Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a new benchmarking framework on the factors that influence digital library (DL) adoption by aligning them with the constructs of DL models to establish the likely critical success factors (CSFs) for DL implementation. Design/methodology/approach Concept mapping is used to illustrate the relationship between the information systems success model and DL frameworks. Technology organisation and environment (TOE) framework was chosen as the central theme and was mapped with the three DL frameworks reviewed (5S framework; the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture and the DELOS DL reference model) to come up with the likely success dimensions for DLs. A set of possible success factors was assembled from the literature on previous studies relating to factors that are critical to the success of information systems and DLs. The description of each DL potential success factors was finally developed as an item statement with verification from the literature review. Findings A total of 53 success factors items were assembled from literature represented by the final ten constructs of the CSFs; 16 items characterise DL technology, 13 items denote DL organisation and 24 items symbolise DL environment. Findings show that these factors may be good determinants for an effective implementation of DLs. Research limitations/implications The outcome can positively influence the implementation of DLs worldwide. Originality/value This is the first study in library science that incorporates TOE with DL frameworks to come up with the success factors of DL implementation.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to empirically explore the effects and interaction effect of human resources and digital manufacturing technologies (DMTs) on supply chain integration (SCI) and how their roles are influenced by competition.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, this study builds and tests a holistic model based on the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) project database.FindingsThe results show that human resources and DMTs have significant positive effects on three dimensions of SCI. Competition positively moderates the effects of human resources on customer integrations, negatively moderates the effects of human resource on internal integration, but does not moderate the effects of human resources on supplier integration. Besides, the moderating effect of competition has not been found in the relationships between DMTs and three SCI dimensions.Originality/valueBy investigating the effects of human resources and DMTs on SCI practices in the context of competition, this study contributes to the literature on SCI, DMTs and the TOE framework as well as offers practical insights that help manufacturing firms to promote SCI more effectively and efficiently.

Full textAbstract:
Financial technology or “FinTech” is an amalgam of the use of technology for financial transactions and processes. Fintech adoption for business processes by small businesses largely remains unexplored in the context of emerging markets. This study was conducted during late 2018 using a sample of 117 owner and managers of small businesses in India, for exploring the fintech adoption through the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework. The method applied for data analysis was partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). It was found that perceived direct benefits of fintech had a significant effect on fintech adoption. Counter-intuitively, the perceived cost of fintech adoption was not a significant factor in fintech adoption. These results have significant managerial and academic relevance for understanding fintech adoption agenda of small businesses in the emerging markets.

Blockchain technology (BCT) has been gaining popularity due to its benefits for almost every industry. However, despite its benefits, the organizational adoption of BCT is rather limited. This lack of uptake motivated us to identify the factors that influence the adoption of BCT from an organizational perspective. In doing this, we reviewed the BCT literature, interviewed BCT experts, and proposed a research model based on the TOE framework. Specifically, we theorized the role of technological (perceived benefits, compatibility, information transparency, and disintermediation), organizational (organization innovativeness, organizational learning capability, and top management support), and environmental (competition intensity, government support, trading partners readiness, and standards uncertainty) factors in the organizational adoption of BCT in Australia. We confirmed the model with a sample of adopters and potential adopter organizations in Australia. The results show a significant role of the proposed factors in the organizational adoption of BCT in Australia. Additionally, we found that the relationship between the influential factors and BCT adoption is moderated by “perceived risks”. The study extends the TOE framework by adding factors that were ignored in previous studies on BCT adoption, such as perceived information transparency, perceived disintermediation, organizational innovativeness, organizational learning capability, and standards uncertainty.

Full textAbstract:
Big data is rapidly being seen as a new frontier for improving organizational performance. However, it is still in its early phases of implementation in developing countries’ healthcare organizations. As data-driven insights become critical competitive advantages, it is critical to ascertain which elements influence an organization’s decision to adopt big data. The aim of this study is to propose and empirically test a theoretical framework based on technology–organization–environment (TOE) factors to identify the level of readiness of big data adoption in developing countries’ healthcare organizations. The framework empirically tested 302 Malaysian healthcare employees. The structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data. The results of the study demonstrated that technology, organization, and environment factors can significantly contribute towards big data adoption in healthcare organizations. However, the complexity of technology factors has shown less support for the notion. For technology practitioners, this study showed how to enhance big data adoption in healthcare organizations through TOE factors.

