The return on investment can be significant if the strategy<br>to implement social media technologies is well executed. When planning for<br>the social media platform that an organization will use, a global CIO must<br>always look to the future as these technologies are evolving very fast. Global<br>CIOs that ignore social media technologies do so at their own peril. The<br>author discusses a number of issues realted to the use of social media in<br>this timely and thought provoking editorial.<br><br>A CROSS CULTURAL COMPARISON OF THE EXTENDED TPB: THE CASE OF DIGITAL PIRACY<br><br>Sulaiman Al-Rafee, Kuwait University, sulaiman@cba.edu.kw<br><br>Ali E. Dashti, Kuwait University, ali.dahti@ku.edu.kw<br><br>This study examined a behavioral model in two different cultures (in the<br>U.S., and in the Middle East), within the context of digital piracy. The<br>model was extended by adding moral obligation as a factor influencing<br>intention to pirate digital media. The results show, that while the<br>overall model was significant in predicting the piracy behavior across the<br>two cultures, there were differences in the influence of the individual<br>variables. Subjective norm was only significant in the Middle East, and<br>moral obligation was highly significant in the U.S. sample. Attitude and<br>perceived behavioral control were found to be at least moderately<br>significant in both cultures.<br><br>A PROCESS MODEL OF GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION AND CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT:<br>LESSONS FROM THE TECHNOLOGY CLUSTER FORMATION IN HYDERABAD, INDIA<br><br>Ramiro Montealegre, University of Colorado, Boulder,<br>Ramiro.Montealegre@Colorado.edu<br><br>This study examines the path taken by the government of the Indian state of<br>Andhra Pradesh that recently established an information technology (IT)<br>cluster in Hyderabad, the capital city. The city went from virtually no<br>presence in IT to developing one of the world?s most vibrant IT clusters in<br>the world. A retrospective case study research was conducted guided by two<br>research questions: (1) how institutional actions influenced the capability<br>development that shaped the IT cluster formation in Hyderabad and (2) why<br>did it succeed despite the poor fit with its initial context? A process<br>model serves as the central contribution of this research.<br><br><br><br>ICT ADOPTION IN FACILITIES MANAGEMENT SUPPLY CHAIN: THE CASE OF DENMARK<br><br>Ada Scupola, Roskilde University, Denmark, Ada@ruc.dk<br><br>This is a qualitative study of factors impacting the adoption of ICT<br>solutions in the Danish facility management supply chain. There are a<br>number of drivers and barriers that influence the adoption of ICT solutions<br>in this service sector. These are grouped under three major categories:<br>organizational factors including strategic and operational factors;<br>external environmental factors including supplier interdependence and<br>industry characteristics; and technological factors including compatibility<br>and complexity. The study is relevant to researchers concerned with ICT<br>adoption, operations and service management (especially facilities<br>management) as well as operation managers and ICT managers.<br><br><br><br>THE EXPERT OPINION: AN INTERVIEW WITH SCOTT BENDLE, CIO, RIGAKU AMERICAS<br>CORPORATION<br><br>Conducted by Paul S.

Although many companies have discovered how critical information is to the success of their business or operations, very few have managed to be effective in maintaining their information secure, avoiding unauthorized access, preventing intrusions, stopping secret information disclosure, etc.<br><br> <br><br>There are various definitions of security, but all of them basically agree on the same components. Security in information systems considers the protection of information and of the systems that manage it, against a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize risks and maximize the return on investment and business opportunities.<br><br> <br><br>Security is, therefore, currently a widespread and growing concern that covers all areas of society: business, domestic, financial, government, and so on. In fact, the so-called information society is increasingly dependent on a wide range of software systems whose mission is critical, such as air traffic control systems, financial systems, or public health systems. The potential losses that are faced by businesses and organizations that rely on all these systems, both hardware and software, therefore signify that it is crucial for information systems to be properly secured from the outset.<br><br> <br><br>With the increasing dependence that the information society has on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the need to protect information is increasingly important for companies. The demand for products, systems and services with which to manage and maintain information is therefore increasing, and the realization of superficial security controls is not sufficient. It is necessary to apply a rigorous approach to the assessing and improvement of the security of products and processes that take place in the context of ICT. This has led to the emergence of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), which are of great importance to the stability of companies' information systems.<br><br> <br><br>In this new edition of WOSIS, the traditional information systems security topics will remain but we want explicitly focus the workshop on one of the most important issues and currently considered as it is security in Cloud computing. Although there are many benefits to adopting cloud computing, there are also some significant barriers to adoption as is security followed by issues regarding compliance, privacy and legal matters. Security is the main obstacle for many organizations in their move to the cloud, related to risk areas such as external data storage, dependency on the "public" internet, multi-tenancy and integration with internal security. The objective of this new edition is to contribute to the study and analysis of solutions and approaches which help to achieve and facilitate the level of security needed for such distributed environments and that its adoption is not any problem for the society, administration and enterprise.