Use of software development techniques: experiences of Brunei Darussalam
No full textEven though a wide range of techniques are presently
available to aid software development process, the actual
adoption of these techniques in the industry has not been
investigated widely. Existing information systems
literature cites a few studies - all of which however report
the experiences of US organisations. As such, little is
known about how these techniques are actually being
used in other parts of the world. Moreover, existing
studies did not address the impact of organisational
parameters on the adoption of techniques. Against this
backdrop, a study was undertaken in Brunei Darussalam
in 1996 to analyse the perceptions of senior Information
Systems (IS) personnel regarding the use of popularly
cited software development techniques within their
organisations. Overall, the results indicate a low use of
techniques among the Bruneian organisations. The study
further confirmed the impact of size and Information
Technology (IT) experience of organisations on the use of
techniques, while type of organisation appeared to have
no influence. The implications of these findings are
discussed
Understanding Adoption and Impact of B2E E-Business Systems: Lessons Learned from the Experience of an Australian University
No full textBusiness-to-employee (B2E) systems are e-business applications that use an intrabusiness network allowing organisations to provide products/services to their employees. These systems have an impact on employee satisfaction and organisational performance. Business literature highlights the benefits that organisations receive from embracing B2E systems. Academic literature has however paid scant attention to the understanding of impact of these systems. Hence, it is not known how and what factors affect the attainment of benefits from B2E systems. This paper analyses the experience of an Australian university in introducing an ESS portal and highlights some lessons. The implications of the findings are discussed.

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
Understanding Digital Transformation of Procurement Through E-Procurement Systems Implementation
No full textVariations 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
