• Learning dysfunctions in information systems development: Overcoming the social defenses with transitional objects AI翻译
  作者：Wastell, DG
  作者单位：University of Manchester
  摘要：Given the continuing prevalence of IS failure, this paper contends that a fresh theoretical perspective and new methodological principles are required. It is argued that learning is crucial to the success of ISD, and that many IS projects miscarry due to the inherently high levels of stress and anxiety that imbue ISD and that elicit defense-avoidance behavior patterns in project teams. Such social defenses reflect modes of group behavior that operate primarily to reduce anxiety, rather than re...
• Horizontal mechanisms under differing is organization contexts AI翻译

  摘要：Horizontal mechanisms are structural overlays (such as roles and groups) and non-structural devices (such as physical colocation) that are designed to facilitate cross-unit collaboration. The objective of this study is to increase our cumulative knowledge about what top-down mechanisms are being used to promote the coordination of IS activities across corporate/division boundaries. Propositions about how mechanism usage differs under centralized versus federal IS organization contexts are deve...
• Explanations from intelligent systems: Theoretical foundations and implications for practice AI翻译
  作者：Gregor, S; Benbasat, I

  摘要：Information systems with an intelligent or knowledge component are now prevalent and include knowledge-based systems, decision support systems, intelligent agents, and knowledge management systems. These systems are in principle capable of explaining their reasoning or justifying their behavior. There appears to be a lack of understanding, however, of the benefits that can flow from explanation use, and how an explanation function should be constructed. Work with newer types of intelligent sys...

• Assessing the health of an information systems applications portfolio: An example from process manufacturing AI翻译
  作者：Weill, P; Vitale, M
  作者单位：University of Melbourne
  摘要：This paper presents a model of the IS applications portfolio and illustrates how its health can be assessed through an example from process manufacturing. The health assessment is based on an evaluation by senior managers of a business unit's portfolio of information systems. This assessment is made on five separate, but related, attributes of each system in the portfolio: importance, investment, technical quality, use, and management value. The Health Grid is introduced as a way of representi...
• How much bandwidth is enough? A longitudinal examination of media characteristics and group outcomes AI翻译

  摘要：This study addresses three key issues related to media differences among computer-mediated groups meeting face-to-face, synchronously, and asynchronously: First, do groups using different media perceive characteristics of these media differently! Second, do media-related perceptions remain static or change as they are used over time? And finally, do media differences result in performance differences, i.e., do richer media result in better performance for equivocal tasks as predicted by bandwi...
• Structuring time and task in electronic brainstorming AI翻译

  摘要：There are many ways in which a GSS can be used to support group brainstorming. This paper reports the results of an experiment that manipulated task structure and time structure. Groups electronically brainstormed on intact tasks (where all parts of the task were presented simultaneously) or on partitioned tasks (where three subcategories of the task were presented to the groups). The time periods in which groups worked were either one 30-minute lime period or three 10-minute periods separated...

• Six myths of information and markets: Information technology networks, electronic commerce, and the battle for consumer surplus AI翻译

  摘要：The infusion of powerful information networks into business environments is beginning to have a profound impact on the nature of governance between buyers and sellers in the marketplace. Most articles in this area emphasize the benefits to the consumer side of the equation due to reduced coordination, search, and transactional costs. This article presents a broader view of information and markets by elucidating innovative ways that sellers can survive in intensely competitive markets. The arti...
