This study attempt to find the motivation of ERP implementation based on the principal-agent theory. From the view of information resource sharing and communication, which is a critical characteristic of ERP, this paper investigates whether the decision of ERP implementation is affected by the principal-agent mechanism. Method study used economics technology to design an empirical study based o...

We analyze how performance metrics that contain the same information a ect actual decisions. We consider two such metrics from inventory management, days of supply and inventory turn rate, where one is the inverse of the other. We argue that individuals tend to assess performance based on the metrics as opposed to the fundamental attributes that actually matter and develop behavioral models tha...

The term Enterprise Simulation (ES) is gaining acceptance among simulation practitioners. It is coming to represent certain tangible attributes, and its benefits seem apparent in providing a top-down perspective in system analysis. It is envisioned as the next wave of simulation applications that may bring simulation to a higher ground of applicability in the business application arena. ES does...

A The evolutionary process in general, and human evolution in particular, are basic to comprehending Homo sapiens. Human evolutionary heritage predisposes human behaviour, and that is what all management systems (including Total Quality Management) seek to affect via training, coordination, and motivation. The evidence of behavioural biology and evolutionary psychology points to two huma...

Building on existing research on employee mobility, this paper investigates an inventor?s motivation to move and seeks to answer the question of which inventors move. This paper builds on behavioral and prospect theory, particularly, on the literature on managerial risk taking in order to explore the motivational influences on individual mobility across firms in the pharmaceutical industry spec...

This paper extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to study acceptance and use of technology in a consumer context. Our proposed UTAUT2 incorporates three constructs into UTAUT: hedonic motivation, price value, and habit. Individual differences—namely, age, gender, and experience—are hypothesized to moderate the effects of these constructs on behavioral intention ...

Brazilian companies are increasingly turning to Web-based corporate training by virtue of the fact that they need to train their employees within tight budget constraints in a country of continental dimensions. However, most of these companies do not know what the critical success factors in these endeavors are. Therefore, this article seeks to investigate some key success factors associated wi...

Self-directed work teams (SDWTs) often result from reengineering and process innovation efforts as well as recent movements to `downsize', or ` ̄atten' organizations. Information systems (IS) departments have not been insulated from these trends. In spite of the rising interest in these teams, little is known about them in knowledge work settings like IS. Past research in blue-collar contexts su...

Existing research on knowledge repositories has largely focused on supply-side driven research questions, such as employee motivation to contribute knowledge. This research turns attention to the demand-side issue of knowledge usage. Using the Information Systems (IS) success framework (DeLone and McLean 2003), this research theorizes knowledge quality as an important antecedent to knowledge us...
