“…Among others, these IT-enablers include in-memory technology, which enables managers to see their data in real-time [19] and smart devices (e.g., tablets), which offer a convenient way to access the MSSespecially in mobile IS use situations [20].…”

New-generation managers are increasingly populating organizations' management. They consist of digital natives who grew up with Information Systems (IS) and digital immigrants who learned to engage with IS as adults. Today, such managers have to make faster decisions than in the past and find themselves more and more in mobile IS use situations. These requirements combined with managers' ability to use IS themselves result in the need for self-service Management Support Systems (MSS). This article develops a more business-driven design for such MSS. In doing so, we propose both a rigorous set of requirements and initial design guidelines to start further discussion. The utility of these guidelines is demonstrated with a "mobile-first" prototype on a modern business intelligence platform: the Corporate Navigator app.

“…Topics investigated included the capabilities and applications of mobile technology (Casademont et al, 2004, Giaglis et al, 2004 or individual usage and adoption behavior (Campbell and Russo, 2003, Meso et al, 2005, Monk et al, 2004, Puuronen and Savolainen, 1997 such as consumer intentions in mobile commerce contexts (Zhang et al, 2006, Wang et al, 2006. However, these studies tended to simply evaluate technology impact on or relationship with various research contexts and, as expected, positive suggestions were predominantly made.…”

Cost efficiency has been a dominant perspective in the traditional IT literature. However, in complex technology and business environment, the widely recognized cost efficient assumption of information technology has been increasingly challenged. Drawing from a case study of wireless network implementation situated in a politically sensitive workplace, this paper provided practice insights for IT managers in today's networked economy. More specifically, stories experienced in the case study illustrated that despite well-calculated cost efficiency of wireless network infrastructure, the radical implementation process in the case organization encountered enormous challenges and opposition due to the fact that administrators failed to consider various stakeholders' positions and interests. Eventually, the implementation objectives and outcome were considerably undermined. Implications from this empirical case research reemphasized the significance of understanding political forces situated in any business environment where different stakeholders hold conflicting interests. Lessons learned from the case story further encouraged IT managers and policy makers to better strategize emerging information technology in general and wireless networks in particular as the whole global society and business environment are increasingly facing an emerging wireless world.

“…Post et al (1994) also considered both small and large firms in their investigation of IT evaluation. Puuronen & Savolainen (1997) investigated the use of another new technology and compares the use of mobile information systems in the UK, France, Italy and Finland. They found major differences that they see as being due to cultural factors.…”

This paper celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the Information Systems Journal (ISJ) and the Editors reflect on the papers that have been published over that period and the changes that have occurred in the discipline of information systems. In the opening paper of ISJ, we suggested that the 'launch of a new journal in information systems prompts thought and debate concerning the state of the subject area and some contemplation of its past and future'. We discussed three areas of this 'not-yet-established discipline': practice, education and research. In this follow-up paper, we forgo our convention of ISJ editors not publishing in the Journal. We examine the issues raised in the first paper and consider what has happened in the intervening years as charted in the ISJ. The overview is necessarily selective, probably Anglocentric (with, perhaps, a slight Francophile tinge), sometimes downright opinionated, as well as over-estimating, perhaps, the contribution of one particular IS journal.
