New insights into the problem of software piracy: The effects of neutralization, shame, and moral beliefs
2012
Software piracy is a major economic concern for organizations. Previous research indicates that neutralization, a form of rationalization, can help explain software piracy intentions. However, a knowledge gap exists in our understanding of which neutralization techniques most influence software piracy intention. To address this gap, we developed a model that explains the effects of neutralization techniques on software piracy intention. We included different types of deterrents (formal sanctions, shame, and moral belief) in our model because individuals may use neutralization techniques to mitigate feelings of guilt and shame, which, subsequently, reduce the deterrent effect. Our empirical …
Enterprise content management: An integrated perspective on information management
2005
Konferansebidrag fra 38th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2005. HICSS 2005 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is an emerging concept involving numerous software vendors, consultants, and information management practitioners around increasing market potential. However, there exist yet few academic reports on ECM from the viewpoint of organizational system implementations. This article analyses 58, mainly practitioner-oriented, case narratives of ECM projects and implementations to identify a framework of major issues that require managerial attention in organizations. The main areas covered by the framework are: objectives/impacts sought with ECM, enterprise model…
Operations & Maintenance Business Model Transformation—Multiple Case Studies
2014
Capital goods companies’ service offering has been mainly to provide spare parts and maintenance work. In search of growth, these companies have expanded to new areas, such as Operations & Maintenance. Instead of operating and maintaining e.g. production processes itself, a customer can outsource a wide variety of managed services based on agreed service levels. There has been a special focus on global information management know-how, governance, process know-how, physical assets, and spare and wear parts. In order to get a good coverage of case studies, we selected five large global suppliers and two customer companies in telecommunication, energy, mining, and pulp and paper business. By i…
Semantic Portal for Legislative Information
2006
Semantic portals enabled by Semantic Web technologies have been suggested to provide a point of access to an integrated body of information about some domain. In the area of e-Government there are multiple possible domains for semantic portals, one of them being legislative work. In this paper we propose a semantic portal based on a rich metadata repository to support the retrieval of legislative information. The portal provides process oriented semantic browsing capabilities. A prototype of the portal has been implemented for the retrieval of Finnish legislative information.
Cloud Sourcing and Paradigm Shift in IT Governance: Evidence from the Financial Sector
2020
In the digital age, organizations are increasingly shifting their applications, services and infrastructures to the cloud to enhance business agility and reduce IT-related costs. However, in moving applications and data to cloud resources organizations face new risks of privacy violations. To manage this risk, organizations need to be fully aware of threats and vulnerabilities affecting their digital re-sources in cloud. Although some previous studies have focused on the emerging challenges of cloud adoption to governance and control, we know little regarding the paradigm shifts in IT governance processes and practices. To address this gap, we conducted an exploratory case study in two larg…
A Model for Digital Archival of Municipal Documents
2006
While outsourcing IT infrastructure and various IT functions is common, outsourcing the digital archival of municipal documents has not been realized. The reasons for this include the complexity of operations, the lack of models complying with governmental regulation on archival as well as conflicting requirements on the security of sensitive information and public access. This paper presents a case where a municipality aims at outsourcing in a pilot project supported by researchers in project Kunda. Project Kunda applies a model utilizing a combination of contemporary standards, technologies and research results to achieve a replicable way to outsource the digital archival of municipal doc…
An analysis of the Spanish ceramic tile industry research contracts and patents
2018
In this work, we apply a systemic approach to the analysis of a particular geographic territory, the industrial district. We are particularly interested in analysing the interaction between the productive-technological environment and the scientific environment by an examination of research contracts and patents. Our analysis shows that R&D activity in the Spanish ceramic tile District Innovation System was mainly conducted by suppliers. Final producers’ innovation efforts were related to non-technological aspects and differentiation.
Unusual stoichiometry control in the atomic layer deposition of manganese borate films from manganese bis(tris(pyrazolyl)borate) and ozone
2016
The atomic layer deposition (ALD) of films with the approximate compositions Mn3(BO3)2 and CoB2O4 is described using MnTp2 or CoTp2 [Tp ¼ tris(pyrazolyl)borate] with ozone. The solid state decomposition temperatures of MnTp2 and CoTp2 are 370 and 340 C, respectively. Preparative-scale sublimations of MnTp2 and CoTp2 at 210 C/0.05 Torr afforded >99% recoveries with <0.1% nonvolatile residues. Self-limited ALD growth was demonstrated at 325 C for MnTp2 or CoTp2 with ozone as the coreactant. The growth rate for the manganese borate process was 0.19 A˚ /cycle within the ALD window of 300–350 C. The growth rate for the cobalt borate process was 0.39–0.42 A˚ /cycle at 325 C. X-ray diffraction of …
Utvikling, testing og evaluering av en videobasert læringsressurs for selvstyrt bedriftsopplæring : En casestudie fra Posten Norge AS
2017
Masteroppgave Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Opplæring av ansatte er arbeidsgivers plikt og arbeidstakers rett, og er derfor en sentral del ved ethvert arbeidsforhold. Ansattes mulighet for utvikling og innflytelse i egen arbeidssituasjon har også vist seg å være fundamentale drivere for engasjement på arbeidsplassen. I samsvar med den teknologiske utviklingen muliggjør det for design av effektive læringsressurser som kan bidra med å tilgjengeliggjøre læringsmateriell, og på samme tid være med på å engasjere ansatte ved gjennomføring av bedriftsopplæring. I nåværende opplæringssituasjon i Posten Norge AS er det kun én metode for opplæring av postbud…
Who uses intermediaries in international trade? Evidence from firm-level survey data
2011
The present paper uses data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey conducted in Turkey in 2005 to shed light on the firms which use intermediaries in international trade. It lends robust empirical support to recent theories which suggest that indirect exporters are mostly small firms which are not profitable enough to cover the high fixed costs of building their own distribution network abroad. Manufacturers which introduce entirely new products to foreign markets are more likely to use trade intermediaries, as are firms which produce low quality goods. In contrast, neither foreign ownership nor credit constraints are correlated with the choice of export mode. Moreover, firms which rely on t…
