As business environment is getting globalized,. how to rapidly integrate information for improving the competitiveness of enterprise becomes a key issue. Therefore, adopting the information system outsourcing to increase the ability of an organization becomes one of the management trends. To obtain a suitable information system is always a critical challenge for most of the companies. Many researches of information system outsourcing showed a lot of un-satisfactions from the user side. Some of the projects are not only un-satisfied but even failed. Did improper expectations exist between the both sides? It is very important to find a trustful, experienced and professional partner for developing the system. Improper expectations and biases can be reduced so as to reduce the risk and avoid the un-necessary delay or conflicts. There were many researches and discussions about the critical success factors of outsourcing ,the relationship between the two sides and outsourcing satisfaction. However, very few researches are devotedto the issue of differences in perception and expectation between the two sides. In this research, multi-case study was adopted as the research method. Fourteen people in eleven cases were interviewed. Differences in perception and expection were investigated under the dimensions of objective, responsibility, relationship, culture and external environment. A framework was proposed to explain the phenomena under investigation. This framework can serve as a reference model for practical information system outsourcing as well as future research.

Because of the development of the information technology, the enterprises of telecommunication introduce many applications system which have different independent function or some software developed by enterprises itself. After enterprises introduce these systems, they find information systems ongoing to expand have influenced the performance of systems and the operation time of users. Even influence the customer service satisfaction. Thus the enterprise continually to integrate system functions. At the same time, they find these independent systems have many problems, such as valuable data have been input several times to different system, data and object standard different between different systems. The technology of enterprise application integration¡]EAI¡^ provides enterprise a better solution to solve these problems. The purpose of this study is to address the issue of telecommunication system integration and using the EAI¡¦s methodology to analysis system. The analytics contains 3 modules, i.e. ¡§data¡¨, ¡§activity¡¨ and ¡§process¡¨ that handle functions of data transforming, message dispatching and process modeling among the heterogeneous systems. This study will use three modules of EAI to analyze the operation information system and study the main evaluation factors of EAI. This study could be submitted to the telecommunication industry for presetting construction when they consider to implementing the ¡§Enterprise Application Integration¡¨ system.

In order to adapt with the rapidly changing industrial environment and improve the efficiency of management, enterprise needs to re-engineer their information system. The whole process of business reengineering is induced by motivation of reengineering. After that, enterprise needs to select a reengineering strategy and transform into the executive plan to start the rest part. The information system reengineering process follows the same pathway as process of business reengineering. The wrong strategy might lead the wrong execution, which cause failure of the whole reengineering. In this research, author tried to build a model to explain how reengineering motivation interacts with the choice of reengineering strategy, and verifies the model by real case chosen from Passive Component Electronic Industry. The outcome might be helpful for the enterprises whose information system reengineering is going to take place.

Postponement, which is a stategy in the area of supply chain management, has a long history of practical applications as well as academic literature. However, most existing studies are conceptual and the main method of empiprical study is case study, which leads to the empirical findings are not able to be generalized to other companies or industries. In addition, past empirical researches are almost entirely conducted in the Western countries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the motivations, current situations, facilitators and and results of postponement in Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan). This study conducted two interviews and a questionnaire survey by e-mail across three industries. The result indicated that postponement application in Greater China was growing and the degree of postponement application was higher than the previous evidences in the West regions. Rather, environmental uncertainty, administrative factors, and IS maturity had positive effects on postponement application. In addition, industry characteristics would also affect the types of postponement strategy used. As to the results of applying postponement, postponement indeed raises company performances, but it is not necessary to facilitate companies outsource operations activities.

Strategic IT outsourcing decisions have attracted attentions from the researchers and practitioners for over a decade. However, although there were many researchers emphasizing the ¡§content¡¨ of information technology, few were focusing on the ¡§distribution¡¨ issues. Lee, Huynh et al. (2003) identified seven patterns in the outsourcing research literature from a historical evolutionary perspective. These patterns, which can serve as areas of inquiries in the domain of IT outsourcing research, include: outsourcing decision (to make or to buy), outsourcing motivation, scope of outsourcing, performance assessment, insourcing (the variant of outsourcing), outsourcing contract, and outsourcing partnership. This research focuses on the areas of outsourcing contract and partnerships at the higher end of the evolutionary loop, but would refer to the other areas of IT outsourcing research as needed. Mahnke, Overby and Van (2005) draw on concept-centric literature review approach (Meta-analysis approach) to review 19 empirical IT outsourcing research between 1995-2002. They report their findings of the theoretical perspectives used in these empirical studies, which include transaction cost economics, competence perspective and relational view. Building on their endeavor, my meta-analysis review in this research study will focus on empirical IT outsourcing studies conducted after 2002, especially on empirical research centered on IT outsourcing contract and partnering issues that have not been extensively reviewed by Mahnke et al. and other researchers. Drawing on concept-centric literature review approach suggested by Webster and Watson (2002) in MIS Quarterly, this research study will integrate cross-field knowledge on IT outsourcing contracts and partnerships issues, and thus infer to media firms management. Our key findings includes the discussion between theories and empirical research, knowledge integration of outsourcing contract and outsourcing partnerships, comparison of empirical studies content, and other important concepts. Besides, we combine our findings and the three main theories in IT outsourcing field: TCE, RBV, and RV, and thus made the integrated theoretical framework. Finally, we infer our integrated theoretical framework to media firms¡¦ management.

Class of 2014 Abstract / Specific Aims: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze the pharmacy department’s performance before and after the transition from a segmented set of information technology systems to an enterprise wide electronic health record. Methods: This prospective, observational study collected data from both the pre-implementation and post-implementation electronic systems. The enterprise wide electronic system was implemented on November 1, 2013. Medication turnaround time, missing medication requests, and profile-linked automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) override rates were measured before implementation (August and September 2013) and after implementation (November 2013 and January, February, and March 2014). This study did not use patient specific data and does not involve human subjects and therefore was exempt from Institutional Review Board review. Main Results: Average medication turnaround time in November 2013 (1243.6 seconds; 95% CI 1219.55-1267.73) was significantly slower than in September 2013 (697.71 seconds; 95% CI 685.45-709.97; p<0.001). In January 2014, there was no difference (695.45 seconds; 95% CI 678.17-712.73; p = 0.83) and February 2014 showed significant improvement (619.09 seconds; 95% CI 605.18-633.00; p<0.001). There were significantly more missing medication requests in February (19002) and March 2014 (18996) than in August 2013 (1319; p<0.001 for both). The ADC override rate was significantly higher in November 2013 (5.87%) than in August 2013 (3.98%; p<.001) and lower in February 2014 (3.16%; p<0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that implementation of an enterprise-wide electronic health record has led to improved pharmacy order processing efficiency and allowed for increased communication between healthcare professionals, albeit with a loss of efficiency initially.
