Behavioral operations: The state of the field

Journal of Operations Management

The field of behavioral operations has matured into an established area within the discipline of operations management. The field fills an essential void by laying the micro-foundations for the broader discipline of operations management. As such, the field examines a variety of topics and is methodologically diverse.

Security and Privacy in Outsourcing with Customer-Specified Risk Tolerance

eJeta.org Special Issue. Emerging Security Paradigms in the Knowledge Era

Outsourcing coupled with technology that enables data to reside anywhere has opened up new challenges to the protection of personal privacy. Privacy laws differ internationally as does the value different cultures place on personal privacy. Such differences have implications for government as well as businesses. The corporation must be aware of the security efforts of all its partners and consumers must be aware of the security of all service providers in the extended value chain, not just the business they are interacting with directly. In this paper we propose a method for controlling risks associated with spreading personal information across an extended value chain. In addition, this method accommodates customer-specified levels of risk tolerance. For businesses, the goal is to minimize the cost of securing data spread across vendors and international boundaries.

What makes corporate wikis work? wiki affordances and their suitability for corporate knowledge work

Design Science Research in Information Systems. Advances in Theory and Practice

Wikis were originally intended for knowledge work in the open Internet environment, and there seems to be an inherent tension between wikis' affordances and the nature knowledge work in organizations. The objective of this paper is to investigate how tailoring wikis to corporate settings would impact users' wiki activity. We begin by synthesizing prior works on wikis' design principles; identifying several areas where we anticipate high tension between wikis' affordances and organizational work practices.
