An analysis of the role of government in e-business adoption is provided in this chapter, with empirical evidence from Australia included. It is shown that government influence is multifaceted. Governments champion e-business adoption for national economic gain; they provide the physical network on which much of e-business depends and increasingly provide e-government services to improve regulation and compliance effectiveness. E-government in particular can act as a strong driver of organisational adoption for some types of e-business processes. Implications for theory from a DOI perspective are included. The authors hope that further research by IS professionals will guide future e-business project directions by improving the understanding of government’s role in e-business adoption in practice, which in turn will improve theoretical understanding of how the benefits can best be maximized.

The article is focused on actual and future importance of collective bargaining at plant and company level in the German automotive industry. The impacts of restructuring of business processes, which are connected with trends towards globalisation and financialisation, are described and analysed. Empirical evidence is based on case studies in German based automobile companies. It is argued, that globalisation and financialisation are changing the balance of power within enterprises, the issues over which bargaining is taking place and the significance of certain arenas for negotiation. The paper concludes that collective bargaining still matter, and the locally embedded collective skills and cooperation play an important role in strategic choices of corporate management towards restructuring and globalisation and thereby give room to maneuver for employees' representation.

Information Systems Planning

In a business application environment, the business processes are seldom static. This puts tremendous pressure on the information systems planning and development group (ISPD) to continually modify computer systems to adapt to changing needs of users. This often means that the computer system does not reflect the current business process because of the time lag required to make changes. At the same time, user expectations about the type and quality of changes may not accurately reflect what ISPD can deliver. This paper discusses a conceptual model that can be used to better understand the dynamics of introducing a new computer system into an organization, and some of the techniques used at AT&T/Springfield in the design, development, and deployment of information systems.

Chain Management

Studies on supply chain management suggest that the scope of business processes being coordinated across supply chains is broad. However, little empirical evidence exists that corroborates such claims. In this study executives randomly selected from a diverse array of industries were surveyed to determine the scope of processes that are being integrated across organizational borders, the extent to which they are being jointly managed, and the span in terms of the number of tiers across which they are being managed. The results indicate that a large proportion of companies that practice supply chain management are attempting to integrate logistics, marketing, and operations‐oriented processes with those of other companies in their supply chains. Also, the span of a company's supply chain management efforts significantly relates to the extent to which it jointly manages business processes with other firms.

Business Efficiency

Internet-based application (e-business) is well-recognized as a useful mean to extend business efficiency. Owing to the idiosyncratic nature of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), considerable works have been initiated to explain why firms within this sector embrace e-business. Despite extensive research to identify factors that explain the firm’s e-business practice, works are still limited to examining as to what extent the e-business assimilates into business operation. Furthermore, firms would experience varying degrees of benefits by deploying e-business. Therefore, this paper reports intensity of ebusiness usage across various business processes and its relationship with cumulative benefits. A survey of 140 SMEs has revealed the diversity of e-business usage across business processes. A cluster analysis has further proposed three distinct profiles of firms based on the intensity of their e-business usage. Finally, the empirical evidence obtained has also ascertained positive association between the intensity of e-business usage and cumulative e-business benefits. Despite limitations highlighted, this paper provides evidence on the current state of e-business usage across firm operation and its likely impact to the firm operation.

ABSTRACT The need for continuous auditing and continuous monitoring (CA/CM) has increased in the global digital economy. Modern computer-based systems make it possible to measure and monitor business processes at an unprecedented level of detail in a real- or near real-time basis. This empowers auditors to become increasingly dependent on computer technology and software tools. While there is a growing body of literature related to this domain, there is a need for empirical evidence from actual implementations that document these systems in detail. In this research, we perform such an investigation on three CA/CM systems, namely SAPSECURE, CAMAP, and Bagheera-S™.

Over the past decades, the ERP systems have become indispensable in business processes, particularly in the planning and handling of company resources. At the same time, the ERP system implementation remains a complex process involving a number of factors affecting the quality final solution. This paper aims to measure the end-user satisfaction with an ERP system as it directly affects their efficiency, and thus the ERP system efficiency in achieving the goals and objectives of the company. End-user expectations and attitudes play an important, if not crucial, role in ERP implementation success. In this paper, the user satisfaction was measured through six different user efficiency factors: compatibility, complexity, training, quality of support, adaptation to the needs, and feeling of reliability. The factors were measured comparing SAP solutions and localdeveloped ERP systems. The conducted research has shown statistically significant results indicating that SAP is better accepted ERP solution by the users than observed local solutions.
