COMPLEMENTARY ASSETS AND VALUE CREATION BEYOND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INVESTM...ijmvsc
This work was aimed at analyzing the relationships between some selected complementary assets (independent variables) and some specified benefits/value creation (dependent variables), beyond Information Technology (IT) investments in an organizational setting. The purpose was to determine
significant complementary assets that impact greatly on value creation beyond IT investments.With 175 questionnaires sent to IT project and program managers of companies in the Telecom industry in Ghana, and analyzed,the following findings were revealed: for value creation beyond IT investments to be
achieved, the staff must be computer literate, there must be the availability of experts and firms around to help in resolving IT problems quickly and timely that crop up, and the staff must be empowered to be innovative with IT. Again, the results showed that most of the complementary assets employed in this work, tend to favor benefits of Improved staff morale and Improved business processes. Also, one of the strongest positive relationships was found to exist between “supportive organizational culture that values efficiency and effectiveness” as predictor variable and “service/product quality” as response
variable.
EFFECTS OF HUMAN FACTOR ON THE SUCCESS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OUTSOURCINGijitcs
Information technology outsourcing is one of the factors affecting the improvement of flexibility and
dynamics of enterprises in the competitive environment. Also, the study of the factors affecting its success
has been always considered by business owners and the area of research. Professional experiences and
research results consider that the success of IT (Information technology) outsourcing projects relates to the
effective knowledge transfer and human factors. The human factors are influenced by the cultural and
environmental context of the inside and outside of the organization. Hence, it is necessary to study the
effectiveness of these variables in different cultural environments. This study investigates the effect of
human factors including the customer motivation and vendor willingness on the success of IT outsourcing
projects. For this purpose, the research hypotheses were developed and analyzed by the structural equation
method. The result of a field study among 94 companies and organizations show the difference of the
findings of this study with earlier findings in other countries. Based on the findings, the client motivation
doesn’t affect the knowledge transfer but the vendor willingness affects the customer motivation to
knowledge transfer. This result can help the business owners to take appropriate approaches for achieving
success in IT outsourcing projects.

Small and medium enterprise business solutions using data visualizationjournalBEEI
The small and medium enterprise (SME) companies optimize performance using different automated systems to highlight the operations concerns. However, lack of efficient visualization in reporting results in slow feedbacks, difficulties in extracting root cause, and minimal corrective actions. To complicate matters, the data heterogeneity has intensely increased, and it is produced in a fast manner making it unmanageable if the traditional methods of analytics are applied. Hence, we propose the use of a dashboard that can summarize the operational events using real-time data based on the data visualization approach. This proposed solution summarizes the raw data, which allows the user to make informed decisions that can give a positive impact on business performance. An interactive intelligent dashboard for SME (iid-SME) is developed to tackle issues such as measurement of cases completed, the duration of time needed to solve a case, the individual performance of handling cases and other tasks as a proof of concept. From the result, the implementation of the iid-SME approach simplifies the conveyance of the message and helps the SME personnel to make decisions. With the positive feedback obtained, it is envisaged that such a solution can be further employed for SME improvement for better profit and decision making.

Assessing the impact of information technology on firm performance considering the role of intervening variables: organizational infrastructures and business processes reengineering. International Journal of Production Research, 45(12), 2697-2734. Retrieved from Business Source Complete database.
The scope of this paper is on the relationship between information technology (IT) use and the firm general performance in the consideration of the variables like infrastructure and process reengineering intervening in organizations. The purpose of the research was to establish the roles of the intervening variables on the relationship between IT and firms performance. The instruments to be used in research of the relationship between IT and the firms performance and the role of the two intervening important variable focused on which were reengineering of the processes (BPRM) and organizational infrastructure (OIS) in the IT and firm performance relationship were presented. The study based on the empirical filed survey design where 200 car part producers were administered with questionnaires. The questionnaires addressed the OIS, BPRM, Performance measurement (PER) and IT usage (ITU). The findings of this study demonstrated that there was a moderating effects of the organizational infrastructure and the mediating roles of the business process reengineering on the association between IT use and the performance of a firm. The IT usage was significantly high in pecuniary affairs of most companies. Organizational infrastructures was significantly considered in most companies and that IT usage significantly influenced the products production reengineering process. This information was very resourceful in the entire coursework and also raised the confidence of the body of resources used in finding this information. The underlying assumptions of the study was that the measures used in this study had a high internal consistency thus giving highly correlated answers hence high stability of the used measures. The limitations of the study was a small sample population that was corrected by the stability of the study measures (H ...

