Top management involvement is important to the success of IS strategy. However, it is not typically within top management's role to implement strategy, rather, strategy implementation falls under the purview of middle management. This study investigates the importance of middle management involvement in and awareness of IS Strategy. Using a survey of 100 middle managers, the study discovers that the...
Knowledge creation has emerged as a critical area in information systems research in the past decade [1]. One of the mechanisms through which knowledge creation enhances firm performance has been theorized as organizational agility. This paper empirically examines the role of organization agility as a mediator between knowledge creation processes and financial firm performance. Our survey study of...
Technology-supported work teams are increasingly used by organizations to support various business processes. Previous literature has examined the influence of various factors on team performance, yet, differences in participants' individual motivational orientation have received little attention. In this study, we aim to understand the effects of differences in motivational orientation on performance,...
Based on the literature and in-depth interview, this paper proposes a model for indentifying the consumer motivations participating in virtual brand community. They are comprised searching for effective information, obtaining preferential treatment, seeking offline interaction, sharing post-purchase experience, and maintaining information quality. Moreover, their effects on consumer participation...
Previous research suggested that customer citizenship behaviors can improve service quality and performance of firms. How to measure customer citizenship behaviors and whether the scales influence the accuracy and scientificity of empirical study. The paper made a retrospect about related literatures about customer citizenship behaviors, reviewed applied scales, analyzed the scales from reliability...
Extant studies fail to find a significant relationship between information technology investment and firm performance. According to the theory of triadic reciprocal determinism, the determinants of ERP's User Customer Satisfaction include environmental factors (organizational culture, top management support, etc.), user behavior factors (participation in ERP project), and user personal factors (ERP...
Previous research indicated that task conflict benefits knowledge sharing (KS), whereas relationship conflict damages it. However, little is known about the underlying process by which the two types of conflicts affect KS. By integrating conflict theory and transactive memory system (TMS) theory, this paper presented a mediational model to test whether two types of conflict have different effects...
Enterprise 2.0 technology has become popular in business, facilitated by Web 2.0 applications. Many researches on Enterprise 2.0 and related practitioners have recognized the importance of benefits and costs for individuals using Web 2.0. However, the effects of such benefits on enterprise adoption intentions are not discussed. To investigate this issue, this paper proposed a model to examine and...
At present, new product development (NPD) has become the key to company survival and development in all industries. But conventional wisdom can also threaten a companypsilas ability to compete. NPD researches, mostly dwelling on company level, were found to ignore the product users-customers. This study, however, based on transaction cost theory and from knowledge sharing perspective, is to explore...
We present a practical, systematical method for the evaluation of the soft error rate (SER) of microelectronic devices. Existing methodologies, practices and tools are integrated in a common approach while highlighting the need for specific data or tools. The showcased method is particularly adapted for evaluating the SER of very complex microelectronic devices by engineers confronted to increasingly...
Dimensional analysis from a single image is an interesting topic of investigation in the research community, even though range sensors are becoming a common alternative for the generation of metric information in real-time. The interest in obtaining metric measurements from a single image is motivated by a wide spectrum of applications such as cultural heritage, civil engineering, urban planning,...
An organizational level test strategy needs to incorporate metrics to make the testing activities visible and available to process improvements. The majority of testing measurements that are done are based on faults found in the test execution phase. In contrast, this paper investigates metrics to support software test planning and test design processes. We have assembled metrics in these two process...
Accelerated by the rapid deployment of distributed systems and the Internet, online collaboration and information sharing are pervasive in enterprise computing environment. With regard to the requirements of online collaboration and information sharing, authentication information needs flexible manipulation to facilitate federation across trust domains. To achieve identity federation for federated...
