The Global Digital Divide: Evidence and Drivers

Frederico Cruz-Jesus (NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS),
Lisbon, Portugal), Tiago Oliveira (NOVA Information Management School (NOVA
IMS), Lisbon, Portugal), Fernando Bacao (NOVA Information Management School
(NOVA IMS), Lisbon, Portugal)

This article presents an analysis of the global digital divide, based on
data collected from 45 countries, including the ones belonging to the
European Union, OECD, Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC). The analysis
shows that one factor can explain a large part of the variation in the
seven ICT variables used to measure the digital development of countries.
This measure is then used with additional variables, which are hypothesised
as drivers of the divide for a regression analysis using data from 2015,
2013, and 2011, which reveals economic and educational imbalances between
countries, along with some aspects of geography, as drivers of the digital
divide. Contrary to the authors' expectations, the English language is not
a driver.

Building Initial Trust in an Intermediary in B2C Online Marketplaces: The
Korean Evidence From Interpark.com

Ilyoo Barry Hong (College of Business and Economics, Chung-Ang University,
Seoul, South Korea)

The author develops and test a consumer trust model for building first-time
buyer's trust in an intermediary in Korean online marketplaces. Data was
collected via a questionnaire survey using 218 respondents. Results from an
empirical analysis indicate that while all the three factors of
trustworthiness were found to be a predictor of overall initial trust in
the intermediary, ‘integrity' turned out to have the strongest association
with overall trust. The author's findings suggest that trustworthiness
beliefs and trust are conceptually distinct from each other and that the
former is a predictor of the latter. The article offers implications for
both academics and practitioners of online marketplaces.

A Three Country Study for Understanding Physicians' Engagement With
Electronic Information Resources Pre and Post System Implementation

Virginia Ilie (School of Management, California Lutheran University,
Thousand Oaks, USA), Sweta Sneha (Coles College of Business, Kennesaw State
University, Kennesaw, USA)

Deriving the benefits of electronic information resources as provided by
electronic medical record systems (EMR) on a global scale is critically
dependent on physicians' adoption and continued use of such resources. Yet,
there is little known about the factors that motivate physicians to adopt
and continue to use electronic information resources. The purpose of this
article is to investigate the motivational factors leading to adoption and
usage of electronic information resources in diverse regions of the world
including developing countries (India and Egypt) and developed countries
(the US). Based on the socio-cognitive theory and the decomposed theory of
planned behavior, the authors surveyed 314 physicians in three countries in
order to assess their engagement with electronic information resources.
Data was analyzed via PLS for direct and indirect effects of
socio-cognitive constructs and their impact on electronic information
resources' use intentions. The authors' results suggest there are
similarities as well as differences in factors impacting adoption and usage
of electronic information resources pre and post EMR implementation in both
developing and developed countries. They found that physicians' perceptions
of effort expectations, technological infrastructure and support, and
computer self-efficacy were the strongest direct drivers influencing
intentions to use electronic information resources both in pre and post-EMR
implementations in all three countries that were studied. However, a richer
set of factors contributed to physicians' intentions to continue to use
electronic information resources, post-EMR, in developed countries as
compared to pre-EMR in developing countries. Social influences had a strong
indirect effects, influencing physicians' perceptions of effort
expectations post-EMR as well as perceptions of performance expectations
pre-EMR implementation. Computer self-efficacy was a significant predictor
of effort expectations of an electronic information resource both pre and
post-EMR implementation while compatibility with physicians' practices
significantly influenced performance expectations in both pre and post EMR
implementations in all three countries studied. The authors' study provides
important theoretical and practical implications for successful management
and implementation of electronic information resources such that they are
adopted and used in the healthcare environment.

CIO Competencies From the IT Professional Perspective: Insights From Brazil

Luiz Antonio Joia (Brazilian School of Public & Business Administration at
Getulio Vargas Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), José Carlos P. Correia
(Getulio Vargas Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

The position of Chief Information Officer (CIO) has become increasingly
important in companies. However, it can be perceived that this
professional, whose functions are increasingly complex, realizes that
his/her core competencies are not always sufficient to tackle the daily
professional routine centered around the constant transformations the
business arena has witnessed. Thus, by using Social Representation Theory
operationalized by the Words Evocation Technique, this article sets out to
investigate what the Brazilian IT professional perceptions about the CIO
core competencies are, in order to compare them with the Brazilian CIO
perceptions about his/her own competencies. The work concludes that in
Brazil there is strong cognitive dissonance between those perceptions, as
only the “capacity to influence the organization” and “technical expertise”
competencies are perceived as being essential competencies for CIOs both by
IT professionals and CIOs themselves. Lastly, the article highlights some
managerial implications accrued from the results obtained.

