What are the key aspects to achieving acceptable usability outcomes for information systems being developed? The changing technologies and increased usage across the general population, the impacts of this in our everyday lives, at work and at leisure are exponentially increasing. The interfaces and interaction styles presented as part of these technologies have been challenged to be more intuitive, contextually sensitive, location aware, human centred and aimed at a larger community of stakeholders.

This research aims to develop novel approaches capable for effectively solving the IS project evaluation and selection problem in a simple and straightforward manner. More specifically, this research will: (a) Conduct a comprehensive review of existing approaches to evaluating and selecting IS projects; (b) Develop novel approaches for evaluating and selecting IS projects; and (c) Demonstrate the applicability of the developments in real IS project evaluation and selection situations with real world applications.

SYSTEM DESIGN AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOR IN ELECTRONIC COMMERCE Hanushek cautions: “If the efficiency of our school systems is due to poor incentives for teachers and administrators coupled with poor decisionmaking by consumers, it would be unwise to expect much from programs that seek to strengthen ‘market forces’ in the selection of schools,” (1981, p. 34-35; emphasis added). Moreover, if students’ outcomes depend importantly on the characteristics of their classmates (i.e.

ORGANIZATIONL CHANGE THROUGH THE MANDATED IMOLEMENTATION OF NEW INFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY : A MODIFIED TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL A second shortcoming of the validity literature is more fundamental. In a world in which student background characteristics are known to be correlated with academic success (i.e. with both SAT scores and collegiate grades), it is quite difficult to interpret validity estimates that fail to take account of these background characteristics.

INFORMATION ENGINEERING IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES: AN INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGER'S PERSPECTIVE For many purposes, however, one need not know why it is that schools with advantaged students outscore those with disadvantaged students; the fact that they do is itself of substantial importance. This dissertation focuses on two such topics: The competitive impacts of school choice programs, and the design of college admissions rules. In each case, when I incorporate into the standard analysis the key fact that student composition may function as a signal of student performance (and vice versa),...

INFORMATION SYSTEM QUALITY : AN EXAMINATION OF SERVICE-BASED MODELS AND ALTERNATIVES If both peer group and school effectiveness are important to parents, then, the Tiebout mechanism rewards effective administrators only when there are many districts. Model (3) suggests that in this case the test score gap between high- and low-income schools will tend to be larger in markets with a great deal of interdistrict competition than in those with less Tiebout choice. I test for this in the empirical analysis below....

THE RELATIONSHIP OF CROSS-CULTURAL DIFFRECES TO THE VALUES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS PROFESTIONAL WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT For each (δ , J) combination, I estimated a regression of μ j on x j analogous to those estimated from actual data in Section 1.5, pooling all 5,000 simulated markets and including a fixed effect for each. The resulting estimates of ( ) ( ) ( ) θ δ , J = cov x j ,μ j var x j are displayed in Figure 1.3. The trends identified in Figures 1.1 and 1.2 are again clear. First,...

THE VALUES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS PROFESSTIONALS : AN INVESTIGATION INTO BARRIERS PREVETING INTERGRATION OF IS WITH THE ORGANIZATION The remaining panels show progressively higher valuations for the peer group: δ = 0.5, 1.5, and 3 . As δ grows, progressively less complete sortings become equilibria and average μ j values collapse toward the overall mean.32 Moreover, the collapse happens more quickly for threedistrict markets than for those with ten districts.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE DECENTRALIZATION OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS UNIT IN ORGANIZATIONS : A CONTIGENCY APPROACH Figure 1.2 displays the average allocation of school effectiveness in markets with three and ten equally-sized districts. Panel A depicts the case where parents are unconcerned about the peer group, as in the left-hand panels of Figure 1.1. Here, families must be perfectly sorted on school effectiveness in equilibrium, and the average μ ’s depicted in the figure are simply order statistics from the standard normal distribution....

Inter Organizational information system use in supply chaizn : Toward an integration of competence based and transaction cost based views of the firm Importantly, one would expect the degree of local competition in public schooling (i.e. the number of school districts in the local area among which parents can choose) to affect the magnitude of θ * whenever parents care both about peer groups and school effectiveness.
