摘要:

This study assesses the effect of team composition on decision schemes, perceived complexity, and external information search conducted during team problem‐solving processes. The study draws on a systematic review of relevant literature in group psychology, organization behavior, and marketing science, and it is followed by a quasi‐experimental study for verification of the propositions. The independent variable chosen is team composition: teams are classified into “experienced”; teams and “inexperienced”; teams. The intervening variables are external information search, decision schemes, and perceived complexity. The study has implications for team decision support system design.

摘要:

EBT is a stand‐alone electronic brainstorming tool designed specifically for researchers. It can be used for face‐to‐face as well as dispersed groups, and will work in a typical college computer lab LAN environment. Its features include anonymous and nonanonymous idea‐generation modes, the ability to run multiple simultaneous sessions, and the option of generating a session logfile which indicates the originator and time of each idea generated during a session. EBT is available to researchers on the Internet via anonymous ftp.

摘要:

A trend in cooperative systems is the emergence of multimedia systems that aim to support synchronous cooperation in a manner which unifies both remote and co‐located users. These systems combine information‐sharing facilities provided in real time with video‐ and audiocommunication services. This review of IBM's desktop multimedia conferencing system Person to Person (P2P) presents the characteristics of its utilities. Further, it discusses some organizational impacts and implementation issues within an organizational context.

摘要:

An important area of organizational computing (OC) research involves empirical evaluation of OC systems. However, there has been insufficient work on identifying dependent variables that need to be measured to assess the impacts of such systems. We have previously suggested a framework from which various OC research models can be derived, each having five organization infrastructure purposes as dependent variables. In this article, we report on an empirical study conducted to verify that a) these five purposes are distinct dimensions of organizational performance and that b) collectively, they characterize the performance of an organization. The results show that the five purposes are considered to be important, distinct, and comprehensive factors in measuring organizational performance by management scholars.

摘要:

Manufacturing is a complex application domain, traditionally a realm of engineers and factory workers. As we are in the information age, the manufacturing domain has become more dependent on information through the use of computers and computer‐controlled machines. In the arena of advanced manufacturing, a number of concepts such as the “virtual corporation”; and “virtual factory”; have emerged, requiring that manufacturing be highly information‐intensive and knowledge‐based.
