▼ In recent years, given the increased investments in Information Technology (IT), and its pervasive usage in business environment, the need to ensure that IT decisions are in the interest of shareholders led practitioners and researchers to focus on Enterprise Governance of IT (EGIT). EGIT involves implementing mechanisms that ensure that IT risks are duly mitigated, and that the IT investments are yielding the expected returns for enterprise owners. For the mechanisms to work as intended, there is the need for regular auditing; however, past literature and practitioner reports have confirmed that auditors do not audit governance mechanisms to the expectation of shareholders. Within the Ghanaian Financial services sector, failures in EGIT resulted in the collapse of several organisations which made stakeholders question the role played by auditors. The purpose of this study was to examine EGIT from the perspective of the auditor, develop an audit framework based on COBIT 5 and understand how auditors can be 'critical partners’ to ensure EGIT effectiveness. To provide a better understanding of the EGIT phenomenon, a theoretical framework based on the integration of six theoretical perspectives was presented to provide a holistic view of EGIT and how auditors can add value. The theoretical framework argued in line with organisational theorists that to achieve positive outcomes, governance mechanisms must be implemented in a coherent whole and analysed as a configuration. As such the study adopted the configurational theory to analyse the coherence of the governance mechanisms. Based on the theoretical framework and the configurational theory, a conceptual framework was developed to guide the research. The thesis proposed that the greater the level of coherence among the governance mechanisms, the higher the level of EGIT effectiveness, and that the audit of EGIT will improve the maturity of the governance mechanisms and its coherence. The pragmatic philosophic stance was adopted, utilising qualitative and quantitative methods to answer the research question. The Peffers, Tuunanen, Rothenberger, & Chatterjee, (2008) design science research methodology guided the identification of the problem and the development of an artefact that can aid IT auditors by providing them with an adequate scope for EGIT audits and reduce the audit detection risks. An Exploratory Focus Group (EFG) and a Confirmatory Focus Group (CFG) were employed in the development of the artefact. In addition, a survey instrument was utilised to gather data about the governance maturity of the case organisations prior to and after the usage of the artefact. Cluster analysis based on the concept of 'coherence as a gestalt’ produced cluster solutions revealing the nature of the configuration that resulted in positive outcomes. Post-Hoc analysis was used in the summative evaluation of the artefact to measure the statistically significant changes that occurred in the governance maturity after the use of the artefact. The findings revealed that regular… Advisors/Committee Members: Kyobe, Michael (advisor).

▼ Information Technology (IT) has become indispensable in contemporary business processes and in business value creation strategies. Those charged with governance, risk management and compliance are, often, challenged by sophisticated IT oriented decision-making dilemmas due to complex IT use in contemporary business processes. Investors and other stakeholders increasingly expect very rich, reliable and transparent assurance that their interests are safe. Auditors, as a result, are looked upon to expand their role to leverage the functions of those charged with governance and management. IT audit literature, hence, demonstrates existence of several best practices aimed at meeting the increasing demand for more audit and assurance outcomes that bridge the widening audit expectations gaps. In developing countries with less stringent regulatory systems, however, attempts to implement many of these frameworks have proved unsuccessful. Reasons include paucity of guidance in the frameworks and lack of suitable theoretical foundations to resort to for solutions to implementation challenges. Extant literature review reveals scanty research effort by practitioners or academicians in the field in the empirical situation to design a more suitable framework to serve as intervention. In this research an attempt has been made to create an intervention by designing a framework, i.e. an artefact for IT auditing for less regulated business environments. By adductive inference the cybernetics theory of viable systems approach was ingrained as the theoretical foundation from which the variables for the design were extracted. The abduction was based on the diagnostic power and ability to support self-regulation in a less regulatory environment. Action design research (ADR) approach was employed to achieve the research objective. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were found to be useful for the evaluation and data analysis. At the design phase, a multiple case study method together with workshops were employed to gain insight into the problem and to collect data to support the design process. Four organisations from both public and private sectors in Ghana were selected to participate in the research. At the evaluation stage a survey technique was used to collect data mainly for the validation of construct variables and the refinement of the framework. The questionnaire scale used was 1=Strongly Disagree; 2=Disagree; 3=Somewhat Agree; 4=Agree and 5=Strongly Agree. A total of 136 respondents who included IT audit and Internal audit practitioners, Audit trainees and students, Directors and management staff were involved from four selected organisations. A factor analysis yielded twenty variables extracted from the ingrained theory for the building of a conceptual model which were grouped into six factors or domains. The entire conceptual model was tested with PLS-SEM technique because of the causal relationships that motivated the development of the conceptual hypotheses. A composite reliability used to assess the internal… Advisors/Committee Members: Kyobe, Michael (advisor).

