The Rotting Apple

A rotting apple seldom causes trouble, Yet when I saw this one in my path, Beside the stream that runs through my father\u27s orchard, I stopped, and listened-Though I don\u27t know why..

Towards a Process Theory of IS Business Value Co-creation. Insights from enterprise systems adoption in an SME cluster

There is a growing emphasis on digital transformation in research and business practice. The creation of value from IS investments is a critical factor in digital transformation. It usually requires significant organizational transformation activities to realize the potential business value. Research has documented that the ability to realize IS value is a very challenging endeavor, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), who because of resource poverty are dependent on external input and cooperation with other companies. There is a general lack of research on how IS business value is co-created, particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises. This paper builds on the findings on value co-creation in a cluster of performing arts enterprises, to theorize about how co-creation among enterprises contribute to IS business value. The enterprises in the cluster engaged in a project to develop a collaborative approach towards strategic audience development utilizing CRM technology. The results expand our understanding of the dynamics related to co-creation. We find that co-creation can be an important avenue for SMEs to invest in IS and realize IS business value. We propose a modified IS business value framework to explain how networks of enterprises can co-create IS business value.

Sammenligningsstudie av læringsplattformer

Denne oppgaven omhandler sammenligning av digitale læringsplattformer. Grunnlaget for oppgaven var å utvikle to nettbaserte kurs for Utviklingssenter for sykehjem hjemmetjenester Agder. For å utvikle kursene ble det brukt KS Læring som læringsplattform. Problemstillingen i oppgaven er basert på funksjonaliteter til læringsplattformer. Hvordan KS Læring fungerer som en læringsplattform står sentralt i oppgaven. I tillegg blir det undersøkt om i hvilken grad læringsplattformer påvirker et nettbasert kurs. KS Læring, Canvas, Itslearning og iSpring er læringsplattformene som blir sammenlignet. For å sammenligne læringsplattformene ble det gjennomført brukertesting i form av spørreundersøkelser til kursene i KS Læring og praktisk testing av de forskjellige læringsplattformene. Brukertestingens mål er å støtte den praktiske testingen ved å få respons på forskjellige funksjonaliteter som KS Læring tilbyr. Utgangspunktet i KS Læring åpner for å sammenligne funksjonalitetene med de andre læringsplattformene for å løse problemstillingen. Teorien som blir lagt fram i oppgaven legger til rette for læringsteorier og viser til hvordan KS Læring og de andre læringsplattformene legger opp til dette
