As its name suggests, an enterprise system encompasses a total view of all parts (functions, sub‐systems) of the complete whole (organization, system). This approach of designing solutions for system component within the overall framework of the total system offers unique challenges and opportunities for designing, developing and implementing information systems. To meet its mandate, information systems education should offer a multidisciplinary learning environment especially in engineering and sciences curriculum where it is not adequately emphasized. A framework that is designed to deliver a comprehensive learning environment for the entire academic community has been proposed. 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/95033 A Web‐Based Instructional Module for Research and Learning in Design and Analysis of Enterprise Systems Chandra, Charu; Kumar, Sameer This paper describes an instructional module designed to create a repository for introducing students and industry practitioners to enterprise systems. A web‐based design was used to make the module scalable, utilizing Internet capabilities and adapting a systemic approach to disseminate information on research projects. Important characteristics of a web site for organizing information are described. A generic web design problem is outlined and a case study on supply chain management is illustrated. Uses of the module on curricula that satisfy cognitive goals of enterprise system education are discussed. The module offers extensibility to incorporate live applications through the web site. 2001-04-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/69015 Income, Consumption, and Subjective Well-Being: Toward a Composite Macromarketing Model Ahuvia, Aaron C.; Friedman, Douglas This article reviews, critiques, and integrates three psychological perspectives on the relationship between wealth and subjective well-being. First, the comparative perspective holds that life satisfaction results from a comparison of one's own financial position to that of some reference group or material norm. Second, the goal attainment perspective looks at money as a potential source of well-being by enabling people to attain goals they set. Finally, the hedonic perspective looks at how money leads to well-being by enabling people to use their time in more satisfying ways. In addition to providing a critical analysis, this article integrates these three perspectives into a single composite model. This model explains the mechanisms linking income and other material resources with the cognitive and affective elements of subjective well-being. The model also clarifies why income has only a modest relationship to subjective well-being. 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/68689 Examining the Market Orientation-Performance Relationship: A Context-Specific Study Kumar, Kamalesh; Subramanian, Ram; Yauger, Charles This study developed a comprehensive measure of market orientation and examined the market orientation-performance relationship in the health care industry. A survey of 159 hospitals yielded a strong positive relationship between market orientation and various measures of organizational performance. Additionally, the study found that market turbulence, competitive hostility, and supplier power moderated the market orientation-performance relationship. 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z