<br><br> <br><br>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br><br>Topic for Cloud Computing<br><br>* Security Engineering for Cloud-Based Systems<br>* Security Requirements Engineering for Cloud-Based Systems<br>* Risks and threats in Cloud<br>* Privacy and Data protection in Cloud<br>* Cloud Legal Issues<br>* Trust and policy management in Clouds<br>* Issues and recent approaches in portability, interoperability and migration<br>* Secure migration processes to cloud computing<br>* Security in migration models<br>* Systems adapted to the cloud<br>* Storage security<br>* Cloud Infrastructure Security<br>* Security Governance in the Cloud<br>* Risk management and assessment and third-party risk management<br>* Identity & Access Management in the Cloud<br>* Security and Virtualization<br>* Security in SaaS, PaaS and IaaS<br>* Security in Cloud applications<br>* Cloud security models<br>* MDA and MDS applied to cloud computing<br>* Case studies<br><br>Rest of topics<br><br>* Security in Software development Life Cycle <br>* Information Security Management System<br>* Security Management and Assessment<br>* Analysis and management of risks<br>* Security Implementation, Secure programming and Security Deployment <br>* Case studies and experiences of secure software <br>* Security culture<br>* IT Governance <br>* IT Service Continuity <br>* Language-based Security<br>* Open Security Standards and Security Certification<br>* Common practice, legal and regulatory issues<br>* Security for SOA, Web Services, Grid computing<br>* Security for Databases and Data Warehouses <br>* Metadata and Security <br>* Secure Data Management <br>* Workflow and Business Process Security <br>* Security Metrics and Measurement <br>* Security Ontologies<br>* Security in Software Product Lines<br>* Distributed and Network Security <br>* Security & Trust Models <br>* Authentication, Authorization and Access Control <br>* Anonymity and Privacy <br>* Security for Mobile Computing, sensors networks, multimedia systems<br>* Security for Electronic Commerce, Electronic Business and e-Services (e-voting, e-banking, e-governement, e-health)<br>* Security in Social Networks<br>* Security for embedded systems, smart cards and RFID<br>* Security Issues in Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing<br>* Intellectual Property Protection <br>* Digital Rights Management (DRM).

Studies in this<br>area have focused on social network analysis and more recently on social<br>media intelligence and networking data mining. However, current research is<br>not closely related to culture and organization issues, and do not fully<br>capture and understand the social and managerial impact of Web 2.0. The<br>guest editors bring attention to important concerns in this area and<br>introduce the contents of this special issue.<br><br><br><br>THE ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKS ON KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE: ONLINE SOCIAL IDENTITY,<br>SOCIAL TIE AND CULTURE ORIENTATION<br><br>Huilin Xiao, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, China,<br>xiaohl@swufe.edu.cn<br><br>Weifeng Li, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, China,<br>weifenglee@gmail.com<br><br>Xubin Cao, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, China,<br>cxb@swufe.edu.cn<br><br>Zongming Tang, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China, zmtang@sjtu.edu.cn<br><br>Uisng social exchange theory and social capital theory, this study develops<br>a theoretical model that predicts individual knowledge exchange behavior in<br>the virtual environment, where trust and outcome expectation mediate the<br>relationship between online social identity, online social tie, personal<br>culture orientation and the effect of knowledge exchange. The study<br>emphasizes the cross-culture effect which influences knowledge exchange in<br>the community. The model was tested empirically with users having<br>experience within the online community. Findings indicate that online<br>social attributes are key facilitators in knowledge exchange in virtual<br>communities.<br><br><br><br>UNDERSTANDING USER BEHAVIOR AT SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES: A RELATIONAL<br>CAPITAL PERSPECTIVE<br><br>Rui Chen, Ball State University, rchen3@bsu.edu<br><br>Sushil Sharma, Ball State University, ssharma@bsu.edu<br><br>The authors examine member engagements on social networking sites.<br>Engagements such as site use and self-disclosure lead to the growth of<br>social relationships, increased site traffic, customized services, and an<br>accumulation of user generated contents; hence they are imperative to the<br>long-term success of networking sites. Drawing on Social Capital Theory<br>(SCT), a model is developed that examines the role of relational capitals<br>in predicting member behavior. It also investigates the relationship<br>between site use and self-disclosure behavior. The model was validated<br>through survey data collected from social networking site users in the U.S.<br>and the analysis results provided mixed support to the hypothesized<br>relationships. The study adds to the literature on social networking sites<br>and SCT; it also provides new perspectives on site management for<br>networking service providers.<br><br><br><br>CUSTOMER INTERACTIONS IN VIRTUAL BRAND COMMUNITIES: EVIDENCE FROM CHINA<br><br>Yonggui Wang, University of International Business and Economics, China,<br>ygwang@uibe.edu.cn<br><br>Jianjun Shi, University of International Business and Economics, China,<br>shijj@uibe.edu.cn<br><br>Shuang Ma, University of International Business and Economics, China,<br>mashuang3a@163.com<br><br>Guicheng Shi, Macau University of Science and Technology, China,<br>gcshi@must.edu.mo<br><br>Lili Yan, University of International Business and Economics, China,<br>yanlili@fltrp.com<br><br>Customer interactions in virtual brand communities (VBCs) have become a<br>significant approach in value co-creation.

