This paper addresses the need for organizations to manage the transformation from traditional hierarchical models to ‘learning
organizations.’ We propose a five-stage methodology useful in the diffusion of behaviors associated with organizational learning
(OL) theory. The stages of OL diffusion are (1) agenda-setting, (2) matching, (3) restructuring, (4) clarifying, and (5) routinizing.
Each stage involves both managerial (structural) or member (cultural) influences on organizational memory (OM). Salient definitions
are provided and the OM aspects and deliverables associated with each OL diffusion stage are discussed. This research provides
a theoretically-driven approach to help change agents diffuse and realize the potential of OL behavior in the firm.

Based on 45 interviews and significant documentation, we explore the offshore outsourcing experiences of a US-based biotechnology
company. This company offshore outsourced 21 IT projects to six suppliers in India. Senior managers and the official documents
from the Program Management Office consistently reported that offshore outsourcing was successful in reducing the company’s
IT costs. But interviews with knowledgeable participants actually managing the projects suggest that many projects were not
successful in meeting cost, quality, and productivity objectives. We found evidence that this company’s offshore strategy
to simply replace domestic contractors with cheaper, offshore suppliers was a poor fit with its social and cultural contexts.
Specifically, we found that strong social networks between the company’s internal IT employees and domestic contractors were
not easily replicated with offshore suppliers. Furthermore, the internal project management processes were often incompatible
with offshore suppliers’ processes. This paper also analyzes seven project characteristics that differentiate highly-rated
projects from poorly-rated projects. These project characteristics are type of IT work, size of supplier firm, location of
supplier employees (onsite/offshore), dollar value of the contract, duration of the project, timing of the project, and client
unit managing the project. The paper concludes with four overall insights for clients and suppliers.

This article analyses the first 10 years of research published in the Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) from 1999 to 2008. The analysis of the published material includes examining variables such as most productive authors, citation
analysis, universities associated with the most publications, geographic diversity, authors’ backgrounds and research methods.
The keyword analysis suggests that ISF research has evolved from establishing concepts and domain of information systems (IS), technology and management to contemporary
issues such as outsourcing, web services and security. The analysis presented in this paper has identified intellectually
significant studies that have contributed to the development and accumulation of intellectual wealth of ISF. The analysis has also identified authors published in other journals whose work largely shaped and guided the researchers
published in ISF. This research has implications for researchers, journal editors, and research institutions.

The purpose of autonomic networking is to manage the business and technical complexity of networked components and systems.
However, existing network management data has no link to business concepts. This makes it very difficult to ensure that services
offered by the network are meeting business objectives. This paper describes a novel context-aware policy model that uses
a combination of modeled and ontological data to determine the current context, which policies are applicable to that context,
and what services and resources should be offered to which users and applications.

One of the major challenges facing the Indian IT services industry is the high rate of turnover among Indian IS professionals.
Turnover rates have been reported as high as 100% annually. Despite the serious problem, we are unaware of any academic research
that has studied the determinants of turnover among Indian IS professionals. We aim to contribute to the literature by understanding
Turnover Intentions of Indian IS professionals. We developed an initial model of Turnover Intentions based on the IS and Organizational
Behavior literatures. The most commonly identified determinants of Turnover Intentions in these literatures were Organizational
Commitment (emotional attachment to an organization) and Job Satisfaction. However, the research that identified these determinants
was primarily tested on Western workers. We assessed the applicability of this model by interviewing 25 Indian IS professionals.
We found strong support that Job Satisfaction affects Turnover Intentions among Indian IS professionals. However, Organizational
Commitment was found to be a troublesome construct. Many Indian participants did not relate to the concept of an emotional
attachment to an organization. Instead, they talked in terms that better mapped to the construct Organizational Satisfaction.
The interviews also uncovered another important determinant of Turnover Intention: Social Norms. Social Norms, as evidenced
by significant family pressure to reside in the same city as the employee’s family, emerged as a major reason for Turnover
Intentions. Our revised model identifies Job Satisfaction, Organizational Satisfaction, and Social Norms as the main determinants
of Turnover Intentions among Indian IS Professionals. We also identify four implications for practice. The most worrisome
implication for Western clients is that Indian IS professionals do not like performing routine IT maintenance work or merely
programming from predefined specifications—the bulk of work sent offshore. Indian IS professionals preferred client-facing
activities, design and development work.

