Task due on July 4
Markus, M.L. "Power, Politics and MIS Implementation," Communications of the ACM, 26, 1983, pp. 430-444.
The research shown theories of resistance to management information systems (MIS) are important because they guide the implementation strategies and tactics chosen by implementors. Three basic theories of the causes of resistance underlie many prescriptions and rules for MIS implementation. Simply stated, people resist MIS because of their own internal factors, because of poor system design, and because the interaction of specific system design features with aspects of the organisational context of system use. These theories differ in their basic assumptions about systems, organisations, and resistance; they also differ in predictions that can be derived from them and in their implications for the implementation process. These differences are described and the task of evaluating the theories on the bases of the differences is begun. Data from a case study are used to illustrate the theories and to demonstrate the superiority, for implementors, of the interaction theory.

group task due on 27june08
Research question:
· The level of participation in forum is positvely related to the friendship/relatiionship between classmates
There are 2 possible ways to collect data:
· Questionaire for students and teachers to collect how many times they login to the forum and how long they will stay in the forum
· Use the admin function from the forum to track the user name and duration time for each login
Independent:
· level of participation
Dependent:
· friendship/relationship between classmate
Improvement in education teaching and learning:
· Once the result support participation in forum can enhance the relationship within classmates, students themselves can build up their own peer to peer collaboration and to build up a knowledge forum within themselves.
