An East-West Comparison of IS Professionals' Performance and Knowledge/Skills: An Empirical Study of USA vs Taiwan

The outsourcing literature suggests that the capabilities of partners involved in outsourcing or offshoring projects are a crucial factor for the success of the projects. This paper studies the capabilities of IS professionals from the USA and Taiwan on issues such as performance, time spent on IS related activities, and required skills vs. skills possessed. The goal is to determine the differences among these two groups in their core IT capabilities and to offer practitioners an empirical reference for carrying out their IS development decisions. Findings from the current study indicate that Taiwanese professionals tended to focus more on the technical issues and hardware/software details, while American professionals were proficient in business modeling, inter-personal communication, and end-user training. These findings present an opportunity for partnership between the two countries to develop low-cost but high quality IS projects. Other business implications are also discussed.

Responding to the Americans with disabilities act: Contributions of interpersonal communication research and training

Abstract The enactment of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), has resulted in considerable misinformation and resistance, especially when ablebodied individuals and persons with disabilities interact. This essay reviews contributions of interpersonal communication researchers who address the challenges persons with disabilities face when communicating with ablebodied others, suggesting ways to mitigate communication discomfort and to reduce problems in helping situations. The authors suggest foci for future research and training which can contribute to the acceptance and effectiveness of ADA and to facilitate communication between ablebodied persons and persons with disabilities.

Police perceptions of interpersonal communication training needs

Judgment analysis (JAN) is used to assess rating preferences pertaining to the interpersonal-communication training needs of peace officers in the western United States. Two hundred fifty-one subjects in a western state were categorized according to three judgment variables (agency type, size of the population served, and years of experience). Sixteen specific training-need areas for police interpersonal communication, and an overall criterion item, were rated using a five-point Likert scale. Two dimensions of preference were found to exist when officers were grouped according to agency type and experience; however, results indicated that unique components existed for each of the four population-size groups. The quality of experience appeared to be more important than the quantity of experience in determining preferences of perceived needs.
