Frontend For Xquery, Arijit Sengupta

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

This article presents a declarative query language, Document SQL (DSQL) that has the same look and feel as SQL and was designed by updating the semantics of SQL operations in the structured document domain. At the same time, DSQL was designed such that all queries written in it have equivalent counterparts in XQuery. Thus, by using such a language, users can take advantage of their existing SQL knowledge when writing ad-hoc queries without losing the expressive power of XQuery.

Diffusion Of Complex Information Systems Across Organizations, Anand Jeyaraj Jan 2009

Diffusion Of Complex Information Systems Across Organizations, Anand Jeyaraj

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Organizations deal with complex information systems innovations such as enterprise resource planning systems to enable and support their operations. While there is considerable research on organizations’ adoption, implementation, and use of such complex information systems, prior literature has not dwelt as much on the diffusion or the spread of such complex information systems across a population of organizations. A limited number of studies have shown different information sources such as external, internal, and mixed influences to drive diffusion, and found variations in the diffusion patterns of different complex information systems. These findings, however, belong to different populations and do not …
