The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis identifies managerial, organizational, and individual attributes which influence Internet technology infusion. Infusion can be defined as the incorporation of a technology into an organization's key processes. As infusion increases, the extended, integrative and emergent use of the technology increases, leading to increased leveraging of the technology. A survey was distributed to 1100 Air Force members throughout four Major Commands, divided into 600 officers and 500 enlisted. The analysis used Structural Equation Modeling to test models relating managerial, organizational and individual constructs as positive influences on infusion. Findings in the officer group indicate executive involvement and participation, policy, receptivity to change and personal responsibility influence integrative use of Internet technology. Management support, policy, and receptivity to change were found to influence extended use. Extended and integrative use were found to lead to emergent use. Similar results were found in the enlisted group, with three exceptions: ease of use influenced integrative use, while receptivity to change did not; and integrative use did not lead to emergent use. The findings suggest ways for organizations to encourage higher-level use of Internet technology. In addition, differences between the two groups highlighted the need for organization's Internet strategy to account for individual differences. ... Read more

Life is about choices and decisions, and it s important to understand how the choices and decisions you make will affect your life. Whether you re faced with the decision to do right or do wrong or whether it s a decision to take a job or to take a trip there s always a consequence to the decision you make. Each choice will affect your life positively or negatively. Our penitentiaries are filled with people men, women and youth who are there solely because of the choices they made. Yes, there are those who are or were falsely accused, but my focus is on those who chose to ignore the law. It s amazing how many people are locked up because of a planned or split decision. Unfortunately, many of them made a decision that cost more than a fine or probation. Their choice cost them time months, years and for some, a life sentence or even death.Where are you right now in your spiritual life? What decisions have you made? The discussions I address in this short book are areas where decisions can have a profound effect on your life. Areas in which making decisions can either propel you forward in joy and happiness or pull you back into the sublime world of make-believe, pretend, delusion, and so on. This book will discuss how important it is that people who believe in God should ask God or his chosen in the clergy for help to keep from making bad choices or dumb decisions. Your spiritual life is no less important than your physical life and wellbeing. I would even venture to state that if you re spiritually sick, your physical life is affected too. ... Read more
