ajis02: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called ajis02.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Systems; Management; Data; Technology; Business; Use; Model; Process; Knowledge; Development; Design; System; User; Work; Software; Project; Analysis; Users; Media; People; Adoption; Decision; Case; Time; Internet; Health; Participants; Computer; Article; Support; Ict; Ethics; Paper; Learning; Value; Security; Students; Framework; Service; Communication; Requirements; Performance; Network; Customer; Community; Mobile; Smes; Services; Web; Burmeister; Product; Papers; Problem; Control; Table; Object; Women; Ajis; Researchers; Conference; Computing; Discipline; Text; Database; Document; Class; Broadband; File; List; Scan2022

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Moving from Evaluation to Trial: How do SMEs Start Adopting Cloud ERP? by Salim, Siti Aisyah; Sedera, Darshana; Sawang, Sukanlaya; E Alarifi, Abdulrahman Hamad; Atapattu, Maura (2015) - For the purposes of this study, the five adoption stages, namely, awareness, interest, evaluation, trial and commitment, in the model proposed by Ettlie (1980) are the best choice due to the following reasons: (i) it provides a detailed breakdown of the decision-making process yet it is not exhaustive; and (ii) it matches the industry roadmap of technology adoption stages (e.g., SAP value). Studies by Ettlie (1980) and Fichman and Kemerer (1997) were personalised in order to develop questions pertaining to technology adoption stages.

• Impact of ICT usage on indigenous peoples’ quality of life: Evidence from an Asian developing country by Ashraf, Md Mahfuz; Grunfeld, Helena; Quazi, Ali (2015) - Keywords: Information Communication Technologies (ICTs); Indigenous people; Amarty Sen’s Five Freedoms; Qualitative approach; Bangladesh. 1 Introduction Indigenous people have not only faced serious discrimination in terms of their basic rights and erosion of their ancestral lands, languages, cultures, and forms of governance, but also in terms of access to basic social services (Gigler 2009, Hunter 2005). While there is much promise that ICT projects will contribute to improved livelihoods of Indigenous people (Table 1), without rigorous research on outcomes and impacts of initiatives aimed at achieving this, not much is known of the extent to which different community members have actually benefitted from ICTs and/or if there has been any adverse outcomes (Corbett, Singleton & Muir, 2009).

• ERP Institutionalisation- A Quantitative Data Analysis Using The Integrative Framework of IS Theories by Pishdad, Azadeh; Koronios, Andy; Reich, Blaize Horner; Geursen, Gus (2014) - At this stage also acting in compliance with the institutional effects is viewed as logical by those who share ERP technology (Baptista 2009; Seddon et al. 2010; Maheshwari et al. 2010). The results (shown in table 13) suggest that strategies for aligning business tasks and ERP technology need to be considered constantly through all stages of ERP assimilation (e.g., initiation: identifying suitable technology options in alignment with strategic information needs, adoption: reducing functionality gaps through rational choice of configuration and customisation strategies, and routinisation: an ongoing assessment of the fit between ERP system and the organisation’s work design and business processes through ERP usage) in order to achieve an institutionalised IT/IS infrastructure.

• Information Security Risk Management: An Intelligence-Driven Approach by Webb, Jeb; Maynard, Sean; Ahmad, Atif; Shanks, Graeme (2014) - In the literature on information security risk management practices three apparently endemic deficiencies were uncovered: (1) Information security risk assessment is commonly perfunctory; (2) Australasian Journal of Information Systems Volume 18 Number 3 2014 393 Estimations of Information security risks commonly rely on speculation rather than evidence; and (3) Information security risk assessments are not typically carried out continuously and historically. Nevertheless, such approaches are commonly accepted by many organisations as adequate means for managing information security risk (Parker 2007; Utin et al. 2008).

