Abstract: Business competition and growth in the Information age is fuelled by rapid innovation of Information Systems. In turn, business leaders' demand rapid Information System (IS) adaption that would enable all stakeholders even in the small part of the organization to take advantage of innovation. Therefore, organizations upgrade in order to keep abreast with competitors in the global market. In addition, there is often a lack of commitment to IS change programmes from employees who may even go to the extent of resisting Information Systems change initiatives. In this article the author is investigating the associations and impact of IS change communication and understanding worth of IS change on commitment to IS change in the construction industry using a survey research design. Results indicate that both communicating IS change and understanding of worth of IS change are moderately related to commitment to IS change. Moreover, regression analysis results proved that understanding worth of IS change is a better predictor for commitment to IS change when compared to communicating IS change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Information Systems Plan (ISP) is increasingly becoming an instrument for success in the knowledge economy. Different types of organizations are adopting ISP, if they have not done so already. Organisations also invest money and time in the formulation of an effective Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP) to ensure that ISP investment actually contributes to the achievement of organizational objectives. However, even the best SISP would not yield the desired business results, if the people involved lack relevant knowledge to execute the strategic plan. This article investigates the role of knowledge transfer in improving SISP success. Firstly, a data reduction technique was used to extract factors that measure the impact of knowledge transfer on SISP success. Then, a correlation and predictability analysis was performed to determine which of the factors contribute most to predictability of SISP success. The results reveal that all factors together yield a better R-value, than each factor individually. The findings contribute to the development of resource allocation strategy and the development of knowledge transfer programmes that would improve SISP implementation in organisations that have resources constraints [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The South African Government adopted a policy for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) migration in the public sector in 2003. This FOSS policy was extended to include open content in 2006. Notwithstanding, levels of FOSS adoption within the public sector in South Africa are still low (Mosoval et al., 2006; Mtsweni & Bierman, 2008). Although a number of papers have been written on FOSS, there is not enough literature discussing its actual implementation of FOSS (Waring & Maddock, 2005). This paper adopts a strategic management perspective to discussing FOSS migration within the South African public sector. The organic model for strategic management developed by Farjoun (2002) is use to demonstrate implications for FOSS migration amongst all South African Government Departments (includes more than 1000 sites).