Full textAbstract:
This study reviews literature on mobile banking adoption in organizations to identify its influential factors and its operationalization in prior literature. We classify the factors that influence mobile banking adoption using the three contexts suggested by the Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE) framework, namely, technology, organization, and environment. The finding suggests that the influences of these factors vary across studies and most of the studies have operationalized mobile banking adoption using intention to adopt mobile banking or binary variable, rather than the actual use of the technology.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Bygg- och anläggningsbranschen är en bransch som bland annat bygger ut bredband. I Sverige, såväl som inom EU, har omfattande mål satts för bredbandsutbyggnad inom de närmsta åren. Detta ställer krav på branschen, specifikt att de måste digitaliseras för att kunna effektivisera sitt arbete, vilket de fått kritik för att ha varit långsamma med. Detta fenomen undersöks i denna studie genom att iaktta anammandet ett digitalt verktyg utifrån TOEramverket. Det är ett ramverk som är lämpat för att analysera vad som motiverar implementering och anammande av en ny teknologi. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att bidra med ökad förståelse för bolag verksamma inom anläggning vad gäller implementering och anammande av digitala verktyg, utifrån en teknologisk, organisatorisk och miljömässig kontext. Därför vill studien undersöka vad som motiverat bolag som jobbar med anläggningsverksamhet att implementera och anamma en ny teknologi. Metod: Studien omfattas av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod, interpretivistisk lins och abduktiv ansats. Studiens urval har tillämpats med hjälp av ett bekvämlighetsurval och snöbollsurval med fokus på respondenter som har en högre position i sin organisation. Datainsamling görs genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med flera fallföretag aktiva inom branschen, och data har analyserats genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Slutsats: Studien kan utifrån resultatet av den diskussion som förs i analysavsnittet visa att de faktorerna som ingått i TOE-ramverket påverkar anammande och implementering av teknologi i bolag verksamma inom anläggning. De faktorer som identifierat som spelar roll för en påverkan är: upplevda direkta och indirekta fördelar, komplexitet, kompatibilitet, organisatorisk beredskap, teknologisk beredskap, organisatoriskt stöd, upplevd press från branschen, upplevd press från handelspartners och upplevd press från konsumenter. Slutligen har ett antal nya faktorer identifierats som betydande i anammande- och implementeringsprocessen: nationell kultur, ålder, upplevda direkta nackdelar och indirekta nackdelarBackground: The construction industry is an industry that, among other areas, construct and develop broadband infrastructure. In Sweden, as well as within the EU, extensive goals have been set for broadband expansion in the next few years. This places a demand on the industry, specifically that they must digitize in order to increase efficiency, which is something that the industry has been criticized for. This study investigates this phenomenon by observing the adoption of a digital tool, based on the TOE framework. This is a framework that is suitable for analyzing what motivates firms to adopt new technology. Purpose: The aim of the study is to contribute an increased understanding of construction firms regarding the implementation and adoption of digital tools, based on a technological, organizational and environmental context. Therefore, the study wants to describe what motivated these construction companies to implement and adopt a new technology. Methodology: The study uses a qualitative research method, interpretivistic lens and abductive approach. The study's sample was selected using a convenience sample and snowball sample, focusing on respondents who have a higher position in their organization. The data collection is done through semi-structured interviews with several case companies active in the industry, and data has been analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. Conclusion: Based on the results of the discussion in the analysis section, the study can show that the factors included in the TOE framework affect the adoption and implementation of technology in firms in the construction industry. The factors identified that play a role in influencing are: perceived direct and indirect benefits, complexity, compatibility, financial readiness, technological readiness, organizational support, perceived pressure from the industry, perceived pressure by partners and perceived pressure from consumers. Finally, in the empirical material and subsequently in the analysis section, new factors that have been identified as affecting the adoption and implementation process have emerged: national culture, age, perceived direct disadvantages and indirect disadvantages.