• Strategic IT Planning, Evaluation and Benefits Management: the basis for effective IT governance by Marshall, Peter; McKay, Judy (2004) - While early thinking tended to reflect a view that investment in IT would automatically deliver benefits to the organisation (this point is alluded to in the arguments of Ward and Peppard (2002), particularly in the early chapters of their book), more recent arguments seem to suggest a viewpoint that an integrated set of processes of planning, evaluation and benefits realisation are necessary to create the conditions for business benefits to be realised from IT investments. Planning IT requirements based on business imperatives & then subjecting those investments to on - going, multi - faceted evaluations linked to proactive benefits realisation & organisation change processes will ensure appropriate investments and governance of IT investment to deliver business benefits.

• Does Size Matter? The Implications of Firm Size on Enterprise Systems Success by Sedera, Darshana (2016) - We notice that R2 values of both constructs – ES-success and KM-competence – decline with the descending firm size, with large organizations reporting the highest values and smaller organizations reporting the lowest values. However, large organizations demonstrate the highest loadings for KM-competence gained through post-implementation knowledge management activities (retention, transfer, and application), while the loadings of post-implementation knowledge management competence is lowest in small organizations.

• A Post Publication Review of “Publication anxiety, quality, and journal rankings: Researchers views” by Lim, Weng Marc (2016) - If we consider the fact that the absence of research ideals of being highly innovative and ground breaking is lamented by academics in the work of Coulthard and Keller (and if these academics insist to strictly follow and materialize these ideals), then further investigation into the negative impacts of journal ranking systems on research and the welfare of researchers are discouraged on the basis of these ideals, so as to avoid falling into the loop of incrementalism and orthodoxy. The paper by Coulthard and Keller contributes to existing knowledge in the area by empirically investigating the effects of journal ranking systems on research and the welfare of researchers, specifically in the discipline of information systems.

• Toward a conceptual framework for social media adoption by non-urban communities for non-profit activities: Insights from an integration of grand theories of technology acceptance by Lim, Weng Marc; Lim, Ai Ling; Phang, Cynthia Su Chen (2019) - Abstract This paper describes perceptions of social media as a communication tool and source of information for non-profit activities in non-urban communities. It proposes a conceptual framework predicated on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and the information systems success model as theoretical lenses and suggests that four key factors influence the intentions of non-urban communities to adopt and use social media for communication and information of non-profit activities: performance expectancy (i.e. perception of the benefits of using non-profits’ social media to enhance performance), effort expectancy (i.e. perception of how easy it will be to use non-profits’ social media), social conditions (i.e. expectation of others in non-urban communities to use non-profits’ social media), and facilitating conditions (i.e. access to resources and technology as well as self- efficacy with respect to use of non-profits’ social media).

• When robots join our team: A configuration theory of employees’ perceptions of and reactions to Robotic Process Automation by Waizenegger, Lena; Techatassanasoontorn, Angsana A. (2022) - Configurations of employees’ perceptions of and reactions to RPA Attributes Software robots as a burden and threat Software robots as tools Software robots as teammates Software robots as innovative enablers Perceived consequences of software robots on their jobs Employees are concerned that the introduction of software robots will lead to uncertainty about their jobs and job loss. Using a configurational approach as a theoretical framework and method (Hinings, 2018; Miller, 2018) we aim to enhance our understanding of a) the different RPA perceptions and reactions of human employees, b) how and why employees’ perception of RPA influences the collaboration with the RPA team and ultimately their interactions with software robots, and c) how and why some employees benefit while others lose from RPA implementation.

• What prevents organisations from achieving e-HRM potential? by Ceric, Arnela; Parton, Kevin (2024) - For example, there is probably no single best approach to e-HRM adoption because each organisation is unique in terms of its organisational context and e-HRM systems, and this could lead to a very different e-HRM adoption process in each organisation. Limited access to e-HRM data, means that HRM professionals have access to “bits and pieces of information” (interviewee 12) from each system, instead of information generated from all systems which would provide a comprehensive understanding of HRM issues and trends in the organisation.

