In the last two decades, reliance on computerised systems has increased rapidly. Some organisations depend totally on computerised information systems to carry out their operations as well as to process, maintain, and report essential information. However, the reliability of computerised data has become a major concern to risk management. Due to the degree of reliance on information systems, risk management has become an increasingly essential part of most organisations' daily operations. If potential risks are not managed, it could have a major impact on the organisation's strategic objectives and could manifest in the derailment of the entire organisation's processes and activities. This study used case study research method to investigate and understand how IS risks are managed in the organisation and how Risk Management Systems (RMS) are deployed. Structuration Theory (ST) was employed for the analysis of the data collected.

This paper develops a theoretical framework linking internal resistance to external knowledge (sources). The literature often refers to internal resistance against externally developed knowledge as the Not Invented Here Syndrome. In line with the Social Identity Theory we argue that external knowledge might increase a comparison of the in-group's expertise with that of the out-group and as such threaten the identity of the group and its members. In addition we argue that the source of external knowledge matters. Knowledge acquired from similar organizations is more likely to lead to internal resistance than knowledge from dissimilar organizations. We argue that competitors are most similar to the focal organization and that therefore the NIH syndrome occurs when knowledge is acquired from competitors but not if this knowledge is acquired from suppliers, customers or universities.

The writer discusses the impetus and resistance in technological innovation in enterprises in China, and points out that the targets of the government and the enterprises are partly same, still there is an invisible game between them, so it is the government's task to guide, help, support and incite enterprises to innovate. The opportunity cost, which had been ignored, would be huge without enough encouragement from governments, thus the most important task for the Chinese governments is to build a social environment conducive to technological innovation.

This research shows that innovation and production share certain common properties. Like experience in manufacturing, innovation results in the accumulation of knowledge by learning by doing. Similar to manufacturing, this knowledge depreciates over time and is forgotten. In addition to the depreciation of knowledge, the turnover of scientists results in forgetting and in lower R&D productivity. Using patent data of over 600 firms and 20,000 scientists from the U.S. and Canadian biotechnology industry from 1970 to 2007, I model scientist knowledge as a vector of skills in different technologies and determine the effect of forgetting in research and development.

The small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in economic development for any country. Thus, the SMEs need to raise their competitive advantage. Usually, they consider “quality” as the competitive weapon, but because of the limited resources and lack of talent, they perform very few quality practices only, and result in a very limited effectiveness. In order to assist SMEs to raise their competition based on the improvement of quality, we develop a systematic framework of quality management with five stages for SMEs. Based on this developed model, we conduct an empirical study to investigate the status of the implementation levels and the effectiveness degrees of the practices in the five stages for the SMEs. We also analyze the implementation performance of the practices based on the I-E matrix.

Decisions on which processes, tools and techniques will be used in order to accomplish project objectives in the most efficient way are contingent upon specific project features. One of the most challenging of such features is the project's complexity. The objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge on the concept of project complexity, relations between project complexity and use of specific project management processes and techniques. A questionnaire was submitted to 313 project managers. The data analysis indicated that the complexity of projects managed by the participants is generated by the criticality of the goals and can influence the frequency of use of processes and techniques related to the project planning and people management.

This paper proposes a new approach to evaluate future technological value of patents using TRIZ evolution trends. Previous studies using TRIZ evolution trends have determined patents with high evolutionary potential as high value technology in the future without considering relative importance of each TRIZ trend in a specific technology domain. Thus, previous approaches have limitations in that the importance of TRIZ evolution trends can be different according to the technology domain and current stage of the technology cycle of the technology domain. To overcome such limitations, we propose a method which can consider the priority of importance of TRIZ evolution trends and the technology cycle. To this end, we adopted an SAO-based text mining approach and semantic similarity measurement method.

Researchers have not specifically considered the determinants of post-purchase intention with regard to online insurance purchases. By consulting DeLone and McLean's ISS model, this study develops and empirically examines a model of the impact of system quality, information quality, and perceived product complexity on post-purchase intention in this context. Data collected from 177 online-insurance consumers provided support for the model. The results indicated that system quality, information quality, and perceived product complexity were significant determinants of post-purchase intention in the online-insurance context. Implications and future research directions are also discussed.

This research applies agent-based negotiation approach to construct a multi-agent-based framework and solve parallel machines rescheduling with eligibility. The proposed architecture comprises three types of agents: job agents, machine agents, and supervisor agent. The decision model is built in each job/machine agent for bid selection to ensure better global objectives can be reached. The supervisor agent is used to manage negotiations between job agents and machine agents and monitor the production process. When there are some disruptive events occurred, the supervisor agent will arrange dynamically a reactive scheduling to update the current production scheduling in order to provide an immediate response to the unexpected event. The objectives are multiple, which include total weighted tardiness, total flow time, and utilization.
