Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Detecting Uncertainties in Project Planning: a Case of Industrial Technologies through System Dynamics Approach   Order a copy of this article
    by Muhammad Usama, Ijaz Yusuf, Muhammad Asghar Ali, Muhammad Imran, Abdul Waheed 
    Abstract: This research identifies the roadblocks that prevail in project dynamics. A system dynamics approach is used in this research and a system dynamics model is developed to capture and study the impact of uncertainties on project dynamics during implementation phase and to foresee the project feasibility through the feedback monitoring subsystem developed using technique of earned value analysis. This study supported a belief that plausible policies can mitigate the risk in delays and strategic changes in the project scope. The research proposed distinct policies to balance the uncertainties appearing in the form of strategic changes that delay and disrupt the project planning and implementation. This study shows several implications for information technology managers along with future lines for the researcher to conduct more studies from unlike perspective, worldwide.
    Keywords: Project Planning; Technology Management; System Dynamics; Simulation; Software Project; Policy Design.

  • The Effects of Innovativeness, Price Consciousness, and Personal Perceptions on Behavioural Attitude and Intention in Sharing Economy: a Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modelling   Order a copy of this article
    by Jiang Jiang, Eldon Y. Li, Xiuqiu Kang 
    Abstract: This study is to synthesise research on how innovativeness and price consciousness impact behavioural intention and how the sequential mediating mechanisms of cost/risk perception, value perception, and attitude function in a meta-analytic structural equation model. This meta-analysis presents data from 164 empirical studies with a sample size of 61,559 respondents. The results indicate that innovativeness exerts a stronger significant total effect on behavioural intention than price consciousness. Attitude plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between innovativeness and behavioural intention and a masking role in the relationship from price consciousness to behavioural intention. The independent mediating effect of cost/risk perception and value perception and their subsequent mediating effects through attitude are all significantly positive. However, the sequential mediating effects of cost/risk perception are very weak. This study pioneers a comprehensive analysis of how personality traits influence behavioral intentions in the sharing economy.
    Keywords: sharing economy; innovativeness; price consciousness; attitude; intention; meta-analysis; sequential mediation.

  • Leveraging Competency Mapping for Optimal Performance: a Deep Dive into the ITeS Sector and Strategic Recommendations   Order a copy of this article
    by Divya Pant, Shagun Tyagi, Daviender Narang 
    Abstract: The purpose of the study is to delve into the relationship between individual performance and competency mapping in the IT-enabled services (ITeS) industry. A survey of 500 professionals was conducted through a variety of sampling methodologies. R Studio and SPSS 22 were two examples of statistical tools used to analyse the data. Important competencies for competency mapping were determined, such as technical proficiency, capacity for problem-solving, aptitude for communication, flexibility, and leadership traits. To increase both organisational and individual performance, the researchers found areas in the competency mapping procedures that may use improvement. The study offered a useful method for analysing crucial competencies and how they affect organisational goals, which most likely entailed creating models or frameworks for evaluating and enhancing competence mapping procedures. The results demonstrated the beneficial effects of competency mapping on output, worker satisfaction, income levels, and employee engagement.
    Keywords: Executive Competencies; Executive Performance; Organisational Performance; Organisational Effectiveness; ITeS Units.

  • Framework for DevOps Success Factors in Software Development   Order a copy of this article
    by J.A.V.M.K. Jayakody, Janaka Wijayanayake 
    Abstract: Adopting DevOps practices allows software development and operations teams to deliver high-quality products quickly. Many researchers view DevOps as a continuation of Agile principles, still it lacks a clear definition and is rarely recognised as a distinct methodology. Therefore, implementing DevOps presents significant challenges, making it crucial to identify key factors for achieving successful adoption. These factors were examined in this research using a structured review of existing literature and confirmed through consultations with DevOps professionals. The findings proposed a framework for DevOps adoption, which was confirmed by a questionnaire survey using structural equation modelling (SEM). The resulting framework identifies critical factors for achieving successful adoption: shared culture of collaboration, DevOps strategies, competent team, performance measurements. This framework aids the software development industry in maximising DevOps benefits and minimising limitations. Additionally, it provides a basis for future studies to examine DevOps maturity as a roadmap for software development organisations, considering industry trends.
    Keywords: DevOps; DevOps implementation; DevOps adoption; DevOps Best practices; Critical success factors; DevOps framework; DevOps conceptual model; DevOps benefits; DevOps challenges.
