In some cases, cognitive diversity has been shown to improve firm performance, in other cases, it has worsened firm performance. Either way, it is useful to understand the cognitive diversity of a top management team. However, most approaches to measure cognitive diversity never attempt to open the “black box” to understand what makes up the cognitive diversity of the team. This research reports on an approach that identifies diverse belief structures, i.e., cognitive factions, through the use of causal mapping and cluster analysis. The results show that the use of causal mapping provides an efficient and effective way to identify idiosyncratic and shared knowledge among members of a top management team. This approach allows the cognitive diversity of the top management team to not only to be uncovered, but also to be understood.

However, several practitioners and researchers argue these projects could actually be considered successful if we used a broader definition of software development project success. Answering the call for further research on what makes ISD projects successful, this paper describes the process used to build the theoretical model of ISD Success, which includes a thorough literature review to create an initial model followed by semi-structured interviews conducted to validate the model and to allow for the discovery of emergent constructs, sub-constructs, and hypotheses. The end result of this research is the theoretical model of ISD success. After subsequent research has established the links from ISD success to IS success, project professionals will be able to use the ISD Success to predict success of an ISD project. Early prediction may allow professionals to head off potentially unsuccessful systems

Accordingly, Russell et al. (12) present a detailed strategy for optimizing halftime practices; including, a brief (3-4 min) period of re-warm up (RWU). However, Towlson et al. (13) found that there are limitations to the application of a RWU during competition.

Participants were 7 female collegiate players. Each day, training and match loads were recorded during a six-day period that included two competitive matches (separated by 66 hrs) using a GPS, acceleration, and heart rate monitoring and perceptual recovery scores. Gait was examined before each training session, during a 400m run at comfortable pace. Spatiotemporal characteristics were computed using continuous wavelet transform and gait complexity was assessed with detrended fluctuation analysis. High match load (HML) players played more Accepted Article This article is protected by copyright.

During this period, greater accumulated TotDist and recovery scores were associated with decreases in the gait fractal scaling index (r =-0.5 to-0.83), despite little change in spatiotemporal characteristics. This study indicates increased load during a 6-day period of training and matches alters gait complexity. It is possible that some aspect of central and/or peripheral fatigue alters motor control leading to less structured gait variability.

The recent advances in visualization technologies provide the capability to begin to use human visual/spatial abilities to solve the abstract problems found in business. If business problems can be visualized with an appropriate representation, then it may be possible to use innate spatial/visual abilities to allow the business decision-maker to separate the "wheat from the chaff." This tutorial surveys the issues related to applying visualization technologies to business problem solving.

However, learning OO techniques can be a difficult process. This study investigates students' perceptions of the difficulties in learning and using OO techniques. Two groups of students who had recently completed a sixteen-week course on OO systems development participated in the study. Cognitive mapping techniques implemented with Group Support System (GSS) technology were used to gather information on the students' perceptions. The groups used the GSS to identify what was difficult about learning and using OO techniques, classify these concepts into categories, rank the relative importance of each category, and determine the relationships among the categories. Importance rankings of the categories show that learning basic object concepts was most important to and most difficult for the students, followed by design issues and programming techniques. Composite cognitive maps of the shared perceptions of group members suggest that educators and industry trainers can reduce the difficulties of learning OO concepts by teaching simplified methodologies and controlling difficulties of the programming environment.

But developing such maps is a resource intensive activity. To reduce required resources, group support system (GSS) technology is proposed as an aid in uncovering cognitive maps. A GSS session was used to develop a cognitive map of users' of object-oriented (OO) techniques perceptions of OO system complexity. Seven participants identified concepts and categories, categorized the concepts, rated category importance, and defined relationships between categories. The data collected and analyses performed provide the basis for a cognitive map of the participants' perceptions of OO system complexity. A comparison with similar individual cognitive mapping results supports further investigation of using the GSS approach for identifying perceptions of complexity.

The mismatch between business processes that an organisation desires and the business process provided by ERP systems can be unproductive and dysfunctional due to the inherent lack of flexibility offered by ERP systems. Business components-based design provides the flexibility to enhance better matches between 'real' business processes and 'systems' embedded business processes. Although business component-based design affords more flexibility, there exist significant implementation challenges including the lack of availability of business components in the market. Traditional business components-based design use object oriented design techniques that use a bottom-up approach. In this research, we use a business process driven design approach using business components for customer relationship management (CRM) systems, a type of enterprise system. Using a case study, we demonstrate the benefits and challenges of using a business components-based design methodology to build CRM systems and apply it to the development of call centre automation (CCA) software.

The result may be underutilization of relevant information. Advances in information visualization technologies provide an effective alternative to address the current and future volume of accounting information. This chapter addresses the theoretical background of visualizations, describing the literature that supports the use of visualizations. The application of information visualization to accounting is discussed, followed by a description of variety multidimensional visualizations techniques.
