Advances in emerging ICT have enabled organisations to develop innovative ways to intelligently collect data that may not be possible before. However, this leads to the explosion of data and unprecedented challenges in making strategic and effective use of available data. This research-in-progress paper presents an action research focusing on applying business intelligence (BI) in a UK higher e...

In this paper we propose an extension to the Dependency Network Diagram (DND) technique. We revisit the DND technique to discuss its ability to facilitate the strategic management of cross-organizational ICT-resource collaborations, which are increasingly paramount to achieving sustained competitive advantage. Predicated on resource dependence theory, we operationalize the constructs of power a...

Research in Western Australian schools and reports from studies across the nation over the past decade have supported international research to find that the leadership of a school is a critical factor in the way in which of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) are used, and their subsequent impact on teaching and learning. This paper discusses this relationship by drawing on a range...
