title: DEVELOPERS VIEWS ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS QUALITY AND SUCCESS IN CANADIAN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FIRMS

description: ABSTRACT For years software developers have struggled in their attempts to deliver high quality and successful software products. A survey was conducted in Canada to assess the main determinants of information systems (IS) quality and success. The survey confirmed the notion that developer skills and contribution had the greatest impact on information systems quality, over process maturity and the application of the latest technology. The survey also discovered that user perception had a greater impact on IS success in comparison to IS quality. In an attempt to gain deeper insights into the state of IS quality and success in Canada, interviews were conducted with Canadian software developers. The interviews revealed that organization climate such as top management support, the social interactions and dynamics among project team members and the structural analysis of the industry are other factors which can influence the quality and success of the delivered software product. These insights if applied during the development and delivery of information systems can enhance the likelihood of producing high quality and successful software products and increase the competitiveness of these firms.

title: THE ADOPTION OF BIG DATA SERVICES BY MANUFACTURING FIRMS: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION IN INDIA

description: ABSTRACT Although some leading companies are actively adopting Big data services (BDS) to strengthen market competition , many manufacturing firms are still in the early stage of the adoption curve due to lack of understanding of and experience with BDS. Hence, it is interesting and timely to understand issues relevant to BDS adoption. The empirical investigation reveals that a firm’s intention to adopt BDS can be positively affected by the quality and benefits of BDS. Surprisingly, a firm’s absorptive capacity in utilizing big data and risks and costs associated with implementation and maintenance does not impact the adoption intention of BDS.

title: Relato financeiro eletrónico: as necessidades dos utilizadores no caso angolano

description: RESUMO O relato financeiro eletrónico é uma realidade tornada possível com o aparecimento da Internet, cada vez mais utilizado pelas empresas na divulgação da informação contabilístico-financeira. Embora seja uma área de investigação relativamente recente, existem já diversos estudos e recomendações no sentido de as empresas potenciarem as suas possibilidades. Contudo, é mais escassa a investigação publicada que incida no lado da procura da informação contabilístico-financeira e que identifique as necessidades dos utilizadores quanto ao formato e conteúdo dessa informação. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é verificar se as necessidades e interesses dos utilizadores deste tipo de informação, num mercado bolsista emergente, como é o caso de Angola, coincidem, ou não, com as recomendações e modelos de divulgação atuais. Concluímos que as necessidades dos utilizadores estudados correspondem às recomendações atuais, quanto ao formato de apresentação da informação contabilístico-financeira e respetivo conteúdo, devendo ser consideradas como referência pelas empresas que vão integrar o mercado bolsista emergente angolano. Este trabalho apresenta dois contributos: por um lado, a análise na perspetiva da procura da informação e, por outro lado, o estudo desta temática num mercado emergente, o que permitirá aos organismos reguladoras definir regras e recomendações antecipadamente, no que respeita ao relato financeiro eletrónico.

title: REGULATION MISUNDERSTANDING: CONVERGENCE COMPLEXITY PROVIDING FAILURES IN TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES COSTS

description: ABSTRACT This manuscript discusses a theoretical competitive scenario for telecommunications services, in particular voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and finds that the economic benefits of the current technological convergence are based on three main factors: technological advances and updates; regulation failures related to technological complexity; and consumer inability to exploit the benefits of convergence. This study begins by giving the background to voice communication in the telecommunications sector and the misunderstanding of the competitive boundaries between technologies, service providers, and usage applications generated in an unregulated sector. Second, the kinds of regulation that organizes the development and pricing of integrated or bundled services are briefly discussed and presented. Third, theoretical analysis of the competitive environment is interpreted in terms of the three factors: technological advances, regulation failure, and consumer knowledge of convergence. Results derived from these factors are presented in the context of VoIP services. Finally, the work concludes by outlining the implications for regulatory reform and the impact on competitive behavior, and describes possibilities for the future management of the technology sector.

title: Co-Creation of E-Services Enabled by the Digitalization of Physical Products

description: ABSTRACT: With the advent of digitalization, e-services are now enabled by embedded digital technologies in physical products such as vehicles, elevators, construction equipment. In spite of numerous instances of e-services enabled by the digitalization of physical products, little research has been carried out to investigate the characteristics of co-creation of such e-services. This paper attempts to fill the gap by reporting from a three-year long research project with a vehicle manufacturing company. Using the translation phases from the Actor-Network theory (ANT) as a theoretical lens, this paper presents three propositions that characterize the co-creation of e-services enabled by the digitalization of physical products. The propositions highlight the role of physical products, establishment of trust and setting priorities about digitalization.
