The Global Digital Divide: Evidence and Drivers
Frederico Cruz-Jesus (NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS), Lisbon, Portugal), Tiago Oliveira (NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS), Lisbon, Portugal), Fernando Bacao (NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS), Lisbon, Portugal)
This article presents an analysis of the global digital divide, based on data collected from 45 countries, including the ones belonging to the European Union, OECD, Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC). The analysis shows that one factor can explain a large part of the variation in the seven ICT variables used to measure the digital development of countries. This measure is then used with additional variables, which are hypothesised as drivers of the divide for a regression analysis using data from 2015, 2013, and 2011, which reveals economic and educational imbalances between countries, along with some aspects of geography, as drivers of the digital divide. Contrary to the authors' expectations, the English language is not a driver.

Building Initial Trust in an Intermediary in B2C Online Marketplaces: The Korean Evidence From Interpark.com
Ilyoo Barry Hong (College of Business and Economics, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, South Korea)
The author develops and test a consumer trust model for building first-time buyer's trust in an intermediary in Korean online marketplaces. Data was collected via a questionnaire survey using 218 respondents. Results from an empirical analysis indicate that while all the three factors of trustworthiness were found to be a predictor of overall initial trust in the intermediary, ‘integrity' turned out to have the strongest association with overall trust. The author's findings suggest that trustworthiness beliefs and trust are conceptually distinct from each other and that the former is a predictor of the latter. The article offers implications for both academics and practitioners of online marketplaces.

A Three Country Study for Understanding Physicians' Engagement With Electronic Information Resources Pre and Post System Implementation
Virginia Ilie (School of Management, California Lutheran University, Thousand Oaks, USA), Sweta Sneha (Coles College of Business, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, USA)
Deriving the benefits of electronic information resources as provided by electronic medical record systems (EMR) on a global scale is critically dependent on physicians' adoption and continued use of such resources. Yet, there is little known about the factors that motivate physicians to adopt and continue to use electronic information resources. The purpose of this article is to investigate the motivational factors leading to adoption and usage of electronic information resources in diverse regions of the world including developing countries (India and Egypt) and developed countries (the US). Based on the socio-cognitive theory and the decomposed theory of planned behavior, the authors surveyed 314 physicians in three countries in order to assess their engagement with electronic information resources. Data was analyzed via PLS for direct and indirect effects of socio-cognitive constructs and their impact on electronic information resources' use intentions. The authors' results suggest there are similarities as well as differences in factors impacting adoption and usage of electronic information resources pre and post EMR implementation in both developing and developed countries. They found that physicians' perceptions of effort expectations, technological infrastructure and support, and computer self-efficacy were the strongest direct drivers influencing intentions to use electronic information resources both in pre and post-EMR implementations in all three countries that were studied. However, a richer set of factors contributed to physicians' intentions to continue to use electronic information resources, post-EMR, in developed countries as compared to pre-EMR in developing countries. Social influences had a strong indirect effects, influencing physicians' perceptions of effort expectations post-EMR as well as perceptions of performance expectations pre-EMR implementation. Computer self-efficacy was a significant predictor of effort expectations of an electronic information resource both pre and post-EMR implementation while compatibility with physicians' practices significantly influenced performance expectations in both pre and post EMR implementations in all three countries studied. The authors' study provides important theoretical and practical implications for successful management and implementation of electronic information resources such that they are adopted and used in the healthcare environment.

CIO Competencies From the IT Professional Perspective: Insights From Brazil
Luiz Antonio Joia (Brazilian School of Public & Business Administration at Getulio Vargas Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), José Carlos P. Correia (Getulio Vargas Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
The position of Chief Information Officer (CIO) has become increasingly important in companies. However, it can be perceived that this professional, whose functions are increasingly complex, realizes that his/her core competencies are not always sufficient to tackle the daily professional routine centered around the constant transformations the business arena has witnessed. Thus, by using Social Representation Theory operationalized by the Words Evocation Technique, this article sets out to investigate what the Brazilian IT professional perceptions about the CIO core competencies are, in order to compare them with the Brazilian CIO perceptions about his/her own competencies. The work concludes that in Brazil there is strong cognitive dissonance between those perceptions, as only the “capacity to influence the organization” and “technical expertise” competencies are perceived as being essential competencies for CIOs both by IT professionals and CIOs themselves. Lastly, the article highlights some managerial implications accrued from the results obtained.

