Abstract

Kleine en middelgrote ondernemingen, in deze masterproef vaak afgekort tot kmo's, worden beschouwd als een van de sterkste motoren van onze Belgische economie. Dit komt ondermeer door haar bijdrage aan de welvaartcreatie en haar stijgend aandeel in de totale economische activiteit in ons land. Momenteel zien we dat meer dan negenennegentig procent van de ondernemingen in België klein of middelgroot zijn.Ondanks het feit dat kmo's over heel wat financieringsbronnen kunnen beschikken om zich te financieren, is dit voor een kmo echter geen gemakkelijke opdracht. Een mogelijk probleem dat zich kan voordoen bij bankfinanciering is het asymmetrische informatieprobleem. Dit houdt in dat de ene partij meer of minder geïnformeerd is bij een transactie dan de andere partij. In ons onderzoek wordt dan ook nagegaan of er effectief een verschil bestaat in bankfinanciering van kmo's naargelang ze meer of minder met asymmetrische informatie te maken hebben.

Abstract

Theory is the bedrock of many sciences, providing a rigorous method to advance knowledge, through testing and falsifying hypotheses about observable phenomena. To begin with, the nascent field of HCI followed the scientific method borrowing theories from cognitive science to test theories about user performance at the interface. But HCI has emerged as an eclectic interdiscipline rather than a well-defined science. It now covers all aspects of human life, from birth to bereavement, through all manner of computing, from device ecologies to nano-technology. It comes as no surprise that the role of theory in HCI has also greatly expanded from the early days of scientific testing to include other functions such as describing, explaining, critiquing, and as the basis for generating new designs.The book charts the theoretical developments in HCI, both past and present, reflecting on how they have shaped the field. It explores both the rhetoric and the reality: how theories have been conceptualized, what was promised, how they have been used and which has made the most impact in the field -- and the reasons for this. Finally, it looks to the future and asks whether theory will continue to have a role, and, if so, what this might be.

Abstract

The overall mission of this book is to provide a comprehensive understanding and coverage of the various theories and models used in IS research. Specifically, it aims to focus on the following key objectives: To describe the various theories and models applicable to studying IS/IT management issues. To outline and describe, for each of the various theories and models, independent and dependent constructs, reference discipline/originating area, originating author(s), seminal articles, level of analysis (i.e. firm, individual, industry) and links with other theories. To provide a critical review/meta-analysis of IS/IT management articles that have used a particular theory/model. To discuss how a theory can be used to better understand how information systems can be effectively deployed in today's digital world.   This book contributes to our understanding of a number of theories and models. The theoretical contribution of this book is that it analyzes and synthesizes the relevant literature in order to enhance knowledge of IS theories and models from various perspectives. To cater to the information needs of a diverse spectrum of readers, this book is structured into two volumes, with each volume further broken down into two sections. The first section of Volume 1 presents detailed descriptions of a set of theories centered around the IS lifecycle, including the Success Model, Technology Acceptance Model, User Resistance Theories, and four others. The second section of Volume 1 contains strategic and economic theories, including a Resource-Based View, Theory of Slack Resources, Portfolio Theory, Discrepancy Theory Models, and eleven others. The first section of Volume 2 concerns socio-psychological theories. These include Personal Construct Theory, Psychological Ownership, Transactive Memory, Language-Action Approach, and nine others.   The second section of Volume 2 deals with methodological theories, including Critical Realism, Grounded Theory, Narrative Inquiry, Work System Method, and four others. Together, these theories provide a rich tapestry of knowledge around the use of theory in IS research. Since most of these theories are from contributing disciplines, they provide a window into the world of external thought leadership.

Abstract

The International Conference on Information Engineering and Applications (IEA) 2011 will be held on October 21-24, 2011, in Chongqing, China. It is organized by Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanyang Technological University, the University of Michigan, Chongqing University of Arts and Sciences, and sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The objective of IEA 2011 is to facilitate an exchange of information on best practices for the latest research advances in the area of information engineering and intelligence applications, which mainly includes computer science and engineering, informatics, communications and control, electrical engineering, information computing, business intelligence and management. IEA 2011 will provide a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address the most innovative research and development including technical challenges, social and economic issues, and to present and discuss their ideas, results, work in progress and experience in all aspects of advanced information and business intelligence. The conference scope will place emphases on original work on identifying new research and development challenges and developing new techniques and algorithms in information and business intelligence. Original research papers in information and business intelligence on new theories, methods, algorithms, experimental and applied researches are solicited. Authors will be invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal. All tracks are open to both research and industry contributions. The accepted papers will be collected into two volumes of proceedings.

Abstract

Information Strategy Design and Practices illustrates approaches for designing and implementing information strategy. While it gives details of different theoretical concepts related to information strategy, it also provides live examples from different corporations as to how project goals can be achieved through effective information strategy. The book also illustrates ˜people focused' frameworks that can be used for designing and implementing IS. It also demonstrates different approaches that would be of interest to practitioners.  The book has power point presentations for instructors which can be obtained from Springer.com.
