▼ Firms depend on
information technology to provide high quality internal
information, but prior research suggests that IT is underutilized (Venkatesh and Bala 2008). Therefore, using a sample of firms with equivalent levels of technology in their
information systems, I investigate whether firms that employ CEOs with IT expertise make forecasts that are more accurate. I argue that CEOs with IT expertise are more likely to encourage the utilization of IT in making earnings forecasts, thus increasing the accuracy of the forecasts. This argument is supported by prior research that suggests that people are more likely to utilize technology if they have more experience with IT (Venkatesh et al. 2012). This research suggests that executives with IT experience are more likely to utilize IT because they perceive it as easy to use. Overall, I find that CEOs with IT expertise make forecasts that are more accurate. In additional tests, I also find that CEOs with IT expertise do not manage earnings to maintain accuracy. Finally, I find that analysts are more likely to rely on
information provided by CEOs with IT expertise. Additionally, analysts benefit from the high quality
information provided by CEOs with IT expertise because analysts that revise their forecasts following a forecast issued by a CEO with IT expertise make forecasts that are more accurate.

▼ Today, many Malaysian SMEs are facing problems that hinder the full implementation of computerised accounting information systems (CAIS). These problems are related to human resources incapable of using the systems and organisation’s inability to adopt the technology and align it with the companies’ strategic policy.
The purpose of this study is to empirically test the impact of CAIS on information quality, focusing on the transparency aspects of corporate governance and strategic decision making (SDM). Accounting information systems (AIS) with a ‘good fit’ and ‘highly praised’ corporate governance (CG) practices have been shown to lead to good firm performance. While the literature has examined the effects of AIS fit on firm performance, few studies have looked at the link between CAIS, information quality and firm performance. Further, while the impact of strategic decision making and CG on firm performance has been widely studied, the role of AIS in this relationship is less clear. Since AIS forms the backbone of a firm’s business information infrastructure, both strategic decision-making process and corporate governance, particularly the transparency dimension, rely on information derived from the system.
Using a resource-based view (RBV) framework, hypothesised relationships among variables of interest were examined based on data collected from 336 small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Results from partial least square (PLS) analysis suggest that effects of AIS on firm performance were partially mediated by information quality, while a full moderation effect was found for other variables on firm performance.
The results thus demonstrate the importance of information quality, SDM and AIS to a greater height, prompting SMEs to revisit their policies on AIS, staff training and largely transparency to better improve firm performance. Outcomes of this study contribute to the body of knowledge on AIS, information quality and SMEs, while helping to trigger interest among SMEs on the importance of having reliable accounting software to produce quality reports.

▼ Accounting is an old discipline inherent to any business. Accounting is divided into Financial Accounting (FA) and Management Accounting (MA). Financial Accounting focuses on the pure processing of the economic data. Management Accounting focuses on the decision-making aspects of the accounting. Accounting industry has been tremendously transformed in the past two decades due to the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. These systems integrate and unify an organisation’s business functions and processes into one complex computer system. Previous research suggests that the ERP systems’ main functionality primarily addresses the issues of Financial Accounting and much less the issues of Management Accounting. The purpose of this study is to explore the underlying factors behind the application of the Management Accounting Techniques through the ERP systems and to suggest a further development in the field. Five large Swedish companies were examined through the comparative case studies with semi-structured interviews. This study discovered that MATs were mostly implemented through spreadsheets, BI systems and custom-built software, i.e. outside of the ERP systems. The main reasons were inflexibility and standard design of the ERP systems, that did not fully suit the companies. Additionally, the customization of the ERP systems would be too costly when other tools, such as BI systems or spreadsheets, provided better functionality to a better price. The conclusion of this study is that it is impossible to build a universal ERP system that would suit all kind of companies, however, ERP systems can serve as a common base and a transaction engine for the MA. ERP systems can provide a data structure for the analysis parameters crucial to MA, such as profit centre, cost centre, unit, and other dimensionality aspects. Spreadsheets and BI systems win the MA battle by providing the flexibility, user-friendliness and the acceptable price, required by the users. Therefore, ERP systems must provide good integration possibilities with other software. One can further speculate if ERP system providers choose not to deliver flexible and visually appealing products, since they benefit from the income that the customer education and the customization of an ERP system implies.