Methodological Research for Modular Neural Networks Based on “an Expert
With Other Capabilities”

Pan Wang (Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China), Jiasen Wang
(Hithink RoyalFlush Information Network Co., Ltd., Hangzhou, China), Jian
Zhang (Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China)

This article contains a new subnet training method for modular neural
networks, proposed with the inspiration of the principle of “an expert with
other capabilities”. The key point of this method is that a subnet learns
the neighbor data sets while fulfilling its main task: learning the
objective data set. Additionally, a relative distance measure is proposed
to replace the absolute distance measure used in the classical subnet
learning method and its advantage in the general case is theoretically
discussed. Both methodology and empirical study of this new method are
presented. Two types of experiments respectively related with the
approximation problem and the prediction problem in nonlinear dynamic
systems are designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Compared with the classical subnet learning method, the average testing
error of the proposed method is dramatically decreased and more stable. The
superiority of the relative distance measure is also corroborated.

The Theory and Practice of IT Governance Maturity and Strategies Alignment:
Evidence From Banking Industry

Mojtaba Rees Safari (Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai
Jiaotong University, Shanghai, China), Qingquan Jiang (Xiamen University of
Technology, Xiamen, China)

Information technology (IT) is considered as a major and strategic part in
development of banks business, and banks using IT as a competitive
advantage. Nowadays IT governance is as a constituent part of governance in
banks. Key role of information and communication technology (ICT) in bank
growth and development is obvious to top managers, but what needs to be
considered carefully is the alignment of business strategies with IT
strategies. This article intends to investigate the significant differences
of IT governance maturity among the Iranian Banking Industry
(publicly-owned and privately-owned). To achieve these implications, an IT
governance framework and COBIT 4.1 were employed, using data from 17 large
publicly-owned and privately-owned banks. The results indicate that
privately-owned banks have a higher maturity rank in alignment of business
strategies with IT strategies compared to publicly-owned banks.

The setting of railway station waiting room and waiting zones relates to
passengers' feeling and satisfaction. In this article, the authors develop
an optimization model for railway station waiting room assignment, as well
as considering adjustment of platforms. With four types of improvement
strategies: zone optimization, room optimization, time optimization and
interactive priority policy, this optimal model aims to effectively and
efficiently improve the railway service quality and security.

The Role of Functional Diversity, Collective Team Identification, and Task
Cohesion in Influencing Innovation Speed: Evidence From Software
Development Teams

Jin Chen (School of Business, East China University of Science and
Technology, Shanghai, China), Wei Yang Lim (Deston Precision Engineering
Pte Ltd, Singapore), Bernard C.Y. Tan (Department of Information Systems
and Analytics, National University of Singapore, Singapore), Hong Ling
(Department of Information Management and Information Systems, Fudan
University, Shanghai, China)

This article opens up the black box of innovation and examines the
relationship between functional diversity in software teams and the often
neglected dimension of innovation – speed, over the two phases of
innovation: creativity and idea implementation. By combining information
processing view and social identity theory, the authors hypothesize that
when collective team identification is low, functional diversity positively
affects the time spent in the creativity phase; however, when collective
team identification is high, this relationship is inverted U-shaped. When
task cohesion is high, functional diversity negatively affects the time
spent in the idea implementation phase; however, when task cohesion is low,
this relationship is U-shaped. Results from 96 IT software-teams confirmed
the authors' hypotheses. Theoretical and managerial implications are
discussed.

College of Business, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, USA)

The Mobile Internet Information Technology (MIIT) has been widely accepted
as one of the most promising technologies in the next decades, having
various applications and different value positions. However, few published
studies explore and examine the effects of MIIT on community management.
Based on the Dramaturgical Theory, this article uses a case study method to
get an insightful understanding of MIIT. This article found that the MIIT
was used by grid organizations to realize technological innovation and
change organizational routines and structures, but eventually it was shaped
by them, so this new technology was only able to embed itself into the
public service model as a secondary or complementary role.

When Is Information Quality More Important?: The Moderating Effects of
Perceived Market Orientation and Shopping Value

Xina Yuan (Department of Marketing, School of Management, Xiamen
University, Xiamen, China), Kyounghee Chu (Division of Business, Chosun
University, Gwangju, South Korea), Shun Cai (Department of Management
Science, School of Management, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China)

One of the key elements that an electronic retailer (e-tailer) relies on
for converting website visitors to buyers is information quality
management. Previous studies recognized that information quality is a
significant predictor of the online consumers' trust, satisfaction with the
goods offered by the e-tailer, and most importantly, purchase intention.
However, the extant research has largely ignored the possibly contingent
effects of information quality on consumer's purchasing intention. By
integrating theories and prior research findings from the marketing and
e-commerce field, this article validates the direct effect of information
quality on consumer's purchasing intention. More importantly, the authors
propose that an e-tailer's market-oriented image (perceived market
orientation) and consumer's shopping value would have a moderating role on
the relationship between information quality and purchasing intention. A
survey was conducted to collect data to test the proposed research model.
The results generally support the authors' hypotheses. The practical and
theoretical contributions of the study are discussed.