Household technology adoption in a global marketplace: Incorporating the role of espoused cultural values 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This paper extends prior research in household technology adoption by incorporating the role of espoused cultural values.
Specifically, we theorize that espoused cultural values–individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, power distance,
uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation—play an important role in affecting consumers’ behaviors by altering consumers’
belief structures—attitudinal beliefs, normative beliefs, and control beliefs. Our theoretical model predicts that the impact
of consumers’ belief structures on household technology adoption intention varies across consumers with different cultural
values. Propositions are provided to explain how different cultural mechanisms moderate the relationships between consumers’
beliefs and household technology adoption intention. The paper concludes with theoretical implications, future research directions,
and practical implications.

Facilitation of collaborative business processes across organizational and infrastructural boundaries continues to present
challenges to enterprise software developers. One of the greatest difficulties in this respect is achieving a streamlined
pipeline from business modeling to execution infrastructures. In this paper we present Evie - an approach for rapid design
and deployment of event driven collaborative processes based on significant language extensions to Java that are characterized
by abstract and succinct constructs. The focus of this paper is to provide proof of concept of Evie’s expressability using
a recent benchmark known as service interaction patterns. While the patterns encapsulate the breadth of required business
process semantics the Evie language delivers a rapid means of encoding them at an abstract level, and subsequently compiling
and executing them to create a fully fledged Java-based execution environment.

Using resource dependency theory (RDT), this research analyzes how organizations control their information technology resources
to improve organizational performance. According to RDT, organizations must manage their dependency on external organizations
and limit external dependencies when resources are considered critical. The current study proposes and tests a portion of
a Strategic Control Model positing that managers seek to control important, strategic resources in order to create value for
the firm and to avoid dependency on external entities. Utilizing a research design that captured extensive quantitative data
on the control of IT functions and services, the research team gathered 5 years of data on 54 business units (BUs) in 27 global
companies located in seven countries. Study examined the linkages of these 54 BUs to firm performance. Locating the Extent
of Control within the firm in cases where the firm depends on IT as a strategic resource proves to be a good explanation for
effective decisions leading to higher performance. Viewing IT as a strategic resource alone does not lead to positive business
unit outcomes, but the moderating influence of Extent of Control is found to establish the complex statistical relationship
with business unit performance. For these reasons, it is critical that a theoretically grounded firm-wide process for decisions
on locating IT control is in place to capture business value.

Operations Support Systems (OSS) have been a critical component of any telecommunications company’s business plan. In this
paper we examine the history of OSS from the perspectives of maturing support for problem domains, enabling technologies,
and system integration. Finally, we will look at the problems posed by the coming “everything over IP” networks, the changing
communications provider landscape and the impact on operations support systems.

It is now commonplace for an organization to turn to external firms for the provision of IT services and software. As technology
advances and the business environment continues to evolve, a key challenge facing IT software and service providers is identifying
critical skill sets, both today and in the future. The challenge is compounded as a result of the continuing growth of outsourcing
and the increasing demand for technology solutions. This paper explores that challenge through a survey of IT software and
service providers. We extend and complement previous studies of non-IT firms by comparing skills sought by non-IT organizations
with those of IT services and software providers. Results indicate that, surprisingly, software and services providers place
more emphasis on business domain and project management skills than on technical skills. This has implications for the hiring
and retention practices of managers, and for academic curriculum and course offerings.