Full textAbstract:
Manufacturers have been hesitant to adopt Internet of things (IoT) due to a lack of understanding about the innovate characteristics, technology, organizational and environmental factors related to IoT adoption and how their organizations can apply IoT correctly. This quantitative, correlational study used a combination of diffusion of innovation theory and technology–organization–environment framework as the foundation to examine if a relationship exists between relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, technology readiness, top management support, firm size, competitive pressure, and regulatory support and IT leaders' intent to adopt IoT in U.S. manufacturing organizations. A sample of 168 information technology (IT) leaders from the U.S. manufacturing sectors was used. Multiple regression analysis indicated significant relationships between the intent to adopt IoT by IT leaders of manufacturing organizations and only 3 of the 8 independent variables: technology readiness, top management support, and competitive pressure. The model was able to predict approximately 44% of the variation of IT leaders' intent to adopt IoT. The results of this study might help IT leaders in the U.S. manufacturing sectors understand the factors that influence IoT adoption. The findings from this study might contribute to positive social change by contributing to economic growth that results from increased efficiency gained from the adoption of IoT in key business areas.

Full textAbstract:
Aldrig förr har vi konsumerat så mycket som nu och konsumenterna ställer hela tiden krav på högre kvalitet till lägre pris, samtidigt som kostnader för arbetskraft, energi och material ständigt ökar. För att bemöta kundernas behov används olika produktionssystem. Lean production är ett sådant produktionssystem och inkluderar en mängd uppsättning praktiska verktyg, men också en filosofi byggd på engagemang, kunskap, team-känsla och ledarskap. Lean är något många företag eftersträvar att införa, men studier visar att mindre än 20% lyckas att införa hela Leans koncept. Det är främst de mjuka delarna av Lean (filosofin) som företagen har svårast att implementera, vilket innebär att Lean i många fall reduceras till en verktygslåda. I denna studie har Lean-implementationen på ett fallföretag studerats. Fallföretaget införde Lean i samband med ”Produktionslyftet” år 2007 i syfte att effektivisera processer och bemöta hårdnande konkurrens. Ett antal intervjuer har genomförts med både produktions-personal och personer i ledande befattning. För att synliggöra individens roll i införandet och anammandet av Lean har en ny undersökningsmodell tagits fram för att analysera empirin och som utgår från ramverket för teknik, organisation och miljö, TOE, men där influensen av miljö har ersatts av influensen av individ, TOI. Den teoretiska undersöknings-modellen är undersökarens bidrag till forskningen. Resultatet av studien visar på att fallföretaget är ett klassiskt exempel på ett företag som lyckats väl med att införa de tekniska verktygen av Lean och att verksamheten fungerar mycket bättre idag än före införandet av Lean. Fallföretaget har ökat leveranssäkerheten och omsättningen men samtidigt minskat på produktionsytan och producerar ändå mer på samma tid. Däremot har fallföretaget inte lika tydligt implementerat de mjuka beståndsdelarna av Lean, det vill säga själva filosofin. Undersökningsmodellen TOI lyfter här fram verksamhetens karaktär, en hierarkisk och toppstyrd organisation, som en möjlig faktor till varför de mjuka beståndsdelarna inte har fått fäste. Modellen visar även att individen inte integrerar och samspelar med de influenser som borde skapa Lean. Samspelet mellan individ och ledning (organisation) ses som väsentliga för att uppnå de mjuka beståndsdelarna. För att få Leans hela koncept måste det finnas ett samspel och förbindelse mellan TOI modellens tre influenser; teknik, organisation och individ. Alla delarna är lika viktiga för att hela Lean ska få fäste. Detta är en möjlig anledning till varför det är mindre än 20% av Lean-projekteten som misslyckas med att implementera Leans hela koncept.Never before have we consumed as much as now and customers are constantly demanding higher quality at a lower price, while at the same time costs are increasing for labour, energy and materials. Different production systems are used to meet customer needs. Lean production is such a production system and includes a variety of practical tools but also a philosophy based on commitment, knowledge, team spirit and leadership. Lean is something many companies strive to introduce, but studies shows that less than 20% succeed in introducing the entire Lean concept. It’s mainly the soft parts of Lean (the philosophy) that companies have most difficulty to implement, which means that in many cases Lean is reduced to a toolbox. This study is about the Lean implementation in a case company. The case company introduced Lean through its participation in the "Produktionslyftet" in 2007 with the aim of streamlining processes and responding to toughening competition. A number of interviews have been carried out with both production staff and senior executives. In order to highlight the individual's role in the introduction and adoption of Lean, a research model has been developed to analyse the empirical data, which is based on the framework for technology, organization and environment, TOE, but where the influence of environment has been replaced by the influence of the individual, TOI. The theoretical survey model is the investigator's contribution to the science. The result of the study shows that the case company is a classic example of a company that has succeeded well in introducing the technical tools of Lean and that the operation works much better today than before the introduction of Lean. The case company has increased the delivery reliability and sales but at the same time decreased the production area and still produces more at the same time allotted. However, the case company has not as clearly implemented the soft elements of Lean, that is, the philosophy itself. The survey model TOI highlights the nature of the business, a hierarchical and top-down organization, as a possible factor why the soft components have not been attached. The model also shows that the individual does not integrate and interact with the influences that should create Lean. The interaction between individual and management (organization) are seen as essential for achieving the soft components. In order to get the whole concept of Lean, there must be an interaction and connection between the three influences of the TOI model; technology, organization and individual. All parts are equally important for the whole of Lean to get attached. This is a possible reason why there are less than 20% of Lean projects that fail to implement the entire Lean concept.

