The efficient use of enterprise information for strategic advantage: A data envelopment analysis

A majority of manufacturers make use of some form of enterprise systems (ES), yet on average, the financial impact of ES adoption is essentially neutral. We propose that in an ES environment of easy information access, competitive success depends, in part, on the policies regulating enterprise information use. To explore this proposition, we examine the efficient use of different types of enterprise information in the realization of strategic performance. Efficient firms will devote fewer resources to information use to achieve the same strategic performance as less efficient firms.     

Automatic business process analysis and simulation based on DEMO

Enterprise process modelling as a core area of the Enterprises Information Systems (EIS) research has long attracted theoreticians of new concepts, designers of artefacts, and practitioners of modelling. As a result a vast number of modelling methods have been generated. However, each method is challenging because they lack certain aspects. First, these methods view processes as a flowchart, undermining the deep (nested) structure of processes. Second, most of these methods are based on informal or semi-formal representation, failing direct model checking and formal analysis without further translations and mapping procedures. Finally, because the majority of these methods originated from a computing perspective, their focal point is control-flow rather than interaction of social actors. In reality, an enterprise is a complex socio-technical system that includes interaction of technical and social components. In this paper, we discuss an innovative method that will address some of these challenges and provide an improved tool for this purpose. We base our method on the field-proven DEMO theory and methodology, where emphasis is made on the interactions between social actors. The proposed method encompasses a set of graphical notations and constructs based on the Petri nets semantics that allows direct model analysis and simulation.

Facilitating offshoring with enterprise technologies: Reducing operational friction in the governance and production of services

The development of cheap and robust communications technologies has lowered the cost of conducting business transactions across international boarders and opened up low wage rate global labor markets to firms facing demand for cheap and efficient service delivery. A review of transaction cost theory and operations management models of service process disaggregation reveals parallels between the how firm boundaries are determined and how certain service process elements can be disaggregated from face-to-face customer contact. This theoretical background is used to identify challenges to the effective offshoring of service processes. The competitive capability literature offers suggestions as to how firms might acquire the internal capabilities required to manage offshore service processes. Propositions are developed on how the standardized transactional infrastructure of enterprise technologies (and the organizational competencies developed by successful enterprise system adopters) may help mitigate the challenges of offshore governance.     

How field-level institutions become a part of organizations: A study of enterprise architecture as a tool for institutional change

Heeding recent calls for more studies on micro-practices and institutional change, this study reports a collaborative case study to elucidate the micro-practices and legitimating strategies that make field-level institutions a part of organizations. Building on institutional theories and using Enterprise Architecture (EA) as an example of field-level institutions, the study explores how two distinct organizations adopted EA, the impediments they experienced, and the strategies used to make EA an acceptable part of organizations. The findings suggest three change mechanisms that enact field-level institutions in organizations: the creation of shared spaces for knowledge exchange between organization members, the importance of role shifting within shared spaces to effectively engage with other organization members, and the need for lexical shifts in communication to better resonate with users. The findings deepen our understanding of institutional elements that impede change, as well as the legitimating strategies that enact field-level institutions.     

Knowledge-sharing rewards in enterprise social networks: effects of learner types and impact of digitisation

ABSTRACT

The era of total digitisation demands companies to seek innovative approaches in managing digital assets. This paper presents and studies an analytical model of an enterprise social network (ESN) employed by organisations in facilitating knowledge sharing and learning. Exploring the design of reward systems that motivate workers to share knowledge, we focus on how the dominant type of learners (avid or impressionable), the network structure of the ESN, and digitisation affect the reward systems. This research provides valuable insights for practitioners to implement appropriate reward systems to promote knowledge sharing and learning in ESNs.     

我国企业年金税惠政策的成本和收益精算评估

企业年金个人所得税递延政策于2014年1月1日开始实施,政策调整必然会带来相应的成本和收益。基于我国特殊的人口结构状况,本文通过建立精算模型进行模拟,具体分析税惠政策的实施在未来50年内的成本和收益,并运用成本收益比和覆盖率两个变量进行评价。模拟结果发现：若税惠政策能够促进企业年金发展,使得覆盖率增加,成本收益比会逐渐在16%~17%的水平保持稳定。本文进一步研究了延迟退休政策和死亡率变化对税惠成本和收益的影响。     

Risk assessment for enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementations: a fault tree analysis approach

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementations are often characterised with large capital outlay, long implementation duration, and high risk of failure. In order to avoid ERP implementation failure and realise the benefits of the system, sound risk management is the key. This paper proposes a probabilistic risk assessment approach for ERP system implementation projects based on fault tree analysis, which models the relationship between ERP system components and specific risk factors. Unlike traditional risk management approaches that have been mostly focused on meeting project budget and schedule objectives, the proposed approach intends to address the risks that may cause ERP system usage failure. The approach can be used to identify the root causes of ERP system implementation usage failure and quantify the impact of critical component failures or critical risk events in the implementation process.

A node-centric analysis of metagraphs and its applications to workflow models

Business processes and its related workflow systems have received greater interest in practice and research in the last decade. Many analytical methodologies for analysis and design of workflow systems emerged. A recent formal approach to study workflows using a graph-theoretic method called ‘metagraphs’ has demonstrated effectiveness for analysing connectivity and interactions of information and resources between workflow components. However, past works in analysis of metagraph are element-based. Since nodes in metagraphs represent either the input or output of an activity it is natural to process information contained in a node taken as a unit. This paper takes a node-centric view on metagraphs that is a major departure from the element-based approach today. The change in focus requires provisioning an analysis framework under the node-centric views. New basic constructs including, but not limited to, concepts such as: ‘surplus sets’, ‘deficit sets’, ‘state of a path’, and ‘node-centric view of adjacency matrices’ are introduced. The approach produces computational feasible systems for elements that are over supplied and/or under supplied from a source node to a target node of any path of the metagraph. Such information could be valuable for designing workflow systems. Also, the node-centric approach is shown to be an extension of the basic constructs of element-view metagraphs and is a complementary method for validating information requirements of workflow modelling. Illustrative examples are given.     

ERP systems success: an empirical analysis of how two organizational stakeholder groups prioritize and evaluate relevant measures

Organizations worldwide are adopting enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. A number of studies discuss the implementation and success of such systems, but our study of the literature indicates that discussions about ERP systems success from the perspectives of key organizational stakeholders are not easy to come across. This study is designed to fill this gap in research. Using surveys in Finland and Estonia, we obtained empirical data from 66 respondents in 44 diverse, private, industrial organizations. Our objective was to determine whether differences exist between two organizational stakeholder groups, i.e. business managers and IT professionals, concerning how each group believe ERP success measures and dimensions are prioritized and evaluated in their respective organizations. Prior literature suggests that differences exist between the two groups with regard to how each perceives organizational information technology (IT) issues. Our study indicates that no significant statistical differences exist between the two groups with the exception of one dimension of ERP success, i.e. vendor/consultant quality. The implications of our findings for both practice and research are discussed.
