Full textAbstract:
Information system requirements determination is a key area in management information systems research that includes the problems of requirements specification, requirements elicitation, and user involvement. The combination of these three problems is a research area which we call the group approach to information system requirements determination. The main contribution of this research is a model to be used for the problem of fitting existing computer aids to this research area and a set of methods for solving the usability and configuration problems when using such computer aids. The usability problem is that of determining whether a set of computer aids can be used effectively in accomplishing the task of requirements determination. The configuration problem is that of selecting a minimum collection of funtionalities necessary for economically supporting all aspects of requirements determination. Electronic meeting systems are the general category of computer aids that we are interested in applying to the task. In particular, the GroupSystems electronic meeting system developed at The University of Arizona is used as a case in this research. Characteristics of the requirements determination task and profiles of GroupSystems tools are combined into our model for fitting computer aids to a given task. We then derive the answers regarding the usability and configuration of GroupSystems in the group approach to information system requirements determination. We also compare the derived configurations to the GroupSystems tools used in an authentic case. The main points of this research include: (1) proposal of the concept of fitting computer aids to, instead of developing new computer aids for, a task area; (2) proposal of a model for fitting computer aids via a classification of information types; (3) analysis of the natures of the fitting model and the usability and configuration problems; (4) proposal of approximation methods for solving the configuration problem; (5) analysis of the task area--the group approach to information system requirements determination; (6) analysis of the use of GroupSystems in the task area by applying the proposed fitting model and approximation methods; and (7) demonstration of the usefulness of the fitting model and approximation methods by analyzing an authentic case of using GroupSystems tools.

Full textAbstract:
Meetings are very important in any organisation and the Australian public service is no exception. Unfortunately, meetings are costly and time consuming, and often are ineffective and inefficient. Participants are regularly left with feelings of dissatisfaction after the meeting.
Electronic meeting systems (EMS) were first developed in the United States in the 1980s to make meetings more effective and efficient. They are now more user-friendly, internet-connected and support multimedia. However, EMS have not been adopted to the extent that could be expected.
This study draws from an extensive literature review supplemented by three case studies of Australian companies that provide EMS products and services (Global Learning Pty Ltd, Grouputer Pty Ltd and Zing Technologies Pty Ltd).
The study provides answers to six questions:
• What are electronic meeting systems (EMS)?
• What is the evidence that using an EMS does improve meeting productivity (efficiency and effectiveness) and satisfaction?
• Are there other benefits from using these systems?
• How does the use of an EMS bring about these improvements in meetings and group collaboration?
• What factors need to be managed in order for the organisation to obtain the most benefit from these systems?
• Could EMS be used to improve meetings and business processes in Australian (including state/territory) government organisations?
The study concluded that EMS could be used to great benefit to improve meetings and their outcomes for an enormous range of tasks that are carried out in all levels in the Australian public sector. EMS have successfully supported meeting sizes from two people to 700, and an even larger number of participants is possible.