Data Quality is a critical issue in today’s interconnected society. Advances in technology are making the use of the Internet
an ever-growing phenomenon and we are witnessing the creation of a great variety of applications such as Web Portals. These
applications are important data sources and/or means of accessing information which many people use to make decisions or to
carry out tasks. Quality is a very important factor in any software product and also in data. As quality is a wide concept,
quality models are usually used to assess the quality of a software product. From the software point of view there is a widely
accepted standard proposed by ISO/IEC (the ISO/IEC 9126) which proposes a quality model for software products. However, until
now a similar proposal for data quality has not existed. Although we have found some proposals of data quality models, some
of them working as “de facto” standards, none of them focus specifically on web portal data quality and the user’s perspective.
In this paper, we propose a set of 33 attributes which are relevant for portal data quality. These have been obtained from
a revision of literature and a validation process carried out by means of a survey. Although these attributes do not conform
to a usable model, we think that it might be considered as a good starting point for constructing one.

Collaboration and coordination between organizations are necessary in today’s business environment, and are enabled by inter-organizational
processes. Many approaches for the construction of such processes have been proposed in recent years. However, due to the
lack of standard terminology it is hard to evaluate and select a solution that fits a specific business scenario. The paper
proposes a conceptual model which depicts the nature of interaction between organizations through business processes under
specific business requirements that emphasize the privacy and autonomy of the participating organizations. The model is generic,
and relies on the generic process model (GPM) framework and on Bunge’s ontology. Being generic and theory-based, we propose
to use the model as a basis for comparing and evaluating design and implementation-level approaches for inter-organizational
processes. We demonstrate the evaluation procedure by applying it to three existing approaches.

Theory of relative defect proneness 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
A. Güneş Koru Khaled El Emam Dongsong Zhang Hongfang Liu Divya Mathew 《Empirical Software Engineering》2008,13(5):473-498
In this study, we investigated the functional form of the size-defect relationship for software modules through replicated
studies conducted on ten open-source products. We consistently observed a power-law relationship where defect proneness increases
at a slower rate compared to size. Therefore, smaller modules are proportionally more defect prone. We externally validated
the application of our results for two commercial systems. Given limited and fixed resources for code inspections, there would
be an impressive improvement in the cost-effectiveness, as much as 341% in one of the systems, if a smallest-first strategy
were preferred over a largest-first one. The consistent results obtained in this study led us to state a theory of relative
defect proneness (RDP): In large-scale software systems, smaller modules will be proportionally more defect-prone compared
to larger ones. We suggest that practitioners consider our results and give higher priority to smaller modules in their focused
quality assurance efforts.

A literature review of electronic marketplace research: Themes, theories and an integrative framework 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this paper, we presented a literature review of the current status of electronic marketplace (EM) research. It consists
of 109 journal articles published in 19 journals that are appropriate outlets for electronic commerce research. The results
show that an increasing volume of EM research has been conducted from diverse theoretical perspectives. Based on content analysis,
we identified eight research themes, five types of methodologies and six categories of background theories which most EM researches
were grounded in. By combining research themes and the patterns of the background theories, an integrative framework of EM
was proposed to represent the paradigms of EM researches. The framework shows that EM phenomena can be addressed from three
perspectives: information systems, inter-organizational/social structure and strategic management perspectives. This framework
suggests a parsimonious and cohesive way to explain key EM research issues such as EM adoption, success and impact.

Inverse multi-objective robust evolutionary design 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In this paper, we present an Inverse Multi-Objective Robust Evolutionary (IMORE) design methodology that handles the presence
of uncertainty without making assumptions about the uncertainty structure. We model the clustering of uncertain events in
families of nested sets using a multi-level optimization search. To reduce the high computational costs of the proposed methodology
we proposed schemes for (1) adapting the step-size in estimating the uncertainty, and (2) trimming down the number of calls
to the objective function in the nested search. Both offline and online adaptation strategies are considered in conjunction
with the IMORE design algorithm. Design of Experiments (DOE) approaches further reduce the number of objective function calls
in the online adaptive IMORE algorithm. Empirical studies conducted on a series of test functions having diverse complexities
show that the proposed algorithms converge to a set of Pareto-optimal design solutions with non-dominated nominal and robustness
performances efficiently.

