When 1+1 is Greater than 2: Concurrence of Additional Digital and Established Business Models within Companies

Many established companies currently face digitalization challenges. Part of their answer is often the creation of new digital business models based on new technologies, which do not necessarily replace the existing business model but act as additional source of economic value. Having two business models in parallel in the same company creates the opportunity of synergies between these business models. However, knowledge about the interaction between digital and non-digital business models remains scarce. This study, currently in progress, contributes to research by filling this gap and identifying synergies already taken by companies of various industries, leading to a better understanding of digital business models within established companies and their interaction with existing, traditional business models. For practitioners this study provides insights on how-to benefit from parallel business models within a company and thus how to better face digitalization

The Role of Human Resource Information System on staff retention management

It is important to retain Quality employees in the organization, and there is limited empirical research regarding the application of Quality Human Resource Information Systems in staff retention management. This paper covers the application of quality HRIS (e.g. Recruitment Information, and Personnel Information) in staff retention management in the hospitality industry by adoption of institutional theory and job characteristics theory. The focus of this research is on the activities of the organization at the early stage of recruitment and selection levels. Adoption of institutional theory provides a perspective to internal and external staff turnover factors (e.g. remuneration, training quality, and lack of growth opportunities) prior to recruiting an employee to the organization. This research will be conducted at a well-known company in the hospitality industry

On the Legitimacy of IS as an Independent Discipline: Research that Sets the Field Apart

Motivated by the continuing anxiety discourse within the IS field and the continuing disrespect IS researchers earn from scholars of other management disciplines, this essay discusses six areas in which IS researchers make unique knowledge contributions to management scholarship. More specifically, this essay suggests that information systems development, information systems adoption, organizational information systems innovation, group level resistance to IT implementations, the business value of IT, and Knowledge Management, among others, are all areas in which IS scholars can claim to contribute uniquely to the management body of knowledge. In so doing, this essay provides six robust arguments for IS scholars to concisely justify their field and research – and to be positive about the work they are doing. Perhaps even more importantly, this essay may motivate IS scholars to allocate their resources to topics that help increase the field’s legitimacy
