- Description: M.Tech. (Information Technology) , This study conceptualises the effects of socio-organisational factors during Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations and the impact these have towards ERP system security. Social Exchange Theory (SET) is applied in the study. SET is premised on the notion that there is a reward exchange between actors, the main purpose being to maximise benefits and minimise costs to the different actors involved in the ERP implementation. The study looks at SET‟s three independent socio-constructive factors: exchange relations, dependency and power in relation to ERP system security. Pertinent discourse dwells on power and exchange relations that occur during an ERP implementation and how these relations influence information security. Potential benefits and risks towards information security are examined across these relations. The research is quantitative in nature and a survey was directed to people involved in ERP implementations. The study contributes to the discipline by developing a framework for conceptualising the relationship between power, dependency and exchange relations applicable during an ERP implementation. The main goal would be for such a model to be useful for ERP system security. The main findings from this study are that some of the socio-organisational factors like Expert Power, Referent Power, Coercive Power and Exchange Relations influence the implementation of Information Security during ERP implementations. Socio-organisational factors like Reward Power, Positional Power and Dependency were found to have no influence or minimal influence on the implementation of Information Security during ERP implementations.

Conceptualising antecedents of systems innovation on information security risks

- Description: Abstract : This research represents a comprehensive conceptualisation of antecedents of systems innovation and how they affect systems innovation in an organisational context. It further examines the relationship between information security risks and systems innovation. Antecedents of systems innovation are identified based on the existing theories such as Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) and Organisational Innovation. This research makes use of new systems and technologies which include Big Data/Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual/Augmented reality and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to examine organisations strides towards systems innovation. This research is underpinned by the increase in systems innovation and the growing concerns of information security risks faced by organisations. A quantitative method of analysis was used to analyse data using statistical methods with a view to identify relationships between variables. Data collected shows that systems and technology must have increased benefits in order to be adopted and the complexity of systems does not affect the adoption of such systems and technologies. Individual characteristics were found to have no effect in systems innovation whereas organisational and environmental elements highly influence innovation in the organisation. A relationship could not be established between systems innovation and information security risks. This research highlights the importance of ensuring that new systems and technologies adds value to the organisation and equally important is to ensure management of organisational and environmental elements that affect systems innovation. Information security risks should also not be a deterrence for systems innovation. , M.Com. (Business Management)
