Application of information technology in creative economy: Manufacturing vs. creative industries
2015, Technological Forecasting and Social ChangeCitation Excerpt :The principal factors include differential efficiency in the development of IT and levels of customer switching costs. Sethi et al. (1993) carefully examined the ranking criteria and overall effectiveness of the index developed by Computerworld. Organizational strategic and economic performance measures such as sales by employee, return on sales, sales by total assets, return on investment, and market to book value were affected by IT investment measures such as IT budget, revenue percentage, the percentage of IT budget spent on employee training, the number of PCs per employee, and IT value as a percentage of revenue (Mahmood and Mann, 1993).

2012, Computers in Human BehaviorCitation Excerpt :However, the new media have not actually brought the expected efficiencies to these organizations (Fulk & DeSanctis, 1995; Malhotra, 1997). Research related to the incompetence of computer-based applications in organizations has been conducted in the past (e.g., DeLone & McLean, 1992; DeLone, McLean, & Big Island, 2002; Pitt & Watson, 1997; Seddon, Staples, Patnayakuni, & Bowtell, 1998; Sethi, Hwang, & Pegels, 1993; Stebbins, 2001). One research study focuses on users’ acceptance of applications, since a premise of determining the success of a technology is based on people’s acceptance and decision to use that technology (Hu, Chau, Sheng, & Tam, 1999; Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003).

2008, Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation ReviewCitation Excerpt :In theory, supply chain management initiatives, such as IS, CRP, and VMI, can be categorized as IOSs. Research has shown that IOSs, as links between suppliers and buyers, can improve a firm’s performance and bring it competitive advantages (Bakos, 1991; Cash and Konsynski, 1985; Clemons and McFarlan, 1986; Palmer and Markus, 2000; Premkumar and Ramamurthy, 1995; Sethi et al., 1993; Srinivasan et al., 1994). Specifically, in conjunction with supply chain management, studies show that reduced inventory represents one of the major benefits of the implementation of IOSs, either enabled by EDI or through Internet technologies (Choudhury et al., 1998; Daugherty et al., 1999; Dresner et al., 2001; Lee and Whang, 2000; Mukhopadhyay et al., 1995; Premkumar, 2000; Raghunathan, 1999; Stank et al., 1999; Strader et al., 1999; Waller et al., 1999).
