The purpose of this study is to analyze the major variables influencing the political behavior of MIS professionals in information system development (ISD). The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is used to create the research model. We found that (1) Attitude, subjective norm, perceived political...

The paper describes the results of an experimental test of a theoretical model which explains under what circumstances the interaction between MIS-users and EDP-specialists during the design of an information system will lead to success (i.e., efficient task-accomplishment). The research also...

On the basis of the concept of compromise, this research in progress deals with the development of an Information System of competencies management. Based on the Actor Network Theory approach (Law, 1992; Callon, 2001; Akrich, Callon and Latour, 2002a,b; Latour, 2005), the concept of compromise helps us...

A real-time method is presented to adoptively estimate three-dimensional unmodeled external torques acting on a spacecraft. This is accomplished by forcing the tracking error dynamics to follow the Lyapunov function underlying the feedback control law. For the case where the external torque is...

Structural classification and parameter estimation (SCPE) methods have been used for studying single-input single. output (SISO) parallel and feedback nonlinear system models from input-output (I-O) measurements. The uniqueness of the I-O mappings of different models and parameter uniqueness of...

This paper demonstrates the utility of systems and control theory in the analysis of economic systems. Two applications demonstrate how the analysis of simple dynamic models sheds light on important practical problems. The first problem considers the design of a retail laboratory, where the...

There is great interest in the application of technological solutions driven by a thriving CRM industry. It has been shown the more effective the implementation of SFA, the greater its impact on increased sales performance. Previous research on SFA adoption has focused on the individual as the...
