  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) for Exploring the Adoption of Electronic Health Records Author: Mudavadi, Caroline, Hogaboam, Liliya, Daim, Tugrul Unsal Year: 2016 Information systems have been making a noticeable entrance in the healthcare, although their adoption has been slow. This paper examines the factors influencing the electronic healthcare records (EHR) adoption by modeling behavioral intention of physicians towards EHR adoption. Three main criteria: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and external factors along with the subcriteria, are studied by the authors. Analytical hierarchical process (AHP) model is tested through the expert judgment quantification of physicians in Portland metro area. The results showed high importance of the Perceived Ease of Use criteria on the behavioral intensions of physicians towards EHR adoption. Search ability and user interface - subcriteria of Perceived Ease of Use had some of the highest values. Another important subcriterion in the analysis under External Factors Criteria was Cost. None of the criteria evaluated could be considered unimportant, i.e. having really low values after the analysis. The results indicate that EHR should be mandatory in terms of reducing of time spent and errors, improving the outcomes and productivity and in terms of optimum patient treatment. © 2016 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology, Inc.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Innovation Disrupted as Employees Cope With Organizational Changes – Observations from Conexant’s Cupertino Hardware Team Author: Lin, Linda H. Year: 2005 With the recent slow-down in the high-tech sector, companies are increasingly seeking ways to streamline and add value to their businesses. Organizational changes such as downsizing and acquisitions are becoming integral parts of today’s organizational fabric. When done correctly, organizational restructuring can be beneficial; however, in many cases, organizational changes proved to be detrimental to a company and its innovation process. This paper illustrates, through examples observed from Conexant’s Cupertino hardware team, how a team plagued by incessant organizational restructuring behaved and coped with changes and how those behaviors and attitudes disrupted innovation.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Implementatiuon of Company-Wide Project Portfolio Management System Author: Chenchugopal, Arun, Huynh, Hai, Jovonovic, Steven Year: 2008 Company M, an established software company, provides inventory management software for business that wish to sell merchandise on online markets. These markets include Amazon.com, eBay.com, Alibris.com, Abebooks.com, and Play.com. Periodically these markets make new changes in how they operate, which requires Company M to adjust the way they contact and handle data. These changes present Company M with a set of maintenance projects that are required to maintain the software’s stability. Along with these variable changes, Company M, also needs to stay competitive by providing new features to add their own value against their competitors. Currently, Company M prioritizes projects based on market changes and customer needs. As the market presents new changes, the resulting projects are moved to a project list with high priority. As demand for new features are made by customers, they become new projects and are also placed on the project list. With an ever increasing number of projects to work on, resources become scarce and projects begin to be placed on hold or cancelled all together. Determining which projects are allocated resources is a subjective decision rather than based on analysis. This project will analyze Company M’s current situation and create a project portfolio management process, which, if used as described, will allow for more accurate and consistent decision making in the project selection process while ensuring projects align with company business strategy, giving Company M a better chance of success over its competitors.