Computerised Accounting Information Systems Adoption among SMEs in Ghana

▼ Although SMEs are touted as the engines of economic growth, recent empirical findings suggest that non-application of appropriate Information Technology (I.T), and Improper Accounting Practices often lead to their non-performance. Yet to be successful in the Information Era requires businesses to apply I.T in managing key business functions like accounting. This therefore necessitates research at the intersection of I.T and accounting. The study sought to investigate constructs within the Technology-Organization-Environment Framework (TOE) and the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) that influence SMEs adoption of Computerised Accounting Information Systems (CAIS). Cross-Sectional Survey using Questionnaires was employed in gathering data from 194 SME owners in the Greater-Accra, Ashanti and Western Regions of Ghana. SMEs were drawn from databases of the National Board for Small Scale Industries, and the Association of Ghana Industries. Using the PLS-SEM technique of analysis, findings of the study suggest that SME owner innovativeness has significant direct, and indirect influence on CAIS adoption. Other factors which were found to have a significant influence on CAIS adoption include Government support, Relative advantage, and Cost of technology adoption. Neither competitive pressure, technology Complexity nor Security Concern were significant. It is recommended that policy directives aimed at increasing technology adoption be focused on ICT education and training programmes. Also, SMEs should consider adopting CAIS on the basis of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) since it is relatively cheaper than locally hosted CAIS systems. The originality of the study lies both in the context of the study and in the fact that existing studies did not consider the mediating role of organizational readiness in technology adoption.

▼ Enterprise
systems implementations are often high cost and high risk with many companies failing to achieve their targeted business objectives. At the individual level, negative user reactions to enterprise
systems lead to resistance to IT use, counter-productive adaptations, and reduced job satisfaction. Factors that contribute to these individual level effects include a lack of understanding of reengineered business processes and a lack of understanding of economic interdependencies. In this research, a computer-based business simulation educational intervention is investigated to determine its effectiveness in facilitating enterprise
systems knowledge acquisition and promoting job satisfaction. Simulation-based education utilizes an experiential learning model, immersing participants in a realistic, dynamic business environment. This dissertation consists of three related essays. Two essays compare simulation-based education against traditional education to determine their relative effectiveness at imparting enterprise business process knowledge (essay 1), business motivational knowledge of economic interdependencies (essay 2), and at influencing job satisfaction. In essays 1 and 2, user knowledge structures are assessed using concept relatedness measures and analyzed using established Pathfinder network structure techniques. Results support the importance of accurate business process knowledge and understanding of enterprise economic interdependencies as antecedents to improved job satisfaction but the two types of knowledge appear to operate differently. Business process knowledge has a relatively stronger effect on perceptions of opportunities and control over the technology; whereas business motivational knowledge resulted in stronger reductions to perceptions of threat relative to a positive influence on opportunity. These influences all led to greater enterprise
systems satisfaction among users. Essay 3 investigates salient factors of simulation-based education as an effective transitional intervention for enterprise change
management. Based on the organizational behavior concept of realistic job previews, a new concept of realistic technology previews is introduced to IT change
management. Simulation education is evaluated for its ability to provide a safe and supportive `transitional space' facilitating IT adaptation by improving IT self-efficacy and improving cognitive appraisals which influence ES job satisfaction. Overall, results of these essays support the importance of user knowledge of business processes and economic relations to improve job satisfaction and adaption to enterprise
systems. Simulation-based education is found to be superior to traditional education in imparting business process knowledge. Further, use of simulation-based enterprise
systems education is found to positively influence IT self-efficacy and to provide a realistic technology preview, both of which improve cognitive appraisals resulting in higher enterprise
systems job satisfaction.

▼ While contemporary environmental problems arise partly from increased industrial activities resulting in waste creation, the continued extraction and depletion of earth’s natural resources by organisations to meet consumers’ demand have led to unsustainable business practices (Jennings & Zandbergen 1995). Moreover, reversing the negative environmental impact caused by unsustainable business practices is the responsibility of the organisations whose activities cause harm to the environment (Ahuja & Khamba 2008). More importantly, managers require adequate and accurate financial and non-financial
information on their unsustainable business practices to successfully manage both internal and external environmental effects of their actions (Schaltegger & Burritt 2000). But the lack of contemporary
management accounting tools to capture waste
information in the brewery process reduces the chance to improve waste-reduction decisions while opportunities for cost savings are also lost. Admittedly, Gale (2006:1231) argues that conventional
management accounting Systems (MASs) do not have the ability to adequately monitor the increasing material costs and overheads in production processes with sufficient transparency. Nevertheless, this inability to provide adequate process waste
information may likely limit organisations’ effort to implement and achieve desired waste-reduction strategies. As a result, it is imperative to integrate both physical and monetary waste
information for sound decision-making.
The main objective of this study is to adopt and adjust the existing MFCA framework to support and improve on managers’ process waste-reduction decisions in the South African brewery industry. In order to achieve this main objective, the study:
• examines the extent to which conventional MASs provides process waste
information to support waste-reduction decisions in a micro-brewery (Hope Brewery) and a large brewery (SAB Ltd);
• assesses the impact of insufficient process waste
information as provided by the conventional MASs on brewery waste-reduction decisions in a micro-brewery (Hope Brewery) and a large brewery (SAB Ltd); and
• adjusts the existing MFCA framework to include waste categories subsumed or neglected in the provision of waste
information to improve brewery waste-reduction decisions.
vi
The study adopted an exploratory multiple case study approach by means of in-depth interviews and a pilot study in two breweries- a micro-brewery and a large brewery to achieve the study objectives.
Findings revealed that, while the use of technology is essential to reduce brewery process waste, there is lack of appropriate waste-capturing
management accounting tool in both organisations. Besides it is essential for organisations to adopt appropriate
management accounting tool to capture waste-related
information for improved waste-reduction decisions and selection of appropriate waste
management strategy. The study therefore suggests the adoption of an adjusted MFCA framework for a more robust approach to improve…