Abstract
A major problem for firms making information technology
investment decisions is predicting and understanding the
effects of future technological developments on the value of
present technologies. Failure to adequately address this
problem can result in wasted organization resources in ac-
quiring, developing, managing, and training employees in the
use of technologies that are short-lived and fail to produce
adequate return on investment. The sheer number of avail-
able technologies and the complex set of relationships among
them make IT landscape analysis extremely challenging.
Most IT-consuming firms rely on third parties and suppliers
for strategic recommendations on IT investments, which can
lead to biased and generic advice. We address this problem
by defining a new set of constructs and methodologies upon
which we develop an IT ecosystem model. The objective of
these artifacts is to provide a formal problem representation
structure for the analysis of information technology devel-
opment trends and to reduce the complexity of the IT
landscape for practitioners making IT investment decisions.
We adopt a process theory perspective and use a combination

of visual mapping and quantification strategies to develop
our artifacts and a state diagram-based technique to repre-
sent evolutionary transitions over time. We illustrate our
approach using two exemplars: digital music technologies
and wireless networking technologies. We evaluate the utility
of our approach by conducting in-depth interviews with IT
industry experts and demonstrate the contribution of our
approach relative to existing techniques for technology

IS/IT Capability and Strategic Information System Planning (SISP) SuccessIJMIT JOURNAL
Successful planning of Information Systems (SISP) is perhaps going to be more problematic in today’s world of rapid change and uncertainty. SISP is a cornerstone of the information system discipline and very little attention has been paid to its success based on the resource based view of the firm (RBV).This paper provides a model for IT capability and strategic information system planning success, by considering environmental and organizational factors that may influence this relationship in a contingency model. A review of existing IT capability and SISP literature is given to identify the opportunities in building successful SISP. A model is developed by hypothesizing IT capability as independent variable leads to SISP success as dependent variable; in which organizational & environmental influences are considered as moderating variables. The control variables are firm size, firm structure, and industry type. The study proposes a model to conceptualize the relationship between IT capabilities and SISP success and contingency factors moderating that relationship. This paper explains the ways of exploiting IT capabilities as specialized and integrated knowledge of the firm in IT area to create a more successful SISP. The researchers believe that the aim to build a model for SISP success based on RBV theory is important because this new perspective will be helpful for gaining a superior assessment and better underpinning of the SISP from a knowledge based perspective.

Problem Statement
Organizational functions should be changed in line with changes in the business environment. The invention of new technologies is being a factor hindering organizational growth. On the other hand, organizations which accurately forecast these new innovations are better placed. Business intelligence analytics are majorly being used to enhance the efficiency of firm’s functions. However, there is substantial variation in the utilization. The application of new technologies into an institutions functions increases the returns, and consequently higher profitability is achieved. This research study aims at identifying BIA factors which enhance sophistication of enterprise functions. Furthermore, it will study factors which constrain the adoption of new technologies. This research will assess the factors which affect usage of business intelligence systems. It will therefore bridge the gap between innovation and usage of the new applications.
Purpose of Research
The aim of the research is to evaluate factors affecting optimal utilization of business information systems. The research will address, first, how intensity of competition influences business intelligence systems usage, secondly, the extent of sophistication of data infrastructure in affecting the extent of BIA usage, and lastly, the research will investigate how integration of organizational functions affect extensive use of business information systems. The research outcome will help organization to identify areas of improvement for them to maximize use of business intelligence systems.
Innovation Diffusion/Adoption
Companies navigate technology innovation through adoption. They take time to experience new inventions. Learning through assimilation is an enabler that aids in formation of concrete usage background (Marjanovic Olivera et al. 2017). Therefore, several studies have discovered that extensive utilization relies on adoption. An institution will hence take time to get used to Business intelligence technology. Adoption is embraced by the agencies to legitimize and ration resources. This experience helps an entity to plan for resources to be used by the innovations.
Business Intelligence and analytics
Business intelligence entails collection, collating, analysis and interpretation of data from diverse source to form essential insights. The focus of this activity is to create value addition strategies. The main use of Business intelligence analytics is to create dynamic capabilities (Sharda, Ramesh, et al 2017). For instance, IT strategies used by supply chain departments have been discovered to contribute positivel ...

