Strategic Information System Planning in Healthcare Organizations

Theresa Lee (University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada), Amir Hossein Ghapanchi (School of Information and Communication Technology, Griffith University, Southport, Queensland, Australia, and Institute for Integrated and Intelligent Systems, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia), Amir Talaei-Khoei (School of Systems, Management and Leadership, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia), Pradeep Ray (Asia Pacific ubiquitous Healthcare Research Centre (APuHC), UNSW, Sydney, Australia)

The healthcare industry is a critical and growing part of economies worldwide. To provide better quality of care, and value for money, billions of dollars are being spent on bettering information systems in healthcare organizations. Strategic Information System Planning (SISP) is instrumental in making informed decisions to achieve the health organizations' goals and objectives. This paper undertakes a systematic review to gain insight into existing studies on SISP in healthcare organizations. Our systematic review of papers on SISP from 1985 to 2011 examines the background and trend of research into SISP in the healthcare industry, classification of topics in SISP, as well as sets of tools and guidelines to aid practitioners and the research community alike.

The Impact of On-Line Consumer Reviews on Value Perception: The Dual-Process Theory and Uncertainty Reduction

Hsin Hsin Chang (National Cheng Kung University, Tainan City, Taiwan), Po Wen Fang (National Cheng Kung University, Tainan City, Taiwan), Chien Hao Huang (National Cheng Kung University, Tainan City, Taiwan)

This study combines the dual-process theory (DPT) and the uncertainty reduction theory (URT) to examine how on-line consumer reviews affect consumer uncertainty reduction and value perceptions in order to understand whether consumer attitudes will be influenced by on-line consumer reviews and if relationships are built between consumers and companies as a result. The results indicated that argument quality, recommendation sidedness, source credibility, confirmation of prior beliefs, and recommendation ratings have a positive effect on the uncertainty reduction of consumers towards the businesses under consideration. Since uncertainty reduction has an effect on value perception, this study suggests that companies provide on-line consumer reviews on their websites to increase consumer uncertainty reduction and to improve consumer value perception of their companies.

ARTICLE 3

Knowledge Sharing, Social Relationships, and Contextual Performance: The Moderating Influence of Information Technology Competence

Jianping Peng (Sun Yat-sen Business School, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China), Jing Quan (Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, Salisbury University, Salisbury, MD, USA), Guoying Zhang (Dillard College of Business Administration, Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX, USA), Alan J. Dubinsky (Dillard College of Business Administration, Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX, USA & Purdue University West Lafayette, IN, USA)

A firm's core competitiveness results primarily from its ability to innovate. Knowledge sharing plays an important role in promoting sustained innovation. This research examines two factors that enable employee knowledge sharing. Using responses from a questionnaire that was distributed to professionals in a research and development (R&D) department of a Chinese commercial elevator firm, the investigation examines whether social relationships and contextual performance influence knowledge sharing through the moderating effect of employee IT competence. Study findings reveal that social relationships-which include both the degree of centrality of the employee's social network and frequency of interpersonal interaction-and employee contextual performance have a significant positive impact on knowledge sharing. This association, however, is found to be positively moderated by employee IT competence. The findings provide managerial and future research insights pertaining to promoting knowledge sharing by enhancing employee social relationships, rewarding contextual performance, and providing regular IT training for employees.