▼ No exercício de nossas atividades contábeis, deparamos-nos com duas ramificações da contabilidade, as contabilidades societária e gerencial, que se diferenciam em vários aspectos levantados por diversos autores do ramo. Ambas as ramificações contábeis mencionadas, cada qual com seu objetivo, cliente, foco e necessidades a serem atendidas, possuem histórico de similaridades e diferenciações. Algumas dessas diferenciações tornam-se fatores críticos que podem vir a impedir que tais ramificações conversem e se integrem, levando muitas companhias a possuir dois registros e acompanhamentos distintos para a elaboração e apresentação de números, que acabam sendo também diferentes e passam a apresentar falta de confiabilidade e fidelidade dos números e das bases de elaboração e controle. Esta pesquisa visa apresentar os conceitos dessas duas ramificações contábeis, societária (também chamada por contabilidade financeira) e gerencial, apresentando os principais aspectos que regem uma e outra. Também visa elencar as diferenças existentes entre elas, as possíveis aproximações e os fatores críticos na integração, inclusive no quesito sistema de informações, para que se torne possível a minimização dos riscos trazidos por tais fatores críticos por meio de uma proposta de modelo integrador. Tal modelo inclui a elaboração de duas peças contábeis, um Balanço Patrimonial e uma Demonstração do Resultado do Exercício, denominadas Gerais, que visam atender ao público tanto da contabilidade societária, quanto da contabilidade gerencial (usuários externos e internos), sem perder a integridade e qualidade da informação
In the exercise of our accounting activities we find two branches of accounting - corporate and management accounting,, which differ in many aspects studied by several authors of the field. Both accounting branches mentioned, each one with its purpose - customer focus and needs to be met, have a history of similarities and differences. Some of these differences become critical factors that may prevent them to be integrated. This takes many companies to have two separated records and accompaniments for the preparation and presentation of numbers, which eventually also present a distinct lack of reliability and fidelity of the numbers and the bases of preparation and control. This research aims to present the concepts of these two accounting branches - corporate (also called a financial accounting) and management, presenting the main aspects that rule both. It also aims to list the differences between them, pointing out possible approaches, highlighting the critical factors in the integration, including the information system to make it possible to minimize the risks posed by such critical factors through a proposed integrative model. This model includes the preparation of a Balance Sheet and Income Statement for the year, called "General", which aim to serve the public, both corporate and management accounting (external and internal users), without losing the integrity and quality of information

▼ For several years, the number of South Africans starting new business enterprises, has declined. According to the findings of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, in 2003, South Africa ranked 22nd out of 31 countries for new entrepreneurial activities. One of the greatest challenges for South Africa, is to find a solution for its huge unemployment problem, which is responsible for many of South Africa's other problems, like poverty, crime and brutality, which discourage global investment in South Africa. The development of small-, medium-, and microenterprises
(SMMEs) is seen as an important ingredient of economic development. The population for this study is therefore comprised of SMMEs in South Africa. Any enterprise is dependent on the environment it operates in. The environment consists of the macro-environment, which includes the demographic, technological, economical, social, institutional and international environment, the market environment, which includes consumers, suppliers and competitors, as well as the micro-environment, which includes the organisation, its mission, goals and objectives, management functions, business functions and business resources. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of applying cost- and management accounting methods and techniques for the development and profitable running of SMMEs. These include choosing an appropriate costing system, implementing a management information system, effectively executing the management functions of planning, organising, coordination and control, through the application of cost- and management accounting methods and techniques, including forecasting, budgeting, accurate and appropriate costing methods, performance management techniques like total quality management, benchmarking etcetera. Data on the current use of cost-and management accounting by SMMEs in South Africa, and the performance of these concerns, were collected by means of a structured questionnaire from a sample of 37 SMMEs. It was found, that although several cost- and management accounting methods and techniques are used by some SMMEs, many are not used effectively, while many SMMEs are not aware of the many advantages that the application of these methods and techniques hold. It is recommended that entrepreneurs make an effort to gain the knowledge needed for them to apply the cost- and management accounting methods and techniques that will improve the performance of their businesses, ensuring the attainment of their goals and objectives, ensuring their survival and prosperity, and leading to job creation, economic growth, and the prosperity of the people of South Africa. To assist with this, the researcher has developed a model and a manual that can be used by entrepreneurs to assist them in starting a new enterprise, as well as running a successful enterprise.

