Internet has profoundly transformed almost all aspects of our society. As a global phenomenon, Internet also bears distinct regional and cultural profiles. Much research has documented the Internet usage in Western world and its impacts on individuals. However evidence in this regards is dearth in Arab world, which represents an important but unique cultural region. In this study, we take an explo...<br/><br/>Kathy Shen, Maha Shakir (2009) <i>European and Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems (EMCIS), Izmir, Turkey</i> 1-10<br/>

This study explores the ways UAE women are using, benefiting from, and are affected by information technology (IT). IT has an important role for individuals, businesses, and societies. However, a great deal of published research is focused on business. In this paper, our focus is on the less researched aspect which is female individuals and the society they live in. A survey of female nationals at...<br/><br/>Maha Shakir, Kathy Shen, Shahper Vodanovich, Cathy Urquhart (2008) <i>European and Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems (EMCIS), Dubai, UAE</i> 1-10<br/>

Information Communications Technologies (ICTs) have become a potent force in transforming social, economic, and political life globally. As Avgerou & Walsham (2000) assert, ICTs have the potential to aid economic growth and the improvement of social conditions in the world. However, the transference of this vital knowledge to women in some Middle Eastern countries is hindered on two fronts.

Large organizations gain substantial benefits from implementing e-procurement initiatives however results are very much dependant on vendors’ participation -- high participation means more benefits. However, vendor participation is often constrained by factors such as low IT maturity, high upfront expenses, fear of increasing competition, and unconvincing value proposition, particularly for the ...<br/><br/>Maha Shakir (2007) <i>Business, Information and Management Academy (BIMA), Sharjah, UAE</i> <br/>

Information systems provide many opportunities for businesses to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations through the integration of business systems. While the majority of information systems in the past were focused on applications within the boundaries of the enterprise, the focus is gradually shifting outwards.

A main inhibitor to electronically extending supply chains is that large organizations and the majority of their smaller business partners have incompatible business systems. Big businesses' sophisticated IT infrastructures support many kinds of information integration, manipulation, and reporting, whereas many small to medium businesses (SMBs) use IT only for simple clerical tasks.

This study provides an understanding of the organisational change that accompanies enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementations. While there is general agreement in the literature that organisational change through IT integration – technochange – is a key outcome to any ERP implementation, there is little evidence on how this change happens.
