  摘要：Employees' underutilization of new Information systems undermines organizations efforts to gain benefits from such systems. The two main predictors of individual-level system use in prior research-behavioral intention and facilitating conditions-have limitations that we discuss. We introduce behavioral expectation as a predictor that addresses some of the key limitations and provides a better understanding of system use. System use is examined in terms of three key conceptualizations: duration...
• USING COGNITIVE PRINCIPLES To GUIDE CLASSIFICATION IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS MODELING AI翻译

  摘要：Organizing phenomena into classes is a pervasive human activity. The ability to classify phenomena encountered in daily life in useful ways is essential to human survival and adaptation. Not surprisingly, then, classification-oriented activities are widespread in the information systems field. Classes or entity types play a central role in conceptual modeling for information systems requirements analysis, as well as in the design of databases and object-oriented software. Furthermore, classifi...
• Innovating or doing as told? Status differences and overlapping boundaries in offshore collaboration AI翻译

  摘要：Increasingly, firms source more complex and strategic as well as harder to codify information technology projects to low-cost offshore locations. Completing such projects successfully requires close collaboration among all participants. Yet, achieving such collaboration is extremely difficult because of the complexity of the context: multiple and overlapping boundaries associated with diverse organizational and national contexts separate the participants. These boundaries also lead to a pronou...
• Explaining variations in client extra costs between software projects offshored to India AI翻译

  摘要：Gaining economic benefits from substantially lower labor costs has been reported as a major reason for offshoring labor-intensive information systems services to low-wage countries. However, if wage differences are so high, why is there such a high level of variation in the economic success between offshored IS projects? This study argues that offshore outsourcing involves a number of extra costs for the client organization that account for the economic failure of offshore projects. The object...
• Two-stage offshoring:: An investigation of the Irish bridge AI翻译
  作者：Olsson, Helena Holmstrom; Conchuir, Eoin O.; Agerfalk, Par J.; Fitzgerald, Brian

  摘要：This paper investigates two-stage offshoring as experienced by the Irish sites of two large global companies, head-quartered in the United States, with significant software development operations. As part of these companies, the Irish sites act as abridge in their offshoring arrangements: While the U.S. sites offshore work to Ireland, the Irish sites offshore work further to India and, hence, have experience of being both customer and vendor in two-stage offshore sourcing relationships. Using ...
• The relative advantage of electronic channels: A multidimensional view AI翻译

  摘要：The Internet has the potential to fundamentally change the structure of marketing channels, but only if consumers choose to adopt electronic channels. Thus, this paper aims to develop a more nuanced understanding of consumer channel choices. Specifically, it contends that it is important to examine consumers' intent to adopt electronic channels, not as a monolithic decision, but as a choice they make at each of four stages in the purchase process: requirements determination, vendor selection,p...
• Dressing your online auction business for success: An experiment comparing two eBay businesses AI翻译

  摘要：Businesses can choose who they want to be online. Product and company attributes that are directly perceivable in the real world can be manipulated tomake a favorable impression on online buyers. This study examines whether creating a more professional online e-image can signal consumers about unobservable product or company quality, and whether this signal influences their willingness to transact with the company, and ultimately the prices they are willing to pay for the company's goods and s...
• Managing the knowledge supply chain: An organizational learning model of information technology offshore outsourcing AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper, we present an economic learning model that helps to formalize the complex relationships among an offshoring firm's knowledge levels, production costs, and coordination costs. Specifically, we model a domestic firm's use of a selective offshore strategy (i.e., offshoring only a portion of its information technology activities) to exploit, through IT investments or contractual provisions, the foreign vendor's large, scale-driven repository of production knowledge. We illustrate th...
• Work dispersion, process-based learning, and offshore software development performance AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper we develop a learning-mediated model of offshore software project productivity and quality to examine whether widely adopted structured software processes are effective in mitigating the negative effects of work dispersion in offshore software development. We explicate how the key process areas of the capability maturity model (CMM) can be utilized as a platform to launch learning routines in offshore software development and thereby explain why some offshore software development...

  摘要：The space of design alternatives for a business process is typically very large, with technology. location, and other factors combining to generate seemingly endless possibilities This paper introduces a set of artifacts that support process designers in their efforts to manage this critical business problem: (1) a grammar-based method to generate and manage business process design alternatives and (2) a soft are prototype that provides support for the use of this method. The method and protot...