▼ This dissertation examined antecedents of the use of contemporary management control systems (MCS) by testing the alignment of strategic and contextual variables with variables of contemporary systems of control in the organization. The study further explored the performance consequences of the implementation of these control systems, and the manner in which strategy can influence the organization’s control culture and management accounting practices. The impact of contextual factors, notably size and structural arrangements, such as decentralization and diversification, on management's choice of control systems were also examined. Hence, the study addressed the need for a better understanding of the association between variables across the four organizational areas of context, strategy, control and performance and attempted to bridge existing gaps in the body of knowledge in relation to the nature of the relationship between variables in these areas.
Contributions of this study to existing knowledge include the integration of different relationships, across the study variables, that were separately tested in previous research, the validation of a multi-dimensional model, suggested by Langfield-Smith (1997), to measure organizational strategic orientation, the use of several theories from different disciplines to predict the different relationships included in the study model and the investigation of relationships that have been little documented or not specifically explored.
Twenty seven research hypotheses were developed and tested: the first six hypotheses concerned predicted causal relationships between the organizational strategic orientation (i.e., entrepreneurial vs. conservative) and management control systems, notably, participative budgeting, activity based costing (ABC), total quality management (TQM), just in time (JIT), innovation, and the balanced scorecard (BSC). A further fifteen hypotheses explored the effect of the organizational contextual variables of size, decentralization, and diversification on the use of these control systems. Finally, the remaining six hypotheses tested the relationship between organizational performance and the adoption of the specified MCS in the organization.
The hypotheses were tested on a randomly selected sample of Australian manufacturing organizations through a questionnaire survey addressed to the senior management of each organization. A correlation matrix for the study constructs followed by a structural equation modeling approach was conducted to test the relationships between the variables of the study. The results of the study generated a number of highly significant correlations in support of the hypotheses. Participative budgeting and innovation proved to be more likely associated with entrepreneurial strategies, rather than conservative strategies; ABC was found to be positively associated with the size of the organization, TQM was found to be associated with decentralized structural arrangements, while BSC was positively associated with firm diversification.…

▼ D.Comm.
This research was initially motivated for the concern with the fact that there are so many Executive Information Systems (EISs) and other information systems available in listed Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) companies as the content varies dramatically from company to company or sometimes from division to division in the same Group. This could lead to confusion for the user and interferes with decisionmaking. To maximise use, but minimise confusion it is therefore important to make sure that all information is in a standard format between the different divisions of the company within the industry. In order to do so, it was considered necessary to conduct an exploratory study to investigate the existence of an EIS in companies. Top management, executives, directors, senior managers and potential other users of EISs are firstly not always informed of the existence of an EIS, and/or secondly, unaware of the fact that they can use an EIS as a tool to report and analyse their companies on a day-to-day basis.Over the past few years, an increasing number of companies have implemented an EIS. EISs are used to effectively analyse, evaluate and compare companies’ financial statements and performances. Although users, at all levels of the business, have used an EIS, its success and shortcomings have yet to be documented conclusively at the level of the companies in a South African (SA) context. This research investigates whether listed JSE companies need a ‘standard’ ‘BIS to use as a tool to analyse and measure their performances.The input of all users of an EIS Synopsis iii with regard to unmet needs will have a significance impact on the content of an EIS; this in turn could result in ensuring them a key role in shaping the future of companies.

▼ As researchers today seek to understand how virtual worlds may be effectively leveraged for collaborative purposes, exploring the role of leadership in virtual world teams may help shed light on how to manage synchronous and highly interdependent work activities for better team outcomes. Based upon Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory, this dissertation seeks to understand how leadership affects team member performance and proposes that 1) the relationship between a leader and a team member influences the degree to which a team member is allocated and develops resources and 2) to the extent which a team member receives or develops resources, their performance will be enhanced. Findings from a field survey of 61 members in a large virtual world team (VWT) within the MMORPG Everquest suggest that leader-member relationships matter, having a direct impact on members' allocation and development of resources. However, a mediation test strongly suggests that it is the quantity and the type of resource that impacts performance and not the direct influence of the leader-member relationship. From a theoretical standpoint, opening the "black box" of LMX theory has revealed more precise causal mechanisms by which leader-member relationships impact performance. The influential resources identified include two dimensions of empowerment, access to better work assignments, benevolence-based trust, obligation, and identification. From a practical standpoint, this research provides guidance into what leaders may do to effectively management VWTs. For example, better member performance could be achieved through coaching and avoiding micro-management, providing members with better team assignments, and binding VWT members to each other such that collective interest replaces self-interest.