Soper, Haluk Demirkan, Michael Goul, and Robert St. Louis<br><br>Abstract<br>The macro-level impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) investments on institutionalized democracy and foreign direct investment (FDI) levels in emerging societies are examined within a multi-theoretic framework that considers societal structure, power, and globalization-driven societal change. Using multilevel change modeling and longitudinal data from 48 emerging societies across seven years, ICT investments are observed to produce positive direct impacts on future levels of institutionalized democracy and FDI. After controlling for several covariates, the direct impact of ICT investments on future levels of institutionalized democracy in emerging societies is shown to partially explain the observed relationship between ICT investments and future FDI in those societies. The implications of these results are discussed in light of an emerging and exemplary World Bank debate over the historical search for a simple recipe for emerging society development and !<br> the need for a new way of thinking represented by what has been referred to as "new structural economics".<br><br>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below:<br>http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/vol13/iss3/3/<br><br>PAPER TWO<br>IT and Firm Agility: An Electronic Integration Perspective<br>By Salman Nazir and Alain Pinsonneault<br><br>Abstract<br>Firms evolving in increasingly turbulent environments need to respond to market threats and opportunities with speed. At the same time, firms implement numerous information technologies (IT) in the hope of streamlining processes and providing managers with unfettered access to information from both within and outside the firm. While research shows how agility and IT contribute to firm performance, the relationship between these two constructs remains relatively unexplored. Using an electronic integration perspective, we develop a framework that addresses this issue. The framework suggests that IT applications affect the two components of agility (sensing and responding) through two types of integration (internal and external). The framework also explains the mediating roles of knowledge exploration, knowledge exploitation, and process coupling. Four propositions are developed and illustrated with different examples. Avenues for future research are developed.<br><br>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below:<br>http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/vol13/iss3/2/<br><br>PAPER THREE<br>A Mixed Methods Approach to Technology Acceptance Research<br>By Philip Fei Wu<br><br>Abstract<br>The aim of this paper is to discuss the significance and potential of a mixed methods approach in technology acceptance research. After critically reviewing the dominance of the quantitative survey method in TAM-based research, this paper reports a mixed methods study of user acceptance of emergency alert technology in order to illustrate the benefits of combining qualitative and quantitative techniques in a single study. The main conclusion is that a mixed methods approach provides opportunities to move beyond the vague conceptualizations of "usefulness" and "ease of use" and to advance our understanding of user acceptance of technology in context.<br><br>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below:<br>http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/vol13/iss3/1/<br><br><br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://lists.aisnet.org/pipermail/aisworld_lists.aisnet.org/attachments/20120329/9820a8f9/attachment-0001.html><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 7<br>Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:19:06 +1100<br>From: "Gregor, Shirley" <Shirley.Gregor@anu.edu.au><br>To: <aisworld@lists.aisnet.org><br>Subject: [AISWorld] JAIS Theory & Writing Workshop ECIS, 2-5pm 10<br> June<br>Message-ID:<br> <23177F380EF969428D912A1D602776E9011CFAB3@markka7.fec.anu.edu.au><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>Journal of the Association for Information Systems<br><br>Theory and Writing Workshop<br><br>Associated with the 20th European Conference on Information Systems <br>(ECIS 2012)<br><br>Date and Venue<br>Sunday, 10 June, 2012, 2-5pm<br>ESADE Building 1, Barcelona, Spain. <br><br>About JAIS<br>The Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) is the<br>flagship journal of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) and<br>publishes scholarly contributions that represent the highest quality in<br>the field in the field of information systems.

