Numerous strategic and tactical advantages have been attributed to the use of EDI. We develop and empirically test a theoretical model to explain the extent of EDI implementation in organizations. Factors considered include organization structural characteristics size, centralization, and functional differentiation and organization learning factors technical expertise, level of EDI knowledge, and training availability. We use three dependent variables to assess the extent of EDI implementation volume, diversity, and sophistication. We analyze 235 responses from a national survey of 1200 EDI users. Our analysis suggests the data provide some support for the model. The results indicate that organization size explains much of the extent of EDI implementation in organizations, suggesting that the extent of EDI implementation is partly a matter of resource availability and transaction volume. The level of technical and EDI knowledge also influences the extent of EDI implementation. Functional differentiation affects EDI diversity and EDI sophistication. Training availability influences EDI sophistication in organizations.","PeriodicalId":44735,"journal":{"name":"Information Resources Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70477169","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}

Our focus here is on structural factors associated with the adoption of EIS capabilities that support managerial communication, coordination, control, and planning. A national survey was conducted to collect data for the empirical study. Our analysis uses data from 210 organizations representing adopters and non-adopters of key EIS capabilities. Adopters of each of the four EIS capabilities have higher levels of environmental dynamism, heterogeneity, and hostility than their non-adopting counterparts. EIS adopters with higher levels of environmental pressures appear to be implementing distributed architectures to deliver EIS applications. Furthermore, adopters of EIS capabilities for purposes of coordination, control, and planning have larger IS departments than non-adopters. It also appears that larger organizations are implementing EIS capabilities for planning purposes to a greater degree than smaller organizations. They also have a greater proportionate representation from the for-profit sector.

Yet many studies report inconsistent or contradictory results. Despite these inconclusive findings, the relationship between user satisfaction (US) and information systems (IS) success has great appeal. Historically, US research has been plagued by many problems. Directly measuring the success of an IS has been found to be impractical and perhaps impossible (Galletta & Lederer, 1989). Therefore, surrogates are used. The linkage between the operationalizations of US and the IS success construct has been tenuous at best. Methodological problems, such as weak construct validity, have also contributed to the lack of progress and the mixed results on US (Jarvenpaa, Dickson, & DeSantis, 1985; Zmud, Byrd, Sampson, Lenz, & Reardon, 1993). Perhaps the most compelling problem, however, is the lack of conceptual development (Jarvenpaa et al., 1985; Kim, 1989; Straub, 1989; Melone, 1990; Zmud et al., 1993). While the US construct has often been used to evaluate Integrating three prominent organizational behavior theories of motivation (equity, expectancy, and needs) with concepts of information systems success, this paper develops a broad conceptual foundation from which to view and understand user satisfaction in information systems. This integration attempts to clarify many of the diverse dimensions of user satisfaction and examines the notions of process and outcome satisfaction and dissatisfaction in information systems.","PeriodicalId":44735,"journal":{"name":"Information Resources Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70477621","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}

Drury","doi":"10.4018/IRMJ.1998040101","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4018/IRMJ.1998040101","url":null,"abstract":"Planning and controlling information technology remains a management priority in the 1990s. The importance of effectively using the substantial investment is increasing with rapid technological change and competition. Effectively using the information processing resource is becoming a management priority. Since initial implementations, effectively using information processing resources has been difficult. With the pace of technological change, increasing investments, and a growing diversity of users and usages, the importance of effective cost control has increased. A widely advocated method of bringing order to this state of affairs is the use of a chargeback system whereby users are charged and made responsible for the information costs which they incur. From the earliest applications, some organizations have adopted chargeback systems. While there have been studies in the intervening period on chargeback systems, chargeback remains a controversial management technique. In 1980, a study was conducted on the usage and practices of chargeback systems. This same set of companies recently provided information about their current practices. This paper reports the findings of the temporal comparison. The results suggest that chargeback is not a panacea. Further, the objectives in using, or not using chargeback systems have changed substantially. A new set of problems has emerged. Organizations are having difficulty adapting the chargeback approach. There is less satisfaction in using them, although chargeback systems are still widely used. The final section of the paper addresses reasons for these changes and suggests issues which have yet to be resolved in using chargeback effectively in the emerging information technology environment.","PeriodicalId":44735,"journal":{"name":"Information Resources Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70477547","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}

They are representative of many similar expressions concerning university-based information systems research. Moreover, they appear to be consistent with assessments and impressions sensed by many persons conducting information systems research from an academic home base. Judging from the apparent frequency and consistency of these judgments, it is evident that a sizeable portion of the practitioner community does not value the research conducted by information systems IS scholars. This paper explores the challenge of relating IS research to practice. It suggests alternatives for researchers to consider if they seek an impact on practice and an ongoing communication link with practitioners.","PeriodicalId":44735,"journal":{"name":"Information Resources Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70477281","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}