Full textAbstract:
Software developers and users do not, in many cases, work efficiently and effectively together to elicit and agree on software requirements. A different approach to requirement elicitation and approval is proving extremely successful in industry. This approach uses a methodology and technique called Joint Application Development (JAD). JAD is both a team-technique and a methodology that emphasizes structure, a detailed agenda, and an active, trained facilitator.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of information technology to support group work. Electronic meeting system (EMS) technology, a specific type of group support system, has evolved since the early 1980s to address the need to provide computer support to work groups. This research study hypothesizes that the union of EMS technology with IAO-like meetings addressing a complex task such as software requirement elicitation will result in improved efficiency and effectiveness, higher quality decisions, greater member satisfaction, and improved consensus. Because testing these hypotheses using a controlled software project is impractical, data synthesis (meta-analysis) techniques were applied to the results from 180 historical laboratory experiments and field studies that examined EMS to support group decision-making. Results were grouped for analysis by research setting and by outcome variable (efficiency, effectiveness, quality, satisfaction and consensus).
The results confirm that EMS technology improves group decision-making efficiency and effectiveness, results in higher quality decisions and greater member satisfaction, and improves the process for obtaining consensus in both laboratory and field research settings. The composite field study’s effects were 1 y, to 3 times more significant than those from laboratory experiments. The results support the widely held research premise that historical laboratory and field results are not inconsistent but rather reflect different research situations. In this study, the laboratory findings were categorized to reflect treatments similar to those in field studies (medium to large size groups, medium to difficult tasks); the resulting outcomes were consistent. Because of this consistency of effect between controlled laboratory and field study results, the credibility and generalizability of historical field study outcomes is considerably strengthened.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research on the use of electronic meeting systems (EMS) has contrasted EMS-supported groups with non EMS-supported groups. That perspective may miss the dynamics of use because of the likely variability across groups. This research focuses on the use of an EMS: It is not the EMS itself, but whether and how it is used that is important. Adaptive structuration theory is the theoretical foundation for studying how an EMS is used in this research. It facilitates taking a more holistic approach to understand the circumstances of use (or lack of use) and changes in that use over time. This leads to the research question: In what ways and to what degree does use of an EMS by a small group change over time? An experiment was conducted to investigate the research question. Seventeen three- and four-person groups met for three 90 minute meetings over a two-week period to evaluate undergraduate programs in the College of Business. Groups could use (or choose not to use) GroupLink, an EMS software package. Two independent variables were studied: designated leadership and the passage of time. Questionnaire data were analyzed using a multivariate, nested, repeated measures design to perform a univariate estimation. Transcriptions of verbal discussions were coded using a coding scheme developed specifically for this experiment. Descriptive data from the group's electronic discussions were also compiled. Qualitative analysis was used to discern groups' patterns of EMS use. Findings indicate that groups with designated leaders generally appropriate EMS technology in ways faithful to its design. The presence or absence of a designated leader had no effect on attitudes toward the EMS-process or progress the group was making on the task. Attitudes about communication within groups became more positive over time. Researchers who study the impacts of collaborative technology should include the passage of time as one of their variables because the use of EMS technology appears to be dynamic rather than static. In terms of Adaptive Structuration Theory, appropriation processes may be more complex than originally hypothesized, and they may affect the contextual and technological dimensions of a group.

Full textAbstract:
Within the confines of the office, collaborative technologies such as desktop personal computers (PCs), groupware, and local area networks (LANs) are effective tools used by geographically dispersed team members engaged in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) projects. Where team members are not geographically dispersed but are collocated, Electronic Meeting Systems (EMSs), comprised of desktop PCs, groupware and LANs, have been established in specially equipped facilities called Interactive Meeting Rooms (IMRs). Given the expense and very specialized function, MRs are not common facilities in American corporations. In addition! MRs are restrictive in that the team members are tethered to the MR. The problem investigated was to create a venue independent or portable EMS to determine the effectiveness of the portable EMS used by a team engaged in a colocated CSCW project. The portable EMS consisted of ThinkPad notebook PCs from IBM®, peer-to-peer groupware from SPAN works TM and a wireless LAN (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. The study participants were members of IBM Product Development Teams (PDTs). PDTs are the vehicle by which IBM products are developed and delivered to the market. PDTs are comprised of members from cross functional areas. Most of the PDT members are collocated with remote members joining the PDT meetings by teleconference. Two existing PDTs, selected at random, were the focus of this quasi-experimental study. The experimental PDT used the portable EMS Willie the control PDT did not. The means of the bi-Level independent variables, the experimental and control PDTs, as measured by the Measuring Meeting Success questionnaire, were compared using the independent Samples t Test to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between the two PDTs.
The results revealed that the difference between the PDTs was not statistically significant. As a result of these findings, an evaluation of the portable EMS, specifically the user interface of the SPAN works groupware suite, was undertaken. The SPANworks usability evaluation revealed problems with the groupware's user interface, specifically setup time and user interface. Tills study culminated in a set of recommendations to improve the usability of the portable EMS in general and of the SPANworks groupware suite in particular.

Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of ArizonaIn this research we adopted an artificial intelligence (AI) approach to designing an automatic concept classification tool for electronic brainstorming output. The role of AI techniques such as machine learning and neural networks computing in groupware development can be significant. Through extensive content analysis, concept space generation, and neural network-based concept classification, our system can generate a tentative list of the important ideas and topics represented in meeting comments. Participants then can examine the systemâ s suggested list and the underlying comments. They can also revise or augment the list to produce their final consensus list. Allowing the system to act as an â intelligentâ aide for idea organization can alleviate some of the burdens of convergent tasks.

Full textAbstract:
A study was conducted to determine the preferences for the design of distributed meeting rooms used for video enhanced electronic meeting systems (VEMS). Although there is a significant body of literature in the group communication domain, the research in this multidisciplinary area has paid minimal attention to users' environmental preferences in the design of a meeting space.
A basic science approach through three studies was used to explore the variables that defined the design of a distributed meeting space from the user's perspective. Twenty-five inexperienced college-enrolled participants and twenty-five experienced Naval professionals used foam-core pieces to create a design of their ideal distributed meeting space. Thirty-seven variables were used to categorize qualitative attributes of the designs. Three types of designs emerged from the sample population: v-shaped, conference (u-shaped or oval), and theater (auditorium) style.
A nonexperimental design was used to measure the impact of the heuristics on the users' physical design of their distributed meeting spaces. Post-meeting evaluation results were promising and indicated that the heuristics were usable and that participating in the design could have a positive impact on user's subjective rating of their meeting experience. Overall, inexperienced users did not believe that the heuristics were necessary to determine the best room design for their team's needs.
In the third study, six experts conducted an expert evaluation of a distributed meeting room site. Most experts were not able to identify context-specific design issues such as camera angle and lighting with the static information that they were provided. The experts subjective ratings indicated that the heuristics were usable and were useful for room designers.
The overall findings indicated that experience level had a significant impact on user's perception of important equipment in a distributed meeting room. Naïve users were more concerned with visual communication and assigned more importance to public displays (p=.035). Experienced users were more concerned with audio communication and assigned more importance to microphone control (p=.024). In addition, general findings from this research include a new methodology for generating participatory ergonomic tools.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation describes research in the application and evaluation of a Kohonen Self-Organizing Map (SOM) to the problem of classification of Electronic Brainstorming output. Electronic Brainstorming is one of the most productive tools in the Electronic Meeting System called GroupSystems. A major step in group problem solving involves the classification of Electronic Brainstorming output into a manageable list of concepts, topics, or issues that can be further evaluated by the group. This step is problematic due to the information overload and cognitive load of the large quantity of data. This research builds upon previous work in automating the classification process using a Hopfield Neural Network. Evaluation of the Kohonen output in comparison with the Hopfield and human expert output over the same set of data found that the Kohonen SOM performed as well as a human expert in the recollection of associated term pairs and outperformed the Hopfield Neural Network algorithm. Using information retrieval measures, recall of concepts using the Kohonen algorithm was equivalent to the human expert. However, precision was poor. The graphical representation of textual data produced by the Kohonen SOM suggests many opportunities for improving information management of textual electronic information. Increasing uses of electronic mail, computer-based bulletin board systems, and world-wide web textual data suggest an overwhelming amount of textual information to manage. This research suggests that the Kohonen SOM may be used to automatically create "a picture that can represent a thousand (or more) words."