This paper provides a starting point for thinking beyond a research–practice divide and discusses possible new conceptualizations of intervention and the role of IT research in contemporary organizational settings. ‘IT research’ denotes a conglomerate of overlapping research conducted under the headings of Information Systems, Systems Development, Critical IS Research and Participatory Design. The paper applies this joint notion of IT research and the IT researcher to draw parallels across these niches of research regarding the question of intervention. Through an analysis of selected field study events, a prominent notion of intervention (as being active as opposed to being passive) is reworked in terms of intervention as circumstance, a circumstantial interplay of situated practices. In closing, subsequent possibilities for repositioning the IT researcher are discussed in terms of reflexivity, facilitation or being a trickster.

Investigating mobile wireless technology adoption: An extension of the technology acceptance model 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This research represents a theoretical extension of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which IS researchers have used
to explain technologies’ perceived usefulness and individuals intention to use it. The authors developed a model, referred
to as the Mobile Wireless Technology Acceptance Model (MWTAM), to test the relationship between theoretical constructs spanning
technological influence processes (Perceived Ubiquity, and Perceived Reachability) and cognitive influence processes (Job
Relevance, Perceived Usefulness, and Perceived Ease of Use) and their impact on Behavioral Intention. MWTAM is assessed using
data collected from an online survey and analyzed using AMOS 5.0. Results provide evidence to support MWTAM as both the technological
and cognitive influence processes accounted for 58.7% of the variance explained in an individual’s Behavioral Intention toward
using mobile wireless technology. Additionally, the path coefficients between constructs ranged from 0.241 to 0.572 providing
further evidence to support the theoretical extension of TAM.

Fault based testing aims at detecting hypothesized faults based on specifications or program source. There are some fault
based techniques for testing Boolean expressions which are commonly used to model conditions in specifications as well as
logical decisions in program source. The MUMCUT strategy has been proposed to generate test cases from Boolean expressions.
Moreover, it detects eight common types of hypothesized faults provided that the original expression is in irredundant disjunctive
normal form, IDNF. Software practitioners are more likely to write the conditions and logical decisions in general form rather
than IDNF. Hence, it is interesting to investigate the fault detecting capability of the MUMCUT strategy with respect to general
form Boolean expressions. In this article, we perform empirical studies to investigate the fault detection capability of the
MUMCUT strategy with respect to general form Boolean expressions as well as mutated expressions. A mutated expression can
be obtained from the original given Boolean expression by making a syntactic change based on a particular type of fault.

In this paper a novel scheme for color video compression using color transfer technique is proposed. Towards this, a new color
transfer mechanism for video using motion estimation is presented. Encoder and decoder architectures for the proposed compression
scheme are also presented. In this scheme, compression is achieved by firstly discarding chrominance information for all but
selected reference frames and then using motion prediction and discrete cosine transform (DCT) based quantization. At decompression
stage, the luminance-only frames are colored using chrominance information from the reference frames applying the proposed
color transfer technique. To integrate color transfer mechanism with hybrid compression scheme a new color transfer protocol
is defined. Both compression scheme and color transfer work in YCbCr color space.

The regulative and semantic ‘distance’ of electronic conferencing may impede the topical alignment and the unambiguous interpretation of messages, hindering collaborative learning processes. Compared to a face-to-face environment, in electronic conferencing this distance may be caused by a reduced strength of online ‘context’. Explicitly defining the context of messages in an electronic environment may increase the writers’ co-intentionality and co-reference. An annotation tool is presented, strengthening the context by providing a document under discussion and enabling users to anchor their messages in specific passages of the document. Preliminary results indicate that the tool does indeed reinforce the context, focusing the online discussion around a certain topic (increasing co-intentionality) and providing a frame of reference for single messages (increasing co-reference).
