Bücher der Reihe Foundations and Trends (R) in Information Systems

Reviews the literature on personality and embodied physical action (EPA) robots. The book investigates the current state of human-robot personality research, discusses the unique role of personality in human-robot research, and offers guidance for future research.

Offers an overview of enterprise needs for speech analytics, a brief history of the speech recognition, the infrastructure of phonetic versus transcription approaches and real-time versus post-call solutions, major speech analytics vendors and their features, applications found within case studies, and recommendations and guidance.

Analyses and integrates various perspectives on the impact of e-business technologies on supply chain practices and performances. Relying on the resource-based view of the firm, the authors designed a comprehensive conceptual framework within which to examine the performance implications of e business technologies.

Focuses on specific aspects of the decision support systems (DSS) history by means of an empirical assessment of the DSS literature over three consecutive time periods: 1969-1990, 1991- 2005, and 2006-2012.

Presents a comprehensive review of the foundations, the trends, and the future challenges of IS success measurement in order to improve research and practice in terms of the measurement and evaluation of information systems. This book explores the foundations and trends in the definition and measurement of information systems success.

Addresses the dual-process approach to attitude formation as it has been applied to the domain of Information Systems. The book describes twenty six empirical research studies published in the IS literature that have been based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model or the Heuristic Systematic Model - variants of the dual-process approach.

Considers the expected benefits and limitations of anywhere working over the last 40 years and the extent to which the identified benefits and limitations may be the same or different in 2015. The book concludes with a long-term research agenda to develop a sustainable framework for anywhere working.

Provides a first step in providing empirical evidence and knowledge about the practical relevance of IS research. This monograph first develops a broad yet sufficiently fine-grained framework of IS research by integrating earlier frameworks. It then identifies all empirical IS research published from 2001 to 2015 in four top IS journals.

Examines an emergent category of personal analytics - enterprise personal analytics - that encompasses the concept of organisations enabling their employees to use their individual analytics to manage their digital working lives from descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive points of view.

Explores the history and adoption of qualitative and critical research in Information Systems and contrasts it with the growth of similar methods in Human Computer Interaction and Computer Supported Collaborative Work. The supposition behind the comparison was that the areas overlap in subject matter and would overlap in methods and authors.

Focuses on strategic planning processes which use structured conflict to aid in elicitating and exposing management's underlying assumptions and how to stimulate management to adopt a broader view of the planning problem. The objective is to examine whether structured conflict procedures are superior to expert or consensus-oriented procedures.

Reviews research on investment funding to extract and classify the factors that have traditionally impacted investment decisions, and to identify emerging investment issues. The result is a set of six factors, each of which has multiple dimensions and characteristics that are described.

Failure to learn from past mistakes and successes has consistently been a major obstacle to improving IT project management. IT Project Management: Lessons Learned from Project Retrospectives 1999-2020 addresses this shortcoming by integrating, updating, and extending the research findings from four previous studies on IT project retrospectives.

Presents findings from a review of the alignment and innovation literature streams published between 1990 and 2020. The authors summarize approaches, challenges, and opportunities, and reveal that alignment scholars tend to overlook the complexities inherent in the process of innovating and view innovation as a black box.

Promotes the use of process theory as an essential part of the body of knowledge relative to information systems which should be nurtured and expanded. The book addresses why process theory is important, how it can enhance the discipline, and what needs to be tackled to make the development and application of process theory routine.
