SaaS交易权力对质量、价格和利润的影响

软件即服务（ SaaS）是应用创新引发的软件交付模式创新,对客户而言,也是软件外包服务的创新。它以交付产品差异,定价差异以及交付方式的差异区别于传统的软件外包模式。此文应用博弈论方法,依据SaaS模式的特点,构建SaaS服务提供商与客户的博弈关系,研究双方市场交易权力悬殊与交易权力相当的情景下,SaaS服务提供商与客户的决策行为及其对整体期望利润的影响。研究发现SaaS服务提供商与客户的交易权力悬殊并不影响最优服务质量,而双方交易权力相当则会改变最优服务质量的影响因素;客户交易权力较强时可以增加社会福利;当需求量影响顾客的感知价值时,SaaS客户的剩余价值会增加,而且在特定条件下, SaaS服务提供商的利润也会增加;SaaS服务所需的硬件通过IaaS模式采购会降低SaaS服务的价格,提升SaaS服务的需求量,同时还可以保证服务质量。研究丰富了软件服务外包的理论模型,研究结论对于正在迅速发展的软件即服务乃至云计算服务提供商具有一定的决策支持作用。     

The Effect of Board of Directors’ IT Awareness on CIO Compensation and Firm Performance

Chief information officers (CIOs) play increasingly strategic roles in firms in this competitive global economy, which is now largely powered by information technology (IT). However, research has shown a lack of board of directors’ oversight on CIO‐ and IT‐related issues. Drawing on agency, resource dependence, and alignment theories, we investigate the effect of board of directors’ IT awareness on CIO compensation structure and firm performance. We conduct cross‐sectional time series analyses of data collected from various sources. Our study underlines three important findings. First, we show that some commonly known executive compensation determinants, such as individual characteristics and governance structure, do not have significant effects on CIO compensation structure. Second, with regard to CIO compensation structure, firms respond to increasing information asymmetry differently according to the level of IT awareness of their boards. Finally, firms perform better when their boards have higher levels of IT awareness, and this positive effect of IT awareness is considerably larger in IT intensive industries. Overall, our study provides empirical support for the important role of boards’ IT awareness in shaping CIO compensation and improving firm performance. Our results suggest that boards with functional area knowledge—or higher IT awareness in this case—can more effectively monitor and better incentivize executives, and consequently lead to better firm performance.     

IT人员业务能力与技术能力的互补性对企业竞争优势的影响

以资源基础观为理论指导,研究IT人员的技术能力与业务能力以及二者的协同效应对企业竞争优势的影响。在已有研究成果的基础上,构建了企业IT人员能力及其互补性与企业经营绩效关联的概念模型,通过对国内300家大中型企业的问卷调查和统计检验,验证企业IT人员的技术能力和业务能力与企业绩效都有着显著的正相关关系,而且这2种能力之间也存在较强的互补性。研究结论显示,技术能力是IT部门人员区别于其他部门的根本,业务能力使IT人员能够更好地理解企业业务,进而充分发挥IT系统的战略作用,产生的协同效应能够进一步提升企业的经营绩效。

信息技术对就业影响的微观透视

IT(信息技术)导致了工作组织形式和工作场所的重大变化,使临时工市场壮大和家庭工人劳动力市场出现,伴随IT产生了一个年龄结构偏年轻的劳动力队伍。IT职业通过取代传统职业而使就业机遇大幅增加,但其所带来的就业机会存在一定的时滞效应。IT导致了企业最优的劳动力使用策略的变化,这种变化主要是通过技术替代和人员替代的方式实现的。

Defining Expertise in Software Development While Doing Gender

The optimism regarding opportunities for women to enter the professionalization process in software development during the past years has not been fully realized and the gender gap in Germany's information technology (IT) sector still persists. Women are almost completely unrepresented in the technical fields of the German software industry, particularly in small enterprises. In this article, I firstly offer an overview of the German IT sector's development and current status. Secondly, I discuss the construction of expertise and gendered meanings in the practice of software development and related implications for the enrolment of women in this field. Gender stereotypical assumptions about expertise in the practice of software development and structural factors related to the lack of life–work balance programmes, as well as the lack of internal training in most IT companies, contribute to organizational segregation