▼ Information technology engages users in a variety of ways. No longer confined to information systems in organizational contexts, technology has become much more pervasive and personalized. As individuals are increasingly exposed to the types of triggers that prompt automatic technology engagement, technology use has moved beyond the bounds of intentionality. This leads to the development of technology-use behaviors that may become automatic or difficult to control. Individuals can begin to develop spontaneous-use behaviors and feel compelled to interact with the systems they use. This new type of system use is called compulsive technology use. Compulsive technology use is defined as spontaneous interaction with an information system or technology that is unintentional, uncontrollable, effortless, and efficient. Compulsive technology use is effortless and efficient in that it does not interfere with other cognitive processes. Compulsive technology use is unintentional in the sense that no act of will is required to initiate it. Compulsive technology use is uncontrollable in that a person has difficulty controlling the process once it has been initiated. But little is known about what drives compulsive technology use. This dissertation explores the phenomenon of compulsive technology use in the context of mobile applications. The roles of technology habit and perceptions of sunk costs in the development of compulsive technology use will be addressed. In addition, identifying the technological drivers of technology habit will contribute to the understanding of how the characteristics and features of technology influence compulsive technology use.

▼ Organizational interest in user-generated content (UGC) websites is growing, as organizations face highly competitive markets, uncertain economic environments, and a growing user base accustomed to active engagement rather than passive acceptance of products and services. Organizations are now exploring ways to provide a platform (website) through which users generate and contribute content, resulting in a co-created experience between users and organizations. However, organizations interested in leveraging UGC websites are facing a new challenge – getting users to actively engage through content contribution, retrieval, and exploration. Thus, the research questions guiding this dissertation are: what factors influence an individual's user experience in UGC websites and to what extent does a positive user experience impact individual engagement behavior? This manuscript develops a theory of co-created value to examine how social interactions, operationalized as perceived dialogue, transparency, social accessibility, and risk, and technical features, operationalized as the perceived granularity, extensibility, integration, and evolvability, of a UGC website influence an individual's user experience and subsequent engagement behaviors. Results suggest initial support for a socio-technical perspective of user engagement. The social interactions, critical mass and transparency, had a direct impact on a user's engagement within a UGC website, while critical mass also had a direct impact on a user's experience. The technical features, granularity and evolvability, had direct impacts on a user's experience within a UGC website. Surprisingly, extensibility had a negative impact on a user's experience. Lastly, a positive user experience positively influenced a user's engagement behavior. Based on the results of this study, implications for research and practice are discussed and future directions for researchers are outlined.

▼ Consider companies who rely on revenue generating equipment that fails from time to time. Assume that a company owns one unit of equipment, whose maintenance and repair services are outsourced to a qualified service provider. We assume that the company (the principal) outsources the maintenance and repair services using performance based contracts. Such contractual relationships fall into economics' principal-agent framework. The owners of the revenue generating units are referred to as principals, and the service provider as the agent. We address the following questions: What are the optimal contracting strategies for a principal and an agent? Can the agent benefit from pooling the service demands from multiple principals? This dissertation contains two main bodies of work contained in chapters 2-7 and chapters 8-13 respectively. In the first part of this dissertation (chapters 2-7) we examine the contractual options between a single principal and a single agent. The contractual options of a principal and an agent are modeled as a Markov process with an undetermined time horizon. For a risk neutral principal we identify the conditions under which a principal contracts with a risk-neutral, risk-averse, or risk-seeking agent and derive the principal's optimal offer and the agent's service capacity response. In essence, we provide an extensive formulating analysis of principal-agent contracts given any exogenous parameter values. That is, we derive mathematical formulas for the optimal contract offers and the agent's optimal service capacity. It turns out that a small number of formulas cover a large spectrum of principal-agent conditions. In the second part of this dissertation (chapters 8-13), in a counter distinction to the vast literature in economics on principal-agent contractual interplay and its predominant concern with the principal, here we focus on the agent. In the case of performance based service contracts it is known that the principal extracts all the economic surplus and the agent breaks even. But this is not the case for an agent of good standing contracting with multiple principals. We show that an agent who contracts a collection of principals with interdependent failure characteristics does better than break-even - such an agent realizes a profit rate that is convexly increasing in the number of principals. The corresponding cooperative game assessing each principal's contribution to the agent's profit is convex and its easily computable Louderback's value seems always to be in its core. In chapter 14 we present the outline of a future study that compares several different options of contract structure faced by the principal and the agent, because the optimal contracting strategies for the principal and the agent may not necessarily be the same under different contract structures. We discuss briefly the agent's and the principal's behavior under different forms of performance based contract, which serves as a starting point for future extensions of this dissertation. To summarize, this dissertation…

