The aim of this article was to provide evidence pertaining cloud computing (CC) adoption in education, namely higher education institutions (HEIs) or Universities. A systematic literature review (SLR) empirical studies exploring the current CC levels HEIs and benefits challenges for using performed. total 20 papers were included SLR. It discovered that a number universities have keen interest their institution, indicates high level successful reviewed In conclusion, SLR identified clear gap...

This paper presents a study of major, multinational program Enterprise Systems (ES) implementation. The case subject is hi-tech manufacturer. focuses on the issue user participation. investigation inquires into fact that implementation method espoused participation even though outcome project was already known. (Regardless input, ES would be deployed). reports deployed to serve interests manager in reporting local circumstances as moved across different sites. framework for this inquiry...

Construction management as an academic discipline appears to be developing in evolutionary way based on developments practice which appear largely unaffected by mainstream theories. There little two-way flow construction thought between theory and practice. is increasing range of customer-oriented theories emerging within the finding acceptance application other domains both from a theoretical practical standpoint. Their delayed. This short note argues generally for wider adoption...

Abstract Purpose – To provide a view of Rob Kling's contribution to socio‐technical studies work. Design/methodology/approach The five "big ideas" discussed are signature themes in own work the informatics domain, and his intellectual legacy. Findings This paper conveys something presence social (SI) thinking by focusing on number "big" ideas "multiple points view", "social choices", "the production lattice" (and its corollary, problematization user), "socio‐technical interaction networks",...

Abstract The recent COVID‐19 pandemic has created an unprecedentedly complex situation and wicked problem in the education domain. This forced educators learners to study from home using unfamiliar pedagogical typologies technologies order adapt new work routine. research contributes theory practice by adopting a sociotechnical approach (STS) understand technical social implications of learning management systems (LMS) inform development. A qualitative is adopted, semi‐structured interviews...

In this paper we argue that for systems developers who intervene in organizationally dependent phases of information development, such as requirements determination, then the engagement with social actors may be considered to an interpretive research act. The argument is illustrated by action case studies which one authors intervened two situations explicit sociological perspective and analysis methods more usually associated qualitative science research. We places onus on both their...

Purpose This paper is intended to pay tribute the inspiration provided by Rob Kling showing how his ideas about social informatics in general and use of web models particular, have helped us formulate develop our own work field information systems development methods. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual discussion approach are taken. Findings Illustrates Kling's advocacy need for a more holistic form explanation behaviour what he (and Walt Scacchi) termed “computer resources” gave shape...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept quality related context software development using ISO, TickIT and CMM frameworks. also seeks stress fact that different perspectives those involved in will influence how seen measured. In engineering projects, takes on a broad meaning refers not only way which companies manage but process itself. Design/methodology/approach approach methodology adopted for were review literature best practice engineering. It argued users systems...

Electronic Government initiatives have often sounded very promising but been difficult to implement. However, many countries are continuing face the challenge of implementing successfully. Therefore, investigation factors that contribute success services is needed. In case Malaysian Government, aim implementation was serve public and government officials via multiple channel service access led by technological advancement, create integrated systems could be used effectively for internal...

The implementation literature shows that many organizations are able to install enterprise systems (ES), in the sense they make system available for use, but failed their efforts diffuse and incorporate throughout organization's daily practices. This difficulty is not new. It wever, special characteristics of ES re-motivate an enquiry into issues technological diffusion related areas learning. research identifies describes process key actions associated with ES. presentation focuses on two...

The broad view of projectification and the broader perspective on constant connectivity have produced insights that question conventional wisdom. However, how project practices are mediated by is under‐explored under‐theorized. We conduct a case study interplay between consulting work to address this gap. Our findings point three potential insights. First, we highlight projects in focal context characterized clockwork coordination logic. Second, show there affinity front‐stage synchronous...

ABSTRACT Critical systems thinking (CST) is a holistic framework that has proven instrumental in understanding and addressing complex problems across various domains, including social, environmental, economic systems. Despite its longstanding reputation for fostering comprehensive approach, limitations effectively contemporary sustainability issues necessitate critical reassessment. This paper aims to explore the CST paradox, reconciling need engagement with practical constraints, while...
