The aim of this research is to explore factors influencing the management decisions to adopt human resource information system (HRIS) in the hospital industry of Bangladesh-an emerging developing country. To understand this issue, this paper integrates two prominent adoption theories-Human-Organization-Technology fit (HOT-fit) model and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. Thirteen factors under four dimensions were investigated to explore their influence on HRIS adoption decisions in hospitals. Employing non-probability sampling method, a total of 550 copies of structured questionnaires were distributed among HR executives of 92 private hospitals in Bangladesh. Among the respondents, usable questionnaires were 383 that suggesting a valid response rate of 69.63%. We classify the sample into 3 core groups based on the HRIS initial implementation, namely adopters, prospectors, and laggards. The obtained results specify 5 most critical factors i.e. IT infrastructure, top management support, IT capabilities of staff, perceived cost, and competitive pressure. Moreover, the most significant dimension is technological dimension followed by organisational, human, and environmental among the proposed 4 dimensions. Lastly, the study found existence of significant differences in all factors across different adopting groups. The study results also expose constructive proposals to researchers, hospitals, and the government to enhance the likelihood of adopting HRIS. The present study has important implications in understanding HRIS implementation in developing countries.

Critical Factors Influencing Decision to Adopt Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in Hospitals.

This study aims to provide an overview of e-commerce adoption by SMEs in developing countries and, in particular, the extent of the adoption of e-commerce by Indonesian SMEs. It identifies the e-commerce benefits realized by these SMEs and investigates the relationship between the levels of e-commerce adoption and the benefits thus realized. The study was motivated by the limited studies related to e-commerce adoption by SMEs, especially in developing countries. In addition, it seems that most e-commerce studies are focused more on upstream issues: to see the factors that facilitate, or barriers faced regarding e-commerce adoption, rather than downstream issues: to see post-adoption benefits. This certainly limits our understanding about e-commerce adoption by SMEs in developing countries, as well as the post-adoption benefits of e-commerce. Indonesia was chosen as the place in which to conduct the study. A survey of 292 SMEs shows that the majority of them are still at an early stage in their adoption of e-commerce. Their use of e-commerce is dominated by marketing and purchasing and procurement activities. “Extending market reach”, “increased sales”, “improved external communication”, “improved company image”, “improved speed of processing”, and “increased employee productivity” are reported as the top six e-commerce benefits perceived by these SMEs. This study also shows that SMEs at the higher level of e-commerce adoption experience greater e-commerce benefits than those at other levels of adoption.

E-commerce adoption by SMEs in developing countries: evidence from Indonesia

Research aims : This study aims to examine the effect of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation on company performance with organizational capabilities as a mediating variable. Design/Methodology/Approach : This research is a quantitative study using 117 samples of manufacturing companies listed on the IDX from 2013 to 2018. Analysis and testing in this study employed SEM-PLS to test the effect of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation on company performance with organizational capabilities as a mediating variable. Research findings : The results showed that the ERP system's implementation had a significant positive effect on company performance and organizational capabilities. Organizational capabilities also had a significant positive effect on company performance. Besides, it was found that organizational capabilities mediated the relationship between ERP system implementation and company performance. Theoretical contribution/Originality : This study utilized a cybernetics approach theory, Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, and organizational capabilities theory to investigate the mediating role of organizational capabilities in increasing the impact of ERP systems on company performance. Practitioner/Policy implication : This study provides evidence that ERP implementation makes an integrated operating system and can increase organizational capabilities by utilizing existing resources, and ultimately will also increase company performance. Research limitation/Implication : In this research, it is challenging to find organizational capability measures, such as marketing capability and process improvement. This study only used one intervening variable so that the information obtained from the results is still limited.

Implementation of risk management applies not only to companies but also to universities. However, the implementation of risk management to universities is still limited and still needs improvement. This limitation is due to the absence of special units in universities dealing with risk management issues. This article focuses on the implementation of risk management at Universitas Negeri Semarang by using descriptive analysis. The results show that Internal Control Unit on Unnes has run the IIA (2009) mandate related to its participation in the implementation of risk management system by sticking to independence and objectivity. Furthermore, the implementation of three line of defenses on Universitas Negeri Semarang has not been able to be implemented. This is due to the lack of resources in the field of risk management, as well as limited scope. Therefore, it is expected that the internal control unit able to always increase their role in developing, implementing and evaluating risk management system in universities.
