Abstract-ICTThe finding of the study showed that one of IPAs ICTSP aim is to promote innovation in their organization since they are a dynamic and innovative organization. The research also revealed that even though IPA had experienced in ICTSP development and implementation, they were still facing several problems in developing and implementing ICTSP using existing methodologies. The problem is related to the level of easiness and completeness of methodology used and the comprehensiveness of blueprint produce to gain the requested budget from the sponsor. In addition, the research also suggested that there is a need to customize the existing ICTSP methodology to fulfill research institutes unique characteristics and to maximize ICTSP impact to promote innovation in the organization.Index Terms-Strategic information systems planning, ICT strategic planning, SISP methodology, research institutes.

“…To reflect and contain organizational strategic objectives in the design and construction of IT infrastructure, an information systems (IS) strategy that includes detailed planning or directions about the construction of the IT infrastructure must be aligned with the firm's competitive strategy (Byrd et al, 2006;Bechor et al, 2010). Through IS strategic alignment, the firm's strategic missions or goals, which determine its knowledge demands, can be reflected in the design and development of the IT infrastructure.…”

A B S T R A C TInvestigating how to develop information technology (IT) infrastructure that can effectively facilitate knowledge management (KM) activities has been an important research area. To contribute to the theoretical and practical developments in this research area, this study empirically examined the causal relationships among the use of strategic performance measurement systems (SPMS), organizational learning, information systems (IS) strategic alignment, IT infrastructure for KM, competitive applications of knowledge resources, and organizational performance. Through structured questionnaires, empirical data were collected from 117 Korean manufacturing firms that are listed on the Korean stock market. To analyze the empirical data, regression analyses were employed. The results of this study showed that SPMS significantly and positively influences organizational learning and IS strategic alignment. The strategic communications and dialogues between members of an organization, which are provided by SPMS, may enhance the degrees of IS strategic alignment. According to the results, it was found that both organizational learning and IS strategic alignment have significant and positive effects on the adoption of IT infrastructure for KM. Thus, the clear directions of IT development, which are formed through IS strategic alignment, seem to shape the goal orientations of members in a firm, and the organizational learning that is built with SPMS seems to enhance members' collaborations in the construction of IT infrastructure. This study also showed that when the degrees of IS strategic alignment are high, the effects of IT infrastructure on the competitive applications of knowledge resources are partially greater than under the low levels of IS strategic alignment. Finally, it was observed that the competitive usage of knowledge asset has a positive impact on the performance of an organization.

“…Additionally, the ACCE accreditation requires a specific course outcome related to using modern technology to solve construction related problems through the use of computers in the scheduling of construction projects. It has become increasingly essential for students pursuing a career in the construction industry to have an understanding of Project Management Software (PMS) [7][8][9][10] . Therefore, it is required and vital to the students' education to learn how to use modern PMS.…”

“…A recent study has shown that since 2000, over 95% of construction companies use PMS for control and planning of their daily activities 11 . Multiple studies show that if present companies want to compete in today's market, they must become adaptive and use information technology systems such as PMS [7][8][9][10] . There are a few PMS available for use in the construction industry and of these there exist two favored PMS packages; Primavera and Microsoft Project [7][8][9][10][11] .…”

A peer-teaching method has been implemented in Construction Project Management Scheduling (CPMS) course that focuses on Project Management Software (PMS) learning. The two graduate students, who had recently graduated from our undergraduate programs and were enrolled in the CPMS course were required to learn and teach the PMS package, Primavera, (as their course project) to the remaining undergraduate students in the course. This learning method promotes topic retention, as the student is required to be the expert on the topic. The students were only required to teach this one topic, which consisted of one class period (~2hrs). The results were verified through in-course surveys, objectively comparing assignment grades from a professor taught PMS (Microsoft Project), and graduate student reflection summary. The results show that the graduate students not only enjoyed teaching the topic, but they feel that their comprehension had increased by the employed teaching method. Additionally, the results show that the undergraduates students' learning was not adversely affected by having their fellow students provide instruction on software usage. The survey also indicates that the undergraduate students preferred the peer-teaching method to standard professor lecture and demonstration. The paper concludes with recommendations for future work.
