Knowledge retention and transfer in an IT community of practice| Leader and former participant perspectivesStones, Marisa A. J. 01 July 2015 (has links)
<p> The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study which evolved into a collective case study was to gain a deeper understanding of knowledge retention and transfer practices within an information technology (IT) interorganizational community of practice. The study involved analyzing structured interview responses from six trainee, seven leaders and two government leader participants in the Bermuda-based program who had experienced knowledge retention and transfer within the social environment, as well as an analysis of relevant documentation to identify emergent themes. Eight themes identified through the data were learner, role model, relevance, learning environment, communication, opportunity, networking, and modeling. The research revealed many elements in the interorganizational IT community of practice contributed to knowledge retention and transfer, including the environment, differing perspectives of those involved, personal development of participants, the career boost perceived by participants, and the complexity of the IT industry. The findings include suggestions for expanding and strengthening the community of practice through partnerships with educational institutions, IT organizations, and alumni of the program, in addition to program enhancements and the replication of the program in other jurisdictions, which might lead to enhancing the value of participation in the IT interorganizational community of practice to the constituent groups involved.</p>

IT Governance of Cloud Computing| Performance Measures using an IT Outsourcing Perspectivevan Ketwich, Willem 21 March 2014 (has links)
<p> With the advent of cloud computing and the success of the cloud computing industry, organisations are beginning to adopt this service model and technology at an increasing rate. As the rate and level of use increases, organisations are faced with how best to govern these investments and obtain maximum benefit from the services offered by providers. This includes measuring the performance of these services, the corresponding organisational performance and the associated business value generated. In investigating these areas, this study compares cloud computing and IT outsourcing. It is found that while cloud measures relate, to a great extent, to the operational level of an organisation, IT outsourcing measures are concerned more with the strategic level. This highlights that cloud computing lacks strategic measures and that measures from IT outsourcing may be adopted to fill this gap.</p>

An integrated information system for Hong Kong construction contractorsWong, K. D. January 1993 (has links)
In the 1990s the capital investment, the standards of technology involved, the complexity of co-ordination, the quality requirements and the speed of construction projects in the world, have been substantially increased in both public and private sectors. These changes have forced contractors to increase their efficiency of management, not only to satisfy their business and commercial requirements but also for their survival in the industry due to the highly competitive environment. The continuing development of information technology has a great impact on all disciplines including construction management, and good information is increasingly important to construction managers. The research described in the thesis is based on the construction industry of Hong Kong, which is a magnet for all the best construction contractors and professionals in the world, due to the sale of the projects involved and the commercial systems provided. However, the principles generated by this research are of more general application in the management of construction projects. The main outcomes of the research are as follows: a) The existing practices and the impacts of the new developments in the construction projects of Hong Kong have been examined. b) A model of construction management practice in Hong Kong has been developed by taking into consideration previous researches, published literatures, current practices and new impacts. c) A comprehensive computer system using a fourth-generation language has been developed. The system involves two levels of operation including the management practices of head office and construction sites. The functions provided by the system include estimation and quality assurance at head office level. The site level systems provide the functions of information control, cost control, materials control and progress control. The integration of information flow among these functions is the main consideration in the development of the system. The system has been put into field tested using the construction projects of Hong Kong as described in the thesis, and has been found to be effective.

Leaders' Influence on the Success of Computer Support Teams| A Correlational StudyMantsch, Mary E. 26 February 2014 (has links)
<p> Computers have changed the way organizations do business and store information. Teams of professionals are needed to support the increased use of technology. Organizational leaders depend on information technology to obtain market information, maintain contact with customers, maintain organizational data, and stay competitive. Research supports organizational use of teams and a leader’s relationship with followers affect the success of teams, which in turn influences an organization’s competitiveness and outcomes. This quantitative descriptive correlational study describes how leadership and communication styles affect the success of computer support teams. The sample size in the study was relatively small. The response of leaders was eight out of 10 and follower response was 25 out of ninety. The study included a review of the impact of the increased use of teams in organizations and the relationship between leaders and followers. The results indicate a correlation of a leader’s leadership and communication style to the success of computer support team members. The effect of relationships between leaders and followers is important in determining why some computer support teams are less successful.</p>
