  摘要：This paper draws upon the absorptive capacity as the theoretical basis for a pragmatic explanation of key factors affecting information technology (IT) use in large, complex organizations. IT use is defined as the extent to which an organization deploys IT to support operational and strategic tasks. The study uses results from a survey of senior IT managers from 132 firms to examine hypothesized relationships among the following constructs: IT management climate, managerial IT knowledge, IT-ma...
• AN EXPLORATORY-STUDY OF ROLES IN COMPUTER-SUPPORTED GROUPS AI翻译
  作者：ZIGURS, I; KOZAR, KA
  摘要：The emerging technology of group support systems has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of team work in organizations. One critical factor that has received little attention in technology-supported environments is that of the roles participants fill in meetings. This paper develops a theoretical model of roles in computer-supported meetings and examines the impact of a group support system on roles. An exploratory field study of 10 work teams was conducted to investigate the perception...

  摘要：Sustainability of competitive advantage may achieved by leveraging unique firm attributes with information technology to realize long-term performance gains. Information systems that cannot sustain competitive impact have only transient strategic value or may offer negative value if matched by a superior response by competitors. A research review of sustainability was conducted that resulted in the development of a framework depicting factors effecting sustainable competitive advantage. This s...
• ELECTRONIC MAIL AS A MEDIUM FOR RICH COMMUNICATION - AN EMPIRICAL-INVESTIGATION USING HERMENEUTIC INTERPRETATION AI翻译
  作者：LEE, AS

  摘要：Zale Corporation once melted down most of its damaged, returned, or repossessed jewelry, resulting in substantial lost revenues. It was determined that additional revenue could be produced from salvageable jewelry if the value of the items could be accurately determined. This meant the jewelry had to be appraised by experienced gemologists to determine the most profitable disposition. The gemologists' productivity suffered because the appraisal was extremely labor intensive. To address this pr...

• REENGINEERING - BUSINESS CHANGE OF MYTHIC PROPORTIONS AI翻译
  作者：DAVENPORT, TH; STODDARD, DB
  作者单位：Harvard University
  摘要：Reengineering is a powerful change approach that can bring about radical improvements in business processes. However, the popular management literature has created more myth than practical methodology regarding reengineering. It has relied more heavily on hype than on research, common sense, or lessons of the past. In this paper, we attempt to ''demythologize'' some key aspects of reengineering by describing what we have observed in our research and Practice. Seven reengineering myths are iden...
• GENDER DIFFERENCES IN THE INFORMATION-SYSTEMS MANAGERIAL RANKS - AN ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES AI翻译
  作者：TRUMAN, GE; BAROUDI, JJ
  摘要：This paper examines the extent to which gender discrimination is a force affecting the senior managerial ranks of the information systems (IS) occupation. While the employment trends of women in the IS occupation is encouraging, data are presented that suggest that IS may not be immune to the problems of gender discrimination. Analyzing data gathered by the Society for Information Management (SIM), a problem suggestive of discriminatory practices was found. Women receive lower salaries than me...
