Strategic alignment is a mechanism by which an organization can visualize the relationship between its business processes and strategies. It enables organizational decision makers to collect meaningful insights based on their current processes. Currently it is difficult to show the sustainability of an organization and to determine an optimal set of processes that are required for realizing strategies. Further, there is not a general framework for strategic alignment that can ease this problem. In this article, we propose such a general framework for strategic alignment, which helps develop a clear understanding of the relationships between strategies and business processes. The …

Governments worldwide have, increasingly, implemented e-government initiatives for their potential significant benefits; among which, delivering better services to citizens through increasing citizens' convenience, satisfaction, and independence; and saving their time, effort, and cost. Achieving each benefit is an objective to these governments and fulfilling each objective is considered a critical success factors. Hence, governments need to assess the extent to which they were able to obtain their preset goals. This study merely focuses on the citizens' perspective of the evaluation. However, the literature seems to lack studies that propose such a sufficient evaluation tool that has been reliably validated. Therefore, …

This study seeks to investigate how cognitive load influences knowledge construction and what is the role of layered integrated instructional techniques in facilitating the construction and automation of schemas whilst users are interacting with e-learning tools. Initially the literature on how Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) plays a role in e-learning tools is presented, this is followed by the considerations that need to be taken when developing e-learning tools with CLT as a focus so that learners can gain the best possible learning outcomes. This paper finally presents three different ways that e-learning tools can be designed when considering the cognitive …

Modern information systems provide a technical foundation for greater participation of citizens in the agenda-setting and decision-making processes of government. Information systems researchers and designers will need to address a number of issues to design IS applications for the effective functioning of evolving forms of democracy. This paper identifies a research agenda at the intersection of information systems research, economics and political science research and avenues for information systems researchers to contribute to the research agenda.
The Quality Indicators Of Delivering E-Learning For Dementia Care To Nurses, Zhengyu Zhang, Ping Yu
The Quality Indicators Of Delivering E-Learning For Dementia Care To Nurses, Zhengyu Zhang, Ping Yu

The inadequate supply of trained professionals to provide quality care for people with dementia is a big problem. Elearning could provide an effective solution to this challenge. Although e-learning is not a new teaching method, a quality framework is lack that can be used to judge the quality of e-learning delivery for working nurses. This gap thus should be overcomed. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to identify the quality indicator for effective elearning delivery. Based on these indicators, a quality framework of e-learning packages that teach nurses to deliver dementia care is constructed. The approach taken is …
E-Government Evaluation: A User-Centric Perspective For Public Value Proposition, Akemi Takeoka Chatfield, Omar Alhujran

Academic research and institutional reports present evidence of e-government project failures and stalled or cancelled initiatives. Prior research concludes that e-government evaluation is under developed and calls for improving egovernment evaluation practice. Stages of growth models have been used in IS research and more recently in e-government research. While egovernment stage models provide potentially useful tools for e-government evaluation, there are different e-government stage models that are sometimes contradictory in development stages and perspectives. Drawing on the concept of public value proposition, this research surveys existing egovernment stage models from a user-centric perspective and develops a user-centric, demandside model that …

Much of the existing empirical research focused on e-govemments in developed countries in the Western world. In consequence, very little is known about egovemment development efforts and current progress in the Arab countries. This research attempts to bridge the knowledge gap by conducting a qualitative analysis of the current practices of leading e-govemment Arab countries vis-a-vis those who lag behind them in their e-govemment maturity. The analysis results show a wide digital divide within the sixteen Arab e-govemment developments in terms of e-govemment service delivery capabilities.

As security enhanced systems for standard e-mail, certified e-mail schemes guarantee the fair exchange of a digital message with the corresponding receipt between two mistrusted parties. That is, the intended receiver gets the e-mail content if and only if the e-mail sender obtains an irrefutable receipt issued by the receiver, which could be used to prove that the message has been delivered to the receiver. A number of such protocols have been proposed in recent years. However, most of them are not suitable for mobile networks, since many intricate cryptographic primitives are involved so that considerable overheads are introduced. In …
