“…Gopal et al [20], p. 65 conclude that adaptive structuration theory aids in understanding ''the complexities of interaction between technology, groups, and tasks'' that result in variations in how GSS are used. In a different context, Furomo and Melcher [18] use adaptive structuration theory to analyze an enterprise resource planning implementation. In this study, changes in task structure (more difficult tasks requiring interaction across departments) are linked to problems rooted in social structure (user roles) such that the user roles that facilitated the previous system were not reinforced for the new system.…”

“…Previous studies have used adaptive structuration theory to explore group support systems [20] and explain why some enterprise resource planning projects are unsuccessful [18]. Group support systems (GSS) combine communication and computer technologies to support meetings and group activities that may include decision-making, and the theory provides variables that are useful to describe GSS processes.…”

“…Adaptive structuration theory is used in previous research to describe group support systems [20] and enterprise resource planning systems [18] that are developed by organizations to improve tasks and processes. Adaptive structuration theory considers how a system changes, how use of a system changes, and how an organization changes as a results of using the system.…”

Adoption of social networking sites: an exploratory adaptive structuration perspective for global organizations

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research assesses the strategic adoption of social media by large global organizations. To contribute to a better understanding of the topic, this exploratory study analyzed social networking sites used by 72 large global companies, and conducted a survey and follow-up interviews with high-level managers from these companies. Our analysis of social networking sites identifies and characterizes the types of social media used, as well as the various organizational purposes for the use of social media. Our exploratory survey and interviews yielded a deeper level of understanding of the adoption of social networking sites by organizations. We employed management fashion theory and adaptive structuration theory to characterize the ways in which advanced information technology can bring about organizational change. Our findings indicate that there is an increased use of social media and social networking sites by organizations that results in the form of passive or active, proactive or reactive, and tactical or strategic uses.

“…Data were collected in accordance with the case study protocol by using multiple sources (Eisenhardt, 1989;Furumo & Melcher, 2006;Yin, 1989). Four source types were used: interviews with a designer and operator of the Cybershelter service and a professor specialized in cyber security policies; various reports published by KISA and the Korean government; academic papers; and newspaper articles.…”

Value Creation and Value Capture: The Case of Cybershelter for Information Systems Security in South Korea

Value creation and value capture are useful concepts in evaluating the value of innovations because the spillover effects are clearly identified through the separation between value creation and value capture. The concepts also provide relevant framework for appraising the performance of public service that have low appropriability. This study introduces a case of successful cyber security innovation in South Korea named Cybershelter. It is a public service introduced by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) to protect vulnerable small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Once Cybershelter is introduced, the potential values are captured by primary beneficiaries (SMEs) as well as secondary groups. It results in spillover effects, such as: (a) quality improvement and revenue increases for firms, (b) manufacture of security equipment and provision of new related or similar services by the private sector, (c) adoption of similar protection systems by other public organizations, and (d) strengthening KISA's capabilities.

“…In the meantime, less and less people grasping the language of legacy systems can be found with the development of new programming language and software systems [4]. However, many enterprises having invested heavily in legacy systems want to fmd ways to integrate them with the newer system instead of scraping them [5].…”

Abstract. SOA is a very important guiding theory in constructing infonnation systems recently, the design granularity of infonnation systems will gradually evolve from module to component. At rust, this paper shows a SOA oriented infonnation system architecture based on web services. Then it points out that getting web services reasonably and legally is the primaIY problem in the process of this architecture's realization. According to the different managers of web services, this paper proposes three possible operational mechanisms of web services: (I) Web Service predominant characteristic mechanism guided by large enterprises, (2) Web Services portal mechanism guided by industrial category, (3) Web Service Unifonn Alliance (WSUA) mechanism. These three mechanisms may exist and compete with each other at the same time. And the authors think that the ideal operational mechanism is to build a Web Service Uniform Alliance from the perspective of utilizing and saving global intellectual resources.
