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 setting of railway station waiting room and waiting zones
relates to
passengers' feeling and satisfaction. In this article, the authors
develop
an optimization model for railway station waiting room assignment,
as well
as considering adjustment of platforms. With four types of
improvement
strategies: zone optimization, room optimization, time
optimization and
interactive priority policy, this optimal model aims to
effectively and
efficiently improve the railway service quality and security.

The Role of Functional Diversity, Collective Team Identification,
and Task
Cohesion in Influencing Innovation Speed: Evidence From Software
Development Teams

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.

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.
