Some of the previous research on job skills has looked at job advertisements in print and online media to determine skills that employers were seeking; other research interviewed or surveyed employers to determine employers' needs. Results were often conflicting as previously summarized in Litecky, Zwieg and Huang. Now web content data mining techniques allow for much greater sampling and specific analysis of current MIS (simply defined as Management oriented Information Systems types of skills) oriented job ads. In this approach over two million advertisements were filtered to over one half million U.S. job advertisements for MIS degree graduates from various job websites. Management-oriented IS skills were compiled in a thesaurus and then those skills were extracted from the selected job ads. These skills were compared to the job advertisements for subsequent analysis. Results suggest much more concordance between disparate job advertisements and survey-based research. These results reinforce much of the desired uniqueness of MIS curricula as compared to other computing degree curricula. Results herein are limited to U.S. and are also contrasted with the similar content and analysis of job skills in the Australian IS job market. In addition an analysis is performed on the cross disciplinary data on Enterprise System/SAP jobs which were not limited to MIS graduates.","PeriodicalId":263040,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS-CPR '12","volume":"548 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134376668","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}

Following a Grounded Theory Methodological approach, we introduce the following concept: 'Shift of Understanding' (SoU). We develop this concept through the analysis of 57 interviews, completed by the analysis of over 200 famous quotes from authors/entrepreneurs. A SoU occurred after a shock, an entrepreneurial event or when a gradual evolution of a condition (e.g. accumulation of information or experience which at some point turns into knowledge) has come to its completion phase. In such cases, the inertia governing human behavior is interrupted and the individual perceives things under a new lens: a shift of understanding has just happened. A newly formed desire towards entrepreneurship, the realization of the urgency and immediacy of action, the reconsideration of both pragmatic and existential concerns such as the risk reduction, the capability to seize opportunities, or the meaning of life in general, the re-evaluation of one's prospects, propensities and needs are some of the manifestations of SoU which are found to be directly or indirectly linked to the actual IT entrepreneurial turnover behavior.","PeriodicalId":263040,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS-CPR '12","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123459557","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}

PMO Lite is a configuration that has minimal staff and no direct control over the management of individual projects, but supports project managers by creating standards and serving as a project information repository.\u0000 Viewed through the theoretical lens of control theory, the recently reported trend of cutting mandatory deliverables, making some of them optional deliverables, and moving toward a standards and repository type of PMO implies a reduction of formal controls. If organizations aim to maintain or continue to improve project management outcomes while shrinking formal controls, control theory suggests informal controls will play a vital role in achieving desired outcomes.\u0000 This in-progress research involves a quantitative field study to examine the extent and nature of informal controls in PMO Lite environments. To ascertain whether informal controls play a more significant role in PMO Lite environments, we also will collect data from project managers in \"PMO Heavy\" organizations. Participating companies will be drawn from our School's Project Management Advisory Board and a web-based survey will be administered to 200-300 project managers.\u0000 Data will be analyzed using structural equation modeling. We will relate insights gleaned on informal controls present in PMO Lite environments to the extent to which their organization meets key project management goals. We will also examine antecedents to informal controls in these organizations, to gain insights into how managers can spark and nurture informal controls that contribute to the achievement of organizational project management goals.","PeriodicalId":263040,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS-CPR '12","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132910970","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}

At the same time, talented employees often become entrepreneurial and establish their own startups. Thus, my research is motivated by these guiding questions: Which turnover patterns/trends can be observed in the ICT industry from a macro perspective (i.e., where does social and human capital flow)? To what extent can startup performance in this industry be explained by the social capital aggregated from the turnover history of its founders - that is, from the ties to former employers? Which employees are key resources in terms of their individual contributions to the aggregate social capital of their current employers? Do brokerage opportunities create turnover incentives for employees?\u0000 As a first step to answering these questions, I aim to provide evidence that startup performance is not based exclusively on access to talent in the sense of individual human capital but is also determined by a social capital aspect resulting from their founder's career history. I apply social network analysis (SNA) combined with logistical regression on a large dataset of companies and people in the ICT sector to explore this topic.","PeriodicalId":263040,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS-CPR '12","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130143488","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}
