The Role of Information Overload to Participate in Social Networks

In: EFL Quarterly 3/2013; Frankfurt am Main

Category: Miscellaneous [Find it]

Abstract

SOCIAL NETWORKS ARE COMMONLY USED IN PRIVATE AND BUSINESS LIFE. DIFFERENT STUDIES OUTLINE THAT THIS TREND WILL INCREASE IN THE NEARER FUTURE. IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIORAL INTENTION TO PARTICIPATE IN SOCIAL NETWORKS OF NEXT GENERATION EMPLOYEES, WE EXTENDED THE WELL-ESTABLISHED THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOUR TO HABIT AND INFORMATION OVERLOAD. USING SURVEY DATA FROM 262 PARTICIPANTS, WE FOUND THAT THE OVERLOAD OF INFORMATION PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PARTICIPATE IN SOCIAL NETWORKS, BESIDES THE HABIT TO USE SUCH NETWORKS.

Enhancing IT Artifacts Construction with Explantory and Predictive Knowledge in Design Science Research

In: Journal of Information Technology Case and Application Research (15:1), pp.

Category: Publications in scientific journals

Abstract

Design science research (DSR) has become an area of interest within information systems (IS) through its possibility to develop information technology (IT) artifacts in a structured way and to derive theoretical findings at the same time. In this paper, we present findings from the development of three IT artifacts together with industry. We started these development projects with a strict DSR lens but soon realized that guidelines recommended by established DSR frameworks fall short when it comes to develop predictive and explanatory knowledge. In addition, existing DSR frameworks do not consider the non-linear, dynamic process of IT artifact development, especially when conducted together with partners from industry. Thus, in the aftermath we conducted a comparison between our research approach and resulting findings with relevant literature on theorizing in IS to generate explanatory and predictive knowledge in DSR. In so doing, we were able to enrich the IT artifact development process with techniques to generate explanatory and predictive knowledge. This paper summarizes our findings in a reflection of the three IT artifact development projects as well as illustrates how explanatory and predictive knowledge can be generated and used in DSR.

How IT-Based Co-Creation can Provide Small Banks Access to the Financial Market – A Prototype Development from a Design Science Research Perspective

In: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST); Milwaukee, WI, USA

Category: Proceedings [Find it]

Abstract

The asset-backed securities (ABS) market shrank due to the financial crises in 2007/2008. The financial collapse was caused by both the consumer and the commercial ABS markets failure. However, the ABS market is an important source of funding for market participants in the financial services industry. Hence, we see a returning trend for ABS markets and present in this paper the development of a prototype from a design science research (DSR) perspective to enable smaller banks to securitize and sell their assets. Given the relatively low mortgage and credit volumes within smaller banks they are currently not able to package and sell their securities. The prototype developed in this paper offers a solution by pooling all mortgages gathered from hundreds of smaller banks, calculating the attached risk, and finally, selling them to investors. In this context, DSR enabled us to build such a cooperative strategy in form of a prototype.

Abstract

A challenge that IS researchers face in general is to combine the goals of generating new scientific knowledge while at the same time producing practically relevant research results, e.g., in the form of IT artefacts. To combine rigor and relevance, researchers and practitioners need to collaborate to develop and employ methods that enable both the systematic generation of scientific insights and the knowledge exchange between academia and industry. In this paper, we present the findings of a research project where we entered into an industry-academic collaboration with the financial services industry involving three software development and implementation projects. We adopted a design science research approach to accompany the project and to guide the scientific discovery process. In the course of our research process we developed an innovative research model that integrates our experiences from the research project with existing design science research models.
