207. Exploring the impact of instant messaging on subjective task complexity and user satisfaction.

Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates the possible effect of instant messaging (IM) in subjective task quality and user satisfaction in the workplace. The study theorizes and examines how the frequency of IM disruptions and the position power of message sender can interact with the polychronic orientation of an individual, which is multitasking preference. Results show that the information processing of polychronic individuals is less influenced by the position power of message sender.

208. THE ROLE OF MASS CUSTOMIZATION IN ENHANCING SUPPLY CHAIN RELATIONSHIPS IN B2C E-COMMERCE MARKETS.

Abstract

Traditional supply chain management utilized traditional media and channels to link firms in linear, inefficient relationships. The advent of electronic commerce over the Internet has facilitated new relationships for connecting with new supply chain partners, thereby significantly increasing the quantity and quality of' inter-organizational information flows. These information flows are theoretically evaluated using the principles of information quality dimensions. In addition, a new breed of market makers, or information intermediaries, is defining new functional relationships between the different players. The direct channel between manufacturers (or digital content providers) and consumers is enabling mass-customization, and is influencing the demand forecasting and inventory management functions. Mass customization is discussed in the context of both digital and physical goods, along with an analysis of information quality dimensions. Finally, the impact of these new supply chain information flows on industries and macroeconomic conditions is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

209. Geographically-referenced information for decision support (GRIDS): A study of spatial decision environments

Author

Warkentin, Merrill Eugene and Warkentin, Merrill Eugene

Abstract

Every decision is performed in a unique decision environment comprised of objective and perceived dimensions. Objective dimensions can be metrically defined. The perceived dimensions of decision environments, including spatiality, are usually poorly-defined and ill-structured. This exploratory study investigates the spatial decision environment through the design and implementation of two geographically-referenced decision support systems (DSS), which provide geographically-referenced information for decision support (GRIDS) to their users. The spatial decisions and spatial characteristics are fully analyzed. Decision-maker perceptions of the spatial decision environment are emphasized as critical elements of effective system design and implementation strategies. Four spatial decisions in two organizations are explored in this study. One organization, the Nebraska State Patrol, is a public service agency which must deploy its limited manpower to locations throughout the state to satisfy the goal of effective statewide traffic law enforcement. Additionaly, the Troopers who actively patrol the state's highways must continually decide where to position themselves in order to quickly respond to service calls and to effectively deter traffic law violations through visible patrol activities. A georeferenced DSS is developed for macrogeographic allocation, and information requirements analysis is performed for the other decisions. The administrators of the other organization, a financial institution, wish to respond to the newly deregulated banking environment by opening a new branch bank facility this year. A geobased DSS is developed for this branch bank location decision. The findings show that for decisions perceived to exhibit significant spatiality, unique systems analysis and design approaches are required. Spatial perception analysis is a necessary element of successful decision support system projects. Several decision contingencies exist for which appropriate sys

Abstract

Major technology companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google popularized virtual assistant technology through their existing product platforms. Virtual assistants serve people every day with tasks such as setting calendar events and timers, creating shopping lists, and controlling internet-of-things (IoT) devices. Looking forward, virtual assistants may drastically change the way in which both medical and therapeutic care are delivered to patients. They have great potential to disrupt many traditional relationships. Virtual assistants can launch third party applications and integrate with many external devices and services. This provides a plethora of possibilities to deliver healthcare in an affordable fashion. For example, an elderly person may not be able to afford an in-home nurse who will ensure they take their prescription medications. However, the virtual assistant could ensure that the elder has not yet consumed their medicine from their IoTenabled medicine holder and remind them to do so. There may also therapeutic applications of virtual assistants, such as speech pathology applications that deliver ondemand voice therapy or psychological counseling applications that deliver computerized counseling when and where it is needed. There are several potential implications to consider. First, we look to Media Richness Theory (MRT) to explore the communication medium of spoken, automated voice with comparison to spoken, human voice. This provides insight into the potential effectiveness of such systems for the initial acceptance of the technologies. With this, we will adapt constructs using the Task-Technology Fit (TTF) to explore the performance and utilization of this technology. Finally, we will move forward with a survey of various stakeholders to inform the design of a later field experiment that will measure the actual behavior of the patients, healthcare professionals, and other individuals in this context who may be impacted.
