“…This paper also calls for more papers rigorously conducted at multiple levels of analysis given that there have been very few researchers conducted multi-level empirical studies, and many of them [e.g 85, 94] did not account for the effects of interdependencies between individuals [153]. To understand the dependence of BI business value on organizational structure [33], changes [13], resources allocation [69], and orchestration [154].…”

Much of the research on Business Intelligence (BI) has examined the ability of BI systems to help organizations address challenges and opportunities. However, the literature is fragmented and lacks an overarching framework to integrate findings and systematically guide research. Moreover, researchers and practitioners continue to question the value of BI systems. This study reviews and synthesizes empirical Information System (IS) studies to learn what we know, how well we know, and what we need to know about the processes of organizations obtaining business value from BI systems. The study aims to identify which parts of the BI business value process have been studied and are still most in need of research, and to propose specific research questions for the future. The findings show that organizations appear to obtain value from BI systems according to the process suggested by Soh and Markus (1995), as a chain of necessary conditions from BI investments to BI assets to BI impacts to organizational performance; however, researchers have not sufficiently studied the probabilistic processes that link the necessary conditions together. Moreover, the research has not sufficiently covered all relevant levels of analysis, nor examined how the levels link up. Overall, the paper identified many opportunities for researchers to provide a more complete picture of how organizations can and do obtain value from BI.

“…Despite this major focus on GSS, research has also highlighted that AST may serve as a metatheory (Bostrom, Gupta, & Thomas, 2009) for understanding other complex information systems, such as LMS (Tennant et al, 2014) or massive open online courses (MOOCs) (Whitaker, New, & Ireland, 2016) that are applied in sociotechnical systems. Though in the past usually used on a group level, AST serves as a multilevel theory (Bélanger, Cefaratti, Carte, & Markham, 2014), and researchers have applied it particularly in a TML context on an individual level to understand how individuals use IT in their learning process (Gupta & Bostrom, 2013;Hardin, Looney, & Fuller, 2014). The appropriation process is a central construct in the learning process that complements content acquisition (Gupta & Bostrom, 2013).…”

Abstract:IT support in the learning process constitutes a key factor for the success of innovative teaching/learning scenarios. To ensure learning success in innovative teaching/learning scenarios, learners need to faithfully apply learning management systems (LMS). However, we lack theoretical insights into which factors affect whether they do so. To help solve this issue, we first used adaptive structuration theory to identify antecedents and consequences regarding faithful LMS appropriation and embed them into a theoretical model. Second, we conducted a survey study with 173 participants to evaluate the model. The results show that the perceived IT support, interactivity, and the tasktechnology fit significantly affect the degree to which learners faithfully apply a LMS. Moreover, the results indicate that faithful appropriation is a significant indicator of the learning process satisfaction as well as perceived learning success. The present paper thus theoretically contributes to the scientific discussion concerning technology-mediated learning processes while also making a practical contribution by deriving implications for LMS application.

“…In doing so, researchers could explore actual privacy violations and their consequences and factors that lead to organizational practices regarding information privacy. Furthermore, rather than considering information privacy at each unit of analysis, there is a need for research that explores the inter‐dependencies of information privacy determinants and outcomes across levels of analysis, including in dyadic relationships, group level information privacy, organizational privacy or societal information privacy (Bélanger et al, ). Contextual nature of privacy . There has been a recent call for research to investigate the contextual nature of privacy (Nissenbaum, ).…”