▼ Construction projects are commonly acknowledged as successful when they are completed on time, within budget, and in accordance with specifications and to stakeholders’ satisfaction. Many of the projects exceed the original cost; get cancelled prior to completion, while others fail on terms of the delivered functionality. While large amounts of time and resources are dedicated to selecting and designing projects, it remains of paramount importance that projects be adequately managed in organizations if they are to achieve their performance objectives. The purpose of the study was to establish the influence of Project Management Information System on project performance in the construction industry; a case of Nairobi County, Kenya. The Objectives of this study were to determine the influence of: the system, quality information, the system user and the system use on performance of construction projects. Descriptive survey was used this enabled the researcher obtain the opinions of project managers in their natural setting and it is also good for management decision making. The target population of the study was 98 from which a sample size of 80 was determined from the Krejice and Morgan table (1970), purposive sampling was used to select the sample from the target population. After data collection, the questionnaires were cleaned, coded and organized out which 76% of the self-administered questionnaires were analyzed. Validity of the research instrument was ascertained by seeking the opinions of experts in the field of study; 10% of target population was selected to test the reliability of the research instruments. Cronbach’s alpha test was utilized in assessing reliability of research instrument an alpha value of 0.9584 was obtained, thus the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable.the research instrument used was reliable.the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable.the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable.the research instrument used was reliable.the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable. the research instrument used was reliable.the research instrument used was reliable.

▼ As a result of an initial assessment of Auckland University of Technology’s (AUT) application for accreditation to AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), one of the single most important issues identified was the management and development of an ‘Information System’ (IS) to increase the productivity and efficiency of the daily business at AUT’s Business School. Firstly, this study attempts to identify, through qualitative interviews with selected staff members of AUT’s Business School, user requirements for a file sharing information system. Adopting Soft Systems Methodology, Checkland’s (2006) proposed ‘CATWOE’ model, rich picture and root definitions are used to elicit and evaluate the users’ system requirements. Secondly, by using Checkland’s proposed tools, this study strives to evaluate the information systems currently used at AUT (“I-Drive”, “Novell GroupWise”, “Knowledge Base” and “Wiki-Software”). The systems are evaluated in terms of possibilities and restrictions of sharing information through expanding to a ‘file and knowledge sharing’ system that meets the identified user requirements. Thirdly a realisability analysis is performed to determine the implications of the user requirements (identified through interviews) upon an existing information system or a new system. Finally, to provide a solution for the identified issues and given recommendations, a ‘conceptual model’ (Checkland P, 2006) is developed. Findings from this study indicate that information and file sharing at AUT Business School is at a sub-optimal level of performance. The prime reasons for this problem appear to lie with ‘soft’ organisational issues, including the organisation’s culture, together with a lack of set operational standards and regulations, rather than with the information systems themselves. Due to the confidential nature of this inquiry, the names and titles of interviewees have been disguised. Advisors/Committee Members: Nolan, Terry (advisor).

