Barriers to technology transfer... Technology implementation is fraught with problems. On one hand there are a number of factors encouraging technological change. The potential benefits of the technology itself and the evangelistic endeavors of the technology experts push for change. The needs and frustrations of the user can provide a "market pull". However, these factors must have enough energy to break through the barriers to technology transfer that form a wall of resistance to change. The more that can be done to reduce or eliminate the barriers to technology transfer, the greater chance that the energy provided...

...explore the notion of ‘Technology Trust’ and if it impacts Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) implementation success. According to my research, there are many studies focusing on how an HRIS project can be initiated and implemented efficiently and effectively. However, there is not much information if ‘technology trust’ is an influential factor to reach the ultimate goal of HRIS implementation. The study Lippert and Swiercz (2005) worked to explore several propositions about the relationship between HRIS and Technology Trust and the effect of the relationship on HRIS implementation success. We know that trust is an essential component of all relationships. Research shows that trust is not only useful, but also central to understanding individual behavior in varied domains such as teamwork, risk-taking and job performance, information systems implementation, etc. (McKnight et al, 2011) Therefore, it is crucial to explore if the notion of “technology trust” helps explain why there are HRIS implementation failures and explain how to integrate the HRIS implementation process since it is proven that most organizations deploy less than 25% of the functionality of HRIS (Boroughs et al, 2008). Browne and Roguch (2001) stated that “despite the good faith efforts by organizations, analysts, and users, majority of systems are abandoned before completion or fail to meet user requirements.” The recent reports explain reasons the failures of HRIS implementation as poor project management...

...How to Avoid SAP ERP Implementation Failure 1. Introduction Any company which is implementing an ERP either a small scale or large organizations is taking huge risk as they have to invest a lot of money and it is a time taking process with risks involved. Risks and issues are part and parcel of every major IT transformation project. When we place this in point of large transformation projects like SAP or Oracle these risks and issues can be huge which can collapse the entire project if not managed and monitored periodically. SAP frameworks have executed effectively more then 40000+ clients on the planet and most extend disappointments are not identified with the item or programming however basically attached to extend execution and the product usage accomplice. As defined by Rowe ERP as “ERP systems represent the implementation of old managerial dream of unifying and centralizing all the information systems into a combined one”. The existing techniques or process which is being followed during the implementation have failed so we need to be innovative by following the standard process. In this paper we would discuss about the problems while implementing an ERP and how to overcome those to implement it successfully. 2. Statement of the problem In the late 1990-2005 most of the companies which invested in ERP 50-70% of them have faced a huge disappointment and huge losses. . In a survey it is found that 56% of implementation costs over budget, average of that over budget is...

...New technologies have changed teaching and learning in a number of ways—from graphing calculators to online lesson plans to virtual field trips and simulated dissections, educational technologies can help students access content in new and often exciting ways. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find a single school that doesn’t have access to some kind of educational technology. According to surveys, as many as 95% of schools are connected to the Internet; even at the level of the individual classroom, connection is nearly as universal—close to 75% of classrooms in the United States have Internet access (CEO Forum, 2000). Despite this nearly ubiquitous access to computer technology, however, there is a significant gap between the presence of technology and its usage in the classroom. While some type of technology is present in nearly every classroom in the country, it is rarely used to its fullest potential (Royer, 2002). Some of this discrepancy is due to a lack of comfort with using technology for teaching and learning. Even teachers who are using technology and report a high degree of comfort with technology tend to use it in fairly rigid ways, such as searching for activities to use with students, communicating with other teachers, and word processing (Price, Cates, & Bodzin, 2002). And while students frequently do use computers in the classroom, use is often limited to information gathering and word processing rather than using multimedia tools or digital content to design...

...BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES WITHIN SMALL AND MEDIUM INDUSTRIES IN KENYA Jacob Luballo Muyoyo Gangla Department of Computer Studies Kenya Technical Teachers College P.O. Box 44600 Nairobi - (0)20 7120212, 0729994440 E-mail:Luballomuyoyo@yahoo.com ABSTRACT Small and medium scale industries (SMIs) are increasing under pressure to adopt advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) to survive or be competitive. Previous studies suggest that AMTs can diffuse in SMIs that adopt new ways of thinking, have a workforce with higher level of skills, a flexible organizational structure and inculcate a new culture in managing, training and planning of the manufacturing technologies. However, in Kenya where SMIs appear slow to adopt AMTs, little work appears to have been done on the ability of SMIs to implement AMTs successfully. An exploratory survey of 60 SMIs suggest the need to rethink implementation of AMTs if they are to obtain strategic benefits of AMTs. In particular, they need to rethink their organic structure and understanding of the technologies, plan their level of skilled workers and engineers, and change their culture. Increasing their competitiveness and organizational flexibility requires a flexible structure, training of the workers to running multiple machines, stopping production when problem occurs, communicating organizational goals, and participating in idea generation and decision making. Further, SMIs...

...Plan, Process and Technology Issues Implementing Media630 The replacement of sensitive information with a randomly generated unique token or symbol is called Tokenization. One of the challenges faced with the implementation of this technology is that a universal standard (Single Standard) must be created so that all merchant can support the technology across multiple providers. In term of technical implementation, some of the front and backend systems will require retrofit to utilized tokenization technology. The training of end user on the new token and management of these token by security team will require extensive training for effective implementation. The need may arise to hire and train a new security team. The benefit of an end to end encryption to protect data should also be considered based on the risk assessment. Another challenge is the implementation of separation of duties approaches to ensure proper data protection method, by controlling what type of access to sensitive data is permitted to...

...healthcare departments. Such technologies are targeted at increasing the quality of services, the credibility of diagnostic and treatment options all in a bid to improve the quality of life. Despite the adoption of such technologies, new technology and information systems are cropping up every making technology adoption in the healthcare sector a perpetual undertaking. The aim of this paper is to review the literature ascribing to the use of information technology, particularly in the nursing department. By definition, innovation is the process of introducing or acquiring a new system to aid in the accomplishment of duties. Ideally, innovation creates a state of change in the organization (Omachonu & Einspruch, 2010). As such, implementation of innovation technology is often a complex task that involves careful planning. In essence, the technological innovation aims at making a healthcare facility attain the status of high reliability organizations (HRO). One of the main challenges that healthcare organization report, when adopting a new technology, lies in the implementing of the decision to acquire a new technology. Managers employ different strategies in implementing decisions at their organizations; the success of these decisions is dependent on the chosen decision approach. Thakur, Hsu, and Fontenot (2011) observed that managers could make the decisions using both top-down and bottom-up decision-making strategies; however, successful implementation is often highest among...

...Business process re-engineering 8. Systems analysis and technical implementation Introduction Business ventures have taken a giant leap in adopting technology. The storage of business information is necessary in order to integrate all the resources of a company. There was a need for a system that could perform these functions with ease, and provide the management with a chance to put together their enterprise data. The enterprise system was developed to cater for this. It is a computerized information system that puts together large amounts of data that can be retrieved. It is used mainly for large companies whereby information relating to the various structures and operations of the company can be stored and retrieved when required.(Noha and Delgado, 2006) various factors that make the system efficient were identified, and they are discussed here in this paper. Success factors of enterprise systems. 1. Business plan and vision A business plan should be drawn to give direction to the company. It acts as the rationale as to why people engage in a business venture. The business plan should state the goals of the business, the mission and the vision carefully and clearly set objectives. (Noha and Delgado, 2006) The position of the enterprise systems should be well defined to show how it will help to propel the business forward. Without a business plan, the effective implementation of an information system will be affected since the integration...

