Supervisor Leadership

Project members’ innovative behavior is crucial to their sustainability and successful implementation of the project. This research develops a conceptual model to explore the effect of project supervisor leadership skills on member’s innovative behavior. The model is examined by a sample of 437 project members in Taiwan. The results show that project supervisors’ emotional healing positively influences members’ innovative behavior through affect-based trust in their supervisor and supervisor conceptual skill has an inverted-U impact on members’ innovative behavior through cognition-based trust in their supervisor. This paper further discusses implications of these conclusions for additional research on the association between leadership skills and innovative behavior.

Successful Integration

The concept of integrated marketing communications (IMC) was developed in the early 1990s and has gained significant interest from academics and practitioners alike. Although the concept is widely known for its theme of achieving consistency in messages sent, integration of marketing communications with corporate strategy is arguably the defining construct of IMC. In contrast to the attention the concept of IMC has achieved, integration of marketing communications with corporate strategy is rarely achieved. Correspondingly, there is a gap in understanding why such successful integration remains scarce. In order to support closure of this knowledge gap, the aim of this research is to support the successful implementation of IMC at a strategic level through the development of a conceptual model that is capable of helping to overcome barriers to successful integration. The objectives of the study are therefore to explore how decisions about marketing communication activities are taken and how customer knowledge generated through marketing communication activities is used to inform business strategy decisions. The knowledge needed to fulfil the research aim was generated from a case study setting of a global company, operating a decentralised organisational structure in the healthcare industry. The resulting research findings were grouped into three thematic areas which are termed efficiency, consistency, and relationship. These thematic areas, if unmanaged, may inhibit company-wide alignment of marketing communications activities with business strategy. This thesis contributes towards facilitating integration of marketing communications with strategy by providing a conceptual model which is termed ‘integration areas’. This model is based on the idea of using guiding principles for aligning marketing communication activities throughout a company. The integration area concept helps in the development of these guiding principles by providing thematic areas which should be considered in the course of this development so that integration of marketing communication activities with business strategy is achieved. Such support for guiding principles development for the purpose of achieving strategic integration of marketing communication activities has not yet been provided.

This chapter explores the potential of Web 2.0 utilization in developing countries through the concept of e-government. Successful implementation of the Web 2.0 concept has to combine both technological and human factors. Thus, this chapter proposes a conceptual model that will measure e-government 2.0 readiness. The conceptual model is based on a combination of the Technology Acceptance Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, and indexes from the United Nation’s database. South Sudan is used at the end as a brief case study of the potential of e-Government 2.0. Future research should validate the empirical model. Meanwhile, the implications of the model are presented.

The framework for this research is the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. The increasing rural proliferation of mobile services has created a unique opportunity to deliver to the rural users information and services through innovative mobile applications. This chapter develops a conceptual model of factors that make a rural mobile application successful and that are the barriers to its implementation. The conceptual framework developed has been validated by a questionnaire based field survey using structural equation modeling (AMOS). The chapter explores how the conceptual model is impacted by the service characteristics. The contribution of this research to further the understanding of technology adoption models for rural mobile applications has been discussed. The findings of the study have been corroborated with similar research focusing on adoption of rural mobile applications. The practical significance as to how the research findings help in successful implementation of mobile applications has been presented.

Abstract The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami triggered significant destruction to housing and related infrastructures across various coastal districts of south India. Research shows that tsunami reconstruction projects in Kerala experienced different degrees of success and failure. On this background, this study explored factors that contributed to the successful implementation of tsunami housing projects in Kerala by (1) consolidating various critical success factors (CSFs) for post-disaster reconstruction (PDR) projects under “project management success traits” through content analysis of existing literature; (2) deriving a conceptual model that envisages project success in PDR contexts; and (3) assessing the impacts of those success traits on tsunami housing projects using confirmatory factor analysis. Necessary data were gathered through a survey of various stakeholders involved in tsunami reconstruction projects in Kerala using structured questionnaires. The research revealed that PDR project success is attributed to critical dimensions of project management such as institutional mechanisms, reconstruction strategies, project implementation, and stakeholder management. A conceptual model with the interplay of project success, success traits, as well as their CSFs identified the project management actions that must be monitored during reconstruction. Since the project management approach is widely recognized for PDR projects, these success traits hold huge potential for effective organization and management of housing reconstruction projects. The study also helped to identify project management traits that need improvements for the successful implementation of post-disaster housing projects in Kerala. Thus the research findings can serve as a foundational study for formulating project management strategies appropriate to PDR projects in Kerala.

It is now believed that success of ERP systems is largely dependent on not only the successful evaluation, selection, implementation and post-implementation of ERP systems, but also on integrating it with the organizational business processes. On the other hand, nearly all business processes are collaborative in the sense that multiple human agents or actors interact with one another for achieving one or more process goals. As a result, one can claim that one major factor in successful implementation of the ERP systems is development of appropriate conceptual models of the ERP process from various perspectives. In this chapter the writer, being a member of the CSCW (computer supported cooperative work) research community, introduces a conceptual model for ERP which has an emphasis on the collaborative nature of ERP process that explicitly addresses the “awareness” and “knowledge-sharing” issues within the ERP process. This conceptual model demonstrates collaboration requirements of the actors behind individual business processes as well as the relationships among these business processes. This chapter is intended to introduce to the ERP community a relevant piece of work in conceptual modelling from the perspective of CSCW with the aim of attracting research collaborators for further investigation in these fields.

This paper identify and discuss barriers affecting knowledge management (KM) processes in the oil industry. Based on reviewing the literature on this topic, we used a conceptual model comprising the most important barriers, grouped in three categories–organizational, knowledge and people related–influencing four critical KM processes–creation, storage, share and application. Using factor analysis, we identified which barriers influence the most each of the KM process and what are the practical implications for companies operating in the oil industry. This study provides useful insights regarding knowledge processes barriers, enabling top executives to better cope with factors hindering successful implementation of KM initiatives.
