Discussion on the impact of IS Quality and Information Quality
What is a Research model or Research framework? • “Conceptual framework [that] guides research by providing a visual representation of [relationships between] theoretical constructs (and variables) of interest.” Source: http://web.stanford.edu/group/ncpi/unspecified/student_assess_toolkit/conceptualModels.html • “Collection of interrelated concepts… [that] guides your research, determining what things you will measure, and what statistical relationships you will look for.” Source: http://www.analytictech.com/mb313/elements.htm 2
Types of variable • Variables – Also called factors are phenomena or facts whose values can be “measured” and whose values can change. • Dependent variable – The variable you are trying to explain or predict. The variable that depends on the other variables. AKA the outcome • Independent variables - AKA predictors or explanatory variables, are the factors that you think explain variation in the dependent variable • Moderating variable – or moderator is a variable that modifies the relationship between two other variables • Indicator – What is used to measure a variable that is not directly measurable. Example: The following indicators may be used to measure a supervisor’s managerial status: number of people under their supervision, their annual budget, etc. Payroll schedule 3
Possible impact of IS and IQ • What could be the main impact or outcome of Information Quality and IS Quality? _______________________________________________ • Name possible indicators or that outcome. 4
Designing a Research framework • Based on the discussion, use the sheet provided by the instructor to design a research framework for the impact of ISQ and IQ outlining the relationships between the variables • Make sure that your research framework lists the main indicators that may be used to measure each of the variables involved. 5
