Interactivity is a key feature of interface between human and technology. This study explores how interactivity perception influence customers' intentions of using an SST The results revealed the elements of interactivity (communication, control, and responsiveness) do impact the intentions of customers to use an SST in the future; however, their impact was mediated through perceived value and satisfaction. Increased interactivity perceptions influenced perceived value and satisfaction, which in turn were associated with stronger SST usage intentions.

This study aims to theoretically construct a research model based on literature review in order to investigate the trust factors that affect the adoption of cloud-based supply chain management (SCM) systems. A new research model is comprised of six antecedent trust factors (communication, learning capacity, participation, usability, security, and reliability) that should influence the supply chain partners on the trust in cloud-based SCM systems and the adoption of cloud-based SCM systems. Further, the trust in cloud-based SCM systems may mediate the effects of these six trust factors on the adoption of cloud-based SCM systems. This trust model will be further tested in the pharmaceutical industry context. Future studies could also be conducted in other types of industries in different countries with different cultures in order to test the generalizability of the model.

Composite dispatching rules are of great importance in solving realistic scheduling problems because they are fast and easy to implement. Under some circumstances, a quick and easy solution is needed for prompt implementation, in which the dynamic scaling parameter value adjustment, which is required by the fitted function methods in the literature, may not be allowed. On the other hand, for a given scheduling system, the problem instances that appear over time may have a lot in common, such as similar setup times or due date assignments. If the most frequent region of the problem instance is known in advance, the appropriate robust scaling parameters can be found using loss function for good and stable performance. In this paper, a loss function based method is proposed to find the robust scaling parameter values for Apparent Tardiness Cost with Setups (ATCS) rule under such circumstances. The computation results show that the identified robust scaling parameters (k1= 0.8, k2 = 0.1) achieve better performance than the fitted function method in the literature.

Information technology (IT) acts as an important role in the hospitality and tourism industries. Without the IT department providing effective IT relating services, the employees can't offer the quality of service to their customers. In this study, casino employees are the main subject of the investigation. The purpose is identifying the improvement priority among those IT service quality attributes provided by IT department, and the questionnaire has adopted the importance-satisfaction model (I-S model) as the major research model. The result has also demonstrated some service items need to be improved.

Work-life issues gradually received much attention in contemporary Chinese society since the trend in communication and the diversity of labor market composition from recent economy development as well as technology innovation. Especially, female professionals make these so-called ‘virtuous wife, good mother’ face challenges to fit in with the demands in-between various life domains, such as family and organizations. To better understand the interactive effects between professionals' work-life concerns and coping strategies, semistructured interviews were adopted from 10 female professionals of Taiwanese banks to explore the following issues: the role expectations from daily life, the rationale of work-life boundary and the relevant coping mechanisms from work-life domains (e.g. technical support). Results show female professionals re-arrange their physical and psychological status to fit in with the gender stereotype and daily challenges from existing resource-demand context; the findings may bring practical implications for organizations to build up a family-friendly workplace.

This study developed a concise but balanced spreadsheet model, and considered both of the preferences of applicants and the fairness among chances. It set two weights in the model, in which one weight is for preference and the second is for chance preference ratio. The purpose can be achieved to maximize the sum of double-weighted score. The model is tested through a case study, which involves 65 applicants and 7 tasks. Each applicant can choose 3 preferred tasks and finally each applicant only be assigned to one task. The double-weighted method is proved to surpass the manual operation and single-weighted (preference) method both in preference success rate index and in average score variance index.

In this paper, we study the filter trading rule for intraday trading and explore the problem of finding a suitable filter size based on intraday volatilities. We explore several intraday volatility estimators such as daily range, realized range and realized volatility and study how the filter trading profit for a day with certain volatility depends on the filter size. The bivariate thin plate spline model is used to model the predictor-responsor relationship between the daily volatility, filter size and trading profit. The estimation shows that filter trading rule favors large volatilities in general while the optimal filter size is increasing with the volatility. It also shows that the estimation based on daily range volatility is most reliable among all chosen intraday volatility proxies.

Quick response (QR) code utilization is everywhere from magazines and posters to Facebook and Twitter. Today's mobile devices offer advanced capabilities along with unprecedented security risks that the majority of users don't realize exist - QR code scanning is a good example. In this study we intend to investigate the perceived risk and its mitigation of employing a digital QR code certification pop-up message that warns users against malicious QR codes and prevent users from being tricked into a hacker scheme. Data analysis and results will be presented and discussed.