Methodological Research for Modular Neural Networks Based on “an Expert With Other Capabilities”
Pan Wang (Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China), Jiasen Wang (Hithink RoyalFlush Information Network Co., Ltd., Hangzhou, China), Jian Zhang (Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China)
This article contains a new subnet training method for modular neural networks, proposed with the inspiration of the principle of “an expert with other capabilities”. The key point of this method is that a subnet learns the neighbor data sets while fulfilling its main task: learning the objective data set. Additionally, a relative distance measure is proposed to replace the absolute distance measure used in the classical subnet learning method and its advantage in the general case is theoretically discussed. Both methodology and empirical study of this new method are presented. Two types of experiments respectively related with the approximation problem and the prediction problem in nonlinear dynamic systems are designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared with the classical subnet learning method, the average testing error of the proposed method is dramatically decreased and more stable. The superiority of the relative distance measure is also corroborated.

The Theory and Practice of IT Governance Maturity and Strategies Alignment: Evidence From Banking Industry
Mojtaba Rees Safari (Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai, China), Qingquan Jiang (Xiamen University of Technology, Xiamen, China)
Information technology (IT) is considered as a major and strategic part in development of banks business, and banks using IT as a competitive advantage. Nowadays IT governance is as a constituent part of governance in banks. Key role of information and communication technology (ICT) in bank growth and development is obvious to top managers, but what needs to be considered carefully is the alignment of business strategies with IT strategies. This article intends to investigate the significant differences of IT governance maturity among the Iranian Banking Industry (publicly-owned and privately-owned). To achieve these implications, an IT governance framework and COBIT 4.1 were employed, using data from 17 large publicly-owned and privately-owned banks. The results indicate that privately-owned banks have a higher maturity rank in alignment of business strategies with IT strategies compared to publicly-owned banks.

The Role of Functional Diversity, Collective Team Identification, and Task Cohesion in Influencing Innovation Speed: Evidence From Software Development Teams
Jin Chen (School of Business, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, China), Wei Yang Lim (Deston Precision Engineering Pte Ltd, Singapore), Bernard C.Y. Tan (Department of Information Systems and Analytics, National University of Singapore, Singapore), Hong Ling (Department of Information Management and Information Systems, Fudan University, Shanghai, China)
This article opens up the black box of innovation and examines the relationship between functional diversity in software teams and the often neglected dimension of innovation – speed, over the two phases of innovation: creativity and idea implementation. By combining information processing view and social identity theory, the authors hypothesize that when collective team identification is low, functional diversity positively affects the time spent in the creativity phase; however, when collective team identification is high, this relationship is inverted U-shaped. When task cohesion is high, functional diversity negatively affects the time spent in the idea implementation phase; however, when task cohesion is low, this relationship is U-shaped. Results from 96 IT software-teams confirmed the authors' hypotheses. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Martínez-López (Deptartment Business Administration, University of Granada, Granada, Spain & EAE Business School, Barcelona, Spain), Ling Li (Strome College of Business, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, USA)
The Mobile Internet Information Technology (MIIT) has been widely accepted as one of the most promising technologies in the next decades, having various applications and different value positions. However, few published studies explore and examine the effects of MIIT on community management. Based on the Dramaturgical Theory, this article uses a case study method to get an insightful understanding of MIIT. This article found that the MIIT was used by grid organizations to realize technological innovation and change organizational routines and structures, but eventually it was shaped by them, so this new technology was only able to embed itself into the public service model as a secondary or complementary role.

When Is Information Quality More Important?: The Moderating Effects of Perceived Market Orientation and Shopping Value
Xina Yuan (Department of Marketing, School of Management, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China), Kyounghee Chu (Division of Business, Chosun University, Gwangju, South Korea), Shun Cai (Department of Management Science, School of Management, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China)
One of the key elements that an electronic retailer (e-tailer) relies on for converting website visitors to buyers is information quality management. Previous studies recognized that information quality is a significant predictor of the online consumers' trust, satisfaction with the goods offered by the e-tailer, and most importantly, purchase intention. However, the extant research has largely ignored the possibly contingent effects of information quality on consumer's purchasing intention. By integrating theories and prior research findings from the marketing and e-commerce field, this article validates the direct effect of information quality on consumer's purchasing intention. More importantly, the authors propose that an e-tailer's market-oriented image (perceived market orientation) and consumer's shopping value would have a moderating role on the relationship between information quality and purchasing intention. A survey was conducted to collect data to test the proposed research model. The results generally support the authors' hypotheses. The practical and theoretical contributions of the study are discussed.