Full textAbstract:
JAD (Joint Application Development) is a meeting-centered methodology used to address the problem of getting users involved in the systems development process. Industry has used the JAD approach to develop systems for over a decade, predominantly for in-house software applications. Electronic Meeting Systems (EMS) are networked software systems that support meetings through a variety of software tools. The combination of the two--JAD and EMS--creates Electronic JAD (E-JAD). A field study was conducted to investigate whether applying EMS to JAD benefits the systems development process. The field study compared five traditional JAD sessions to six E-JAD sessions. All E-JAD sessions made use of the University of Arizona GroupSystems EMS. All sessions involved actual software development efforts conducted in a half dozen organizations and were all held in a face-to-face setting. There was some evidence that the E-JAD approach was beneficial as compared to traditional JAD techniques on the variables of efficiency and equalizing participation and influence. Traditional JAD sessions showed benefits over E-JAD in handling conflicts (particularly in resolving conflicts) and in enforcing a higher degree of structure. Neither of the approaches dominated on all criteria, hence an examination of E-JAD's weaknesses identifies two key areas for improvement: fit of GroupSystems tools to tasks (with discussion of divergence and convergence), and greater involvement of the session facilitator. Other constructs analyzed and discussed are: completeness, creativity, satisfaction, IS-user bonding, user expectations, users' mental models, JAD costs, group size, and planning activities.

Full textAbstract:
An Electronic Meeting System (EMS) is a computer-based environment that supports group meetings that may be dispersed in space and time. The focus of this dissertation is on EMS meeting rooms containing networked computer workstations that enable groups to meet face-to-face, with computer-supported electronic communication used to support or replace verbal communication. This electronic communication provides anonymity, the ability to work in parallel, and the ability to structure group interaction. This dissertation presents 10 laboratory and field studies using the University of Arizona GroupSystems EMS. The first experiment found 6- and 12-member EMS groups to be more satisfied and to generate more ideas of greater quality than similarly-sized verbally interacting groups. Experiments Two and Three found 9- and 12-member (respectively) EMS groups to be more satisfied and to generate more ideas than similarly-sized nominal groups (i.e., individuals working separately). Experiment Four found 18-member groups to generate more ideas than two 9-member groups, six 3-member groups or 18 individuals; and 12-member groups to generate more ideas than three 4-member groups or 12 individuals. The remaining three experiments examined the separate impacts of anonymity, parallelism, and structure. Parallelism and structure both had significant effects on performance; anonymity did not. The three field studies were conducted to help understand how organizational groups used this technology, and whether there was any evidence to support the theory developed and tested in the laboratory. The first studied 10 operations management groups, the second six small project teams, and the third organizations' use of EMS in the strategic management process. These field studies found EMS groups to perceive EMS support to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. These effects were stronger for larger groups and for groups that used more electronic communication relative to verbal communication. Parallelism, and to a lesser degree structure, where seen to be important. Anonymity was very important for groups with power and status differences, but had few effects for groups of peers or groups whose members worked together on a regular basis.

Full textAbstract:
This research compared the use of an electronic meeting system tool to a manual group process in large and small groups in a controlled laboratory experiment. Outcomes measured include the quality of decision, the time taken in various stages of the decision making process, and group member satisfaction. A research model of the variables influencing group decision making was developed. The six independent variables included in this model are group size, the rule by which the group makes a decision, the incentives driving the group, the distribution of useful information within the group, the task complexity, and the meeting support (electronic or manual). In this research group size and method of support were manipulated, while the other variables were controlled. A decision-making task was developed for this research to specify and manipulate the six independent variables. The task described a product mix problem in which information on each product was given to group members. The group shared information and jointly determined an outcome. The group used an unanimous decision rule to choose a solution. A numerical outcome was used to objectively measure decision quality. Each member of the group received a cash payoff determined by the group's solution as incentive in accomplishing the task. All groups found the optimal solution. The simplicity of the task may have minimized the differences found between groups. There was no significant difference in general member satisfaction or time to decision. Prior knowledge was found to influence general member satisfaction and the time needed for the group to share information. Members of large groups perceived more uneven distribution of participation than members of small groups. Voting differences were very large: large groups took significantly more votes than small groups, and electronic groups took significantly more votes than manual groups. "Conjunctive" and "disjunctive" task descriptions are used to discuss task/tool interaction.

