Introduction to the Digital and ICT Enabled Services Minitrack

Introduction to Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICTD) Minitrack: Contributing to Human Development and Social Justice
2015
This minitrack explores opportunities to use Information and communication technologies to promote human development and social justice. In the early days this field began with radio and television as tools to help improve the lives of marginalized communities, but this has now become a global movement of people using computers, the internet, and mobile devices to help human development. Information technologies have become more accessible, more used, and more relevant than ever in the lives of people around the world. A growing body of scholars and researchers work to understand, design, evaluate and critique ICTD interventions, which can bring numerous benefits as well as unanticipated ne…
Diffusion Models in Analysing Emerging Technology-based Services
2005
In this article we discuss the problems of utilizing innovation diffusion (or, adoption) models in developing scenarios for mobile commerce services in three European countries: Finland, Germany, and Greece. We are not to test the various diffusion models as such, but rather to utilise the fundamental ideas of the models in determining the prerequisites for, the status of, and the pace of diffusion of mobile services in these different market areas. The estimates would serve as a starting point and as a validity check for scenario development. The early experience at the research design phase show that the ‘mainstream’ diffusion approach is vulnerable to three factors specific to the adopti…
Mobile Customer Relationship Management: a communication perspective
2007
Although communication has been investigated within relationship-oriented contexts, studies concerning communication within Customer Relationship Management (CRM) are scarce, especially when customer relationships are managed with the aid of the mobile medium. The purpose of this study is to increase general understanding of communication within the mobile context, in which the communicating parties are connected through the mobile medium. The authors present a model of the communication process within the mobile context based on a case study. The main results of the study indicate that the communication process within the mobile context differs significantly from the process through tradit…
The effect of culture on requirements: a value-based view of prioritization
2015
This paper examines how culture affects requirements and their prioritization. We analyze the requirements of a mobile service, which were collected from Helsinki, Hong Kong, and Las Vegas. We argue that the current prioritization techniques for requirements do not sufficiently account for the cultural effects, nor does the literature offer information on ways of prioritizing such requirements according to users’ values. We see this as problematic because the literature suggests that culture should be viewed as a set of values. Our findings support the argument that we should use a value-based approach in prioritizing requirements. Furthermore, by focusing on the links between needs and val…
Intention to use mobile customer relationship management systems
2014
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the behavioral intentions of business-to-business (B2B) sales managers to use mobile customer relationship management (CRM) systems in the course of their day-to-day activities. Design/methodology/approach – An extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of mobile CRM system adoption is developed and tested with data from 105 international sales managers representing five B2B companies. Findings – The study extends the TAM framework with three additional constructs derived from mobile technology and sales force automation literature, namely personal innovativeness in the domain of IT, perceived risk, and perceived reachability. The model…
Mobile Communication and Work Practices in Knowledge-based Organizations
2005
This paper examines the role of mobile communication, mobile tools and work practices in the context of organizations, especially knowledge-based organizations. Today, organizations are highly complex and diverse. Not surprisingly, various solutions to incorporating mobile tools and mobile communication in organizations have been devised. Challenges to technological development and research on mobile communication are presented.
Representation of Autonomous Automata
2001
An autonomous automaton is a finite automaton with output in which the input alphabet has cardinality one when special reduced. We define the transition from automata to semigroups via a representation successful if given two incomparable automata (neither simulate the other), the semigroups representing the automata are distinct. We show that representation by the transition semigroup is not successful. We then consider a representation of automata by semigroups of partial transformations. We show that in general transition from automata to semigroups by this representation is not successful either. In fact, the only successful transition presented is the transiton to this semigroup of par…
“Copia sententiarum verborumque Latinorum Caroli Müchlenbach” un Kārļa Mīlenbaha (1853-1916) devums latviešu valodniecībā: izstādes materiāli
2022
Izstāde ““Copia sententiarum verborumque Latinorum Caroli Müchlenbach” un Kārļa Mīlenbaha (1853 – 1916) devums latviešu valodniecībā” veltīta diviem notikumiem, ko atzīmējam 2023. gadā – izcilā latviešu valodnieka Kārļa Mīlenbaha 170 dzimšanas dienas atcerei un 100 gadu jubilejai, kopš izdoti viņa iesāktie un Jāņa Endzelīna papildinātie un pabeigtie unikālās un starptautiski nozīmīgās “Latviešu valodas vārdnīcas” pirmie sējumi. Izstādē iespējams aplūkot K. Mīlenbaha piezīmju grāmatiņu “Copia sententiarum verborumque Latinorum Caroli Müchlenbach”. Tā atspoguļo viņa plašo interešu loku. Grāmatiņa ir senākais K. Mīlenbaha manuskripts, kas glabājas Latvijas Universitātes Bibliotēkas Reto izdevu…
”Verba volant, scripta manent: LU Juridiskās fakultātes sākotne”: izstādes plakāti
2019
Latīņu teiciens "Verba volant, scripta manent" vēsta, ka teiktais izgaist, bet rakstītais paliek. Ar izstādi LU Bibliotēka sveic LU Juridisko fakultāti simtgadē. Juridiskās fakultātes saknes ir saistītas ar Latvijas Augstskolas, vēlāk – Latvijas Universitātes, dibināšanu, kad tika izveidota Ekonomiski juridiskā jeb Juridiski ekonomiskā fakultāte, kas sastāvēja no Tautsaimniecības nodaļas un Tiesību zinātņu nodaļas. Vēlāk tā ieguva Tautsaimniecības un tiesībzinātņu fakultātes nosaukumu. Izstādē akcentēti konkrētu mācībspēku ieguldījumu fakultātes veidošanā un nozares zinātniskās domas attīstībā.
