Integration in Electronic Exchange Environments. (Journal of Management Information Systems, 2000)
Authors: Abstract:
    Provided the increasing prevalence of electronic exchange environments--including propriety electronic data interchange (EDI) and some Internet-based EDI (e-commerce) systems--the authors argue that management's decision-making focus vis-a-vis electronic data interchange (EDI) assumes a tactical disposition rather than a strategic one. They offer that the formulation and execution of tactics may be organized around the general question of how to effectively integrate EDI with internal systems, since this appears to be crucial for obtaining the expected performance advantages. They distinguish between two integration concepts, including the integration between the EDI systems and internal systems (interface integration), and the integration among the internal systems (internal integration). Based on theory and literature, they propose that interface integration is favorably related to performance outcomes, and that interface integration and internal integration are positively related. Using data from the Group Insurance industry, they obtain supportive findings. They conclude that tactical EDI planning should centrally focus on interface integration regardless of how intensively management plans to use EDI. They further conclude that management may want to consider internal integration as a risk factor during EDI implementation, because the ability to establish high interface integration may be inhibited or advanced by low or high internal integration, respectively.
Gender Differences in the Information Systems Managerial Ranks: An Assessment of Potential Discriminatory Practices. (MIS Quarterly, 1994)
Authors: Abstract:
    This paper examines the extent to which gender discrimination is a force affecting the senior managerial ranks of the information systems (IS) occupation. While the employment trends of women in the IS occupation is encouraging, data are presented that suggest that IS may not be immune to the problems of gender discrimination. Analyzing data gathered by the Society for Information Management (SIM), a problem suggestive of discriminatory practices was found. Women receive lower salaries than men even when job level, age, education, and work experience are controlled.
