This thesis concerns the electronic data interchange (EDI) which is being used for transferring information between organisations in the supply chain. The benefits and barriers of using EDI are highlighted throughout the introduction stage of our research work. In spite of the evident advantages of the EDI system, it has been emphasised by many researches and practitioners that the implementati...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the existence and the importance of the distinction between self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism in the Eating Disorder Inventory Perfectionism subscale (EDI-P). METHOD Trait perfectionism, measured by the EDI-P, and eating disorder symptoms, measured by the 26-item Eating Attitudes Test, were examined in 220 university stu...

This study was undertaken to identify antecedents of user satisfaction with EDI systems by surveying key end users of EDI in a variety of firms across the United States. Although there is much empirical evidence about factors underlying EDI adoption and implementation, there is little information from the perspective of the end user. The vast majority of what we know about EDI success (or failu...

In practice a growing number of companies report negative impacts of using EDI, which are attributed to the impact of poor data quality. This result is in contrast with current EDI theory, which shows that EDI leads to less data entry errors and hence to a positive role of data quality in EDI. Based on the current literature on data quality and communication, this paper develops a theory on the...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare images of the retina and choroid obtained with Spectralis 1050-nm spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with and without enhanced depth imaging (EDI) to the commercially available 870-nm SD-OCT with and without EDI. METHODS Full-length 30° line scans were obtained with both 870- and 1050-nm Spectralis OCT instruments, with and w...

ters to move through several stages in order to reach a similar level of understanding as sponsors. Both differences in characteristics and differences in stage of the diffusion process explain the existence of a sponsoradopter gap. Sponsors tend to be innovators who, in addition, are at an advanced stage in their understanding of the systems; adopters can be anything from innovators to laggard...
