...Texas A&M University – Commerce Department of Engineering & Technology TMGT 595 – Applied Research in Engineering & Technology Descriptive Research Study & Final Manuscript Each student will select a research topic of their choice appropriate to their degree field (technology management, safety management, or management information systems). Research topics must be submitted and approved by the instructor. A research question will be formulated for the topic and a descriptive archival study will be conducted. A descriptive study does not seek to show causal effects rather it is used to establish what currently exists. Data collection is commonly performed with surveys, questionnaires, standardized tests, or other direct observation instruments. The time limitation within the course does not permit a full descriptive study to be conducted. Rather than developing instruments and collecting actual data (which should not be done), each student will utilize data and findings from related published studies to establish what currently exists for a given phenomenon. The study will culminate in the preparation of a research paper suitable for publication. Each student will investigate and identify a journal that would be appropriate for their research paper topic. Note: The paper does not have to actually be submitted for publication. ------------------------------------------------- Each assignment is to be a unique and individual project. Students...

Using the technique of a qualitative literature review, this research reviews 180 papers found in the academic literature for the period 1992–2007 dealing with some aspect of IS success. Using the six dimensions of the D&M model – system quality, information quality, service quality, use, user satisfaction, and net benefits – 90 empirical studies were examined and the results summarized. Measures for the six success...

...1. Proposed Title Role of Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in an Organization The purpose of this research is to identify business organizations that have faced human resources issues in regards to information technology. Through the study, we can learn how business organizations have handled certain human resources issues related to information technology, information systems, new technology, and data security. With the changing world and constant new technology that is available, managers need to be aware of the technology that will increase effectiveness in their organization. 2. Introduction HRIS refers to software packages that address HR needs with respect to planning, employee information access, and employer regulatory compliance. The following text begins with a discussion of human resource planning, followed by human resource management systems. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have become one of the most important tools for many businesses. Many firms do not realize how much time and money they are wasting on manual human resource management (HRM) tasks until they sit down and inventory their time. HRIS is advancing to become its own information technology (IT) field. It allows companies to cut costs and offer more information to employees in a faster and more efficient way. Especially in difficult economic times, it is critical for companies to become more efficient in every sector of their business; human resource (HR) is no exception. HRIS...

...Several concepts have developed recently relating to and possibly further defining these components of market orientation. These are concepts of the business process orientation of an organization and the impact on interdepartmental and cross functional interaction. This study develops the construct of business process orientation (BPO) as it relates to interdepartmental dynamics. It also develops and validates the measures for BPO and tests the proposed relationship of BPO to interdepartmental dynamics. Copyright( - Property of Dr. Kevin McCormack.

...methodology. While certain data provided a quantitative aspect to this research, it is noted, and stressed by the author, that this research is based on a qualitative methodology 60 Individuals within the research sample were all local and were readily available for questioning. The qualitative nature, small research area and research sampling implies that this research is neither fully complete, nor is it authoritative. Thus the research provides the reader with implications and possibilities as opposed to facts and truths. The researcher conducted a comparative analysis of the data retrieved from the semi-structured interviews. Very simple quantitative analysis and associated methods were applied. For example, if concrete data, numerical information is retrieved in meaningful amounts a quantitative analysis will be conducted. Conceivably, an interviewee may be aware of KM measures (cost savings, increased efficiencies) that impact the study that the researcher is currently unaware of. An example might be that X BDE from Y DIV saved a certain amount of money as a result of a KM initiative. A more appropriate measure might be tied to a training organization, such as a basic training unit, reporting increased transfer of training as a result of a KM initiative. Again, it is unlikely that quantitative data will be gleaned from the semi-structured interviews. An initial research assumption, which the researcher is now certain is factual, states that recorded, measurable, data associated...

...Does user involvement in information system development influence positive organisational change toward the system? This document has been prepared for reading by anyone interested in information systems and how users involvement can influence change to organisation. By Nybor Yam8 April 2013 | Introduction Information systems play a core role in business today by enabling the organisation to function effectively and efficiently. Despite applying best practices, controlled procedures and methodology’s it is quoted that two out of three IT projects will fail which is often associated with a lack of attention to the softer management practices such as culture change, organisation development and user involvement (Coombs, Doherty, Clarke 2001, Maguire, Redman 2007, Nelson, 2007). Today’s organisations must strive for systems that are technically sound, fulfil all user’s needs and provide quality results. With organisations relying more heavily on information systems to perform many of its business processes the information systems should be integrated within the organisation’s culture as well as supporting work practices (Maguire, Redman, 2007). Involving end users in the information systems development process is one approach that is much supported by a variety of literature. While it is generally accepted within literature that user involvement in information systems development does improve the prospects of the users accepting the system therefore enhancing...

...CHAPTER 2 REVIEW of RELATED LITERATURE and STUDIES This chapter is about the related literature – foreign and local which is subjected to review including previous studies relevant to this investigation. The information acquired herein is deemed adequate to establish a common backdrop for haven of the investigation. LOCAL LITERATURE As a rule in the school of Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST), they recommend the student’s study habit should have at least three hours and one and a half hour out of class for every hour spent in class. The students must have a special or specific place for that study habit hour and the students should not be cramped. They presuppose that study time will go better if a learner will take a few minutes to freshen things up and they must have everything or their books maybe before they will begin. Students are not suggested to spend on time jumping up and down to get things. The Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) also suggests that distracting noise should be minimized however they said that there are some people need sound and some like silence. In this case, a learner must find what works for him or her. Moreover, adjustment by the students of Hospitality Management in Study Habits and Academic Performance must be prioritized their schooling otherwise their Study Habits can affect their Academic Performance that influenced their activities that...