▼ Strategic IT outsourcing decisions have attracted attentions from the researchers and practitioners for over a decade. However, although there were many researchers emphasizing the âcontentâ of information technology, few were focusing on the âdistributionâ issues. Lee, Huynh et al. (2003) identified seven patterns in the outsourcing research literature from a historical evolutionary perspective. These patterns, which can serve as areas of inquiries in the domain of IT outsourcing research, include: outsourcing decision (to make or to buy), outsourcing motivation, scope of outsourcing, performance assessment, insourcing (the variant of outsourcing), outsourcing contract, and outsourcing partnership. This research focuses on the areas of outsourcing contract and partnerships at the higher end of the evolutionary loop, but would refer to the other areas of IT outsourcing research as needed. Mahnke, Overby and Van (2005) draw on concept-centric literature review approach (Meta-analysis approach) to review 19 empirical IT outsourcing research between 1995-2002. They report their findings of the theoretical perspectives used in these empirical studies, which include transaction cost economics, competence perspective and relational view. Building on their endeavor, my meta-analysis review in this research study will focus on empirical IT outsourcing studies conducted after 2002, especially on empirical research centered on IT outsourcing contract and partnering issues that have not been extensively reviewed by Mahnke et al. and other researchers. Drawing on concept-centric literature review approach suggested by Webster and Watson (2002) in MIS Quarterly, this research study will integrate cross-field knowledge on IT outsourcing contracts and partnerships issues, and thus infer to media firms management. Our key findings includes the discussion between theories and empirical research, knowledge integration of outsourcing contract and outsourcing partnerships, comparison of empirical studies content, and other important concepts. Besides, we combine our findings and the three main theories in IT outsourcing field: TCE, RBV, and RV, and thus made the integrated theoretical framework. Finally, we infer our integrated theoretical framework to media firmsâ management. Advisors/Committee Members: Hsing-Tze Lin (chair), Chingning Wang (committee member), Deng-Neng Chen (chair).

▼ The research presented in this study was motivated by the question, "How do information security managers make decisions in the absence of empirical data and how do they know these decisions are successful?" These decisions concern the allocation of security resources across the information technology enterprise and would ideally be based on quantifiable metrics. However, the metrics currently available offer no relevant information about the effectiveness of the security architecture. While effectiveness is generally considered the degree to which objectives are met, in this case the definition is illusive. Defining effective security must be based on assessing a condition where nothing bad is happening. Interestingly, it seems that some security managers are recognized as being more successful at making these decisions than others. Are these successful security managers merely guessing or is there some tacit knowledge or process being used for decision-making? In implementing effective security architectures, the security manager uses not only the available metrics, but also a qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of the information technology security architecture. The security manager's qualitative assessment is the focus of this research. A qualitative research approach was used to explore how information security managers make decisions. A series of open-ended interviews were conducted with six highly experienced and highly regarded security practitioners. The transcribed interviews were qualitatively analyzed, and as a result, two models of information security decision processes were developed and presented to these experts for critique. The process models represent simultaneous and competing goals that are referred to as the As-is Security Decision Process, which describes decisions in the current security environment, and the To-be Security Decision Process, which describes decisions to develop and evolve the security environment. These two security decision process models, with supporting data, are presented in this study. Additionally, analysis of the interviews provided insight to eight additional themes, which provide a detailed elaboration of key process nodes and concepts used in the two process models. Potential uses of the models and the themes include developing curricular materials for teaching information security officers and using them as a starting point to determining effective IT security and describing successful decision-making.

▼ This dissertation is an investigation of selected aspects of the Classical Method of expert judgment combination: a weighted linear average where the weights are determined by rating the experts on the basis of a test in which experts provide subjective probability distributions representing their best estimates of a parameter or physical quantity. These distributions provide information about how precisely the expert knows the value of the quantity as well as the level of certainty that the expert expresses. The Classical Method makes two measurements from the set of provided distributions, calibration (measuring correctness) and "information" (measuring distribution width). Two parameters of the Classical model are investigated: number of experts and number of test questions. The data show that there is a benefit in adding experts up to ten which is in accordance with theoretical analysis of linear opinion pooling. The data also show an increasing benefit in using up to fifteen test questions, with a continuing increase, but leveling off after fifteen. This dissertation compares and contrasts the Classical Method calibration measurement with another alternative calibration measurement from the literature (Hora), both theoretically and empirically via a simulation study. There are significant differences between the calibration methods which have an impact on the final combined CDF. This dissertation investigates the usage of both calibration methods to determine the expert weights and as a method of evaluating the resultant combined CDFs. A simulation algorithm for randomly generating probability interval data of the type used in an expert judgment study of a continuous quantity is developed (GENIUS). Expert provided distributions are not assumed to conform to a specific probability distribution; rather, the simulation models cognitive and mental properties of experts known from the literature: normative (statistical methodology) expertise and subject matter expertise; expert overconfidence; expert bias; and a tendency towards symmetry in responses. The simulation method presented can be used in conjunction with any mathematical expert combination technique operating on three point interval data and allows user parameter adjustment via spreadsheet. Full code used to perform the simulation and data analysis is also presented.