...Individual Assignment Technology Implementation Gustavo A. Matus Tec 401 July 11, 2012 Instructor: Summiya Mahdi, MBA/TM University of Phoenix Today’s economy has a very large impact on how and when companies or organizations implement new technologies, the order of the day is how to reduce cost by al means necessary and that perspective in most of the times involved personnel reduction. This approach and bad business practice has been applied for many years; but now a day with the technological advancements it is possible to modify that approach by maximizing capacity and efficiency and staying on top with state of the art technology that will boost the vision and mission of any particular company. According to Reagan, E. A., & O'Connor, B. N. (2002), “the premise here is that IT has the potential to increase performance in more ways than simply enabling work to be done faster and/or more easily”. “IT can support better communications, more informed decisions, and worker creativity”. (p.296) Now a day not only we are able to be more effective and efficient with new technology but we also have the ability to be mobile, with the use of new technology, employees have the option to work from home or also keep working on a project. The world of high-tech communication also has provide us with a great tool which are our smart phones, the communication process becomes uninterrupted and the distance barriers are not longer in place because on the digital highway...

...Information Technology Acts Paper BIS/220 01-26-2012 Information Technology Acts Paper Advancements in information technology are made daily. Theses advancements have brought new ethical issues to the surface. Complexities that could not be imaged 30 years prior are making the public take a look back at privacy and how fast it is disappearing. The processing of data via the computer (Encarta, 2003), better known as information technology, brings with it the ability to gather and distribution of large amounts of data inexpensively. The majority of the data available on-line is the comprised of bits and pieces of everyone’s lives. The public has taken a closer look at the options they have to govern that data and protect their privacy. Two laws put into place to protect the public’s privacy were the Do Not Call Implementation Act of 2003 and the Childrens Internet Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). Do Not Call Implementation Act of 2003 Some of the major advancements in information technology are the World Wide Web, electronic mail, mobile phones, and multiple communication device options. The combination of these advancements made individuals personal contact information very accessible. This gave telemarketers many different ways to contact possible customers. Many organizations used this opportunity to bombard, anyone unlucky enough to unknowingly provide their data, with multiple sale attempts. The Do Not Call Implementation Act of 2003 was in response to the unethical...

...stakeholders play in the selection and acquisition process. One of the most important decisions to be made is whether to choose between outsourcing the information system and/or to bring in Information Technology (IT) technicians to work within the organization. The considering organization must ask, “What expense are we willing to spend on implementing this new process and what are the benefits from each choice, outsourcing or in house?” The answers from these two questions will help guide the organization into the correct direction of implementing a new information system. “In the health sector, the incorporation of new medical technologies brings new challenges for IT managers to gather more and more information about patients.” (Correia, Chiodoni, Dalfovo, Silva, Teske, 2013) Goals should be set as to what is wanted and needed out of this new information system. Listed should include the goals of employees individually and as a whole, the goals of the front office, the goals of the back office, all participating physicians and the goals needed to achieve patient satisfaction. These goals will set the tone for how the organization will drive their information system selection process. The goals set within the organization will drive the selection process of implementing a new information...

...describes the four types of change technology, product, structure, people—occurring in organizations, and how to manage change successfully. The organization structure and management approach for facilitating each type of change is then discussed. Management techniques for influencing both the creation and implementation of change are also covered. The final section of the chapter looks at barriers to change and implementation techniques managers can use to overcome resistance. The Strategic Role of Change If there is one theme or lesson that emerges from previous chapters, it is that organizations must run fast to keep up with changes taking place all around them. Large organizations must find ways to act like small, flexible organizations. Manufacturing firms need to reach out for new, flexible manufacturing technology and service firms for new information technology (IT). Today’s organizations must keep themselves open to continuous innovation, not only to prosper but merely to survive in a world of disruptive change and increasingly stiff competition. There are three types of change: 1. Episodic change 2. Continuous change 3. Disruptive change Stages of Disruptive Innovation Strategic Types of Innovation and Change Managers can focus on four types of change within organizations to achieve strategic advantage. These four types of change are summarized as technology, products and services, strategy and structure, and culture. * Technology changes are changes in an organization’s...