Full textAbstract:
Small nonprofit medical practices lack the technical expertise to implement electronic medical records (EMRs) that are consistent with federal meaningful-use requirements. Failure to comply with meaningful-use EMR requirements affects nonprofit community health care leaders' ability to receive reimbursement for care. Complexity theory was the conceptual framework used in this exploratory single case study. The purpose of the study was to explore the strategies nonprofit community health care leaders in Washington, DC used to implement EMRs in order to comply with the meaningful-use requirements. Data were collected via in-depth interviews with 7 purposively-selected health care leaders in a nonprofit clinic and were supplemented with archival records from the organization's policies and legislated mandates. Participants' responses were coded into invariant constituents, single concepts, and ideas to develop theme clusters. Member checking was used to validate the transcribed data which was subsequently coded into 4 themes that included: access to information, quality of care, training, and reporting implications. Recommendations include increased effectiveness of training provided to health care leaders or the perceptions of the patients as stakeholders in EMR implementation. By using strategies that facilitate seamless movement of information within a digital health care infrastructure, business leaders could benefit from improved reimbursement for services. Implications for social change include progress and transformation in the way health care access is provided.

Full textAbstract:
Business models aid analysis and become the blueprints for improved business practices and information systems. The IDEF0 definition method is one method commonly used to develop business activity models. IDEF0 models are developed to reflect business processes. An IDEF0 model consists of an activity hierarchy and the attending inputs, controls, outputs, and mechanisms that border and link activities. Model production is costly, and model accuracy is important. It is critical to involve knowledgeable participants and stakeholders during model development and analysis. This results in valid models and increases the likelihood that changes based on the models will be accepted. Traditional IDEF0 modeling approaches, however, are supported by a single-user IDEF0 tool. The fact that all model information must be channeled through a scribe significantly limits model development speed and restricts productive, direct involvement to a few individuals. This dissertation explores electronic meeting systems (EMS) as a means of increasing the number of people who can productively participate during model development. General EMS includes networked computer workstations for all participants, a video projection system, and group support software that enables participants to contribute ideas, analyze options, vote on alternatives, and so forth. This research chronicles the evolutionary development and evaluation of a group-enabled IDEF0 modeling tool for use with general EMS for support of group modeling efforts. EMS-supported modeling efforts are compared with traditionally-supported modeling efforts. EMS support overcomes some bottlenecks inherent in the traditional approach, allowing significantly more individuals to productively participate during model development. Although previous research had demonstrated that EMS-IDEF0 tools can be used by large groups to rapidly develop some model content, the corresponding facilitation methods had produced incomplete and ambiguous models. Part of this research involved the development and evaluation of three modeling approaches for use with EMS. These produced varying levels of productivity and model quality. The most successful approach, the top-down integrated (TDI) approach, overcomes significant problems inherent in the other approaches. This approach allows analysts to work with business personnel to produce complete models approximately twice as fast as the traditional modeling approach.

Full textAbstract:
The fast growth of wireless networking and mobile computing devices has enabled us to access information from anywhere at any time. However, varying user needs and system resource constraints are two major heterogeneity factors that pose a challenge to information sharing systems. For instance, when a new information item is produced, different users may have different requirements for when the new value should become visible. The resources that each device can contribute to such information sharing applications also vary. Therefore, how to enable information sharing across computing platforms with varying resources to meet different user demands is an important problem for distributed systems research.
In this thesis, we address the heterogeneity challenge faced by such systems. We assume that shared information is encapsulated in distributed objects, and we use object replication to increase system scalability and robustness, which introduces the consistency problem. Many consistency models have been proposed in recent years but they are either too strong and do not scale very well, or too weak to meet many users' requirements. We propose a Mixed Consistency (MC) model as a solution. We introduce an access constraints based approach to combine both strong and weak consistency models together. We also propose a MC protocol that combines existing implementations together with minimum modifications. It is designed to tolerate crash failures and slow processes/communication links in the system. We also explore how the heterogeneity challenge can be addressed in the transportation layer by developing an agile dissemination protocol. We implement our MC protocol on top of a distributed publisher-subscriber middleware, Echo. We finally measure the performance of our MC implementation. The results of the experiments are consistent with our expectations. Based on the functionality and performance of mixed consistency protocols, we believe that this model is effective in addressing the heterogeneity of user requirements and available resources in distributed systems.

