- 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)

- Description: M.Com. (Informatics) , A company’s valuable information assets face many risks from internal and external sources. When these risks are exploited and reports on information assets are made public, it is usually easy to determine which companies had a contingency plan to deal with the various aspects of these “computer incidents”. This study incorporates important factors of computer incidents into a framework which will assists the company in effectively dealing and managing computer incidents when they occur.