▼ We are living in a world of service economy. Global markets have radically transformed from product-based industrial structures to service-based post-industrial ones over the past fifty years. IT has catalyzed a significant portion of this transformation. Advances in IT have not only alleviated the accessibility of existing service
systems, but also enabled Servitization of products and commodities that were delivered through traditional mediums. Ironically, IT itself has been a commodity that has met its own share of Servitization. Hardware computing resources have been virtualized, whereas software and media content have been delivered through distributed networks. Causing a paradigm shift on how IT is delivered and used, Servitization of IT is expected to impose technical, economical and managerial challenges in various business domains of organizations. In this dissertation, I develop novel methods and policies to overcome such challenges. By conducting four closely related studies, I address common IT Servitization problems encountered in the service-oriented architecture and customer relationship
management domains. Specifically, I make the following contributions: (1) in study one, I work on the efficient creation of software services out of legacy software by annotating source code components of an IT system with business semantics. The approach facilitates source code reuse in developing new web services. (2) In study two, I develop a financial valuation model for SOA investments. The model quantifies evident and elusive costs and benefits of SOA and supports managerial decision making regarding the investment. (3) In study three, I investigate the deployment of live-chat online service channels by evaluating the impact of priority-based admission control policies. I show that under imperfect profiling of customer types, reserve-type admission control policies may have negative consequences for the entire system. (4) In study four, I investigate the value of adding flexibility in live-chat contact centers. Contrary to the service
management literature, I find out that cross-training of agents in large contact centers suffers from switching costs as well as capacity shifting inefficiencies. Methods, models and policies proposed in this dissertation are expected to contribute towards understanding the short-term applicability and long-term impact of service-orientation and IT Servitization in business organizations.

▼ This research analyzes the idea of managing
information security risk on projects, as well as the effectiveness and costs associated with this kind of
management. Organizations today face a myriad of security risks given their increased use of
information technology. New solutions to improve
information security within organizations large and small need to be researched and analyzed. Review of relevant literature has determined that although organizations are managing security from the top down, there is a lack of security
management at the project level and that most project managers and their teams rely on the organizational security measures to keep
information secure. The concept of managing security risks at the project level is not well defined and there exists no concrete and widely accepted framework for it. This research examines if managing security at the project level within a multi-tiered defensive strategy can be effective and at what cost. It also seeks to determine if budgeting for security in projects will lead to more secure project assets and products. This qualitative study uses three sources of data to deduce conclusions and recommendations. One, literary sources, two,
subject interviews of security and project
management professionals, and three, a computerized model built to simulate a defense in depth strategy. The primary finding of this research is that the concept of managing
information security in projects is valid, and that doing so will lead to more secure project assets and products. This type of
management will increase the security posture of the project itself and the organization as a whole. Recommendations are made by the researcher as to what steps a project manager and the organization above it must take to leverage the
management of
information security risks on projects.

▼ Proteomics is the study of the structure and behavior of proteins. In order to perform this kind of an analysis, proteins are broken down into their constituent peptides, and values of different parameters are recorded. The amount of this kind of data collected is very large, and therefore analysis of this data becomes time-consuming. To overcome this issue, there have been several software developed for processing protein data. With a large number of software solutions available in the market, the decision about which one to use is hard for the end-user. The expectations from such a software for each user vary. Apart from the end-users, there are software developers working on improving the quality of the existing software by implementing suitable optimization techniques. This study therefore proposes a comparison framework for software solutions for proteomics that will benefit the readers by providing all the
information required in order to make a decision about the software that is suitable for their needs.

▼ The research was developed based on the theoretical reference of two areas of related knowledge, business administration, with Cunha (2005), and
accounting sciences, with Weber (2011). This is a qualitative research, done through a case study, with interviews containing semistructured questions applied through a sense among the managers of the organization, triangulated with direct observation and analysis of documents. The applied methodology, in line with the theme, is innovative and enabled the results obtained to be translated into a matrix of cross references, in which it is possible to measure at what level the control plays its role in the
management of the innovative company. It was found in the organizational environment studied a high degree of complexity of the interactions between controller and managers what requires of the professionals who work in the controller, as well as versatility, wide knowledge, both of controller and other areas, and agility in the service. It was agreed among the interviewees that the
information prepared, disclosed and sold by the controller is considered useful and reliable. The
management information system (GIS) is widely used in the organization. The operation as co-manager is perceptible to a lesser degree, being effective in the
management of alliances and structure, which is linked to investments focused on technological innovation. Controlling as a business partner is perceptible to a lesser extent. The finding in the survey is the freedom granted to the controller to fully exercise all levels, from data maker to business partner. In all categories, there is no restriction of action by any manager. Thus, the innovative company is a fertile ground, both for applying consolidated practices and for implanting new artifacts and
management practices that aid in the innovative process.