• Ownership as an Issue in Data and Information Sharing: a philosophically based review by Hart, Dennis (2002) - It is further proposed that what are here called “implicit” theories of information ownership on the part of different individuals or parties within an organisation can lead to varying perceptions as to who is the legitimate owner of particular data or information, and that this view is illuminating of the difficulties that have often been experienced in trying to achieve effective organisational data and information sharing. While data and information ownership have been recognised as an issue, particularly with respect to sharing behaviour in an organisational information management and systems development context (e.g. Hart, 1999, Hart & Whymark, 1999; Koh & Watson, 1998; Allen & Wilson, 1996; van Alstyne, et al, 1995; Wigan, 1992), there has apparently been little, if any, attempt to develop a substantive theoretical understanding of the reasons why this should be so.

• What is an ICT Professional anyway? by Boughton, Clive (2009) - However, from a professional viewpoint these are often the people who both criticise the ICT profession and contribute to the apparent parlous state of the profession typically by undertaking ICT-related work themselves (when they are not competent to do so) or making serious decisions on behalf of ICT professionals without seeking any advice/input from those professionals. I could conclude by simply stating that I do not believe the ICT profession, as it stands today, is or is even capable of providing adequate support to ICT professionals and non-professionals.

• The Management of Intuition by Haynes, John (2003) - Generally at the level of perception things are open to perception (by which they may, or may not, be perceived), but, importantly, we are not able to perceive an idea or concept – simply because neither have any identifiable ‘thingness’ about them to enable them to be perceived. At some stage in early history the invention of the wheel was implicit intuitionally in some human’s mind, now it is generally rendered as a significant product of that intuition, but that is not to say that one cannot take the journey again to re-experience it as implicit intuition, and further, to conception itself.

• Technology for the Humdrum: trajectories, interactional needs and a care setting by Graham, Connor; Cheverst, Keith; Rouncefield, Mark (2006) - Firstly, the concept of trajectory itself helped alert us to aspects of everyday care work that might otherwise be missed while doing fieldwork, such as care work being shared (in a Multidisciplinary Team for example) and being both routine and contingent or unpredictable: certain jobs had to be negotiated and performed during a shift and unexpected emergencies could also occur. We believe that the difference is one of perspective: trajectory offers a personalised and subjective view on the various aspects and consequences of, in our case, care work surrounding ex-psychiatric hospital patients living in a residential care facility, whereas rhythm draws attention to a more event-driven view on the repetitions and patterns in such care work.

• Innovation Determinants and Barriers: A Tri-Perspective Analysis of IT Appropriation within an Early Childhood Education and Care Organisation by Plumb, Melinda; Kautz, Karlheinz (2015) - From a negative perspective, centre directors at BFS centres situated in low-socioeconomic areas reported that parents with low levels of access to IT constrained the iPadKinderloop appropriation, as although it did not stop the centres from appropriating iPadKinderloop, it prevented parents from being able to access the centre’s Kinderloop both at sign-up time and in an ongoing manner. Not all centres were at the same ‘stage’ or level of appropriation due to differences in the timing of the roll-out; although the BFS Head Office mandated the use of iPadKinderloop, it was left to centre directors to decide when they would start using it.

• Diffusion of Electronic Commerce in Small and Medium Enterprises by Lawson, Robyn; Alcock, Carole; Cooper, Joan (2002) - Differences indicate that medium organisations use some technology more than small organisations, ie accounting software (t=3.045, p<.01), databases (t=2.987, p<.01), and computers to assist manufacturing (t=3.998, p<.01). (Managing Director, male, 45 years, small organisation in Metal product manufacturing, SE Melbourne) The assertion, that SMEs will not take up new technologies unless they perceive an advantage to do so, or an immediate disadvantage in not taking them up (Clarke 1997), is supported by the following comments: The whole 'net' thing is too abstract for most 'conventional' businesses to absorb.

