Our study is structured as a multi-case study: we assessed how five warungs, to varying degrees, engaged in DT. Socio-technical systems theory guides the data collection via semi-structured interviews and observations. The data is analyzed through codification to look for themes and patterns from the multiple units of analysis. The findings show that the growth mindset of warung owners influences how they solve business problems, ensure operational efficiency, and increase profit. Some create an effective structure in operating their warung by working with their family members. Owners with a high technology mindset successfully learn and adapt the technology. We theorize that kekeluargaan plays a moderating role for the owner where technology-related tasks are concerned. We found that when kekeluargaan is present, it positively moderates the owner's engagement in technology-related tasks. However, when kekeluargaan is absent, the moderating effect is low. The findings extend the literature on DT for microbusinesses with indigenous cultural factors that should be considered to successfully transform a traditional business.","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140602374","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}

However, these organizations must still determine their readiness for big data analytics. User readiness as a determinant for use of big data analytics in developing countries like Kenya has received limited coverage in literature. Yet, successful implementation necessitates users' preparedness and willingness to use the technology. Grounded theory was used in this study, which involved eight state corporations in Kenya. Four categories emerged from the data: user attributes, change management, ICT competence, and decision-making culture. The proposed interventions to improve user readiness are top leadership support, user engagement, change management strategies, capacity-building programs, and data governance. The article contributes to literature by exploring the gap between user readiness and use of big data analytics in state corporations in Kenya. It additionally offers practitioners, decision-makers, and government officials in developing countries, factors that can increase use of big data analytics.","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140699544","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}

The results were summarized using a cancer data process flow diagram, context-view system architecture model, and logic models detailing the roadmap plans for the next 10 years. The study was able to show how the development of a national cancer registry plan that seeks to unite existing population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) and hospital-based cancer registries (HBCRs) is only possible through extensive collaboration and effective stakeholder engagement.

This study employs a multiple-case approach to analyze the USF institution using the proposed integrated organizational learning framework, offering a novel perspective. The proposed framework identifies factors influencing effective outcomes and provides a comprehensive assessment of cross-project learning culture within the organization. Additionally, by unveiling systemic deception and hidden intentions, the application of this framework may act as a deterrent to improper practices, contributing to an improved outlook for future projects. Our analysis reveals that despite encountering distinct experiences and outcomes in different initiatives, the USF has missed opportunities to fully leverage lessons learned and avoid repeating past mistakes. To bolster the efficacy of future projects, we propose that the USF adopt a proactive organizational learning strategy involving thorough evaluations and analyses of past projects by experts. This process should aim to extract key lessons, challenges, and best practices, culminating in establishing a repository of learnings. Regularly updating and utilizing this repository can foster a culture of continuous improvement and informed decision-making. Such an approach can improve project delivery across traditional metrics of time, cost, and quality and maximize benefits delivered to beneficiaries.","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140155860","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}

The results indicate IT contribution, organizational learning, and IS-related human are the most significant attributes that positively impact innovation performance. Corroborating qualitative and experimental results identified new products, improved operational processes, improved product functionalities, and innovation strategy as the key innovation performance factors. While the information systems strategic assets have minimal effect, the enabling role of information systems has a moderate impact on innovation performance.

A crucial part of modernizing industries is utilizing emerging technologies. This research aimed to examine how the Global South can adopt and maximize emerging technology opportunities. The research was qualitative in nature, and the focus was on economies in the Global South. Random sampling to select 40 economies from the four continents that fall under the Global South which were Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the Arab Region, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Research articles on the subject matter were collected from Google Scholar and other online repositories. Document analysis was used under the data analysis section. This research aimed to examine how the Global South can adopt and maximize emerging technology opportunities. The research findings described challenges, such as poor technological policies, high prices, and taxation, a lack of financial resources, a lack of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure and limited experts, digital illiteracy, and how illicit financial flows adversely affect the Global South's ability to tap into emerging technologies. In terms of policy recommendations, it was suggested that the Global South needs to design and implement robust ICT policies, mobilize financial resources, and invest in research and development. These policies must be implemented in the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors to ensure meaningful benefits of using emerging technologies.","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/isd2.12321","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140097329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, a content analysis of the interviews of 15 public officials and managers associated directly with the management and operationationalization of OGD initiatives is being done to arrive at the conclusions. Thus, the interviewees aver that OGD Value Co-creation (VCC) may be facilitated on top-priority bases by consistent marketing efforts by the government as also the partnerships with the key stakeholders of the OGD ecosystem, and, among the prominent Value Co-Destruction (VCD) factors may be counted the issues linked with data privacy and resource restriction. Literature on OGD VCC is at a nascent stage and the one on OGD VCD is evolving.
