Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to contribute an Australian perspective to the debate on health system integration by identifying some key Australian challenges to integration, policy responses to enhance integration and potential insights from these for international policy makers, researchers and practitioners.

Design/methodology/approach

Drawing on the systems theory concept of entropy, the authors contend that there exist factors that contribute to system fragmentation. Whilst policy responses to these challenges are contextual, there are generalisable features worth exploring internationally.

Findings

The authors suggest that recognition of inherent system-based barriers is an important initial stage in moving towards integration. Whilst process and people factors are important contributors to integration, the political will to move in this direction is a necessary dynamic to energise the system through appropriate funding, incentives and governance structures.

Originality/value

The paper provides a fresh Australian perspective to the international discourse on barriers and opportunities to enhance health system integration.

Abstract

Purpose

Considering information processing theory, this study aims to examine how big data analytics (BDA) mediates the influence of e-procurement coordination (EPC) and e-procurement transactional (EPT) applications on transparency and accountability (TA) in the procurement processes of firms within the United Arab Emirates' private sector. Furthermore, it investigates the moderating role of information processing capabilities (IPCs) in the relationships among EPC, EPT and BDA to clarify their collective impact on enhancing TA and procurement performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from procurement and information technology professionals in the UAE’s private sector through a Web-based survey. Established scales were used to assess e-procurement, BDA, TA, procurement performance and IPCs. Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling.

Findings

Integrating e-procurement with BDA demonstrates the potential to improve TA and procurement performance in the UAE’s private sector. BDA is positively associated with EPC and EPT applications use, contributing to increased procurement TA and enhancing overall procurement performance.

Practical implications

Organizations can enhance procurement TA by adopting e-procurement and BDA technologies.

Originality/value

This study identifies the mediating role of BDA in the relationship between e-procurement and procurement TA. In addition, it investigates the moderating role of IPCs in the relationship between e-procurement and BDA.

Abstract

Purpose

Identity fraud is a growing issue for online retail organisations. The literature on this issue is scattered, and none of the studies presents a holistic view of identity fraud management practices in the online retail context. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the identity fraud management practices and present a comprehensive set of practices for e-tail sector.

Design/methodology/approach

A systematic literature review approach was adopted, and the articles were selected through pre-set inclusion criteria. The authors synthesised existing literature to investigate identity fraud management in e-tail sector.

Findings

The research finds that literature on practices for identity fraud management is scattered. The findings also reveal that firms assume identity fraud issues as a technological challenge, which is one of the major reasons for a gap in effective management of identity frauds. This research suggests e-tailers to deal this issue as a management challenge and counter strategies should be developed in technological, human and organisational aspects.

Research limitations/implications

This study is limited to the published sources of data. Studies, based on empirical data, will be helpful to support the argument of this study; additionally, future studies are recommended to include a wide number of databases.

Practical implications

This research will help e-tail organisations to understand the whole of identity fraud management and help them develop and implement a comprehensive set of practices at each stage, for effective management identity frauds.

Originality/value

This research makes unique contributions by synthesising existing literature at each stage of fraud management and encompasses social, organisational and technological aspects. It will also help academicians understanding a holistic view of available research and opens new lines for future research.
