Call For papers for a Special issue on: " Personal Beliefs and IT/IS Development" for International Journal of Information Systems and Change Management IJISCM)
Guest Editor : Dr. Purnendu Mandal, Lamar University, Texas, USA
No doubt, large IT/IS such as Supply Chain Systems have been a proven operations strategy to improve business effectiveness, particularly in developed economies. Many researchers have illustrated the impact of supply chain strategy on organizational performance with examples of actual input-output data. For businesses in developing countries, however, the scenario is not that rosy. The spread of supply chain and its effectiveness in operations at best has been moderate. Technologies such as ERP and RFID play a major role in supply chain integration and management. It could be that the personal belief factors such as religious values, democratic values, attitude towards science, attitude towards competition, etc play a significant role in the technology adoption in developing countries. And this aspect of people’s belief and perception influence the development and implementation of supply chain systems or other large IT/IS in organizations.
As decision makers in charge of IT/IS implementation (and workers) are motivated and guided by their personal beliefs, it is most likely that the business managers will behave differently in developing and developed countries. This special issue tries to contrast behavioral aspects among IT/IS specialists and users in developed and developing countries.