The role of information systems by Emanuel BaisireEmanuel Baisire
Firms are constantly investing in information technology infrastructure to maintain a competitive edge and survive in a dynamic business environment. The paper focuses on the role played by information system’s components like organization’s strategy, technology and management to improve a firm’s competitive advantage . In this case, Information systems are referred to as those elements capturing data and process it into valuable information for decision-makers.
The motivation for this topic is based on the dominant role played by information systems in shaping new industry structures and increasing the rate of first-mover advantage. It is also important to note that firms investing in new or advanced information technology and ignore organizational changes in other complementary assets are not likely to rip the maximum benefits of information systems. Firms integrating technology with organization changes yield more returns in terms of high productivity and innovation than those without an expanded view of information systems.
The role of information system is also important because it enables organizations to identify and deploy new strategies and cost reduction techniques in a timely manner than competitors (Loudon, 2007). Firms need to integrate their business processes in order to gain a competitive advantage. For instance there is a need for technology within different departments like human resource, sales and marketing, production and research to complement each other to yield a competitive advantage.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Abstract: The complexity and scope of outsourced information technology (IT) demands relationship-specific
investments from vendors, which, when combined with contract incompleteness, may result in underinvestment
and inefficient bargaining, referred to as the holdup problem. Using a unique data set of over 100 IT outsourcing
contracts, we examine whether contract extensiveness, i.e., the extent to which firms and vendors can foresee
contingencies when designing contracts for outsourced IT services, can alleviate holdup. While extensively
detailed contracts are likely to include a greater breadth of activities outsourced to a vendor, task complexity
makes it difficult to draft extensive contracts. Furthermore, extensive contracts may still be incomplete with
respect to enforcement. We then examine the role of nonprice contractual provisions, contract duration, and
extendibility terms, which give firms an option to extend the contract to limit the likelihood of holdup. We also
validate the ex post efficiency of contract design choices by examining renewals of contracting agreements.

Abstract: Questions pertaining to the locus of information systems (IS) governance have been extensively
examined in existing research. However, questions pertaining to the decision rationale applied for Information
Systems portfolio prioritization—why are certain initiatives approved, and why are certain others rejected—
noted to be a critical component of IS governance need further investigation. We submit that the Information
Systems strategy of a firm is likely to explain the decision rationale it applies to Information Systems portfolio
prioritization and maintain that it is critical to ensure this decision rationale is in congruence with the firm’s
Information Systems strategy. By extending prior theoretical work on Information Systems strategy types, we
develop theoretical profiles of the decision rationale applied to Information Systems portfolio prioritization using
three attributes: communicability of decision rationale, consistency in applying decision rationale, and risk
appropriateness of decision rationale. Since the decision rationale applied for Information Systems portfolio
prioritization is often tacit, unknown even to the decision makers themselves, we employ the decision tree
induction methodology to discover this tacit decision rationale. We analyze over 150 Information Systems
portfolio prioritization decisions on a multimillion dollar Information Systems portfolio of a multibusiness, Fortune
50 firm and our findings, which support our propositions, indicate that firms that adopt different Information
Systems strategies rely on systematically different profiles of decision rationale for Information Systems portfolio
prioritization. Implications for IS governance practices are developed.

