ICT awareness and perception is the main determinants of ICT adoption and utilization. In SMEs, ICT adoption and utilization will be dependent on a) owner/manager’s individual characteristics, b) owner/manager’s ICT awareness c) company related features. Thus, this study aims to investigate: (1) effects of company characteristics, owner/manager's individual characteristics and ICT awareness on ICT adoption and utilization (2) how the extent of ICT adoption and utilization influences different aspects and types of innovativeness. Mixed approach combining quantitative and qualitative research methods is used for gaining insight related to subject and the studied phenomenon. Data gathered from semi-structured interviews, and a developed questionnaire applied to SMEs are synthesized to reveal findings regarding the determinants of ICT adoption and utilization levels of SMEs. The developed model is being tested in Turkish SMEs. Moreover, the effects of ICT adoption and utilization levels on the components of organizational innovativeness are investigated comprehensively in this study.","PeriodicalId":155412,"journal":{"name":"12th IADIS International Conference Information Systems 2019","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121961601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gated processes are in use in numerous organisations to decide on proceeding or cancelling a project. This study examines the consequences of the setup of the gatekeepers, the managers deciding on the gates, in these processes. Gatekeepers deciding on two consecutive gates are, according to the escalation of commitment theory, tended to confirm their initial decisions. They hold a higher approval rate for the consecutive decision as compared to a setup where the gates are approved by different gatekeepers. In this paper we present the results of, as far as we know, the first natural experiment on the escalation of commitment using 820 new product development and cost saving IT projects over a time span of 4.5 years. We found empirical evidence that escalation of commitment, as predicted in theory, leads to a higher approval rate of the consecutive gate. Organisations can mitigate this by changing the setup of the governance by avoiding the approval of two consecutive gates by the same gatekeeper. Furthermore, the data showed that large investment projects hold a significantly larger possibility to receive approvals (after an initial approval) than small investment projects. This indicates the importance of the initial gate approval. Finally, we studied the difference between cost saving and new product development projects and found no differences in their mortality rate nor in the approval rate of the consecutive gate.","PeriodicalId":155412,"journal":{"name":"12th IADIS International Conference Information Systems 2019","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123169159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, novice programmers often tend to avoid writing modular code. In this study, we aim to explore the circumstances in which novice programmers choose to write modular code. To address this aim, two student groups, twenty in each, were given a programming task, each in different configuration. Group-1 was given the task in several phases, each add complexity to the previous one, while Group-2 was given the entire task at once. The entire task was rather complex and its modular solution requires the definition of few classes and methods, each responsible to one of the problem's aspects. The students' solutions were analyzed using the dual-process theory, cognitive dissonance theory and content analysis methods to explore the extent of code modularity. The analysis revealed the following: (1) as regards to Group-1, a minor increase in the number of modular solutions was found while they progressed along the phases; (2) The number of modular solutions of Group-2 was higher than of Group-1. Analysis of students' justifications for lack of code modularity in Group-1 revealed the following. The first phase of the problem was perceived as rather simple hence many students did not find any reason to invest in designing a modular solution. When the task got complex in the following phases, some students realized that a modular solution would fit better, hence a cognitive dissonance was raised. Nevertheless, many of them preferred to continue their course of non-modular solution instead of re-designing a modular new one. In order to decrease the dissonance they claimed that this decision saved time. Students of both groups also attributed their non-modular code to lack of explicit criteria for the evaluation of the code quality that lead them to focus on functionality alone.","PeriodicalId":155412,"journal":{"name":"12th IADIS International Conference Information Systems 2019","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121883527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Startup companies are positioned to implement innovations and build up the company, as well as its further components, while taking innovation into account. Established companies have to deal with the integration of these innovations into their existing business system. This paper studies the aspects that must be considered when software is introduced to bring about a stable innovation capability for the company. A case study is therefore presented in which a medium-sized retail company introduces new POS (point-of-sale) software with the help of a cloud platform. The case study assessed the relevance of various aspects, which must be considered during implementation. The relevance of complexity reduction was, among others, rated as highly relevant while uncertainty absorption, in contrast to other literature, was rated as less relevant.","PeriodicalId":155412,"journal":{"name":"12th IADIS International Conference Information Systems 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121884008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
