We present findings from a longitudinal, empirical study of online privacy policies. Our research found that although online privacy policies have improved in quality and effectiveness since 2000, they still fall well short of the level of privacy assurance desired by consumers. This study has identified broad areas of deficiency in existing online privacy policies, and offers a solution in the form of an holistic framework for the development, factors and content of online privacy policies for organizations. Our study adds to existing theory in this area and, more immediately, will assist businesses concerned about the effect of privacy issues on consumer Web usage.

In recent years, many firms have adopted outsourcing as a means to govern their information technology (IT) operations. While outsourcing is associated with several important benefits, it also entails risk. The main purpose of this study was to validate measures of the risk factors associated with outsourcing IT operations. Insights from transaction costs theory suggest that risk factors are inherent in the transaction itself, the supplier and the client. A survey of 132 senior IT executives was conducted to assess the measures, and reliability and validity assessment was performed using PLS.

In this paper, we measure productivity growth of the information technology (IT) industries in fourteen OECD countries over the thirteen-year period of 1978 through 1990. The IT industries are the providers of IT capital goods, and this macro-level analysis seeks to find out how efficiently IT capital goods are produced. The basic unit of analysis employed is the Malmquist Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index. The Malmquist TFP index is next decomposed into three constituent elements accounting for different sources of productivity growth: technological progress, efficiency change, and the effects of economies of scale. The approach of measurement is based the concept of distance functions and employs the non-parametric frontier method of data envelopment analysis (DEA). Our results indicate that each country's IT industry manifests its own particular patterns in various performance measures. Among the fourteen countries examined, ten had witnessed productivity growth in their IT industries. Overall, these IT industries are found more productive than other industries when compared with previous research. Further analyses reveal that most of productivity growth measured is due to technological progress. Efficiency change is found to exert a relatively small positive effect on the productivity growth. Moreover, the change of scale economies unfavorably affects productivity for most countries. Finally, practical implications for formulating IT policy are drawn from our results for further discussions.

Learning is the most indispensable activity in the current knowledge-based economy where firms, in order to compete and survive, must be constantly alert, capable of adapting to fast change, constantly learn, evolve, and transform themselves rapidly. In that respect, the use of innovative information and communication technology is perceived to play a key role in the development of new learning platforms and mechanisms. One of the emerging solutions is electronic training "eTraining", which is a growing trend and is expected to become crucial in meeting newly introduced challenges and in catering for changing and diversified market needs. The global connectivity of the Internet and the availability of innovative information and communication technology are factors that have contributed in catalyzing the new Internet-based learning paradigm offering great opportunities for organizations to educate and train their management and staff. However, Internet-based training poses several considerable challenges for various organizations especially those operating in developing countries. Within the context of transferring and using information and communication technology into developing countries, this paper demonstrates the outcome of a research aiming at investigating the effectiveness and applicability of Internet-based training in providing training for organizations in Egypt. The focus of the research was mainly soliciting the opinions of three different groups of stake holders; human resources or training managers responsible for setting training policies; instructors responsible for facilitating courses and preparing material; and trainees undertaking the training.

Reliance on market mechanisms and decentralized decisions as alternatives to central planning and government regulation of energy and other critical infrastructure enterprises has gained momentum worldwide over the last decade. This trend has been seen as the sale of government owned and operated monopolies in energy (electricity, gas and oil), in water and in public transportation. In nations such as the United States where independent ownership was frequently the case, increased dependence on market mechanism is replacing governmental price regulation in these same industries. Whether under the title of privatization, deregulation or restructuring, the movement has been toward allowing competitive market forces to set prices for essential commodities that in the past were actively controlled through direct government ownership or regulation. Within the US there is increased pressure for reregulation of the commodities and for regulation of the derivative markets that have been established to hedge commodity price volatility.

E-services refer to the services offered over the Internet. The globalization of economy accelerates the provision of e-services across organizations. Instead of being built from scratch, e-services are mostly extended from existing internal workflows or information systems. In this paper, we examine the requirements of extending a workflow to the provision of e-services, in order to fulfill predefined business processes and data requirements. We also discuss the support of exception handling and asynchronous events across organizational boundaries, through an event publish-and-subscribe mechanism. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach with the E-ADOME extension layer of our ADOME-WFMS, further illustrated with a system integration example. Our event-driven execution model provides a unified framework for both synchronous execution of workflow and asynchronous handling of events and exceptions. Illustrations are also given on the provision of such e-services over the infrastructure of Web services and Enterprise JavaBeans.

This study attempts to extend the meaning of personalization and argues that not only personal information needs but also emotional or mental needs aroused by outside influences need to be taken into account. This study introduces a new dimension in the process of filtering out unnecessary information: the conformity behavior. Conformity means that people will tend to converge on similar behavior because they are affected by social norms. This study compares the effects of four personalization mechanisms on subjective decision quality. The results show that pure conformity is better than target conformity. Target conformity is no significant different from collaborative filtering. The result could help people re-examine the ideal approach in making personalization systems.

Novel online file sharing technologies have created new market dynamics and posed a great challenge to the music industry to try and retain customers. Consumers have created anonymous online networks to exchange audio files at little cost, which has led to millions of shared, illegal copies of music files and related sales losses to the industry. Legal efforts to counter this trend have lagged the advances in technology. This research presents an analysis of selling strategies that can increase a music seller's revenues as online piracy continues to flourish. We study and compare scenarios of traditional music store selling with those of online-based strategies. We model and analyze pure per-unit, pure subscription and mixed strategies for online music services. Analytical modeling, empirical study and simulation analysis were used to investigate the issues in detail. Our results suggest that the quality of pirated music and search effort have a significant impact on viable strategies. For instance, as the quality of pirated music approaches that of a legal online seller, the per unit service becomes the least viable option. An interesting finding was that strategies that minimize piracy do not necessarily maximize revenues. In fact, both revenues and social welfare can be maximized in the subscription-based environment, even though they may lead to higher levels of piracy. Our research findings not only offer insights into an online experience market, but can also serve as a contemporary reflection on other similar information markets.

Electronic customer relationship management (eCRM) has become the latest paradigm in the world of customer relationship management. Recent business surveys suggest that up to 50% of such implementations do not yield measurable returns on investment. A secondary analysis of 13 case studies suggests that many of these limited success implementations can be attributed to usability and resistance factors. The objective of this paper is to review the general usability and resistance principles in order build an integrative framework for analyzing eCRM case studies. The conclusions suggest that if organizations want to get the most from their eCRM implementations they need to revisit the general principles of usability and resistance and apply them.

In the digital economy of information and communication technology, several organizations from various industries are jumping onto the bandwagon of offering consumer-oriented electronic commerce applications. In Singapore, Internet stock trading has been at the forefront of this trend since 1998. However, to date, the penetration rate of online trading remains low. As such, this paper attempts to analyze the factors that affect the growth of Internet stock trading. We used Taylor and Todd's (1995) decomposed theory of planned behavior (TPB) framework to explain investors' acceptance through their intentions to trade online and to rationalize their intentions in terms of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and other related variables. The model is tested based on 291 responses obtained through personal interviews. The measures and hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results show that attitude and social factors significantly influence investors' intention towards adopting Internet stock trading.