The complexity<br>of enterprise systems, the increasing needs for advanced collaboration<br>between various systems within one institution or among many collaborating<br>parties and the velocity of organizational, policy, structural and market<br>changes strongly call for immediate mobilization of the research community<br>to develop more flexible and reliable technologies for the advancement of<br>enterprise systems.<br><br>Trying to respond to this urgent research need, the VORTE series of<br>workshops has been established in order to bring together researchers and<br>practitioners that are looking into the topics of ontologies and rules in<br>enterprise system development from different yet complementary<br>perspectives. The major objective is to provide a research forum for<br>exchanging ideas and results covering the use of ontologies and rules in<br>various stages of the lifecycle of enterprise systems.<br><br>Examples of topics covered by VORTE research contributions include the<br>development and adaptation of foundational, business and domain ontologies<br>for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in all aspects of<br>enterprise modelling such as business process management and services, the<br>enhancement of rules and services with formal semantics, and the evaluation<br>of such systems and approaches. The workshop is also a forum for the<br>discussion of ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability<br>issues and ontology engineering issues, and covers various application<br>domains relevant for organizations (such as e-government and e-commerce).<br>The workshop also welcomes contributions on open linked data initiatives<br>for the enterprise and empirical studies on the use of ontologies and rules<br>in the enterprise system development lifecycle.<br><br>TOPICS<br><br>Vocabularies and Ontologies for the enterprise:<br><br>- Ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities,<br>design, processes;<br><br>- Ontologies for the know-how;<br><br>- Ontologies for corporate knowledge;<br><br>- Upper-level ontologies in the enterprise;<br><br>Knowledge management:<br><br>- Ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management and<br>integration;<br><br>- Adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations;<br><br>- Ontology engineering, learning and maintenance within organizations;<br><br>- Ontology integration and alignment within organizations;<br><br>- Ontology effectiveness and evaluation in organizations;<br><br>Conceptual and Enterprise Modeling:<br><br>- Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Meta-modeling<br><br>- Ontology Design and maintenance for Conceptual Model Integration;<br><br>- Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling Tools and Environments<br><br>- Ontologies and Enterprise Architecture Modeling<br><br>- Ontologies and Business Process Modeling<br><br>- Ontologies and Goal-Based Modeling<br><br>- Ontologies and Business Rules<br><br>Enterprise Semantic Interoperability:<br><br>- Web services, Semantic services<br><br>- Composition and Modularity<br><br>- Merging, Mapping and Alignment<br><br>- Ontology Language Interoperability<br><br>- Open linked data publishing and exploitation<br><br>Problems and case studies in ontology application:<br><br>- Practical issues in using ontologies in enterprises<br><br>- Real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business<br><br>- From legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems<br><br>SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION<br><br>We solicit two types of papers:<br><br>- Short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or<br>describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully<br>developed; and<br><br>- Full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results<br><br>All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer<br>Society conference proceedings (<br>http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the<br>author's name, affiliation, and contact details.<br><br>Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at<br>http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2012<br><br>All papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere.<br><br>The papers accepted for the EDOC 2012 Workshops will be published after the<br>workshop with an ISBN in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

One of the key<br>challenges and subject of continuous debate focuses on how to achieve,<br>measure, increase and manage information and the value it creates to<br>organisations. It has been concern to researchers and management for many<br>years and the difficulty in measuring less tangible benefits has been<br>emphasized.<br><br>Information creates not only value in financial terms but also in terms of<br>operational and strategic advantages. Thus exploring the value of<br>information and its management is crucial to the success of world-leading<br>organizations. The value of information can be determined by its<br>importance to and the impact information has on the business operations<br>such as decision making, strategy development or optimizing supply chains.<br>However, the issue of how to manage the value of information is still<br>challenging and research so far could only address limited aspects. It has<br>been argued that if information result in enhanced business value, the<br>focus needs to shift from project based cost/benefit analysis to managing<br>the overall value creation of information. Furthermore, over the last<br>decade a move from solely technical aspects to a combination of multiple<br>contextual factors such as technology, sector, organizational culture, and<br>management style can be observed.<br><br>With this workshop we aim to go beyond traditional IT productivity and<br>cost evaluations; we view information as a crucial asset that creates<br>value to an organizations, and thus needs to be managed accordingly for<br>optimal business value. In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform for<br>discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience<br>reports addressing a broad range of issues related to Information Value<br>Management. Research challenges include how to determine the Value of<br>Information and its impact on business performance, managing Data and<br>Information Quality, capturing and maintaining Information Assets, and<br>designing and improving Information Manufacture System.<br><br>Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based<br>on case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science as<br>well as experimental and simulation. In addition practical oriented<br>research and experience reports are encouraged.<br><br><br>Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list:<br>==================<br> Determining Information Value<br> Data and Information Quality<br> Specifying and Measuring the Benefits from Information<br> Information Value Chains<br> Information Manufacture and Information Product<br> Optimising Information Value<br> Information Lifecycle Concepts<br> Modelling and Visualising Information Manufacturing Systems<br> Information Risk Management<br> Data Integration and Value Creation<br> Analytical IS and Value Creation<br> IVM Maturity Models<br> IVM Capabilities<br> IT Governance and IVM<br> Management Approaches for IVM<br> Change Management and IVM<br><br><br>Paper submissions<br>=================<br>Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics<br>listed above.
