The entanglement of culture, leadership and performance in information systems development projects
Information systems (IS) development represents a significant area of research interest in the IS discipline. Despite this interest, IS development projects consistently fall short in delivering anticipated outcomes within time, quality and cost constraints. Attempts by researchers to uncover …

Total Quality Management Approach To The Information Systems Development Processes: An Empirical Study
The purpose of this dissertation is to study the application of Total Quality Management (TQM) in the Information Systems (IS) development processes. The study describes and evaluates TQM concepts and techniques in the IS development processes and interprets sub-organizational elements in the …

The Emergence, Evolution and Frequent Failure of the Industrial Symbiosis: The Evidence from the Sugar Refinery Industry, Chongzuo City, China
Industrial symbiosis (hereafter IS) has been hailed as a win-win solution to our industrial pollution problems, but such projects have frequently failed. The present research set out to explore the dynamics and causal mechanism of IS development and to discover the causes of its failure. It studied …

Milti-party Information Systems development : the challenge of cross-boundary collaboration
Information System (IS) development has always involved multiple stakeholders, but the IS literature has traditionally focused on collaboration between two groups: technical developers and users. With changes in technology, growth in IS outsourcing, and the increased strategic role of IS …

Organisation development and successful information systems development
This thesis represents a qualitative study of the Information Systems Development (ISD) process and puts forward the argument that IS development leads to Organisation Development (OD). The thesis argues that an OD perspective should be incorporated into the main ISD paradigm and provide the basis …

High-Level Power Estimation
… to estimate power. The main contribution of this research is development of predictors (estimators) for activity, area, and delay for combinational circuits, thus making it possible to estimate power at the RT level. All of the above predictors work with a functional description of the design …

Exploring information systems development in English local government : a morphogenetic approach
This thesis examines the complex relationships between agency (Le. populations, organised groups,individual actors and collectivities), structure (Le. systems, institutions, roles, positions), and culture(ideas, theories, beliefs and values) in the specific context of cycles of information systems …

Essays in Measuring, Controlling, and Coordinating Supply Chain Inventory and Transportation Operations
… collaboration programs, such as continuous replenishment program (CRP), is among the most popular supply chain management practices. CRP is an arrangement between two partners in a supply chain to share information on a regular basis for lowering logistics costs while maintaining or increasing …

A socio-cognitive theory of information systems and initial applications
… literature about designing information systems (IS) to satisfy organizational, rather than purely technical, objectives. The design of systems to address the requirements of end-users has also received considerable attention. Little has been said, however, about the relationship between these two …

Contributions to Functional Data Analysis
Functional data consist of repeated measurements taken over time for each subject. The data for a subject are assumed to be values of a random function that is observed at a discrete time points rather than a sequence of individual measurements. Functional data are classified dense or sparse based …

SYNTHESES AND METAL MEDIATED REACTION CHEMISTRY OF 2-SILYL-1,3-DIENES
… reactions remain challenges in organic synthesis. Since the discovery of the Diels-Alder reaction over eighty years ago, it has been one of the most important tools for synthetic organic chemists to synthesize as many as three carbocyclic rings in intermolecular and intramolecular reactions. …

A Participatory Evaluation of a Development NGO in Nicaragua
International development has been a central aspect of foreign policy from the "developed" to the "less-developed" world for more than fifty years. Despite several trillions of dollars being spent for the ambiguous purpose that is "development," poverty and suffering have yet to be eliminated. With …

The Future of the Already Built
… of a sustained forward-thinking approach to the development of the existing built environment, combined with innovation in the pedagogical approach to the teaching of architecture, adaptive reuse, and interiors. I am one of the first authors to discuss adaptive reuse as a stand-alone theoretical …

Optimization of communication intensive applications on HPC networks
Communication is a necessary but overhead inducing component of parallel programming. Its impact on application design and performance is due to several related aspects of a parallel job execution: network topology, routing protocol, suitability of algorithm being used to the network, job …

Specification theory, patterns, and models in information systems domains: an exploratory investigation
… are an important aspect of Information Systems (IS) development. Observations of over thirty IS projects suggest dimly perceived structural patterns in specifications that are unaccounted for in research and practice. This investigation utilizes a theory building with case studies methodology to …
