Basics of qualitative research: Grounded theory procedures and techniques

How has Japan become a major economic power, a world leader in the automotive and electronics industries? What is the secret of their success? The consensus has been that, though the Japanese are not particularly innovative, they are exceptionally skilful at imitation, at improving products that already exist. But now two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hiro Takeuchi, turn this conventional wisdom on its head: Japanese firms are successful, they contend, precisely because they are innovative, because they create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies. Examining case studies drawn from such firms as Honda, Canon, Matsushita, NEC, 3M, GE, and the U.S. Marines, this book reveals how Japanese companies translate tacit to explicit knowledge and use it to produce new processes, products, and services.

In this study the perceived value construct of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) is investigated in the context of a learning management system (LMS), in which the construct is redefined from its original price value conceptualization. It was found that many researchers simply ignore the price value construct when applying the UTAUT2 model in technology use studies in the educational context. This study extends the UTAUT2 framework by integrating the learning value construct and provides fresh insight about predictors of students’ intentions towards LMS and its use. A quantitative research approach was employed by utilizing a closed-ended questionnaire to collect data from Malaysian university students who were users of LMS. Probability proportional stratified sampling was employed to select an appropriate sample. The results indicated a good measurement and structural model fit and suggested the significant influence of performance expectancy, social influence and learning v...

The influence of learning value on learning management system use An extension of UTAUT2

In the recent era of technological advances and hyper-competition, business intelligence (BI) systems have attracted significant attention from executives and decision makers due to their ability to provide complex and competitive information inputs for the decision process. Following the world of practice, research into the adoption, utilization and success of BI systems has grown substantially over the past two decades. The literature suggests that organizations have largely failed to capture the benefits of BI systems to their full extent and are seeking ways to leverage value from the implemented systems. However, prior studies do not have any comprehensive study that discusses the issues and challenges related to adoption, utilization and success of BI systems. In this study, using a systematic literature review, we present comprehensive knowledge about what has been found in the domain of BI system adoption, utilization and success. A total of 111 peer-reviewed studies, covering three categories – adoption, utilization and success – published between 2000 and 2019, were selected. The findings present the research methods, underpinning theories and key factors employed to study BI system adoption, utilization and success. In addition, the review identified the key issues related to BI adoption, utilization and success and highlighted the areas that have attracted more or less attention. This study also suggests future directions for researchers and practitioners in terms of unexplored themes that may help organizations to obtain value from BI systems.

This study explores the intrinsic and extrinsic features of Moodle learning managements system and how these features motivate students to use an e-learning portal, which subsequently influences their perceived learning effectiveness and academic performance. Theoretical underpinning of motivation theory, self-determination theory (SDT), and cognitive evaluation theory (CET) is used to design the framework. The quantitative empirical research to test the hypothesized relationships was conducted on 276 online students in Pakistan who use Moodle for online learning. By analysing the responses using AMOS, the findings reveal that both the intrinsic motivators (communication module features, course content module features and course delivery module features) and extrinsic motivator (assignment module feature) significantly influence the students’ perceived learning effectiveness, which results in improve academic performance.

Innovation diffusion theory IDT has consistently been used to investigate users’ technology adoption. However, it neglects the influence of emotions on technology adoption. The study objectives address the integration of emotional attachment and two-dimensional self-efficacy that provides a fresh insight into the investigation of key predictors of eBook reader adoption intention. Quantitative methodology was used and questionnaire data were collected from university students. Probability proportional stratified sampling technique was used to obtain the proportionate sample. The results indicated that the relative advantage, trialability, observability, human-assisted self-efficacy, and individual self-efficacy significantly influence the adoption of eBook readers. However, emotional attachment to paper books negatively influences the relationship between user attitude towards eBook readers and adoption of eBook readers. The results indicate a good measurement model fit and confirmed the validity and reliability of the framework. The integrated framework will be useful in understanding the behavioural and emotional factors associated with the adoption of eBook readers. Moreover, a better understanding of the contributions of assisted and individual self-efficacy for the adoption of any new product or technology will be obtained. The proposed integration will help the managers before introducing a new product in the target market by considering the users’ emotional attachment to prior products.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the unique d i mensions associated with knowledge quality (KQ) based on students’ perception in an educational institution. Design/methodology/approach – Purposive sampling was used to select students who were active users of the electronic-Learning (eLearning) system at two faculties in a single university. The qualitative data gathering employed an unstructured open-ended questionnaire distributed to the 52 selected participants. Findings – The qualitative findings unearth the students’ perspective about quality of knowledge gained from content used in online courses. In total, 34 underlying sub-dimensions of KQ emerged, which were categorized into five KQ dimensions: intrinsic KQ, contextual KQ, representational KQ, accessible KQ, and actionable KQ. Research limitations/implications – The findings provide an insight to educators to consider KQ dimensions in providing quality knowledge to students in an eLearning environment. Originality/value – Previou...
