Enterprise Content Management - A Literature Review

Managing information and content on an enterprise-wide scale is challenging. Enterprise content management (ECM) can be considered as an integrated approach to information management. While this concept received much attention from practitioners, ECM research is still an emerging field of IS research. Most authors that deal with ECM claim that there is little scholarly literature available. After approximately one decade of ECM research, this paper provides an in-depth review of the body of academic research: the ECM domain, its evolution, and main topics are characterized. An established ECM research framework is adopted, refined, and explained with its associated elements and working definitions. On this basis, 68 articles are reviewed, classified, and concepts are derived. Prior research is synthesized and findings are integrated in a concept-centric way. Further, implications for research and practice, including future trends, are drawn

Learning Education: An ‘Educational Big Data’ approach for monitoring, steering and assessment of the process of continuous improvement of education

Changing regulations, pedagogy and didactics worldwide, have ensured that the educational system has changed severely. But the entrance of Web 2.0 and other technologies had a significant impact on the way we educate and assess our education too. The Web 2.0 applications also increase the cooperation between stakeholders in education and has led to the phenomenon ‘Learning Education’. Learning Education is a term we use for the phenomenon where educational stakeholders (i.e. teachers, students, policy-makers, partners etc.) can learn from each other in order to ultimately improve education. The developments within the Interactive Internet (Web 2.0) enabled the development of innovative and sophisticated strategies for monitoring, steering and assessing the ‘learning of education’. These developments give teachers possibilities to enhance their education with digital applications, but also to monitor, steer and assess their own behavior. This process can be done with multiple sources, for example questionnaires, interviews, panel research, but also the more innovative sources like big social data and network interactions. In this article we use the term ‘educational big data’ for these sources and use it for monitoring, steering and assessing the developments within education, according to the Plan, Do, Check, Act principle (PDCA). We specifically analyze the Check-phase and describe it with the Learning Education Check Framework (LECF). We operationalize the LECF with a Learning Education Check System (LECS), which is capable to guide itself and change those directions as well in response to changing ways and trends in education and their practices. The system supports the data-driven decision making process within the learning education processes. So, in this article we work on the LECF and propose and describe a paper-based concept of the – by educational big data driven – LECS. Besides that, we show the possibilities, reliability and validity for measuring the ‘Educational Big Data’ within an educational setting

Literature Review on Blockchain with focus on Supply Chain

In order to understand the applicability of Blockchain technology to Supply Chain, this paper reviews the available literature published within the AISNET’s basket of eight journals on the topic Blockchain and a list of selected top IS conferences. One observation in the results is that authors have been giving more importance to areas related to either fintech or cryptocurrencies. Nevertheless, other applications of blockchain technologies are being approached by these authors. Since the area of focus of this paper relates to Supply Chain, the refinement process of the results, consisted on filtering out those observations. Hence the approach consists on the research and review of all available publications with the utilization of a unique interpretation framework and focus on the avenues of research provided by these articles. Gathering information in order to create discussion debates, grouped by the unit of analysis identified, within Supply Chain

Monitoring Collective Intelligence in Lithuania’s Online Communities

This paper presents the findings of a systematic survey that evaluated the potential of online communities (or Civic Tech) in Lithuania to co-create collective intelligence. Traditional approaches to public engagement remain relevant, notwithstanding, our enquiry is more interested in the growing potential of digital-enabled citizens to increase efficient collective performance. Civic intelligence is a form of collective intelligence exercised by a group’s capacity to perceive societal problems and its ability to address them effectively. The subject of the research is “bottom up” digital-enabled online platforms initiated by Lithuanian public organizations, civic movements and/or business entities. This scientific project advances our understanding about the basic preconditions in online communities through which collective intelligence is being systematically co-created. By monitoring the performance of Civic Tech platforms, the scientific question was examined, what are the socio-technological conditions that led the communities to become more intelligent. The results of web-based monitoring were obtained by applying Collective intelligence Monitoring technique and Pearson correlation analysis. This provided information about the potential and limits of online communities, and what changes may be needed to overcome such limitations

Addiction to Social Network Site Use: An Information Technology Identity Perspective

As the popularity of social network sites (SNSs) has grown substantially over the past years, several negative effects of using SNSs have been experienced by users and reported by Information Systems (IS) researchers. Addiction to SNSs is one of such negative experiences, which has widely been considered from a psychopathology perspective. While increasingly there is more studies in IS on this phenomenon, it is still unclear what characterises addiction to SNSs and what may influence it. This in-progress study adopts an information technology (IT) identity perspective and applies Dual Systems Theory as well as Protection Motivation Theory to provide an initial understanding of what impacts SNS addiction and how to combat it from an IT/SNS identity perspective. To achieve these objectives, we reviewed the literature and proposed a preliminary framework of addiction to SNSs use. We then offer discuss research implications and propose ideas for future studie
