JITTA--Ten new articles
Editors Khalil Drira, Mike Metcalfe, and Rajiv Kishore have
produced 2 ˝ new issues for JITTA, with ten new articles that are
well worth browsing. They can be accessed free-of-charge at
http://jitta.org.
In Volume 3:2, edited by Drira, Lori Leonard and Timothy
Cronan add to the discussion about the next direction for electronic
commerce with a model for supply chain success. The model is distinct in
its definition of product, service, and infrastructure “levels” and
creates a platform that is worthy of consideration for future EC research
efforts.
Volume 3:3 is a special issue on the role of dialogue in IS development
edited by Metcalfe. This issue, which was introduced earlier with a lead
article by Ian Mitroff, is now complete with six new
papers. Neil Ramiller plays off Mitroff with a discussion
of the relationship between technological development and human needs.
The issue includes a very substantial two-part article by Werner
Ulrich in which he makes a very impressive effort to lay down a
philosophical foundation to information systems design, based on
dialogue. Heath Colebatch, Sam Horrocks, and Jeff Smith help
to bring a little realism to the IS table with an investigation about how
managers inform themselves. The results are a bit deflating to proponents
of a new era where systems replace human contact. The issue is
rounded out with articles by Philip Marriott about the use of
written versus oral dialogue and Dianne Watts about managers’
perspectives on the role of information systems.
Volume 3:5, edited by Kishore, contains an exploratory article by
Jaemin Han and Dooheum Han that proposes a new framework for
customer value in the context of Internet enabled business. It contains
two empirical articles, one by Claire Simmers and Murugan Anandarajan,
which studies Internet-induced job satisfaction among 3000 subjects,
and the other by Simha Magal, Ming Feng, and Patricia Essex, which
develops a framework for classifying applications in electronic commerce
and tests the framework with a study of Fortune 500 companies.