In response to the convenience of electronic technology and its derivatives, Taiwan introduced the electronic notification system for shareholders’ meeting by amending Article 172, and introduced the electronic voting system for shareholders’ meeting by amending Article 177-1 and 177-2 of its Company Law in 2005, to integrate technology and law. Moreover, the introduction of electronic notification and electronic voting system can effectively strengthen shareholder rights and realize the activation of shareholder function. Therefore, it is also possible to achieve the purpose of promoting shareholder activism and improving corporate governance. It can be seen that the mechanism of combining digitalization with shareholders' rights is very important. Therefore, whether the current company law has an effect on the protection of shareholders' equity for electronic notification and electronic voting is an important issue. This paper abstracts and types the elements of article related to electronic notification and electronic voting, and then summarizes them into a systematic structure. Then using the comparative research method, compare American law, Japanese law and Taiwan law. The content of the comparison focuses on the effective point, mode and procedure guarantee of the electronic notice, and the applicable subject of the electronic voting system, the exercise period of voting rights and the calculation standard of repeated voting rights. Finally, based on the results of the comparison, learn the advantages of foreign law, and propose solutions to the problems related to the electronic notification and electronic voting system in Taiwan, and hope to contribute to the development of the corporate legal system in Taiwan.

AbstractHowever, due to the complexity of natural language processing, it is difficult for electronic meeting systems (EMS) to analyze the dialog. This research introduces the conflict management model to text-based EMS to analyze the conflict status. To simplify the extraction of user dialog, sentence openers are used as the dialog facilitation tool to avoid the complexity of natural language processing. Sentence openers provide a natural way for users to identify the intention of their conversational contribution without fully understanding the significance of the underlying communicative acts. Since users have different sense of sentence openers, the fuzzy Delphi method is used to determine the assertiveness and cooperativeness indexes for all sentence openers. This research, use the feature to obtain the higher conflict topic in a meeting for matching up participants’ purpose. The meeting status analyzer use the sentence openers to extract and analyze the assertiveness and cooperativeness indexes for recognizing the group conflict status and participants the possible status. Keyword: Electronic meeting systems, Fuzzy Delphi Method, Sentence opener, Conflict management.

In this thesis, a facilitation mechanism electronic meeting system（EMS） is developed. There proposed mechanism includes four major components, intention trend tool, feature extraction component, status analyzer and agenda facilitator. By using Fuzzy Delphi algorithm, an intention vector formed from the meeting participator’s conversation is produced. After that, a hidden Markov model (HMM) is applied to examine and predict whether there are conflict situations during meeting. If conflicts are found, system will try to guide participants. Experimental results have revealed that the proposed system has performed reasonably well. Most students were satisfied with the proposed electronic meeting facilitation mechanism. By using analysis of conflict behavior, the system was aware of tester’s conflict situation. Most students agreed that the proposed system could help the meeting to reach an agreement quickly by using conflict behavior trend analysis.

Shareholder Meeting make public release of the democratic decision making process of the company. It is an important part of the corporate governance. Shareholders exercise their voting rights by actively participating by electronic voting, not only to implement the shareholder activism, but also for the company to demonstrate the importance of shareholder and the spirit of corporate governance. The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) in a issued “Corporate Governance Roadmap 2013” noted that the public disclosure of information is one of the most important part of sound corporate governance, in addition to reduce the risk of information asymmetry, also to make company subject to effective market supervision, in order to protect the interests of shareholders. In our study, we concentrate on the Taiwan’s listed companies, and we have taken the relevant samples and information, for descriptive statistical analysis, correlation coefficient and regression analysis method is being used to explore the correlation between the electronic voting in shareholder meeting and information transparency. The empirical results show: The implementation of electronic voting in shareholder meeting of the company is represents much better information than the company not implementing the electronic voting in shareholder meeting. Voluntary implementation of electronic voting in shareholder meeting represents better information transparency and is preferred, than mandatory electronic voting in shareholder meeting of the company.

