Inhaltsangabe

The editors (both of the International Information Management Corporation Ltd, Ireland) present 220 papers on the adoption and exploitation of the Internet and information and communication technologies in pursuit of commercial, governmental, and societal goals. Representing studies from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, the papers are organized into nine thematic sections exploring e-business; e-government and e-democracy; knowledge management; media; mobility; networked, smart, and virtual organizations; new working environments; small and medium enterprise issues; and training and education. Within each of these broad thematic sections, papers are further broken down into those mainly looking at broad theoretical or practical issues, those describing particular technological applications, and those reporting case studies. Thus the section on media contains a paper on major record companies' responses to file sharing technology, another discussing technologies for a knowledge-based audiovisual archive, and a third on the digitization of Lithuanian cultural heritage; while the section on networked, smart, and virtual organizations contains a discussion of specific challenges of mobile dynamic virtual organizations, description of a framework for cross-institutional authentication and authorization, and a survey of human resource managers working with collaborative technology (referencing just six of the 220 papers).

Von der hinteren Coverseite

While exploitation of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) is critical to building the Knowledge Economy, many of the challenges being faced today are human-centric rather than technological in nature. Never has it been more important to share knowledge and experience, not just between individuals and within departments, but also increasingly between organizations and across cultural as well as geographic borders. Innovation is increasingly driven by collaboration between different stakeholders sharing complementary expertise, skills and experiences to address commercial and societal requirements that would be very difficult to address alone. Standardization, interoperability and trusted networks have never been more important in enabling seamless collaboration. Building a truly global Knowledge Economy requires ever-greater transparency of public and private initiatives, whether commercial, legislative, political, social or technical in nature. Bridging the Digital Divide requires a willingness to share successes and failures, providing an opportunity to replicate successful implementations, avoid previous mistakes and apply scare resources to adapting lessons learnt to cultural and regional requirements. Sharing such knowledge highlights that problems experienced or exploitation lessons learnt in one domain or location are often directly relevant or applicable to eAdoption elsewhere. This book brings together a comprehensive collection of over 220 contributions on commercial, government or societal exploitation of the Internet and ICT, representing cutting edge research and practical eAdoption from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.