▼ The Kenyan Government Introduced Integrated Financial Management Information System with aim of improving supply chain measures practices. The main aim of this study was to investigate aligning technical capability with IFMIS and supply chain measures in the Kenyan public sector. The objectives of the study were to determine how technical capability aligns with IFMIS and Supply Chain Measures in the Kenyan public sector; to establish the relationship between technical capability and IFMIS and Supply Chain Measures in the Kenyan Public sector; to investigate the impact of Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) on supply chain measures in the public sector. The study significantly will help to resolve some of the challenges faced by the procurement officers, while it’s being re-engineered, thus it will act as a source of efficiency and effectiveness in their day to day operations. Moreover, the results of this study will enable the government to formulate strategy to ensure IFMIS implementation is successful. The study will be based on Resource-based theory which analyzes the sources and sustainability of IFMIS the supply chain measures. The research study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population of study consisted of five ministries under the National Government of Kenya, the target population of the study include the Information Technology officers, Accountants, finance officers and procurement officers in the selected Ministries. Primary data was collected from respondents by using questionnaire. The data was coded to check for errors and omissions. Questionnaires responses were tabulated and processed by use of SPSS for data analysis. Percentages and frequency tables were used to present findings and regression analysis performed between technical capacity and IFMIS implementation elements. Majority of the respondents reiterated that skilled manpower, implementation strategy, employee commitment and dedication affect the Alignment technical capability of IFMIS on SCM in their ministries to a great extent. Respondents agreed that Lack of shared information technology vision contributes to the most severe problems in technical alignment of IFMIS and SCM in the government ministry. Most of the respondents indicated that IFMIS introduction has reduced manual data entry in line with the supply chain measures. The study concludes that there has been a moderate level of technical alignment of IFMIS in the government ministries. Traceability, Reduced corruption and Timeliness in place affect the technical alignment of IFMIS. IFMIS forms part of the financial management reform practices of developing countries globally. It holds benefits such as effective control over public finances, contributes to the enhancement of transparency and accountability and serves as a deterrent to corruption and fraud. The IFMIS should be designed to accommodate all financial transactions within the government to reduce waste, enhance record keeping, for planning and reduction of…

▼ HIV and Aids has been identified worldwide as one of the main causes of reduced economic growth in most of the developing countries. This is because a lot of resources are diverted in health care provision to patient living with HIV and AIDS which also reduces personal output. Due to the devastating effect of HIV/AIDS, the government in 1999, declared HIV/AIDS a national disaster and established National AIDS Control Council (NACC) to coordinate a multisectoral fight against the pandemic (World bank, 2005). This enabled the government to avail enough resources and manpower in the fight against the spread of this disease. Kenya has achieved much in the areas of ARV dispensation, educating people on HIV and AIDS prevention and care. However one of the biggest problem affecting HIV and AIDS treatment is funding. Most of the organisations dealing with HIV and AIDS including the government still relying on donor funding to meet medication needs for their patients; due to this Most of the CCC’S are unable to provide patient medication requirement for the required duration of three months. Kenya is a transit country for Eastern and Central Africa, Hence there are a lot of migratory HIV and AIDS patient moving from one country to another especially truck drivers when delivering goods from Mombasa main port to the other parts of Eastern and central Africa. Due to this most of them spend more than three month on transit. This is more than medication provided. Usually ARV are provided for three months some of which it’s not possible due to their cost. This is one of the hindrance to reducing diseases caused by HIV and AIDS such as TB. To reduce this issue there are several CCC cares across the countries but due to lack of CCCs interoperability patients are not able to obtain medication when on transit due to lack of their treatment historical data which is very important for any medication to be provided. With the growth of mobile technology in world, this issue can be eliminated by ensuring that patient information which is normally captured and transmitted to NASSCOP is stored centrally. If a patient visit any CCC no need for providing any hardcopies document, use of guess or information stored as draft messages on their mobile phones. Using our personal health information mobile system, the patient system provides their patient identification number which is sent as a sms and a response is sent back to the clinician with the previous crucial services provided to the patient and the patient is provided with the required services. V The issue of patient visiting their origin CCC of registration in order to get all services is eradication because as long as their information maintained centrally they can obtain information from any CCCs. From our system testing if patient information has been stored correctly and also clinician information maintained in the system, security of patient data is maintained, nobody is able to obtain patient data and also patient cannot request for His/her…