• Striking a Balance Between Ethics and ICT Governance by Pye, Graeme; Warren, Matthew (2006) - ICT Governance and the ACS Code of Ethics The Australian Standard for the governance of ICT is ethically vague at the personal level and has been developed with a corporate aspect that prescribes what is deemed as necessary corporate behaviour to achieve good governance of ICT. However, from an information technology (IT) business domain perspective, Clarke’s (1999) view was that the term ethics is intended to refer to the guiding principles of doing what is right or wrong from a moral perspective, in reference to ethical behaviour of both the individual IT professional and the governance of an IT department within a business organisation.

• Community Sector Organisations: a digital divide in communication and knowledge creation? by Denison, Tom (2004) - Future surveys should supplement it by providing evidence of trends, while further qualitative studies will allow not only exploration of questions of take-up and barriers to take-up but also the way in which community sector organisations operating in an online environment can make a positive contribution to social capital, defined by Putnam as the “features of social organisation, such as trust, norms and networks, that can improve the efficiency of society by facilitating coordinated actions” (Putnam et al. 1993, p. 167). I will argue that the interplay of external pressures and the nature of the Internet, particularly in regard to factors such as place and organisational size, can have a significant effect on the success of the Internet strategies of community sector organisations.

• Discourse Strategies Model: an initial phase for discovery of the fact-based statements from descriptive texts by Calway, Bruce; Smith, Ross (1999) - To achieve a clause based narrative of a textual resource involves the simplification or unpacking of discourse as written text into clause based descriptions of either simple (i.e. one clause sentences) or cosub-ordinate clause sentences. Whereas the processing strategy approach assumes that both syntactic cues (such as word order) and semantic information (such as word meaning) are used throughout the processing of a text (Howard 1983:306,307) TEXT AND TEXTURE Using proposition comprehension strategies only provides a partial approach to text processing for conceptual modelling.

• Incidental findings on multimodel comparison, hypothesis testing error, and its solution: The case of information, knowledge, and career pursuit by Lim, Weng Marc; Mandrinos, Symeon (2020) - More specifically, the items measuring the constructs pertaining to information, knowledge, career pursuit, and rewarding career pursuit are presented accordingly, as follows: “The career centre provides me with career information”, “I am able to see clearly the potential career rewards”, “I plan to be employed full-time upon graduation”, and “I am willing to work hard to achieve a rewarding career”. Using a sample of 500 second and third year undergraduates who were simple randomly recruited from 10 simple randomly selected universities, the study demonstrates how hypothesis testing error could occur when multimodel comparison of the effects of the same set of independent constructs (information and knowledge) on a different but related set of dependent constructs (career pursuit and rewarding career pursuit) is performed and how that error can be avoided through detailed scrutiny of the psychic distance between the dependent constructs. Keywords: career; error; hypothesis; information; knowledge; pursuit; testing
• Practical and Tacit Knowing as a Foundation of Information Systems by Haynes, John (1999) - By providing a thorough-going conception of the features and power of Tacit knowing Polanyi allows an Information System to see itself in terms of its own evolvement.

• A Theoretic Basis for IS? The Contribution of ANT by Underwood, Jim (2002) - Although some methodologies give the impression that system design follows logically from predetermined requirements, it is fairly obvious that information systems are in fact designed and built by people, almost always working with others, and sometimes with computers, in a social setting. In systems development they will be conscripted to the purposes of other actors by being inscribed with scripts in a language, which they (pragmatically) understand.

• ‘Go Cry Over Someone Else’s Tragedy’: The YouTube Activism of The 1491s by Berglund, Jeff (2017) - Since 2009 The 1491s have used the positive energy of comedy to galvanise others, with a particular emphasis on shaping the ways Indigenous peoples are seen, how Indigenous peoples see themselves, and how changes might lead Indigenous people to think critically about the conditions under which they are living. While their work is humorous and deeply ironising and quite simply brings happiness to people, it also connects fans together and uses the positive energy of comedy to galvanise others, with a particular emphasis on shaping the ways Indigenous peoples are seen, how Indigenous peoples see themselves, and how changes might be implemented that lead Indigenous people to think critically about the conditions which they may resist and change.

