Identifying and Explaining Risk Factors Associated with
Many information systems projects are classified as failures because time/budget overruns or they do not meet user's expectations. In this paper we examine the influence of culture on the propensity for these factors to occur in a software development context. This study seeks to investigate the environmental dynamics within IS projects in Thailand, a country whose development lags that of west...

متن کاملExplaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملExplaining contradictory relations between risk perception and risk taking.
Different studies have documented opposite relations between perceived risk and behavior. The present study tested a theoretical explanation that reconciles these conflicting results. Adolescents (N= 596) completed alternative measures of risk perception that differed in cue specificity and response format. As predicted by fuzzy-trace theory, measures that emphasized verbatim retrieval and quan...
