Business Informatics and the Information Systems Perspective: Implementing the IS 2010 Curriculum

This article describes how the Business Informatics program at Northern Kentucky University (NKU) has evolved and, in so doing, has addressed the call from the IS 2010 Curriculum Design Committee listed below. The article initiates this discussion with a discussion of the basic systems perspective that underlies the information systems discipline. The next section presents a review of the creation of a College of Informatics (COI) at NKU that included the strategic decision of structurally moving the Information Systems Department from the College of Business. The authors then document the perceptual shift this decision created as the Information Systems Department changed its name to Business Informatics and took on the goal of expanding the discipline beyond the business domain with partnerships across campus. A short discussion on the progress made in implementing this vision is detailed. The article closes with a discussion of problems and opportunities generated.     

Assessing eGovernment systems success: A validation of the DeLone and McLean model of information systems success

With the proliferation of the Internet and World Wide Web applications, people are increasingly interacting with government to citizen (G2C) eGovernment systems. It is therefore important to measure the success of G2C eGovernment systems from the citizen's perspective. While general information systems (IS) success models have received much attention from researchers, few studies have been conducted to assess the success of eGovernment systems. The extent to which traditional IS success models can be extended to investigating eGovernment systems success remains unclear. This study provides the first empirical test of an adaptation of DeLone and McLean's IS success model in the context of G2C eGovernment. The model consists of six dimensions: information quality, system quality, service quality, use, user satisfaction, and perceived net benefit. Structural equation modeling techniques are applied to data collected by questionnaire from 119 users of G2C eGovernment systems in Taiwan. Except for the link from system quality to use, the hypothesized relationships between the six success variables are significantly or marginally supported by the data. The findings provide several important implications for eGovernment research and practice. This paper concludes by discussing limitations of the study which should be addressed in future research.     

信息技术/系统(IT/IS)应用效果评估方法综述

随着信息系统在企业的广泛应用与IT投资额的迅速增长,IT/IS应用效果的评估日益成为学术界和企业界的热门话题和关键的管理问题。本文综述了国外在该方面的研究结果,对信息系统评估内涵与系统有效性的概念进行了归纳概括,并对其评估方法进行了总结。     

中国信息系统(IS)研究的多样性研究

本文对 1999年至 2 0 0 3年中国管理类 18种重要期刊中的 6 0 4篇信息系统 (IS)领域文章进行了实证研究 ,目的在于分析国内IS研究的多样性。本文从研究题目、参考学科、研究方法、分析层次 4个角度 ,对中国IS研究的多样性进行了描述和时间序列分析。通过与国外IS研究多样性的比较 ,本文阐释了中国IS研究多样性的特征。最后分析了IS研究多样性对于中国IS学科发展可能产生的正、负面影响 ,并提出了相应措施。     

中国IS—LM曲线的特殊性探讨——基于投机性货币需求扩展的理论分析与计量检验

通过对凯恩斯投机性货币需求理论二元货币市场结构的扩展,重构我国的IS—LM模型,得出IS、LM曲线斜率均为负的假定;利用1990—2008年统计数据,对我国IS—LM曲线进行计量检验,结果支持我国LM曲线斜率为负的假定。我国LM曲线向左上方倾斜的主要原因有三:一是主要采取调节存款准备金率或者直接调节利率的方式对货币供应量进行调控,而非通过债券市场调节货币供应;二是金融市场结构不是简单的货币、债券二元市场结构,还包括股市、楼市等;三是利率低市场化。研究表明,我国的财政政策比货币政策更能增进产出水平。应加快债券市场发展,完善央行调控货币供应的工具体系,维护币值稳定,抑制楼市及股市投机现象,并继续推进利率市场化和国有企业改革。     

论信息系统在企业并购中的作用

从信息系统的角度分析并购研究的整合模型，讨论与理解信息系统作用相关的研究发现。该分析被分为三部分：战略协调性、组织协调性及并购整合过程。用于分析的整合模型的所有三个维度都涉及到了对于信息系统十分重要且有着潜在作用的相关问题。     

信息技术竞争价值两种观点的比较研究

从理论基础、获取竞争优势的方式和竞争优势的持续性三个维度对战略信息技术应用领域中两种重要观点进行比较研究．基于传统竞争战略观点的战略信息系统,通过识别信息系统（IS）应用的战略机会为企业创造竞争优势,但这种优势由于忽视企业自身特性而难以持续．基于资源基础论（RBV）观点的企业信息技术能力,通过调用和部署企业特有的IS资源为企业获得长期竞争优势．提出了一种IS资源分类方式,并根据资源的六个属性进行描述,分析IS资源对信息技术能力和组织绩效的作用机制,指出信息技术能力研究中存在的问题．     

论区域创新系统

在经济全球化程度加深、知识经济时代来临、可持续发展思想普及的社会经济前景下，世界经济发展愈来愈呈现出区域化特征，区域创新能力、潜力和区域创新系统构建已成为区域获取竞争优势的决策因素。本从区域创新系统的功能要素和创新对象角度出发，认为区域创新系统主 要由四部分构成：区域发展战略创新－－区域创新系统构建的前提；技术创新－区域创新系统的核心；制度创新－区域创新系统的基础；区域形象及区域营销创新－区域创新系统的新内容。并认为区域创新网络是把区域创新系统的各主体要素和对象要素和对象要素有机结合的主要形式和有效载体。     

From fighting COVID-19 pandemic to tackling sustainable development goals: An opportunity for responsible information systems research

The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant threat to the healthy lives and well-being of billions of people worldwide. As the world begins to open up from lockdowns and enters an unprecedented state of vulnerability, or what many have called “the new normal”, it makes sense to reflect on what we have learned, revisit our fundamental assumptions, and start charting the way forward to contribute to building a sustainable world. In this essay, we argue that despite its significant damage to human lives and livelihoods, the coronavirus pandemic presents an excellent opportunity for the human family to act in solidarity and turn this crisis into an impetus to achieve the United Nation’s (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In this article, we will highlight the six relevant themes that have evolved during the pandemic and the corresponding topics that future researchers could focus on. We conclude by issuing a call for more research attention on tackling SDG through developing the concept and practice of digital sustainability.
