    Notes: Compares the perceptions of Malaysians (representing eastern, Asian culture) and Australians (representing western, European culture) for four Web site design characteristics - atmospherics, news stories, signs and products and services - as part of the integrated Internet marketing model. Under controlled laboratory conditions, two groupings of 30 subjects evaluated eight Web sites - four in Malaysia and four in Australia - in the retail and services sectors. Hypothesises that the predominant culture is not generalised to another culture. Some tentative support for the research premise is found since where a group's perceptions for Web design characteristics and their effectiveness was significantly higher, it was for sites originating in that group's country. Furthermore, perceptions both support and contradict previous research suggesting that Australians prefer an environment of low context and high explicit communications while Asians operate in an environment of high context that stresses implicit communications.

    Notes: Purpose - The objective of the paper is to identify the factors that encourage consumers to adopt internet banking services in Thailand and to use the study's findings to develop strategies for banks on how to maximize the rate of adoption. Design/methodology/approach - Quantitative research with a sample size of 600 achieved by sending questionnaires to 15 people in each of 40 large companies in Bangkok. The study is based on the Decomposed Planned Behaviour. Findings - The attitudinal factors that appear to encourage the adoption of internet banking in Thailand most are "Features of the web site" and "Perceived usefulness", while the most significant impediment to adoption is a perceived behavioural control, namely "External environment". The significant moderating factors are gender, educational level, income, internet experience and internet banking experience, but not age. Research limitations/implications - In this study, encouragement factors are those that are able to be controlled by banks, while impediment factors are those that are not able to be controlled. Practical implications - It is essential for banks to facilitate encouragement and restrict impediment factors. In addition to the direct "push" from internet banks (in respect of the encouragement factors), indirect persuasion should be carried out as a "pull" mechanism (in respect of the impediment factors). Originality/value - The study identified a number of specific strategies that Thai banks could follow to maximize the adoption of internet banking.

    Notes: The paper examined the nature of information technology (IT) outsourcing decision making and developed a theoretical framework consisting of five phases of decision making. The phases augmented those of Simon and consisted of intelligence, analysis and planning, strategy selection, action, and evaluation and monitoring. Australia's largest organisations and government agencies were surveyed by questionnaire to establish the importance of tasks and subtasks to be performed when completing each of the five phases. Participants possessed high experiences with IT in general and IT outsourcing in particular. When the importance of phases vis-à-vis each other were established, the action phase and evaluation and monitoring phase were found to be more significant than the other phases. For the action phase, which was statistically the most significant phase, the tasks of selecting an IT-outsourcing vendor and determining a suitable IT-outsourcing contract were dominant and strongly correlated. Findings from the study should help organisations identify and therefore better manage critical decision-making activities during IT outsourcing particularly those related to vendors and contracts.

    Notes: Investments in information technology (IT) are large and growing and require management attention. This study investigated processes associated with IT benefit management (ITBM) to realise benefits during the development of a new system, to retrofit ITBM processes against an existing system, and to review ITBM processes against an existing system without retrofitting. The case study approach was used to ameliorate the shortage of qualitative research in IT value. The study identified key processes required during IT benefit realisation, changes in processes during retrofitting and strong and weak processes during review. All three approaches were found to be operational effective with the review approach having some strategic effectiveness. Operational effectiveness ensured that social subsystem costs and benefits and complementary assets were identified. To make the review approach more strategically effective requires definitive IT goals to be set. The application of the "3Rs" during case analyses enabled success factors for ITBM to be identified.

    Notes: The twenty-first century knowledge driven economy has seen increasing importance being placed on maximising the organisation's intellectual capital (IC). At the same time knowledge management (KM) systems are being developed. The paper establishes similarities between the two and proceeds to develop a systematic approach to linking them through the intellectual capital web (ICW). There are six components with the ICW: strategic objectives, management systems, measurement systems, knowledge workers, catalysts and reward and incentive systems. The integration of IC and KM requires alignment of KM processes with IC assets to meet the organisation's strategic needs. A theoretical conjecture is developed in which the components of elements of ICW are interweaved to achieve strategic objectives. The systematic approach outlined in the paper should offer organisations valuable guidelines to maximising their IC assets and managing their knowledge management processes.

    Notes: The business benefits that can be achieved have dominated theconsiderations as to whether or not to outsource information systems(IS). Very little attention appears to have been given to thecompromises in IS security and control that follows such a move.Evaluates the loss in IS security and control when IS outsourcing occursand proposes a new security framework for such a situation. Under ISoutsourcing the emphasis changes from the physical protection of assetsto the recovery of these resources, and application controls become lessimportant relative to general controls. To be successful, the securityand control framework for IS outsourcing needs to be integrated into thebroader relationship that exists with the outsourcing vendor.

