PublicationSelf-Service Management Support Systems : Findings from a New-Generation Manager Perspective(Springer International Publishing, 2015)New-generation managers are increasingly populating organizations' management. They consist of digital natives who grew up with Information Systems (IS) and digital immigrants who learned to engage with IS as adults. Today, such managers have to make faster decisions than in the past and find themselves more and more in mobile IS use situations. These requirements combined with managers' ability to use IS themselves result in the need for self-service Management Support Systems (MSS). This article develops a more business-driven design for such MSS. In doing so, we propose both a rigor set of requirements and initial design guidelines to start further discussion. The utility of these guidelines is demonstrated with a mobile-first prototype on a modern business intelligence platform: the Corporate Navigator app.

PublicationA First Perspective on Requirements of New-Generation Managers for Collaboration Technology to be Integrated into Management Support Systems(AIS Electronic Library (AISeL), 2013-12-15)Companies today are mostly populated by new-generation managers-consisting of digital natives and digital immigrants. New-generation managers have expanded their role in operations and have to make decisions faster than in the past. Management support systems (MSS) serve as managers' central, hands-on, day-to-day source of information. Thus, the present situation is favorable for redesigning MSS in two respects: On the one hand, new-generation managers' faster decision making is driving a new demand for self-service MSS. Unlike earlier MSS, self-service MSS accommodate individual user preferences and increasingly enable managers to operate MSS themselves. On the other hand, as companies become larger and more dispersed, face-to-face meetings and even telephone calls become less practical, but new collaboration technology is becoming increasingly important.

PublicationApplicability of Environmental Scanning Systems : A Systematic List Approach to Requirements Criteria(Springer International Publishing, 2015)The increasing volatility of their companies environment is a growing concern for executives. Environmental scanning systems should enable them to focus earlier on emerging threats and opportunities. A lack of applicability means that concepts often go unused in practice. But what does applicability mean for environmental scanning systems design? Adhering to the design science paradigm, this article contributes to better information systems (IS) design by developing a systematic list approach to requirements criteria that specify the applicability of environmental scanning systems. The criteria are derived from the principle of economic efficiency, use findings from the absorptive capacity theory, and can be applied to both evaluate existing environmental scanning systems and develop a new, more applicable generation. The findings should also be applicable to other IS domains.
