No full textIntroduction
No full textWe are glad to propose in this volume, according to an enduring tradition, a selection of the papers presented at the XIII conference of ItAIS, the Italian Chapter of AIS (Association for Information Systems), held at University of Verona on October 7–8, 2016. The conference theme: “ICT and innovation: a step forward to a global society” suggests a composite, inclusive, and rich view over the multiple dimensions of innovation, along the technical, organizational, and social perspectives, encouraging an open dialogue within our evolving community of research and practice
Benefici attesi tangibili o intangibili? Il caso delle tecnologie per l’autenticazione federata
No full textNell'ambito delle relazioni inter-organizzative, il concetto di fiducia rappresenta un elemento di particolare rilievo determinando a volte la fattibilità stessa delle transazioni tra diversi soggetti. Lo studio presenta i sistemi federati per la gestione delle autenticazioni e autorizzazioni come mezzo che contribuisce alla creazione del clima di fiducia. L'obiettivo è analizzare una serie di casi di utilizzo di sistemi federati in diversi settori, al fine di investigare sulle motivazioni che hanno portato alla loro adozione

Smart City Research as an Interdisciplinary Crossroads: A Challenge for Management and Organization Studies
No full textThis paper seeks to define the boundaries of Smart City research and to draw a map of the interdisciplinary community focusing on this emerging issue. To do so, we analysed the texts included in the websites of two major international Conferences on Smart Cities, and we used the Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach to examine a representative sample of 114 publications on Smart Cities. We found that Smart City research was hosted in Architecture and Social Sciences journals in the first place, but since 2007–2008 the interest in this issue boomed among Engineering and Computer Science scholars. Whilst there is a growing number of publications describing many ICT-enabled solutions for enhancing the competitiveness, sustainability and livability of cities, only few studies have addressed the organizational issues implied in such innovations so far. On the other side, our graph describing the interdisciplinary links within the 118 analysed publications shows that management studies occupy a strategic position within the interdisciplinary network of Smart City research. Then, Management and Information Systems scholars are given the opportunity to fill an important gap in an emerging stream of studies
Towards the redesign of e-business maturity models for SMEs
No full textThis paper shows the results of the conceptual part of a research aimed at redesigning e-business stage models for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). The literature review shows that these models are based mostly on a techno-centric perspective and are rather mechanistic in their approach to the development of e-business in smaller firms. Based on design science which offers a methodology capable of understanding business needs deriving from the interplay of people, organization and technology a non-linear stage model for the development of e-business in SMEs is proposed. Different levels of interaction in the exchange of information between a firm and its suppliers and customers characterize e-business: the model includes four levels and it outlines their main organizational implications. The model is not meant to be prescriptive, that is it is not intended to serve as an evaluation ladder for public administrations deciding to grant financial support to SMEs investing in e-business. Rather, it has an interpretive, organizational character: (i) entrepreneurs can be supported in their understanding and evaluation of the organizational needs connected with the exploitation of a given opportunity by means of different levels of digital interaction and (ii) policy makers can be guided in promoting the appropriate support (e.g.: training and advisory services) to different kinds of SMEs
