應(yīng)管理與經(jīng)濟學(xué)院的邀請，香港城市大學(xué)方鈺麟教授來偉德國際官網(wǎng)進行交流，并于2018年1月17日上午，在主樓133會議室做了題為《System Dynamics Modeling for Information Systems Research - Theory Development and Practical Application》的學(xué)術(shù)報告。報告會由偉德國際官網(wǎng)張毅祥副教授主持，學(xué)院眾多師生參加了報告會。
方鈺麟教授首先介紹了自己的研究領(lǐng)域和相關(guān)成果，以及當(dāng)初進行這篇論文研究的背景。然后從什么是理論貢獻以及如何進行理論擴展入手，指出信息系統(tǒng)領(lǐng)域有很多研究都開發(fā)了用來解釋和預(yù)測的variance model，而對系統(tǒng)模型則考慮較少，特別是很大程度上忽略了互為因果的、有時滯的因果機制。而系統(tǒng)動力學(xué)提供了一個基于系統(tǒng)思考的方法論，可以考慮這些因果機制，從而對現(xiàn)有基于variance model的理論進行擴展。接下來，以企業(yè)電子商務(wù)投資和企業(yè)績效之間的關(guān)系為例，展示了如何利用系統(tǒng)動力學(xué)對現(xiàn)有理論進行擴展，并解釋現(xiàn)有研究之中不一致的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)。 與會人員與方鈺麟教授就相關(guān)問題進行了充分的討論和交流，在報告結(jié)束后大家進行了合影留念。