Det svenska sjukvårdssystemet är konstant under hög press och situationen benämns ofta i media som en sjukvårdskris. Radiologin är en av de medicinska discipliner som drabbats av en kontinuerligt ökande arbetsbelastning och personalbrist. Detta sätter sjukvården i en situation att konstant tvingas väga effektivitet mot kvalitet. Trots höga förväntningar på att innovationer som Artificiell Intelligens (AI) ska kunna bistå behoven, används AI idag i en mycket begränsad utsträckning. Denna studie syftar till att utreda påverkande faktorer för införandet av AI inom radiologin. För att besvara arbetets forskningsfråga har HA Adoption-Decision Model, en modifierad version av det väletablerade Technology-Organization-Environment Framework (TOE), tillämpats. Ramverket innefattar tre kontexter; teknologisk, organisatorisk och extern kontext. Varje kontexts delaspekter, så kallade faktorer, följer under respektive kontext. Dessa tio faktorer utvärderades för att besvara studiens forskningsfråga om vilka faktorer som har störst påverkan på införande av AI inom radiologi. Genom att förena tidigare forskning med resultatet från sex intervjuer visade sig affärsvärde , strategisk lämplighet , ledningsstöd och reglering av datahantering ha störst påverkan. Avslutningsvis presenteras ett förslag om att introducera en elfte faktor, IT-mognad, till ramverket.

Full textAbstract:
In the wake of a digitally transforming environment, public sector organizations are realizingthe necessity to adopt new ways of managing their operations. The changing expectations anddemands of citizens and stakeholders are triggering such organizations to develop their deliveryof services, as well as digitally transforming their internal processes. As the public sector valuesservice delivery and cost-effectiveness, cloud services have become an attractive option to transition to, due to their flexible and economical characteristics. This qualitative study examines two Swedish municipalities in their transition to cloud services, studying the reasons behind said transition, and how those affect their adoption. The Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework was utilized to evaluate the factors affecting the two organizations’ transitions and adoptions of cloud services, showcasing a connection between the framework’s elements and the analyzed results. The findings show pressure coming from both external and internal sources, restrictions involving governmental regulations and lack ofavailability, as well as how they manage these challenges, by finding new ways to innovate and preparing their organizations for future transitions.

