EDITOR'S COMMENTS: Research in Information Systems: What We Haven't
Learned, Allen S. Lee
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEWS
RESEARCH ARTICLE 1
Web-Based Virtual Learning Environments: A Research Framework and a
Preliminary Assessment of Effectiveness in Basic IT Skills Training,
Gabriele Piccoli, Rami Ahmad, and Blake Ives
Internet technologies are having a significant impact on the learning
industry. For-profit organizations and traditional institutions of
higher education have developed and are using web-based courses, but
little is known about their effective-ness compared to traditional
classroom education. Our work focuses on the effectiveness of a web-based
virtual learning environment (VLE) in the context of basic information
technology skills training.
This article provides three main contributions. First, it introduces and
defines the concept of VLE, discussing how a VLE differs from the
traditional classroom and differentiating it from the related, but
narrower, concept of computer aided instruction (CAI). Second, it
presents a framework of VLE effectiveness, grounded in the
technology-mediated learning literature, which frames the VLE research
domain, and addresses the relationship between the main constructs.
Finally, it focuses on one essential VLE design variable, learner control,
and compares a web-based VLE to a traditional classroom through a
longitudinal experimental design.
Our results indicate that, in the context of IT basic skills training in
undergraduate education, there are no significant differences in
performance between students enrolled in the two environments. However,
the VLE leads to higher re-ported computer self-efficacy, while
participants report being less satisfied with the learning process.
RESEARCH ARTICLE 2
The Role of Aggregation in the Measurement of IT-Related Organizational
Innovation, Robert G. Fichman
The extent of organizational innovation with information technology, an
important construct in the IT innovation literature, has been measured in
many different ways. Some measures have a narrow focus while others
aggregate innovative behaviors across a set of innovations or stages in the
assimilation life-cycle. There appear to be some significant tradeoffs
involving aggregation: more aggregated measures can be more robust and
generalizable and can promote stronger predictive validity, while less
aggregated measures allow more context-specific investigations and can
preserve clearer theoretical interpretations. This article begins with a
conceptual analysis that identifies the circumstances when these tradeoffs
are most likely to favor aggregated measures. It is found that aggregation
should be favorable when: (1) the researcher's interest is in general
innovation or a model that generalizes to a class of innovations, (2)
antecedents have effects in the same direction in all assimilation stages,
(3) characteristics of organizations can be treated as constant across
the innovations in the study, (4) characteristics of innovations can not be
treated as constant across organizations in the study, (5) the set of
innovations being aggregated includes substitutes or moderate complements,
and (6) sources of noise in the measurement of innovation may be present.
The article then presents an empirical study using data on the adoption of
software process technologies by 608 U.S. based corporations. This
study?which had circumstances quite favorable to aggregation? found that
aggregating across three innovations within a technology class more than
doubled the variance explained compared to single innovation models.
Aggregating across assimilation stages also had a slight positive effect on
predictive validity. Taken together, these results provide initial
confirmation of the conclusions from the conceptual analysis regarding the
circumstances favoring aggregation.
RESEARCH NOTE 1
Revolution or Evolution: A Comparison of Object-Oriented and Structured
Systems Development Methods, Sumit Sircar, Sridhar P. Nerur, and Radhakanta
Mahapatra
This paper examines the changes engendered when moving from a structured to
an object-oriented systems development approach and reconciles the
differing views concerning whether this represents an evolutionary or
revolutionary change. Author co-citation analysis is used to elucidate the
ideational and conceptual relationships between the two approaches. The
difference in conceptual distance at the analysis and design level
compared to that at the programming level is explained using Henderson's
framework for organizational change. The conceptual shift during analysis
and design is considered architectural, whereas for programming it is
deemed merely incremental. The managerial implications of these findings
are discussed and suggestions for improving the likelihood of success in
the adoption of object-oriented systems development methods are provided.

Outline:
A large number of companies, organizations, and customers are exploiting the
opportunities
offered by Internet-based electronic commerce solutions and many more are
expected to follow.
Companies have put their databases and product catalogues on the Web, search
engines allow
electronic market participants around the globe to locate potential trading
partners, and a
set of different protocols are established to exchange goods and services by
using different
business models and following different strategies. There is a diagnostic
need for effective
tools for information consumers, who must be able to easily locate in the
Web interested
information from unstructured documents and pictures to structured, record
oriented data.
The effective and efficient access to the Web information has become a
critical research
area. This has led to the development of new e-commerce tools and
technology, Web data
models and query languages, Web site management system, auction and
negotiation systems, etc.
The management of Web data is receiving a new set of challenges with the
advent of XML and
other standards. The main objective of this conference is to bring together
researchers from
different disciplines, developers, and users all interested in electronic
commerce and
Web technologies and to assess current methodologies and new research
directions. Although
a natural focus will be on computer science issues, we expressly welcome
technical research
contributions from economics, business, law, and other relevant disciplines.
EC-WEB 2002 is organized by the DEXA Association in parallel with DEXA 02
(13th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications)
and DaWaK 02

Subject: Final Call for Papers: Special Issue of Journal of Electronic Commerce Research
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 10:18:37 +0800
From: "Patrick Y.K. CHAU" <pchau(a)BUSINESS.HKU.HK>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Journal of Electronic Commerce Research on
Cultural Aspects of E-Commerce
Deadline for Submission: 15 February 2002
http://www.business.hku.hk/~pchau/special_issue/jecr.htm
Overview
Use of the Internet allows organizations to compete in a global virtual
market-space. Consumers from different cultures may considerably differ in
perceptions, beliefs, selection, and actual participating and use of
Internet-based electronic commerce (e-commerce). To compete in this global
market-space, companies need to understand and thus leverage subtle but
important cultural differences exhibited by individuals. Culture is a
relevant and critical dimension of e-commerce that must extend above and
beyond obvious language differences. Does the purpose or function provided
by an Internet-based business application remain consistent across
cultural boundaries? Does culture, in effect, matter at all in the world
of e-commerce? Answers to these and other culture-related questions may
offer useful insights to companies that simultaneously operate the
multi-cultural market-space that span across political and geographic
boundaries.
Purpose of the Special Issue
The purpose of this special issue is to encourage discussion and
communication of important cultural aspects of e-commerce and to showcase
some interesting and significant research work in this critical area.
Specifically, the issue proposes to compile a succinct body of research
efforts that examine various cultural issues in e-commerce, thereby
advancing our understanding of an important e-commerce dimension while at
the same time providing a point of departure for continued investigative
efforts. Of particular relevance to the described focus are information
systems, human-computer interaction, Web design, decision support and
consumer behaviors, and cultural and cross-cultural research. The issue,
however, will not be restricted to these topics; rather, it welcomes
reports of theoretical or empirical research that examines pertinent
cultural issues in e-commerce.
Submission of Manuscripts
All submissions must be in English, should represent original work done by
the authors, and must NOT have been published, accepted for publication,
or be presently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts
should be prepared according to the submission guidelines of Journal of
Electronic Commerce Research (JECR). Reviews of the submitted manuscripts
will proceed in accordance with JECRs editorial policy. Submissions should
be by electronic transmission ONLY (using a Word file attachment) and must
be sent to both guest editors.
