Mobile information systems hold great potential to support organizational processes. This paper addresses how to realize that potential, the issues involved, the challenges to overcome, and accordingly, the effective strategy to deploy. Based on Goodhue and Thompson's (1995) general theory of...

Mobile information systems hold great promise to support organizational processes. Clear guidelines however, of how to design effective mobile information systems in support of organizational processes have not been developed. Based on earlier research studies that emphasized the importance of a...

In this exploratory study, we seek to help explain and predict the success of mobile information systems based on a research model that joins key elements of the theory of task-technology fit and the technology acceptance model. To account for idiosyncrasies of the mobile technology artifact, as...

This paper reports on an empirical study to assess the impacts, benefits, and critical success factors of mobile applications to enhance an electronic procurement system. For different user groups, we analyze the role of the work environment for the usage and, ultimately, the benefits of the...

This paper examines emergent information systems and technologies and explains under what supply and demand conditions inter-firm modularization of information-based products and services and subsequent vertical de-integration of organizations is more likely.

In this paper, we explore (a) the requirements of business users of mobile devices in relation with user tasks and user mobility, and (b) the relationship of the extent to which user-indicated technology requirements are met by user-perceived technology performance (fit), and overall user...

This paper introduces an attention-based view of idea integration that underscores the importance of IS user interface design. The assumption is that presenting ideas via user interface plays a key role in enabling and motivating idea integration in electronic brainstorming (EBS), and thus...

As advanced mobile technology becomes more widespread, the impacts on professional environments and on the personal lives of individual users continue to increase. Devices, such as smart cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and laptop computers can free their owners of the need to...

Flexibility can have important consequences for the operational efficiency and long-term effectiveness of an enterprise system, yet is often not considered explicitly as a decision factor during system design and implementation. In this article, we join managerial advice for implementation...