• Hybrids and the Gendering of Computing Jobs in Australia by Whitehouse, Gillian; Diamond, Chris (2005) - Our focus on hybrid roles suggests that those most likely to be taken up by women are at the more routine or support end of the IT job spectrum, and that women’s representation in management roles decreases significantly with seniority. In general, women were seen as most likely to progress through management rather than technical roles, “It’s not that they don’t have the technical capabilities but they seem to progress to management as opposed to technical specialists” (Female manager, IT2: 8).

• Protecting Oak Flat: Narratives Of Survivance As Observed Through Digital Activism by Parkhurst, Nicholet Deschine (2017) - While social media has been discussed in the broader literature as a tool that can be harnessed to raise awareness and bring about social change for oppressed and underrepresented groups of people (Greenleigh, 2013), there is less literature exploring social media activism as an extension of contemporary grassroots activism, and as a narrative of American Indian survivance, described as “an active sense of presence, the continuance of native stories” and the “renunciations of dominance, tragedy, and victimry” (Vizenor, 1999, p.vii). These types of data analytics can be beneficial for understanding and potentially predicting social phenomena especially in situations of policy decisions or in the case of activism to further understand the influence and impact of social media activism.

(69, Professional Salesman, Sydney); “Ethics being taught as part of IT courses … some ethics component in every course and not just done as a - oh and by the way here’s this ...” (49, Public Servant, Canberra); “It’s education and training in ethics at schools and universities” (48, Company Director, Sydney); “There will always need to be an education component because ethics is not something we’re really touching in our, in the higher education” (32, Software Tester, Canberra); “We’re always checking to see that the Universities actually teach ICT ethics in some way that’s acceptable, that’s reasonable” (50, Course Accreditation Advisor, Canberra); “If the Uni had had this e-Learning thing from the ACS or whomever and included it in one or more of the finishing units, I think it would’ve been really good” (24, Business Analyst, Sydney); “At the Australasian Journal of Information Systems Al-Saggaf, Burmeister & Schwartz 2017, Vol 21, Research on Applied Ethics and ICT Qualifications and Ethics Education 12 bottom level I would say that ethics and humanities need to be included in our courseware” (54, Consultant, Perth).

• The Governance of Information and Communication Technology by Weckert, John; Lucas, Richard (2009) - While the ACS and similar professional bodies in other countries can and do have an effect on the industry, given that there is no accreditation or licensing scheme in place for those in ICT, their role is not the same as similar professional organisations in many other professions. His argument is that there is a middle way between a strict regulation approach to governance on the one hand and the relative powerlessness of ICT professional organisations, what he calls “the vague toothless tiger” approach, on the other.

• Entrapment behind the firewall: the ethics of internal cyber-stings by Luck, Morgan (2019) - Although this may sound straightforward, it is worth noting that: (1) strengthening moral reason for an action doesn’t necessarily make it morally permissible; (2) it is possible to strengthen the moral reason for an action that is already permissible; and (3) that the notion of stronger moral reason can operate under multiple ethical theories. However, before outlining these actions, let’s first be clear about what is meant by “strengthening moral reason”. Keywords: act; consent; cyber; entrapment; ethics; internal; reason; sting
• Towards an Ontology and Ethics of Virtual Influencers by Robinson, Ben (2020) - While real life influencers are clearly responsible for the content of their posts, it is less clear how virtual influencers could be held responsible in the same way. But, even for cases where virtual influencers are not as open about their creation with their followers, their dishonesty is not disproportionate to what real life influencers do when exaggerating the success and beauty of their lives – both cases operate with the same underlying principle of dishonesty in order to attract followers.