    Description / Table of Contents: Cycloadditions, 12.  -  Influence of Aromatic Alkyl Groups on the Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reaction of Aryl Allenecarboxylates and of AllenecarboxanilidesThe aryl allenecarboxylates 4a-o and the allenecarboxanilides 9a,b,e,h, and 1, which differ from one another only by the number or by the size of the alkyl groups attached to the arene, are synthesized by the ylide method via the appropriately substituted 2-halo-, 2-phosphonio-, and 2-phosphoranylideneacetic acid derivatives (1→2→3→4 and 6→7→8→9, resp.). By refluxing in xylene they are transformed into the tricyclic compounds 5 and 10; the rates and their differences are discussed.
    Notes: Die Allencarbonsäure-arylester 4a-o und die Allencarboxanilide 9a,b,e,h und 1, die sich jeweils lediglich durch die Anzahl oder die Größe der am Aromaten befestigten Alkylgruppen unterscheiden, werden auf dem Ylidweg über entsprechend substituierte 2-Halogen-, 2-Phosphonio- und 2-Phosphoranylidenessigsäure-Derivate (1→2→3→4 bzw. 6→7→8→9) hergestellt und in siedendem Xylol in die tricyclischen Verbindungen 5 bzw. 10 übergeführt. Die Geschwindigkeitsunterschiede bei dieser Intramolekularen Diels-Alder-Reaktion werden diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Cycloadditions, 15. - Influence of Substituents in P-, m-, and o Position of the Arene onto the Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reaction of Allenecarboxylic Acid Anilides and Phenyl EstersThe ylides 3 and 8 (synthesized via the bromoacetic acid amides 1 and -esters 6 and via the phosphonium bromides 2 and 7) react with ketene to give the allenecarboxanilides 4 and the phenyl allenecarboxylates 9. Thermolysis in boiling xylene of all derivatives yields the Diels-Alder products 5 and 10. Only the m-methoxyaniline derivative 4b furnishes besides 5b (40%) four different quinolinone derivatives 13-16 (total 60%). The 4-methylene derivatives 13 and 14 are transformed by base to give the aromatic 4-methyl-2(1H)-quinolinones 15 and 16. The enol ether group of the tricyclus 5b (isolated in mixture with 16) is hydrolysed by acid catalysis (formation of 17). It is tried to rationalize the different velocities of the Diels-Alder reactions 4 → 5 and 9 → 10 by MNDO calculations.
    Notes: Die aus den Bromessigsäureamiden 1 und -estern 6 über die Phosphoniumbromide 2 und 7 erhältlichen Ylide 3 und 8 reagieren mit Keten zu den Allencarboxaniliden 4 bzw. den Allencarbonsäurephenylestern 9. Bei der Thermolyse in siedendem Xylol geben alle Derivate die Diels-Alder-Produkte 5 bzw. 10. Nur das m-Methoxyanilin-Derivat 4b liefert neben 5b (40%) vier verschiedene Chinolinon-Derivate 4b liefert neben 5b (40%) vier verschiedene Chinolinon-Derivate 13-16 (zusammen 60%). Die 4-Methylen-Derivate 13 und 14 lassen sich basenkatalysiert in die aromatischen 4-Methyl-2(1H)-chinolinone 15 und 16 umwandeln. Die Enolether-Gruppierung des im Gemisch mit 16 isolierten Tricyclus 5b wird säurekatalysiert hydrolysiert (Bildung von 17). Es wird versucht, die unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten der Diels-Alder-Reaktionen 4 → 5 bzw. 9 → 10 durch MNDO-Berechnungen zu deuten.

    Notes: Cycloadditions. 24 Synthesis and Reactions of sec. N-Aryl-2,3-butadienamidesThe reaction of aryl isocyanates (1) with allenyl magnesium bromide (2) furnishes the sec. N-aryl-3-butynamides (4), which tend to tautomerize to the 2,3-butadienamides (5). Further heating of 5a-f (bearing benzoid nuclei) leads to decomposition, only 5g (bearing the naphthyl group) undergoes the expected intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction, leading to the benzo-tricycle (7g). By reaction of a second molecule isocyanate 1 the carbomoylation of the NH moiety of 5a, c and of 3g and 4g, resp. takes place. The thereby formed N-aryl-N-butadienoyl ureas (9) either cyclize to furnish the the N-carbamoyl-2-quinolones (10) or undergo the IMDA-reaction leading to the tricyclic compounds (11). The N-butadienoyl-N-(1-naphthyl)ureas (12) only furnish the IMDA-benzo-tricycles (13).
