I am delighted to introduce the second issue of Volume 33, which includes five articles. In the first article, “Toward Better Understanding and Use of Business Intelligence in Organizations,” author Celina M. Olszak conducts interviews in organizations in Poland that apply Business Intelligence (BI) systems. The results reveal that the factors associated with organizations which achieve benefits from BI include management leadership and support, corporate culture, effective information resources management, clearly stated strategy and objectives, and use of appropriate BI technologies. The second article, entitled “Citizen Adoption of E-Government Services: Exploring Citizen Perceptions of Online Services in the United States and United Kingdom,” by Lemuria Carter, Vishanth Weerakkody, Brandis Phillips, and Yogesh K. Dwivedi, presents a cross-national examination of e-government adoption in the United Kingdom and the United States. The results indicate that disposition to trust is positively related to internet trust and government trust. Further, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have a significant impact on intention to use. Finally, internet trust has a positive effect on intention to use. In the third article, “Clarifying the Impact of Social Escapism in Users’ Acceptance for Online Entertaining Services—An Extension of the Technology Acceptance Model Based on Online Karaoke Television Services Users,” authors Hsiu-Ju Chen and Jhih-Ting Lu analyze online karaoke television (KTV) users, revealing perceived enjoyment helped users’ social escapism and provided a psychological basis. In the next article, “Customers’ Intention and Adoption of Telebanking in Jordan,” authors Ali Abdallah Alalwan, Yogesh K. Dwivedi, and Michael D. Williams investigate the factors influencing customers’ intention and adoption of Telebanking in Jordan. The results show that behavioral intention is significantly influenced by performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, price value, and perceived risk. Finally, in the last of the five articles in this issue, entitled “User Resistance to Information System Implementations: A Dual-Mode Processing Perspective,” by Robert Hugh Campbell and Mark Grimshaw, the Elaboration Likelihood Model was used to assess attitudes that can cause users to resist information system implementations. The results identify heuristics and peripheral influences that commonly affect user attitudes.