▼ With the mounting pressures on institutions of higher education to do more with limited resources, the opportunity to collaborate with other colleges has emerged as a viable tool to create efficiencies and obtain valuable knowledge otherwise unattainable by an institution, even if that collaboration takes place with a competing institution. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are critical to managing student information and college operations, but can be challenging for colleges to implement. Consortia present a unique solution to colleges to address gaps in their expertise and skills needed to achieve a successful ERP implementation. This study explores the factors that are critical to successful ERP implementations in a community college setting and aims to develop a model that will assist colleges in targeting their efforts so as to make the best use of their resources. This paper shares a set of best practices to assist community colleges in accomplishing successful ERP implementations. In addition, this paper introduces a potential solution to community colleges of using a consortium relationship with like colleges to support the ERP implementation process and best practices with regard to these consortia to successfully support these efforts. Additionally, this best practices are discussed in this paper and are a compilation from insights gained through a review of the academic literature on ERP success factors and surveys of four community colleges that had completed ERP implementations. We hope that these insights will prove beneficial to colleges contemplating the implementation of a new ERP system. We believe that this paper can also assist colleges in determining if a consortium approach to their ERP implementation would be advantageous, generating greater bargaining power for the participating colleges, providing for the sharing of information between colleges, and helping to accommodate for any deficiency in expertise.

▼ The evolution of technology brings with it the evolution of business processes. Without a doubt, technology changes how work is performed. At first glance, workplace technology appears to be a great boon to society. However, research presents opposing views on how workplace technologies impact the individual. One perspective argues that organizations utilize technology to redesign work processes, such that the worker requires less skill, autonomy, and compensation. The opposing perspective argues that organizations utilize technology to empower employees to improve efficiency and profits. This dissertation consists of three interrelated studies examining workplace technology’s impact on decision makers. The first study examines the capability of an enterprise system to increase the application of scientific
management techniques to middle
management and, consequently, to degrade middle management’s work by limiting their autonomy. The second study investigates the capability of an enterprise system to facilitate the empowerment of managers via mutual monitoring and social identification. The third study builds upon the first study by examining how limiting autonomy through technology impacts the intrinsic motivation of decision makers and, as a result, affects the decision making process. Study one applies labor process theory to explain how enterprise
systems can degrade the work of middle
management via scientific
management techniques. The purpose of this study is to test if the expectations of labor process theory can be applied to enterprise
systems. In order to test this assertion, a field survey utilizing 189 middle managers is employed and the data is analyzed using component based structural equation modeling. The results indicate that iii enterprise system integration increases two scientific
management techniques, formalization and performance measurement, but do not reveal a significant relationship between enterprise system integration and routinization. Interestingly, the results also indicate that routinization is the only scientific
management technique, of the three studied, that directly limits the autonomy of the middle managers. Although performance measurement does not reduce autonomy directly, performance measurement interacts with routinization to reduce autonomy. This study contributes to the enterprise system literature by demonstrating enterprise systems’ ability to increase the degree of scientific
management applied to middle
management. It also contributes to labor process theory by revealing that routinization may be the scientific
management technique that determines whether other control techniques are utilized in a manner consistent with labor process theory. The ability of an enterprise system to facilitate the application of Mary Parker Follett’s managerial control concepts are investigated in the second study. Specifically, Follett theorizes that
information sharing facilitates the internalization of group goals and empowers individuals to have more influence and be more effective.…

