Enterprise Systems Upgrade Drivers: A Technological, Organisational and Environmental Perspective

The decision to upgrade Enterprise Systems (ES) is influenced by various factors, which are either internal or external to the organisation. Although previous studies have explored these factors, the majority of these studies have focused on Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) systems only. Thus, this study through a qualitative survey design draws from the expertise of 41 respondents represent...

Evaluation of recommender systems: A multi-criteria decision making approach

The evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. This difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. As such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

Random selection of citizens for technological decision making

Technological Support for Decision Making in a Safety Critical Environment

In this paper, we explore the characteristics of a safety critical domain, that of Air Traffic Control, and discuss the possible impact of new technology on safety levels. Based on insights derived from ethnographic methods, we argue it is through the organisation of working practices as a teamwork activity, rather than through any technological fail-safe, that safety in the airways is currentl...

Multiple systems in decision making.

Neuroeconomics seeks to gain a greater understanding of decision making by combining theoretical and methodological principles from the fields of psychology, economics, and neuroscience. Initial studies using this multidisciplinary approach have found evidence suggesting that the brain may be employing multiple levels of processing when making decisions, and this notion is consistent with dual-...
