Once again, thank you for submitting your manuscript to the Pacific-Asia Conference on Information Systems 2019. I look forward to receiving your revision and welcoming you to Xi’an CHINA. Sincerely, Dongming Xu, James Jiang, Hee-Woong Kim Program Chairs, Pacific-Asia Conference on Information Systems 2019 ----------------------- REVIEW 1 --------------------- PAPER: 543 TITLE: The Role of Business Intelligence/Analytics Systems in Translating ‘Finance Transformation’ Efforts into Higher Accounting Information Service Levels AUTHORS: Bernhard Wieder and Maria Luise Ossimitz Overall evaluation: 2 (accept) ----------- Overall evaluation ----------- This study examines the role of BI/BA systems with the translation of Finance Transformation (FT) efforts on Bi/BA quality and Management Accounting (MA) information service level. This paper is well written and well organized. However, authors need to change several parts before acceptance. First, even though it is written well, still it is not easy to catch up on the significance of the research motivation of the study. FT has been studied by so many research previously. Therefore, the authors need to add more strong reason or justification that why this study is valuable, and it has a significant contribution to the academic and practical society. I am suggesting the authors make a table that shows the previous research trends and outcomes from various academic domain about the FT. Through this table, the authors can find a niche area that still needs to focus and do research. Second, the authors need to add a table that shows the detail information about the sample as well as information about the MA systems they are using. Besides, the authors need to add information about their industry as well. Third, in table 1, the R square value for A-TOOL seems quite low. Besides, the cross-loading value for TOOL_REP is lower than the recommended threshold value. The author needs to discuss these issues in the results section. I recommend the authors to conduct a test for the SRMR, Geodesic Discrepancy, and Unweighted Least Squares Discrepancy that can show the goodness of Fit of the model. Try to add HI95 and HI99 values in the table from the test. T.K. Dijkstra, J. Henseler, Consistent and asymptotically normal PLS estimators for linear structural equations, Comput. Stat. Data Anal. 81 (2015) 10–23. Last, the authors need to enhance their contributions and implications of the study. Please focus on more on the academic implications of the research. ----------------------- REVIEW 2 --------------------- PAPER: 543 TITLE: The Role of Business Intelligence/Analytics Systems in Translating ‘Finance Transformation’ Efforts into Higher Accounting Information Service Levels AUTHORS: Bernhard Wieder and Maria Luise Ossimitz Overall evaluation: 2 (accept) ----------- Overall evaluation ----------- This paper is well developed and structured experimental research, with a focus on the impacts of Finance Transformation Project on MA information service level. It also highlighted the mediating role of BI/BA system quality, which provides essential insight for future reach and practice. However, several places require minor revisions. 1. In the title, it is better to use "BI/BA system quality" and "MA Information Service Levels" as inside of the proposed model rather than "BI/BA system" and "Accounting Information Service Levels." 2. In Page 5, H2 is explained as "BI/BA systems used in accounting, which are backed by accounting modules of ERPS, have higher quality than those which are not backed by ERPS." However, in Figure 1, H2 implies a positive impact from "ERP use in MA" to "BI/BA System Quality." In the questionnaire (Page 7), authors also only asked the question about the use of ERPS accounting functionality in MA. It highlights only the use of ERPS, not an integration between ERPS and BI/BA System. Please explain it in detail. 3. The sample size is only 76, but there are 26 items used in the SEM-PLS analysis. Is it appropriate? 4. Authors did not show the items of the questionnaire in detail in Table 2, because of the page limitation. So, it is better to show at least one question as an example for each factor in the content (Page 7). 5. It is important to show the descriptive information as Mean and SD of each factor to indicate the distribution of the sample. 6. In Table 1, the authors used the 1-tailed t-test. Why not 2-tailed t-test? ุ7. In the third paragraph of page 9, authors mentioned that the impact from FTP on MA information service level is quite weak. Please explain it more. 8. Abbreviations in the paper are not consistent, e.g., "ERPS" vs. "ERP," "BI/A" and "BI/BA." |