a) Information Technology And Innovation Outputs: The Missing Link of Search
Evolution

Abstract: Recent literature documents mixed findings on the impact of information technology (IT) investment on
film innovation outputs, calling for deeper exploration of the mechanisms through which IT influences innovation
that can reconcile these mixed findings. Based on the evolutionary theory of the firm, we theorize the impacts of
IT investment on the variation of firm search behavior in spanning various existing boundaries. Specifically, we
explain how and why firms with greater IT investment are more likely to search across technological,
organizational, geographical, and temporal boundaries in recombining knowledge elements, which has
curvilinear impacts on the quantity and quality of innovation outputs. Using a panel data set from multiple
archival sources, we found robust empirical evidence corroborating our theory.
Keywords: information technology investment; search: knowledge recombination; innovation; business value of information

b) Dynamic Adjustment Of Information Technology, Corporate Governance, And
Firm Profitability

European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013)
Abstract: How do managers make their decisions with regard to adjustment and deployment of information
technology (IT) over time? Motivated by this complex dynamics, we draw on behavioral theory of the firm and
theorize a bounded rational process of managerial decision making for IT investment. In particular, we explain
the dynamic adjustment of IT investment by bounded rational managers’ pursuing of satisfaction. When
performance feedback of prior profitability is below their aspiration, they become unsatisfied and adjust IT
investment to facilitate problemistic search directed toward innovative solutions to performance problems. As a
result, performance problems will be solved and future profitability can be improved. We also deepen our
understanding by theorizing the contingency of above dynamics based on the possibility of agency problems
and the appropriateness of corporate governance mechanisms, which is largely omitted in behavioral theory.
We further draw on agency theory and examine the moderating roles of different corporate governance
mechanisms (i.e., incentive alignment versus monitoring) in the effects of IT investment on problemistic search
and rent generation. By using a recent, large-scale panel data set, we find that managers are indeed bounded
rational and dynamically adjust IT investment over time based on performance feedback. We also find that
incentive alignment outgoes monitoring in directing managerial decision making toward innovating with and
generating rent with IT investment. Novel theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Keywords: dynamic adjustment of IT investment, dynamics of managerial decision making, IT innovation, corporate governance,
behavioral theory of the firm, agency theory.

c) The Penrose Effect In Resource Investment For Innovation: Evidence From
Information Technology And Human Capital
John Qi Dong, Jinyu He, Prasanna Karhade
European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013)
Abstract: Resource-based theory views the firm as a bundle of resources administrated and coordinated by
managers. We introduce the theoretical lens of Penrose effect to IS research, which refers to the fact that finite
managerial capacities will suffer if the complexity of resource coordination is high. Therefore, although
investment in knowledge-related assets, such as information technology (IT) and human capital, is associated
with better innovation performance on the one hand, too much capital investment is likely to induce diminishing
return on the investment because of Penrose effect. Accordingly, we take a curvilinear approach and propose
that the relationships between IT/human capital investments and innovation performance are likely to be
inverted U shaped. Furthermore, we suggest that, in addition to bringing resource synergy, resource
coordination also incurs costs, especially when the complexity of coordination among multiple resources is high.
Thus, we take a nonlinear approach to examine the interaction effect of IT and human capital investments on
innovation performance, which may not be always positive as past research often maintained. Longitudinal data
from 404 German firms across several recent years confirm inverted U-shaped relationships between IT/human
capital investments and innovation performance. In addition, we find that IT and human capital investments
have a negative interaction effect, suggesting that high level of investment in one capital will lead to increasing
coordination costs and diminishing return on investment in the other.
Keywords: IT capital investment, human capital investment, IT value, IT innovation, Penrose effect, resource based theory, resource-
based view.