Full textAbstract:
Doutoramento em GestãoMobile business is expected to create a large spectrum of business opportunities. Although much research has been developed in this field, most of the existing m-business literature focuses on the customer’s adoption factors rather than assessing the value or the impact of m-business to firms. The present study fills this gap in the literature through the analysis of the value m-business can provide to the firms, as well as the impact of m-business on the firm’s performance. The Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory and the Resource-Base View (RBV) theory ground this research’s conceptual model for assessing the value of mobile business on an organizational context. According to the conceptual model proposed, there are several factors that may affect m-business use and value: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, technology competence; technology integration, firm size, financial resources, competition intensity, partner pressure and mobile environment. The value of m-business is proposed to be a second order formative construct comprising the impact on marketing and sales dimensions, the impact on internal operations dimensions, and the impact on procurement dimensions. This study develops and validates an instrument to assess m-business usage and value based on data of 111 marketing and information systems professionals. The measurement and structural models are than tested using structural equation modeling as implemented in Smart PLS with data collected via a questionnaire administered to the 400 largest Portuguese organizations. Results show that firm size, financial resources and complexity, are not among the factors that are antecedents of m-business usage. Additionally, going towards our results from the interviews, the impact on procurement dimension is less significant than the impact on the marketing and sales and internal operations dimensions.
O negócio móvel (m-business) permite a criação de um amplo espectro de novas oportunidades de negócio. Embora muita investigação esteja a ser desenvolvida nesta área, a maioria da literatura existente sobre o m-business centra-se em fatores de adopção ao nível do indivíduo, e não avalia o valor ou o impacto do m-business para as organizações. O presente estudo pretende colmatar esta lacuna existente na literatura através da análise do valor que o mbusiness pode proporcionar às empresas, bem como o seu impacto no desempenho das mesmas. O modelo teórico da Tecnologia-Organização-Ambiente (TOE), a teoria da Difusão de Inovação (DOI) e a teoria baseada nos recursos (RBV) fundamentam o desenvolvimento do modelo conceptual desta dissertação para avaliar o valor do negócio móvel no contexto organizacional. De acordo com o modelo conceptual proposto, há vários factores que podem afectar o uso e valor do m-business: as vantagens relativas, a compatibilidade, a complexidade, a competência tecnológica, a integração da tecnologia, a dimensão da empresa, os recursos financeiros, a intensidade da concorrência, a pressão dos parceiros de negócio e o ambiente móvel. O conceito de valor de m-business é proposto ser um constructo formativo de segunda ordem compreendendo o impacto sobre marketing e vendas, o impacto sobre as operações internas, e o impacto sobre as compras. Este estudo desenvolve e valida um instrumento para avaliar o uso e valor do m-business com base em dados empíricos de 111 profissionais de marketing e sistemas de informação. Os modelos de medida e estrutural são testados utilizando modelos de equações estruturais, conforme implementado no Smart PLS com dados recolhidos através de um questionário aplicado às 400 maiores organizações Portuguesas. Os resultados mostram que o tamanho da empresa, os seus recursos financeiros e a complexidade da inovação, não estão entre os factores que são antecedentes do uso do m-business. Além disso, indo ao encontro dos resultados das entrevistas exploratórias, o impacto nas dimensões a montante é menos significativo do que o impacto sobre o marketing e vendas e sobre as operações internas.

Since 1995, with the implementation of National Health Insurance, hospitals in Taiwan become more and more competitive. Information technology becomes one of the strategic tools to achieve competitive advantage. Besides, with the development of cloud computing, it becomes new platform for hospital information systems. However, cloud computing is novel for hospitals. More comprehensive understanding toward establish this infrastructure successfully is critical for hospital. Therefore, the purpose of this research is attempted to understand the critical factors for hospital to adopt cloud computing. First, previous related researches about innovative IT adoption in organizations and hospital were reviewed and summarized. Next, Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and Human-Organization-Technology (HOT-fit) model were integrated to understand this issue. Third, three representative cases in Taiwan are analyzed. Finally, based on the results of above works, this study proposes a comprehensive research model to understand the critical factors for cloud computing adoption in Taiwan hospitals. This research model includes four constructs (human, technology, hospital and environment) and twelve variables. By employing a questionnaire research design and the research samples are the CIO of Taiwan hospitals. Finally, 89 usable questionnaires were returned, for a valid return rate of approximately 53.29%. The result of data analysis indicates that the top five critical factors for adopting cloud computing are security, technical competence, cost, top management support and complexity. Additionally, this study also finds that the critical factors were various between different hospital levels, hospital attributes, and cloud computing development status. For hospital levels, there exists significant differences between metropolitan hospitals and local community hospitals in the IS staff technical competence. For hospital attributes, there exist significant differences across private, public and foundation hospitals in the CIO innovativeness. Finally, from the perspective of the cloud computing development status, the results show that significant differences exist in IS staff technical competence, adequate resource, cost, internal need, and perceived industry pressure across different adopting groups. For practitioners, this study identifies key factors for hospitals to make an adoption decision toward cloud computing technology. As for academia, this study applies previous theories in the context of cloud computing and thus, can be provided as a useful reference for future studies in this subject field.