This study is to investigate the impact before and after the implement of electronic voting in shareholders meeting to the financial statements bulletin. Previous literature shows that using electronic voting in shareholders meeting is the implementation of shareholder activism. The electronic voting system can also enhance shareholders voting participation rates. However, the more individual shareholders, the voting rate is relatively low. The financial statements has information content in the capital market. The market reaction is more positive for the company which announced financial statements earlier. The release timeliness of financial statements has a significant impact to enterprise and investors. This study expects that implementing electronic voting can improve the shareholders supervision effect under the shareholder activism. After the implementation of electronic voting, the financial statements will release earlier than before. The proportion of individual shareholders is higher, the effect may not be achieved. The empirical results show the company which enforcing electronic voting in shareholders meeting will release financial statement earlier than before. However, higher proportion of individual shareholder will delay to release financial statements.

Listed or OTC-listed company normally use shareholders meeting souvenirs for soliciting minor shareholders’ proxy in order to smooth the annual general meeting (AGM). Because the major shareholder’s shares are much more concentrated, those minor shareholders don’t have the influence on the AGM agenda and are willing and are used to transfer the proxies to those proxy solicitors. With the technical progress and in order to encourage the minor shareholder’s willing to participate in AGM, the authority has developed and promoted the electronic communication voting system of shareholders since 2003. But the effect is not significant. The proxy solicitation still dominated the AGM proxy voting issue. This study analyzes the behavior of listed or OTC-listed companies and minor shareholders; the affect of transaction cost; and the listed or OTC-listed companies’ willing to using the electronic communication voting system. Through the analysis, the difficulty and consideration about promoting the electronic communication voting system are presented. Discriminate Analysis method is employed in this study and the results are as follows: 1.The willing for listed or OTC-listed companies to adapt the electronic communication voting system is not affect by the government’s policy, the system setting up cost, and the internet security, except for the control of proxy. That is because the control of proxy is the most important matter those listed or OTC-listed companies concerned; therefore, the more the minor shareholders’ participant in the AGM through the electronic communication voting system, the less the control power of proxy by the proxy solicitor, usually the major shareholders who run the company. 2.For those shareholders who have the willing to transfer the proxy right to proxy solicitor, the major consideration point is whether there are souvenirs or not. The welling to use the electronic communication voting system is not affected by the transaction cost, the earlier process, the internet security, the familiar with the website interface.

With a factorial experimental design (2*2*3), this study investigatesthe effects of and the interactions among three meeting characteristics:group size, task characteristic, and anonymity. The experiment has beenconducted through a prototype of electronic meeting system developed on World Wide Web(WWW) by using college students as subjects. The results showthat the main effect of group size is most significant, that an electronic meeting system can stimulate discuss for large group, and that anonymitycan improve participation in discussion as well as overall satisfaction withdecision quality and process for sensitive issues.

Today’s organizations are becoming more and more complex and the complexity of organization’s resource management makes it difficult for individual organizations to deal effectively with decision making. There is a need to develop a collaborative approach that can facilitate strategic decision making and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of resource management. The complex environmental and organizational pressures lead to business teams distributed along the dimension of space, time and computing. Distributed teams often need to collaborate to solve complex problem together. Much needed as well is integrating into this collaborative decision-making process a computer-based GDSS to support and facilitate strategic decision making. This thesis has addressed the following research issues: (1) Can technology help improve organizations’ decision making? (2) Can type of task influence on group decision making performance? (3) Can location of meeting and synchronicity effect to the group meeting performance? The objective of this thesis include: (1) To determine the influences of task type on different meeting styles and technology. (2) To evaluate the effect of meeting location on organizations’ decision making. (3) To determine the effect of synchronicity on organizations’ decision making. (4) To compare the effectiveness of various communication technology such as chat room, discussion forum and GDSS systems Through addressing the above research objectives, this thesis has made a number of findings. Results show a direct effect of synchronicity on satisfaction with the process and outcome, which confirm media synchronicity theory. Most interestingly the interaction effects of the four independent variables are significant and show that participants most satisfaction in simple task using with synchronous CMC technology at the same place.