▼ Procurement in public sector plays a vital role in the economy of the third world countries and was estimated to account for 9-13 percent of the gross domestic product. However, much consideration should be focused on the procurement since many of its resources are poorly managed among different countries. Over the past years, the government of Kenya has embarked on various public financial management reforms with the goal of enhancing liability and transparency as well as support in the fiscal discipline achievements, efficiency and strategic allocation as well as funds utilization, monetary value and profitability in the public funds usage. Integrated financial management information system was introduced to assist the government in effectively leveraging old and new technology to improve the pace of reforms and management of cash and this became a vital target for the budgets of countries agenda to reform which is normally considered as a prerequisite for management effectiveness in achieving resources of budgets. However, despite a number of researches having reported optimistic findings with performance improvement by the financial systems found in public sector, there are still hurdles in the major economic areas and there have also been drawbacks reported by most scholars in the system’s full functionality. The major goal of this research was to scrutinize the role of IFMIS on operational performance of Kenya Rural Roads Authority. Technology acceptance model together with task-technology fit theory was the foundation of the study. The study adopted case research design. The target population of this study was the departments of the KeRRA set-up. A census survey was followed and data collection was done through a questionnaire. The study reported a response rate of 70 percent. The study relied on descriptive statistics and inferential statistics in the analysis of the collected data. The study discovered that stock and monitoring, transparency and fiscal information have strong significant influence in determining operations performance and that the major challenge facing the implementation of IFMIS system was that some key activities at KeRRA were still being undertaken outside the system. The study therefore recommends that guideline on best practices should be embraced to ensure full implementation and functioning of IFMIS system.

▼ The effect of technology in today’s business world cannot be underestimated, the advent of technology has brought significant changes to the way of life of many individuals, businesses, social systems etc. Technology has provided us with new tools for communicating, acquiring and sharing knowledge and information. In this regard for businesses to remain competitive and achieve their aim they have to rapidly adjust business practices, techniques, methods and functions to new technological innovations. The impact of technology on accounting has brought very subtle changes to accounting itself but has greatly changed the accounting practices, methods, techniques and the way accounting books are kept. Like any other business function, information technology has facilitated the accounting function thereby making the work of the accountant to become easier that is technology has speed up the process of producing financial statements like income statements, balance sheets etc. In this light it is important to investigate the effect of information technology on devices which are used to produce these financial statements (accounting information systems). Accounting information system is defined as a system which collects, records, stores and processes data to provide information for decision making (Romney and Steinbart, 2008). This implies that the purpose of an accounting information system is to process the financial data of businesses and provide users with necessary information. Purpose: This research addresses the question related to the effect of modern information technology on accounting information systems. The first part of this research consist of detailed theoretical knowledge on accounting information systems, this section is followed by how modern information technology changed the accounting information systems from «stand alone» systems to accounting information systems which are integrated to all business functions , the next section is a short introduction of the SAP Company and its products. The area of focus is on the SAP R/3 integrated systems with special emphasis on the functions and constituents of the financial accounting and controlling modules which performs the accounting task in SAP. Methodology: After doing extensive literature review on accounting information systems and the changes it is undergoing with the influence of modern information technology, we decide to do an illustrative case by using SAP. From this point, the focus is on the financial accounting and controlling modules of the SAP R/3 application which performs the accounting task in SAP. After a thorough analysis of the literature review and the illustrative case, we came out with some findings. Findings: The findings from our research led to the conclusion that the impact of modern information technology is beneficial to the accounting function and the organization as a whole because it automates the accounting information systems thereby reducing the work load of accountants that is accountants no longer have to… Advisors/Committee Members: Tóth, Kornél (advisor).