Dissertation presented as partial requirement for obtaining the Master’s degree in Statistics and Information Management, with specialization in Market research and CRMCustomer relationship management (CRM) is the technique presented in this study that enables organizations, to know and to better understand their customers’ needs, treating each them differently. CRM improves the organization’s ability to interact with their customers and to build a competitive advantage, which is continuing to receive considerable attention from scholars and business context. However, a review of Literature indicates that there is a lack of research related to CRM adoption stages. To fill this gap, this study presents a conceptual model to examine the antecedents, at the firm level, in technology-organization-environment contexts (TOE) framework, which affects CRM adoption stages (i.e. intention, adoption, and routinization). Data collected from 277 companies, are used to test the conceptual model. “Partial least squares” (PLS) is the technique used to examine the related hypotheses. The findings and contributions of the study are presented.
O CRM é a técnica presente neste estudo, que permite às empresas conhecer e compreender melhor as necessidades dos clientes, abordando cada um deles de forma diferente. O CRM vai melhorar a capacidade de interação das empresas com os seus clientes, e desenvolver vantagem competitiva. É uma ferramenta que continua a ter influência para os estudantes e organizações. No entanto, tendo em conta a revisão da literatura há uma carência de estudos sobre os estágios de adoção do CRM. Para colmatar esta falha, o nosso estudo apresenta um modelo conceptual, em que relaciona fatores do contexto tecnológico, organizacional e do meio envolvente (TOE), com os estágios de adoção do CRM - iniciação, adoção e implementação, nas organizações. Foi recolhida informação proveniente de 277 empresas para testar o modelo conceptual. A técnica estatística Partial Least Square (PLS) é o método utilizado para testar as hipóteses. Os resultados e contributos do estudo serão apresentados.

Dissertation presented as partial requirement for obtaining the Master’s degree in Information Management, with a specialization in Marketing IntelligenceBI systems have been largely used as a way to support decision-making and increase competitive advantage between large firms. Studies using adoption theories turned out to be useful to understand the adoption of BI systems in such organizations. However, among SME’s the research on the theme it is still scarce as the adoption of BI is not a certainty. Even though cloud BI solutions emerged as a suitable solution for SME’s, there is a lack of studies focusing on its adoption. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature and access the determinant factors to the adoption of cloud BI in SMEs. We propose a conceptual model based on the combination of two prominent adoption theories at the firm level: diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory, and the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework. Data collected from 203 SMEs were analyzed using the PLS-SEM method. Results of the data analysis showed that the variables relative advantage, complexity and top management support are significant to the adoption of cloud BI in SMEs. This study offers insights to SMEs’ managers, BI vendors, and IT/IS scholars.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of context is a cornerstone of a large part of social science research, particularly in organization and management studies, yet it has received little theoretical and methodological attention in lieu of its relevance. This book offers a definition of context as a theoretical construct, a discussion of the methodological implications of this, and a framework for how to reflect upon and operationalize the role of context in the different stages of a research process, from formulating research questions to analyzing and writing about results. The chapters presented here integrate lessons derived from various research experiences across the complex and dynamic field of health care. Contributors share their experiences with theorizing about and empirically studying significant organizational phenomena such as implementation of policy, organizational change, integration of care, patient involvement, human-technology interactions in practice, and the interplay between work environment and care outcomes in eldercare. These contributions exemplify how a nuanced approach to context might unfold in different fields, through different designs, methods, and analytical lenses. Relevant to researchers and practitioners, within both healthcare, organization and management studies, and the social sciences more broadly, this book leaves the reader with a practical framework from which to carry out contextual research and analysis and a gain deeper understanding of the significance of context in organizational life.

Full textAbstract:
Motivated by the need to understand the underlying antecedents of RFID adoption in retail, this study proposes and tests a framework predicting RFID adoption intent. Based on the TOE (technology-organization-environment) framework, this research develops and validates the research framework to examine the influence of twelve contextual factors under four broad categories (technological, organizational, environmental, and value-chain) on RFID adoption in retail. A structured study instrument is developed to measure these variables and data are collected from 74 experts spread across different business associations through Delphi technique. Multivariate discriminant analysis (MDA) is used to develop the conceptual framework for RFID adoption. The results indicate that relative advantage, competitive pressure, catalyst agent, and value chain complexity are significant determinants of RFID adoption in retail. It suggests that environmental characteristics are very important to be considered in RFID adoption studies along with technological and value chain characteristics.

