Unveiling consumers' privacy paradox behaviour in an economic exchange

International Journal of Business Information Systems (2016)

Luvai Motiwalla Xiao Bai Li

Privacy paradox is of great interest to IS researchers and firms gathering personal information. It has been studied from social, behavioural, and economic perspectives independently. However, prior research has not examined the degrees of influence these perspectives contribute to the privacy paradox problem. We combine both economic and behavioural perspectives in our study of the privacy paradox with a price valuation of personal information through an economic experiment combined with a behavioural study on privacy paradox. Our goal is to reveal more insights on the privacy paradox through economic valuation on personal information. Results indicate that general privacy concerns or individual disclosure concerns do not have a significant influence on the price valuation of personal information. Instead, prior disclosure behaviour in specific scenario, like with healthcare providers or social networks, is a better indicator of consumer price valuations.

A Framework to Support Managerial Activities Using Office Information Systems

Journal of Management Information Systems (1989)

Olivia R. Liu Sheng Luvai Motiwalla Jay F. Nunamaker Douglas R. Vogel

:Office systems have traditionally been effective in automating well-defined and structured office tasks that are performed by personnel who account for a minor share of the office payroll. To make an impact on office environments, office systems must be able to support effectively semi-structured or unstructured office tasks that are generally performed by managers and professionals.This paper provides a conceptual focus through a framework for analyzing the office functions of managers, and a technological focus and direction through a design and architecture of an Integrated Office Information System (IOIS) for implementing such a concept that supports the less structured activities of managers.

Internet-Based Distance Education–The Administrator's Perspective

Journal of Education for Business (2001)

Timothy Shea Luvai Motiwalla David A. Lewis

Abstract In this study, the authors sought to investigate the status of distance education (DE) at 68 higher education institutions. Through a survey of DE program directors, the authors gathered information on size, target audience, media used, evaluation methods, student characteristics, student and faculty perceptions, and administrative support. Results reveal that the programs were still primarily asynchronous in their course delivery and needed more staffing and technical support and that program coordinators were experimenting with alternative forms of evaluation.

For Todayâ€™s Dynamic and Changing World, Business Simulations need to be Expanded to Encompass Much Greater Complexity: A Demonstration

Developments in Business Simulation and Experiential Learning (1997)

Paul Moschella Luvai Motiwalla

Strategic thinking is advanced as the process necessary to better cope with accelerating complexity and change. With the arrival of the Internet and a global society, it is now necessary to emphasize development of strategic thinking. The paper holds that these skills remain neglected in contemporary business school programs, but must be developed. A program model and process steps are presented for facilitating strategic thinking. To help the learner develop the skills of questioning and strategic thinking, the authors outline a unique program that makes possible holistic thinking and its practice. The computer-driven simulation portion of the program consists of a Query Engine and Situations (Cases) database for scanning, searching and probing, together with hardcopy of the responses.

The design and implementation of a context-aware mobile hadith learning system

International Journal of Mobile Learning and Organisation (2017)

Luvai Motiwalla Hamdy Fadl Abdulkarem Aişe Zülal Şevkli

The rapid development of emerging technologies for mobile devices has enabled them to contribute strongly to the creation of new paths for learning. In this paper, a novel context-aware mobile learning application is proposed to encourage and promote hadith learning. Prophetic narrations texts or hadith are considered as a very important source of Islamic culture. This hadith learning system (HLS) uses prophetic narration texts as hadith learning resources. Three dimensions (location, time and profile) of user context are implemented. To match appropriate hadith on three context dimensions of users, context-filtering based regular expression and ontology matching-recommending techniques are used. HLS has been tested on 20 users. Two questionnaires were completed by test users. The results of both questionnaires show that our application has no serious usability problems and that the proposed system can be used to promote hadith learning along with increasing the progress of users.

Preserving Patient Privacy When Sharing Same-Disease Data

Journal of Data and Information Quality (2016)

Wenjun Li Xiao‐Bai Li Luvai Motiwalla Wenjun Li Hua Zheng

Medical and health data are often collected for studying a specific disease. For such same-disease microdata, a privacy disclosure occurs as long as an individual is known to be in the microdata. Individuals in same-disease microdata are thus subject to higher disclosure risk than those in microdata with different diseases. This important problem has been overlooked in data-privacy research and practice, and no prior study has addressed this problem. In this study, we analyze the disclosure risk for the individuals in same-disease microdata and propose a new metric that is appropriate for measuring disclosure risk in this situation. An efficient algorithm is designed and implemented for anonymizing same-disease data to minimize the disclosure risk while keeping data utility as good as possible. An experimental study was conducted on real patient and population data. Experimental results show that traditional reidentification risk measures underestimate the actual disclosure risk for the individuals in same-disease microdata and demonstrate that the proposed approach is very effective in reducing the actual risk for same-disease data. This study suggests that privacy protection policy and practice for sharing medical and health data should consider not only the individuals’ identifying attributes but also the health and disease information contained in the data. It is recommended that data-sharing entities employ a statistical approach, instead of the HIPAA's Safe Harbor policy, when sharing same-disease microdata.

A framework to support managerial activities using office information systems

Olivia R. Liu Sheng Luvai Motiwalla J. F. Nunamaker Douglas R. Vogel

A broad discussion is presented of the problems and issues involved in the development of integrated office systems to support higher-level tasks of managers. The authors provide conceptual integration by establishing a framework for the office activities of managers. They discuss the technological integration of disparate office systems through architecture and design of an integrated office information system (IOIS). The IOIS described was developed from the integration of four IOISs at the University of Arizona: the integrated spreadsheet-based inferencing systems (ISBIS); Plexsys planning software (Plexware); the Resource Management Expert (RME); and an intelligent mail system (AIMAIL).< >
