Building the E-Service Society
Building the E-Service Society is a state-of-the-art book which deals with innovative trends in communication systems, information processing, and security and trust in electronic commerce, electronic business, and electronic government. It comprises the proceedings of I3E2004, the Fourth International Conference on E-Commerce, E-Business, and E-Government, which was held in August 2004 as a co-located conference of the 18th IFIP World Computer Congress in Toulouse, France, and sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). The book contains recent results and developments in the following areas: E-Government: E-Government Models and Processes, E-Governance, Service Provisioning. E-Business: Infrastructures and Marketplaces, M-Commerce, Purchase and Payment. E-Commerce: Value Chain Management, E-Business Architectures and Processes, E-Business Models.
Mobile Communication
Mobile Communication covers a wide range of topics. These include the replacement of co-present interaction with mediated contact and analysis of mobile-based cohesion and gender. The authors also explore the role of media choice and its effect on the quality as well as quantity of social cohesion. Other topics include mobile communication and communities of interest; and mobile communication, cohesion, and youth.This volume brings together scholars from around the world to consider how mobile communication both builds and destroys our sense of social cohesion. There is no question that uses of technology can lead to increased cohesion within personal communities. For example, this volume in...
Entrepreneurship in the Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure Industries
Many standard BOP models have been undergoing radical transformations. Newer functioning models with inclusivity with holistic, systems approach is the mantra. Development has morphed into community leadership, and societal fabric building now frames the effect of corporate governance activities on shareholder value. Not surprisingly, new voices have been calling for reinvention of marketing. CEO's cannot get clear, compelling answers about marketing's impact on the bottom line. The adage of Sam Wanamaker- that he knows that 50 percent of his advertisement works but he does not know which half –still haunts management. Consider the following: Economic liberalisation has given a new impetus...
Beware of smart people! Redefining the smart city paradigm towards inclusive urbanism
The Smart City paradigm aims at resource efficient urban development by means of ICT implementation. Cities where we work and conduct our research are building Smart City strategies and that research institutions increasingly fund research into the development of smart infrastructure and. Smart Cities are considered a radical paradigm shift and motors of technological innovation: economic growth, higher quality of life, efficiency and risk control in the face of shrinking resources and impending climate change. This smartification is contrasted by increasing calls by civil society and urban social movements for more encompassing inclusion in decision-making. New urban actors are acquiring ag...
Magnetospheric Current Systems
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 118. The magnetosphere is an open system that interacts with the solar wind. In this system, solar wind energy continuously permeates different regions of the magnetosphere through electromagnetic processes, which we can well describe in terms of current systems. In fact, our ability to use various methods to study magnetospheric current systems has recently prompted significant progress in our understanding of the phenomenon. Unprecedented coverage of satellite and ground?]based observations has advanced global approaches to magnetospheric current systems, whereas advanced measurements of electromagnetic fields and particles have brought new insights about micro?]processes. Increased computer capabilities have enabled us to simulate the dynamics not only of the terrestrial magnetosphere but also the magnetospheres of other planets. Based on such developments, the present volume revisits outstanding issues about magnetospheric current systems.
Mobile Technology and Place
An international roster of contributors come together in this comprehensive volume to examine the complex interactions between mobile media technologies and issues of place. Balancing philosophical reflection with empirical analysis, this book examines the specific contexts in which place and mobile technologies come into focus, intersect, and interact. Given the far-reaching impact of contemporary mobile technology use – and given the lasting importance of the concept and experiences of place – this book will appeal to a wide range of scholars in media and cultural studies, sociology, and philosophy of technology.
Akzeptanz von technologischen Innovationen
Jörg Königstorfer betrachtet den Entscheidungsprozess für bzw. gegen technologische Innovationen am Beispiel mobiler Internetdienste. Er entwickelt Lösungsansätze für die drei Hauptprobleme der Akzeptanzforschung: Die Beachtung von Emotionen im Entscheidungsprozess, die Berücksichtigung des Pro-Veränderungsbias und die Zuschreibung von Ursache-Wirkungs-Zusammenhängen bei der Adoption von Innovationen.