Grounded in the technology–organization–environment (TOE) framework, we have developed an extended model to examine factors, particularly technological, organizational and environmental factors, which influence e-banking adoption in Jordanian banks. This article added some constructs to (TOE) framework, other factors were excluded. The independent variables are the (technology readiness or competence, bank size, financial resources commitment, IT/Business strategy alignment, adequacy of IT professionals, availability of online revenues, competition intensity or pressure, and regulatory support environment) while e-banking usage constitutes the dependent variable. Our empirical analysis demonstrates several key findings related to the technological, organizational, and environmental aspects of the banks. This article can help further understanding of their role in the adoption of e-banking and examines the impacts of e-banking usage on banks’ performance in terms of sales-services-marketing, internal operations and coordination & communication. This could enable greater e-banking usage that could improve the overall economy.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) trail large organizations in leveraging IT systems. SMEs are beginning to understand the significance of implementing IT systems like ERP for improving their preparedness in business processes. Hence the objective of this research article is to develop a framework to analyse SME's organizational preparedness for implementing the technology. This research applies a General Morphological Analysis (GMA) framework to explore suitable models and variables for IT change preparedness to realize the benefits of ERP implementation in SMEs. An SMEs drawback in implementing IT tools is specifically due to a lack of knowledge and an acute shortage of resources like investment and manpower. The review of literature in this article using general morphological analysis is novel for ERP implementation in the SME sector. Based on the review of articles, a morphology with a technology organization framework and environment (TOE) framework which evaluates technological, organizational and environment is most adequate to understand the IT readiness for ERP among SMEs.

Full textAbstract:
[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2019 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 16] Aim/Purpose: Bring your own device (BYOD) provides opportunities for both the organization and employees, but the adoption of BYOD also introduces risks. This case study of an organization’s BYOD program identifies key positive and negative influences on the adoption decision. Background: The consumerization of IT introduced the BYOD phenomenon into the enterprise environment. As mobile and Internet technologies improve employees are opting to use their personal devices to access organizational systems to perform their work tasks. Such devices include smartphones, tablets and laptop computers. Methodology: This research uses a case study approach to investigate how business priorities drive the adoption of BYOD and how resulting benefits and risks are realized and managed by the organization. Primary empirical data was collected using semi-structured interviews with 15 senior employees from a large South African financial services organization. Policy documents from the organization were analyzed as secondary data. Contribution: Thematic analysis of the data revealed six major themes: improving employee mobility; improving client service and experience; creating a competitive industry advantage; improving business processes; information security risks; and management best practices. Findings: The themes were analyzed using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, showing the key positive and negative influences on the adoption decision. Recommendations for Practitioners: Organizations need to clearly understand the reasons they want to introduce BYOD in their organizations. The conceptual framework can be applied by practitioners in their organizations to achieve their BYOD business objectives. Recommendations for Researchers: BYOD remains an important innovation for organizations with several aspects worthy of further study. The TOE framework presents a suitable lens for analysis, but other models should also be considered. Impact on Society: The findings show that organizations can use BYOD to improve client service, gain competitive advantage, and improve their processes using their digital devices and backend systems. The BYOD trend is thus not likely to go away anytime soon. Future Research: The applicability of findings should be validated across additional contexts. Additional models should also be used.

Full textAbstract:
We propose a framework for Design Roadmapping that parallels existing product roadmapping and technology roadmapping processes. It leverages three needs we have observed in organizations as they use existing roadmapping processes: (1) to focus on development of customer and user experiences, not just on features; (2) to increase engagement of designers early in the planning process; and (3) to provide a means for rapidly responding to changes in the environment. Design Roadmapping is an attempt to reconcile differences that arise when customer/user needs are not considered simultaneously with technology choices. The proposed Design Roadmapping process assists project prioritization and selection. The process aggregates design experience elements along a timeline that associates key user needs with the products, services and/or systems the organization wishes to deliver. To illustrate the Design Roadmapping process, we conducted a case study in which we applied the Design Roadmapping process to projects undertaken by a large corporation’s innovation lab located in research centers in San Francisco and Mountain View, California, in partnership with corporate stakeholders located in Asia. The five-step Design Roadmapping procedure is provided along with detailed information. The decisions from the Design Roadmapping process have been incorporated into the company’s commercial plans. Key findings in this corporate case study bolster the positive impact of the Design Roadmapping in moving strategic thinking from a technology/feature-driven process to one that is design/experience-driven. It shows how firms might weigh choices between user needs, design principles and technological innovation.

