In the history of banking services, mobile banking has been thought of as a key interactive channel between financial institutions and customers. The last decade there has been an increasing interest in studying mobile banking topic. Most literature in the field of mobile banking has only focused on an individual approach and lacked the macro approach and industry approach. Therefore, this research aims to show a comprehensive review of mobile banking research in past decade and analyses the significant results from previous research. This paper makes a contribution to a deeper understanding of mobile banking from a macro approach and industry approach.

Since the 1970s, research has illuminated the personal and social dimensions of the experience of stuttering in the discipline of speech-language pathology. However, the disabling experiences of individuals who stutter remain underrepresented within the body of scholarship. We searched for articles published in English, between 1990/01/01 and 2017/12/31, in the Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, PsychInfo and PsychArticles databases. After screening, 31 full text articles met the criteria for inclusion. Five themes emerged: implementation context, theories and methods, population, definitions of stuttering and areas of research. This descriptive review lays the groundwork for future disability research in the context of the lived experience of people who stutter. Over the last four decades, there has been increased interest in the personal and social experience of people who stutter. However, limited research has explored the disabling experiences of people who stutter. We present a review in order to illuminate the trends and patterns in the current body of qualitative research. We found that various aspects of the experience of people who stutter were explored using different approaches and methods. This descriptive review identifies opportunities for further development of the field and lays the groundwork for future disability research in the context of the experiences of people who stutter, taking account of other aspects of their identities such as gender, race and age.

The purpose of this paper is to identify gaps in the opportunity management literature (as a subset of overall risk management) and to identify future research in opportunity management. The methodology is non-experimental, using a descriptive literature review content analysis of opportunity management articles published between 2010 and 2019. The identified strengths and weaknesses establish a future research agenda, including process steps and tailoring, risk exposure, and balanced risk. The research resulted in a repeatable methodology that can be applied to other research domains in addition to the opportunity management research agenda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• A multi-dimensional potential practical relevance framework is proposed. • Using the framework, the scholarly IS strategy articles over the past 10 years in five top IS journals are reviewed. • Key strengths as well as opportunities to increase the potential practical relevance of this research area are identified. While studies suggest that IS strategy is an important topic for practitioners, in-depth explorations of the potential practical relevance of this research area are lacking. In this paper, we develop a multidimensional framework of potential practical relevance and use it to conduct a multimethod descriptive review of 109 IS strategy papers published over the past 10 years in top IS journals. The framework contributes to the IS literature by synthesizing various characteristics that make a research project conducive to being practically relevant. The review highlights how IS strategy research has offered the potential for practical relevance in the past and recommends opportunities to increase this, especially in the digitalization era.

Smart City (SC) has been a popular area of research and practice during the last decade. An in-depth examination of the existing literature reviews on SCs divulges the scarcity of studies classifying the literature into multiple themes and identifying the popular and less popular themes based on the number of peer reviewed research papers under respective theme. Hence, in this study, a descriptive literature review of 86 peer-reviewed papers on SCs has been conducted to bridge this gap. The findings demonstrate that themes such as SC services design and management, innovation and technology, and citizens' engagement in design and development of SCs have been extensively studied, whereas, themes such as the social impact, governance and policy, and performance indicators and standards have received moderate attention. However, there are also less popular themes such as the implementation barriers and SC strategy. Further, this study provides a reference source to future researchers. It also delivers valuable information to the policymakers and government bodies, which are actively, involved in the SC projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a descriptive review of the information system (IS) infusion literature and proposes a structured framework of factors influencing IS infusion. The IS infusion stage, the last stage of IS implementation, is associated with IS implementation success and evidence suggests the depth of IS use leads to increased efficiency and effectiveness. Despite the introduction of the IS infusion concept in the late 1980s, we observe only a small number of empirical studies that examine factors influencing IS infusion at an organizational and an individual level. In addition, some studies show conflicting results and there is no framework to organize previous studies in a meaningful way. We believe that a descriptive review is an appropriate approach at the current state of IS infusion literature. Given the importance of IS infusion, it seems timely to develop a structured framework detailing all the key factors influencing IS infusion found in the extant literature. The framework is drawn from factors derived from theories used in previous IS infusion studies, such as the technology organization environment theory and the theory of planned behavior, to classify different types of influencing factors namely organization, technology, task-job, firm environment and the individual factors. This review paper facilitates further theory development in the IS infusion domain by highlighting under-researched areas, suggesting future directions, and providing a reference source and a classified framework for IS researchers interested in IS infusion.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to assess the current state of research on open source software (OSS) in the library context. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a descriptive literature review. It categorizes library OSS research according to a classification scheme developed for the study, and analyzes the research based on year published, publication outlet, type of software discussed, type of article, type of library, and article topic. Findings – The authors found significant research attention devoted to open source repository applications, online public access catalog (OPAC) software, and integrated library systems (ILS). The majority of article types employed were case studies and discussion pieces. When articles were focused on a specific library, it was dominantly an academic library. Article topics centered around OSS adoption, development, provision of foundational or introductory information, and OSS performance. Originality/value – The authors are not aware of any other study that surveys and synthesizes the literature on OSS in the library context. Not only does this study provide a reference source and classification scheme for those conducting future research in this area to utilize, but it also identifies areas in this field that have received the most research attention, as well as areas that could benefit from future studies. This study will prove helpful to scholars looking for directions to take their research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