▼ This research proposes an on-line Environmental Information System for Planners (EISP). The Environmental Information System for Planners has been developed in collaboration with five local authorities as a web-based system designed to support decision making within the UK planning framework. It has been built as a ‘proof-of-concept’ system to demonstrate the value to urban planning of making information on environmental issues more widely accessible. The EISP has been designed to support three principal planning functions carried out by Local Authorities: Pre-planning enquiries; Development control decisions; and Strategic planning. The system incorporates 12 environmental themes: Air quality (PM10); Shallow undermining; Landslide susceptibility; Groundwater protection; Flood risk; Drainage; Land contamination; Proximity to landfill; Biodiversity; Natural heritage designations; Man-made heritage; and Natural Ground Stability (Geohazards). The design framework is based upon a series of decision flow diagrams, each covering one of the above themes. These decision flows take account of current planning procedures in the UK. Industry-standard web technologies have been employed to integrate the flows and develop the functionality that will allow the planner access to the system through secure web pages. Underpinning the system is an environmental Geographical Information System (GIS) that contains the most up-to-date data, information and models relevant to each of the environmental themes listed. The planning regulations are subject to change and so the system has been designed in a modular way so that new legislation can be accommodated without the need for a complete system rewrite. This modular approach also means that the system can be readily adapted to reflect local priorities and to draw on local datasets. The EISP was successfully tested and the thesis concludes with a costed business case study for commercial implementation and rollout of a production EISP system populated with appropriate environmental data within UK local authorities.

▼ Background: Failure to achieve their goals of over 200 U.S. Health Information Exchange Networks (HIENs) which formed or operated in the U.S. from 2004 to 2010, lost time, capital and opportunity at individual, organizational and societal levels, and a lack of theory driven research on HIENs underscores a need for research to better understand factors affecting development of these kinds of large, complex collaborations. Purpose: A new dual network participation theory is developed by combining three source theories. The new theory supports integrated consideration of organizational and technological factors which affect participation by individuals and their affiliated organizations in complex collaborations like HIENs. Research questions are formulated focused on advancing knowledge about: types of participation in HIENs; validity of variables used to operationalize the theory; barriers and enablers to participation in HIENs; and implications for theory and research. Method: A retrospective, theory-driven, multi-level, multi-case, mixed methods case study is done using a convenience sample of 6 HIEN sites (network level), 109 individuals (individual level) and 125 organizations (organizational level). Qualitative data is analyzed to develop valid ordinal variables and test hypotheses for each case. Valid ordinal variables are entered into SPSS. A principle component analysis is done to create combined predictor variables. An OLS regression analysis supports identification of predictor effects on intent to participate. Network level analyses identify key influences on the predictors. Findings: Network level barriers to participation include heterogeneity of participants, lack of HIEN resources, lack of qualified leadership, lack of training and education and lack of stable Network IT. Individual/organizational level barriers include lack of support from influential others, low benefit expectancy, lack of knowledge, and high cost expectancy. Recommendations are made for future research studies with enough statistical power for hypothesis testing across larger populations of sites/participants (e.g., 100-300 sites; 1,000 - 3,000 participants). Conclusions: While the use of a small, non-random sample of sites/subjects implies caution regarding generalization, the research yields new insights with implications for both practice and theory. These include preliminary recommendations for improving the success of HIENs and new opportunities for research on barriers and enablers of participation in large scale collaborations.
