Deterministic Behaviors Toward Information Technology Difffusion Within Small And Medium-Sized Firms In Indonesia
No full textABSTRACT
Artikel ini mengungkap beberapa temuan awal tentang perilaku deterministik dalam proses adopsi dan penyebaran (c4fusi) teknologi informasi di kalangan usaha kecil dan menengah di Indonesia. Keyakinan dasar adalah bahwa usaha kecil dan menengah mernpunyai kemampuan menampilkan keluwesan pengelolaan sumberdaya organisasional, mengeksplorasi keunikan jejaring social, dan mengambil manfaat dari inovasi berbasis teknologi informasi. Pertanyaan penelitian yang diajukan adalah bagaimana pemilik sekaligus manajer usaha kecil dan menengah memandang teknologi informasi dan bagaimana merelca menyelesaikan masalah-masalah bisnisnya dengan menggunakan bantuan teknologi informasi. Studi kasus dilakukan untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian tersebut dan mengungkap aspek-aspek kualitatif mengenai faktor kunci kesuksesan inovasi berbasis teknologi informasi. Temuan dalam studi ini adalah bahwa kompleksitas- inovasi di kalangan usaha Iced! dan menengah muncul karena adanya interaksi berbagai faktor kelembagaan yang harus dipikirkan sebelum fenomena keberhasilan inovasi yang dimaksud dapat diraih dan disebarluaskan.

No full textThe role of change agents in technological diffusion and innovation at inn level has been addressed in published liteatithre mostly within the context of the developed countries. However, the involvement of change agents in the crud adoption of IT-based innovations by small and medium-sized firers in the developing countries is largely unexplored. The main research questions are why and how management decisions to adopt and use IT are influenced (licitly) by the interactions of key people in firms with several identified CilCillstx agents. Case studies are used us the preferred approach to (lustre). the research questions and to understand the qualitative aspects of IT diffusion at the level of the jinn. The study concludes that IT diffitsion in sow!! and medium-siz,ed firms expose mixed institutional influences. The mechanism by which change agents we involved in IT diffusion is also unique and is claimed to be different from thou is generally jimnd in other studies in this area. Some policy implications are proposed by this study.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
THE INFLUENCE OF CHANGE AGENTS ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION IN FIRMS
Get PDFThe role of change agents in technological diffusion and innovation at firm level has been addressed in published literature mostly within the context of the developed countries. However, the involvement of change agents in the diffusion and adoption of IT-based innovations by small and medium-sized firms in the developing countries is largely unexplored. The main research questions are why and how management decisions to adopt and use IT are influenced (if any) by the interactions of key people in firms with several identified change agents. Case studies are used as the preferred approach to answer the research questions and to understand the qualitative aspects of IT diffusion at the level of the firm. The study concludes that IT diffusion in small and medium-sized firms expose mixed institutional influences. The mechanism by which change agents are involved in IT diffusion is also unique and is claimed to be different from that is generally found in other studies in this area.