▼ The New Zealand Government has developed and revised different climate change policies (GCCPs) over the last nine years in order to meet its Kyoto obligations and address the challenges of climate change. The key GCCPs are the carbon tax proposed in 2002 but cancelled in 2005; the Projects to Reduce Emissions (PRE) scheme during 2003-2004; and an emissions trading scheme (ETS) announced in 2007, legislated in 2008 and then modified in 2009. These GCCP changes are likely to impose significant costs and additional volatilities and pressures on electricity generators because their production activities are emissions-intensive. Consequently generators have been the direct targets of various GCCPs.
This study addresses the following research question: “What are the
management control system (MCS) implications arising from strategy choices New Zealand electricity generators make in managing economic volatility and societal pressures resulting from a prolonged period of GCCP change?”. In answering this question, the study adopts a multiple-theory research framework that builds on insights from prior literature and the theoretical perspectives of transactional cost economics, institutional theory and resource-based theory. This study uses a multiple-case study that analyses interviews and 10-years of documentary data related to five major generators within the New Zealand electricity industry over five periods from 2000 to 2009.
The results suggest that GCCP changes impose external economic volatilities and societal pressures on the generators and affect their costs, market competitiveness, and social legitimacy. The diversity of internal characteristics and capabilities of the generators are found to moderate their relative degree of exposure to these external volatilities and pressures. Ten GCCP-related environmental strategies were formulated and implemented by the generators, with different levels of proactiveness (i.e. scope and timing), varying top
management emphasis, as well as distinct underlying objectives. These strategy choices had significant implications for organisational MCS. In response, a wide range of controls and control
systems were adopted. These can be classified into eight MCS component types and three MCS component groups, each of which supported one or more environmental strategies. Managers varied the degree of use of these MCS component types and groups to match the level of strategy proactiveness and top
management emphasis pursued within each period. Additionally, the organisational MCS was underlined by three main objectives (cost control, competitiveness, and legitimacy) which in turn were driven by each generator’s primary strategy objectives and GCCP-related external exposure.
This study addresses a number of gaps in the academic literature and demonstrates the merits of a multiple-theoretical framework in examining GCCP-related strategy and MCS changes. The results also have significant implications for managers and practitioners when planning organisational adaptation to a…

▼ Business Administration/Accounting
D.B.A.
I argue that lean software development firms become more productive if they adopt and align lean managerial accounting systems with lean software development processes. I conduct two experiments on retraining and coaching of software development teams that have used lean and agile software development practices, demonstrating that these practices significantly improve productivity compared to control groups that did not receive this retraining and coaching. In a third experiment, I expand on this theme by introducing lean accounting productivity metrics to a treatment group of software developers. Team leaders actively use these metrics as quantitative “retrospectives” in team meetings to review past performance and identify areas for process improvement. Four months after these metrics are introduced, I measure their impact on the treatment group productivity and also survey the group to determine how these metrics affect employee attitudes and productivity compared to a control group that was not trained in use of these metrics for team meetings. The results indicate that introduction of lean accounting metrics does not impact employee attitudes and understanding of processes and metrics, nor does it improve productivity in the near term. Discussions with management indicate that retraining and coaching immediately improve productivity since they are directed at remedying specific operational and process issues. Using lean accounting metrics to impact team productivity and employee attitudes is more foundational and likely requires a longer period of exposure and learning. The experimental site is a large publicly traded software firm that uses lean and agile software development practices.

▼ The focus of environmental management is mainly from the financial accounting perspective, which is measuring and reporting (Parker, 2000). However, studies on carbon accounting systems from the management accounting perspective deserve more attention. The purpose of this research is to explore and understand the relationship between carbon accounting systems and organisational learning. This research is one of few attempts to study this relationship in New Zealand.
The qualitative research method (a single case study) is applied to this study, with interviews and observations used as the primary data collection methods. The site for this research is an organisation that has adopted the carboNZero programme in recent years.
It was found that the implementation of a carbon accounting system can trigger generative learning in an organisation. However, it does not necessarily mean that all organisations which implement carbon accounting systems are learning organisations. In order to truly become a learning organisation any inherent problems of the organisation have to be considered and solved to remove resistance to changes in the organisation. The outcome of this research will provide a basis and direction for future research on similar topics. Practitioners will find the findings of this research useful in the implementation process of carbon accounting systems and in facilitating generative organisational learning.

▼ The importance of blood in the existence of mankind cannot be over emphasized. It supplies all nutrients and oxygen in the body; it has been medically proven that no human being can survive without blood. It is for this reason that blood banks were introduced; to help in the collecting, separating, and storing blood. A blood bank is a place for stocking blood donations from donors. To provide web based communication there are numbers of online web based blood bank management systems that exists for communicating between department of blood centers and hospitals, to satisfy blood necessity, to buy, sale and stock the blood, to give information about this blood.Manual systems as compared to Computer Based Information Systems are time consuming, laborious, and costly .Automation systems and information technology can greatly help medical facilities to improve their working efficiency and optimize the whole workflow. The main objective of this project was to develop a blood management information system to assist in the management of blood donor records and ease/or control the distribution of blood in various parts of the country basing on the hospital demands. Without quick and timely access to donor records, creating market strategies for blood donation, lobbying and sensitization of blood donors becomes very difficult. The blood management information system offers functionalities to quick access to donor records collected from various parts of the country. It enables monitoring of the results and perform^ice of the blood donation activity such that relevant and measurable objectives of the organization can be checked. It provides to management timely, confidential and secure medical reports that facilitates planning and decision making and hence improved medical service delivery. The reports generated by the system give answers to most of the challenges management faces as far as blood donor records are concerned.The System was designed as a client/server and web-based system and implemented using open source solutions that include MySQL as the database and back-end storage engine, and PHP, HTML and JavaScript as the programming languages.