Full textAbstract:
BIM uses are complex specific processes in architecture, engineering, construction, and operation mediated by Building Information Modeling technologies. Several initiatives are dedicated to detailing these uses in a standardized way, enumerating and describing them in terms of scope, benefits, process maps, required competencies, associated technology, and theoretical framework. Examples of these efforts are Penn State's Computer Integrated Construction Research Program (MESSNER et al., 2019), buildingSMART (2021), and BIM Excellence Organization (SUCCAR; SALEEB; SHER, 2016). This study presents the approach to educate, evaluate and assist Model Uses using templates (Model Use Templates - MUT) of the BIM Excellence Initiative (BIMe). The BIM use is called Model Use in BIMe terminology. In three years, starting in 2021, the initiative intends to detail all the domain model uses listed by the organization (BIMe, 2020). The domain model uses are organized in the series of capture and representation, planning and design, simulation and quantification, operation and maintenance, monitoring and control of buildings and infrastructures. In terms of domain model uses, there is the linking and extending series of BIM integrated to Facility Management, interfaced with the Internet of Things, linked to Enterprise Resource Planning, etc. The initiative developed a Construction Domain Model Use Template (MUT) and applied it as a demonstration for Clash Detection or MUT 4040. This summary will describe the template, its application to Clash Detection, and guidance on how to transform it into a template class to teach Clash Detection with BIM. The MUT consists of an extended description, software list, activity flow, and bibliography. This content is available in the BIM Dictionary associated with the equivalent term (https://bimdictionary.com/en/clash-detection/1). The extended description includes the corresponding term's definition, the detailed description, purpose, and an available online media-list. The detailed description presents the different types of use (e.g., hard, soft, time-based) and benefits. The software list lists platforms and environments used in the model use development. For each platform or environment, there is a list of the vendor or developer, the corresponding technical functionality, the applicable discipline, the software description, the availability of the software in the cloud or location, differentiation of versions, the link to the official website, the model use code that the software can support, specific functionalities associated with the use and availability of a plugin or extension. The activity flow is described using a process map and details in up to 3 hierarchical levels for each macro activity. All the terminology adopted in the MUT is semantically aligned to the various projects and initiatives of BIM Excellence, bringing consistency to the meaning. In the case of MUT 4040, that is, the application of the template for the model use of Clash Detection, the short description is a “Use of the Model representing the use of 3D Models to coordinate different disciplines (e.g., structures and air-conditioning) and to identify/resolve possible conflicts between virtual elements prior to actual construction or fabrication”. The extended description presents the Clash Detection as automated or semi-automated procedures to identify design errors in 3D models, where objects occupy the same space or are too close to violating spatial restrictions. Time-based interferences are conflicts involving temporary objects that compete for the same space at the same time. The benefits are listed, for example, like better project coordination and quality; conflict reduction in the workplace; acceleration of design and delivery processes; and cost reduction through productivity increase. The available online media does not represent the entire process involved in Clash Detection and are generally restricted to confronting models on specific platforms. We advocate that the activity flow should structure the class of model uses in BIM education. In this way, there is a holistic and representative approach to practice. Thus, we advise escaping this model's understanding in a restricted and instrumental way, as it already occurs in most of the online media found. We propose to organize the class program by the macro stages of the activity flow, covering: (i) creation of the strategy for the clash detection in the project in question; (ii) preparation of specific models for federation; (iii) identification of federation environments or model integration; (iv) federation or integration of models; (v) checks for interference in the federated or integrated model; (vi) analysis of the conflicts identified; and (vii) referral to conflict resolution. The details of each of these activities in the template can guide the teacher on how to proceed or prepare educational content. The bibliography listed in the template covers the theoretical framework to support the class in terms of books, scientific articles, and BIM guides. One can develop the class at the level of graduation, extension, or continuing education. Being an undergraduate class, it can be mandatory or elective. Items (i) to (iii) make up the theoretical part of the class, and the rest are essentially practical content. Thus, two types of competency assessment are possible: knowledge and skills. Knowledge can be developed through discussions and seminars. Skills covered are associated with execution or domain skills, according to Succar, Scher, and Willams (2013). Execution skills are associated with learning model verification platforms and collaboration environments. The execution competence generates an instrumental skill that can be provided through individual online training with tutorials. Domain skills are essentially technical (analysis and simulation) and functional (collaboration). These skills must be instigated in a participatory and collaborative way in practical exercises involving cycles of verification of the federated model and adjustments of complementary projects' models. As a suggestion for support material, the teacher should prepare a dataset including models with errors in file naming disobeying conventions, errors in the control elements impacting the overlapping of models, errors of omission or duplication of elements in the models, and errors of data schema in terms of categorization of elements and classification of content. The models must also include issues of all types (hard, soft, and temporal interferences). Errors must be plausible to be identified by different types of verification: visual or script.
