Password Security: An Empirical Study. (Journal of Management Information Systems, 1999)
Authors: Abstract:
    Organizations are more dependent than ever on the reliable operation of their information systems, which have become a key to their success and effectiveness. While the growing dependence on information systems creates an urgent need to collect information and make it accessible, the proliferation of computer technology has also spawned opportunities for ill-intentioned individuals to violate the information systems' integrity and validity. One of the most common control mechanisms for authenticating users of computerized information systems is the use of passwords. However, despite the widespread use of passwords, little attention has been given to the characteristics of their actual use. This paper addresses the gap in evaluating the characteristics of real-life passwords and presents the results of an empirical study on password usage. It investigates the core characteristics of user-generated passwords and associations among those characteristics.
Relationships between Organizational and Information Systems Objectives: Some Empirical Evidence. (Journal of Management Information Systems, 1990)
Authors: Abstract:
    An empirical investigation of some relationships between organizational objectives and information systems (IS) objectives is reported. The major findings are that IS objectives are associated with organizational objectives and there is a correspondence between each organizational objective and specific IS objectives. These relationships support normative approaches to linking IS objectives to those of the organization. They can be used to formulate an operationally feasible approach that can help organizations determine their IS objectives according to their organizational objectives.
Factors Affecting the Policy for Distributing Computing Resources. (MIS Quarterly, 1989)
Authors: Abstract:
    This article discusses the findings of an empirical study conducted on 303 organizations. The major purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between various organizational attributes and the deployment of hardware resources. The salient finding was that the most influential variable is the distribution of decision-making processes in the organization. The more decision making is distributed, the more hardware is distributed. No significant relationships were detected between hardware distribution and any of the following variables: organizational structure, economic sectorial association, and the size of the organization.
