Many lash in the organization require organization-wide support. This support may be inform of data, model, took or people. A “‘seamless” communication environment is needed to./acilitate this support. This paper discusses macro issues involved in the development of an Organization Decision Support System (ODSS). Spectjkal!v, we address issues like; whatfactors needs to be considered in develop...

We present a case study of an innovative, technology-supported approach taken within the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University for the launch of a new Accounting MBA (AMBA) degree. The ne program is proactive by treating the pending 150 credithour requirement as an opportunity for major technology infusion and competitive differentiation among graduate accounting programs. The purpose...

:he "T term• in the longitudinal stressequilibrium equation for glacier mechanics, a double y-integral of fJT xylfJx where x is a longitudinal coordinate and y is roughfy normal to the ice surface, can be evaluated within the framework of longitudinal flow-coupling theory by linking the local shear stress T at any depth to the local shear stres~ T 8 at the base, whi~h is determmed by the theory...

Multi-channel information systems involve data redundancy, which, in turn, requires the implementation of synchronization mechanisms among overlapping databases. This need for periodic data realignment causes data quality issues related to delays in data updates, which can vary across databases and corresponding channels and services. Outof-date data reduce the overall currency of databases and...

TECHNOLOGY HAS ENABLED RESEARCHERS in unions, trade groups, and professional organizations to shift in focus toward using information and away from collection and distribution. The expansion of the Internet and online database services, combined with powerful computers and software, is behind the shift to primary research (using information) at the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Areas o...

ion than domain discourse, e.g. an accountant and an engineer can converse in terms of the basic assumptions of science (objective facts, rules, etc.) and mathematical reasoning. Both engineering and accountancy are extremely different domains but both share common assumptions. While this is extremely useful for inter-disciplinary discourse it is problematic for knowledge elicitation of tacit k...
