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. keywords: 1491s; activism; berglund; ict; information; journal; man; march; media; native; people; research; video; viewers; women; work; youtube cache: ajis02-1581.pdf plain text: ajis02-1581.txt item: #205 of 855 id: ajis02-1589 author: Farrell, Andrew title: Archiving the Aboriginal Rainbow: Building an Aboriginal LGBTIQ Portal date: 2017 words: 8360 flesch: 43 summary: As a doctoral student, my work has always been provoked by a growing sense of urgency and responsibility towards the idea that Indigenous LGBTIQ peoples must be heard, present, and accounted for.

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). keywords: communities; information; information systems; lim; media; non; profits; systems; technology; use cache: ajis02-1835.pdf plain text: ajis02-1835.txt item: #277 of 855 id: ajis02-184 author: Gartlan, Jovita; Shanks, Graeme title: The Alignment of Business and Information Technology Strategy in Australia date: 2007 words: 11505 flesch: 42 summary: The questionnaire asked respondents to rate the importance and their organisation’s success for the following process factors: A process which promotes clarity and consistency; A process that ensures IT strategy goals are linked with business goals; A process that ensures business strategy goals are linked with IT goals; The availability of a formal process which facilitates alignment; Formal communication processes in place between business and IT decision makers; A formal process that ensures business strategy has a long term (5 year +) focus; A formal process that ensures IT strategy has a long term (5 year +) focus.

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 cache: ajis02-2555.pdf plain text: ajis02-2555.txt item: #400 of 855 id: ajis02-256 author: Fellner, Klement; Turowski, Klaus title: Framework Architecture Enabling an Agent-Based Inter-Company Integration with XML date: 2000 words: 5575 flesch: 48 summary: To include and automate these negotiation processes we propose to use negotiation agents.

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. keywords: care; design; information; management; needs; residents; setting; staff; strauss; technology; trajectory; work; world cache: ajis02-43.pdf plain text: ajis02-43.txt item: #677 of 855 id: ajis02-430 author: Little, S.E. title: Cyberspace Versus Citizenship: IT and emerging non space communities date: 1993 words: 5533 flesch: 38 summary: Sproull and Kiesler (1991) emphasise the difference between immediate technical gains from such technologies and the longer term process of social gains for organisations.

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. keywords: data; information; ownership; property; right; sharing; systems; theories; theory; use cache: ajis02-440.pdf plain text: ajis02-440.txt item: #691 of 855 id: ajis02-441 author: Hasan, Helen title: Information Systems as Dialectic, Tool - Mediated Activity date: 2002 words: 6146 flesch: 43 summary: Figure 4: Four levels of contradictions in a network of human activity systems (Engestrom 1999) Activity systems are constantly working through contradictions within and between their elements and with other related activities. keywords: activity; chat; human; information; knowledge; management; object; subject; systems; work cache: ajis02-441.pdf plain text: ajis02-441.txt item: #692 of 855 id: ajis02-442 author: Johnston, Robert; Milton, Simon title: The Foundation Role for Theories of Agency in Understanding Information Systems Design date: 2002 words: 7657 flesch: 42 summary: Microsoft Word - AJIS special 2002.doc AJIS Special Issue December 2002 40 THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE FOR THEORIES OF AGENCY IN UNDERSTANDING INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN Robert B Johnston & Simon K Milton Department of Information Systems The University of Melbourne r.johnston@dis.unimelb.edu.au s.milton@dis.unimelb.edu.au ABSTRACT In this paper we argue that theories of agency form a foundation upon which we can build a deeper understanding of information systems design.

Jain Institute of Management and Research India debasis.mallik@spjimr.org ABSTRACT Risk management and success in projects are highly intertwined – better approaches to project risk management tend to increase chances of project success in terms of achieving scope & quality, schedule and cost targets. Though major international studies reiterate about all four responses strategies applied in project risk management at different levels, in India the major response strategy as perceived by project managers is Mitigation. keywords: acceptance; avoidance; communication; cost; factors; impact; information; journal; management; mitigation; number; project; project management; project risk; quality; risk; risk management; risk response; scope; software; software project; strategies; study; success; systems; targets; transference; variables cache: ajis02-923.pdf plain text: ajis02-923.txt item: #845 of 855 id: ajis02-927 author: Weli, Weli title: Manager Satisfaction in Using the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System and Managerial Performance date: 2014 words: 6728 flesch: 49 summary: Similarly, according to Sajadi et al.

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). keywords: computing; hybrid; jobs; level; manager; organisations; roles; skills; technical; women; work cache: ajis02-94.pdf plain text: ajis02-94.txt item: #850 of 855 id: ajis02-95 author: Singh, Supriya; Bartolo, Kylie title: Grounded Theory and User Requirements: a challenge for qualitative research date: 2005 words: 6939 flesch: 58 summary: Prior theory and literature Open ended interviews – grounded theory of use Analysis stage – Grounded theory and preliminary scenarios and social user requirements Workshopped ideas with technologists and business partners Go back to users with scenario prototype Workshop modified SP with technologists and business partners Prototype Participatory design Figure 2: The open-ended interview and the scenario prototype GROUNDED THEORY AND USER REQUIREMENTS: THE NEW APPROACH Based on our experience we suggest two modifications to qualitative research which aims to lead to both grounded theory and grounded user requirements design.
