Interdependence between the subsystems of an enterprise is one of the driving reasons for integrating the enterprise. Integration attempts to manage those interdependencies so all subsystems work harmoniously together to achieve the enterprise goals. Prior to embarking on an enterprise integration project the interdependencies need to be analyzed. Unfortunately, interdependence between subsyste...

Researchers now regularly estimate spatial models in applied political science, both to enhance the validity of their “direct” (i.e., non-spatial) covariate effect estimates and to test explicitly spatial theories. While this is a welcome advance over past practices, we worry that much of this first generation of applied spatial research overlooks certain aspects of spatial models. In particula...

As the team-based structure is prevalent in modern organizations, it is promising to address the key problem of how to promote individuals to engage in knowledge sharing. Drawing upon the interdependence theory and social identity/self-categorization theory, this study develops a research model to elaborate how interdependence designs, including task and goal interdependence, elevate individual...

There are two types of destination interdependence; one arises because of people's preferences towards destination activities, and the other because of the locational arrangement of space. Destination interdependence affects spatial behaviour. In a previous paper it was shown that the conventional gravity model can handle neither aspect of destination interdependence. In this paper it is shown ...

We test the hypothesis that superficial knowledge interdependence is more effective in fostering individual learning from collaboration than the true knowledge interdependence often realized by jigsaw-type collaboration arrangements. Based on research on group informationprocessing, we argue for the benefits of distributing only contextual information, but not core principles between learners, ...

This research investigates the moderating role of task interdependence on factors influencing information security effectiveness in organizations. Drawing on the literature, the authors develop a theoretical model depicting top management support and awareness & training support as predictors of information security program effectiveness. Further, the model shows security culture as a partial m...

A Social Network Game (SNG) is a type of online game which is operated mainly through social networks. Recently, the SNG has enjoyed dramatically growth worldwide. Aiming at understanding game players’ motivation and gaming experience, this study proposes a theoretical model that explores the roles of social tie and interdependence on gaming experience and responses. Self-efficacy and group eff...
