Limited research has considered the value derived from using enterprise resource panning (ERP) systems for decision making support. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of a set of individual differences, system characteristics, and perceived benefits of the system, on the intentions to use ERP systems for decision support. A field study was used to collect data from managers working in Bahraini enterprises that use ERP systems. The results indicate that individual differences concerning age, gender, level of education, and even computer self efficacy did not influence intentions of using the decision tools of ERP systems. The only individual difference that showed significant influence is the degree of knowledge of the system. In addition, both perceived shared benefits and system characteristics had significant influence on the intention to use the system for decision support tasks, through perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The paper discusses the implications of these findings and ends with possible extensions of the study.

Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and behavioral intention of the users in using WhatsApp are the variables measured for job performance. The researchers utilized convenience sampling, whereby a total of 105 employees from two departments participated in the investigation. Data was collected using a set of selfadministered questionnaires which was adapted from Davis. The findings revealed that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of WhatsApp as a means of communication were significant for job performance at DBKU. The employees felt more competent during their formal interaction at the workplace as less effort was needed while using WhatsApp. The existence of features which were user-friendly and easy operational functions helped to create positive attitudes when utilizing the application.

Tech-friendliness in this new era is an important quotient considered and the persons’ acceptance towards the technology frequency matters a lot. But still the frequency varies from person to person, this brought in the concept of Technology Acceptance Model given by Fred Davis in 1989. The theory of TAM is based on two theories that are Theory of Reasoned Action and Theory of Planned Behavior, TAM is extended version of these two. Green Banking is a new technology introduced by the banks that focuses on the growth of Sustainable development and Banking system too. Thus, banks ask their customers to use it or practice it in their daily life transactions. But every customer has their own point of view on the usage of Green banking. Thus, the research aims to understand the customers’ perception towards the Green Banking for this TAM is used. The research states that Perceived risk is the primary factor that is followed by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use that impacts the decision to use green banking. Thus, the behavioral intention results in actual use of green banking usage for which people are trying to accept the new technology. So, the banks have earned points for creating awareness among their customers but still they have to work hard and clarify their customers’ problems and vanish that hitch that is stopping them to use green banking easily.

Students and scheduling are both essential parts in a higher educational institution. However, after schedules are arranged and students has agreed to them, there are some occasions that can occur beyond the control of the university or lecturer which require the courses to be cancelled and arranged for replacement course schedules. At Universitas Multimedia Nusantara, an agreement between lecturers and students manually every time to establish a replacement course. The agreement consists of a replacement date and time that will be registered to the division of BAAK UMN which then enter the new schedule to the system. In this study, Ant Colony Optimization algorithm is implemented for scheduling replacement courses to make it easier and less time consuming. The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is chosen because it is proven to be effective when implemented to many scheduling problems. Result shows that ACO could enhance the scheduling system in Universitas Multimedia Nusantara, which specifically tested on the Department of Informatics replacement course scheduling system. Furthermore, the newly built system has also been tested by several lecturers of Informatics UMN with a good level of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Keywords—scheduling system, replacement course, Universitas Multimedia Nusantara, Ant Colony Optimization
