Several studies have shown the value of categorization schemes such as the DeSanctis and Poole (1994) typologies of appropriation moves in illuminating aspects of technology adoption and use (e.g. Poole and DeSanctis, 1992; DeSanctis, et al, 1993; Chudoba, 1999). The DeSanctis and Poole typology has served as both sensitizing categories for the recognition of appropriation moves and as a tool f...

Although Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have been addressed in terms of their implementation and availability (Frantzreb, 1986; Magnus & Thomesen, 1986 ), purpose (Johnson, Moorhead, & Griffin, 1983; Nardoni, 1985), and current status (DeSanctis, 1986; Magnus & Grossman, 1985; Moore & Clavadetscher, 1985) future directions for such systems have for the most part been ignored. HRIS ar...

The forward Compton scattering amplitudes for carbon and lead have been calculated from total photoabsorption cross section data by using dispersion relations. The results show a large difference between the scattering amplitudes for nuclei and the free nucleon, above the ∆ region. Difference partially supported by Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient́ıfico e Tecnológico CNPq, Brazil. DESA...

Data representations and their impact on decision making performance have been a subject of Information Systems research for a long time [Benbasat et al. 86, DeSanctis 84, DeSanctis & Jarvenpaa 89, Vessey 91]. The graphical representations in most studies in this area are common business charts, such as pie, line, bar, among others. These charts are not necessarily designed to support any speci...

Over the past decade, groupware technologies, such as email, electronic bulletin boards, and group support systems, have become an important part of the businesscomputing infrastructure in many organizations. This evolving software category has captured the attention and imagination of information technology professionals, line of business managers and end users, not to mention software supplie...

Individuals are increasingly using hedonic systems for utilitarian purposes. While IS research has thoroughly investigated the ability to derive hedonic pleasure from utilitarian systems, the need has arisen to research utilitarian gains from hedonic systems. This study describes the shift from hedonic to utilitarian as a spiritual adaptation, derived from Desanctis and Poole’s (1994) Adaptive ...

Advocates of a core of IS research have cautioned about a lack of legitimacy, specifically the “cognitive legitimacy” (Benbasat and Zmud, 2003), of the IS field and have even questioned the survival of the field (Agarwal and Lucas, 2005), raising questions as to what should constitute IS research – its boundaries, and the discipline’s core. Some authors maintain that IS researchers have avoided...
