The current state of research on eGovernment in developing countries: A literature review
2012
Published version of a chapter in the book: Electronic Government. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33489-4_1 This paper reports a review of literature on eGovernment in the context of developing countries published between 2005 and 2010. The insights emerging from this review may guide researchers in their continued investigation of eGovernment implementation, especially in the context of developing countries. From a review of 108 papers, the study found some substantive changes in the field of eGovernment research. These included increased adoption of interpretive paradigm and increased use of theories in the research. Some future research directio…
Le decisioni di co-branding: un'analisi ragionata della letteratura e nuovi percorsi di ricerca
2021
Abstract Obiettivi. Una decisione fondamentale nell’ambito del marketing strategico riguarda l’associazione di due brand per la promozione di un unico prodotto. Per questa ragione, non sorprende che, negli ultimi decenni, gli studi internazionali abbiano ampiamente esplorato gli antecedenti della decisione di co-branding nonché le differenze in termini di risultati tra i due brand alleati. L’ampio numero di studi sul co-brand, le molteplici prospettive teoriche e approcci empirici fanno emergere l’opportunità di riassumere lo stato dell’arte sul co-brand e, facendo leva sui risultati, presentare una agenda strutturata per futuri studi. Metodologia. Sviluppiamo un’analisi sistematica della l…
Staying at the front line of literature: How can topic modelling help researchers follow recent studies?
2021
Staying at the front line in learning research is challenging because many fields are rapidly developing. One such field is research on the temporal aspects of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). To obtain an overview of these fields, systematic literature reviews can capture patterns of existing research. However, conducting systematic literature reviews is time-consuming and do not reveal future developments in the field. This study proposes a machine learning method based on topic modelling that takes articles from a systematic literature review on the temporal aspects of CSCL (49 original articles published before 2019) as a starting point to describe the most recent devel…
Etic and emic data production methods in the study of journalistic work practices : A systematic literature review
2023
This methodological paper discusses the application of etic and emic perspectives in producing data sets for the study of journalistic praxis. The concepts refer to the researcher-analyst’s and the practitioner-informant’s viewpoints, respectively, and that being the case, they have inherent weaknesses if used independently. We argue that these shortcomings can be mitigated through an integrated application of the concepts and by seeing the two perspectives as complementary to each other. Combining etic and emic perspectives will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of complex yet routinized real-life behaviour such as journalistic work. Following the appraisal of the etic-emic comb…
Nordic research on educational and vocational guidance: a systematic literature review of thematic features between 2003 and 2016
2018
Educational and vocational guidance has received increased attention with regard to policymaking in the Nordic countries over the last 15 years. This has led to a growing interest in research-based knowledge. Updating an earlier article, we undertake a systematic literature review of guidance research in the Nordic countries during this 15-year period. Features and themes, both country-specific and in the region as a whole, are revealed through the analysis of a variety of research documents. Therefore, this article provides insight into research-based knowledge grounded in the Nordic context—relevant for both practitioners and policymakers on a national, Nordic, and international level. pe…
A systematic literature review on employee relations with CSR : State of art and future research agenda
2022
Within recent years, the literature on employee–CSR relations has grown significantly. However, the research is fragmented throughout various journals and disciplines, and we still lack a comprehensive literature review on the topic to show what we currently know about the employee relationship with CSR, and what we do not know. In this study, we conduct a systematic literature review on employee relations with CSR, based 331 journal articles. We analyze their methodological and theoretical approaches. Based on their key findings, we build a categorization of dominant research findings and their connections. Building on our review, we show how the research has been dominated by a focus on t…
Review on Life Cycle Assessment of Solar Photovoltaic Panels
2020
The photovoltaic (PV) sector has undergone both major expansion and evolution over the last decades, and currently, the technologies already marketed or still in the laboratory/research phase are numerous and very different. Likewise, in order to assess the energy and environmental impacts of these devices, life cycle assessment (LCA) studies related to these systems are always increasing. The objective of this paper is to summarize and update the current literature of LCA applied to different types of grid-connected PV, as well as to critically analyze the results related to energy and environmental impacts generated during the life cycle of PV technologies, from 1st generation (traditiona…
The internationalization of family businesses: A review of extant research
2010
Among family businesses (FBs) internationalization has become a strategy for growth, and sometimes even for survival. This review article presents an analysis conducted on 25 refereed journal articles on FB internationalization. The articles typically portrayed the internationalization of FBs as a sequential process following the Uppsala model of internationalization; by contrast, some FBs were regarded as “born-again” global firms. In methodological terms, most of the articles focused on what-questions rather than why/how-questions. The articles did not make much use of internationalization or FB-specific theories. Our study takes a step towards clarifying the following issues: (i) the cur…
Impact Investing in Information Technology Business
2022
Impact investing is one of most prominent investing strategies that pursue to generate measurable environmental and social effects in addition to profits. Despite the growth of the impact investing market and plausible results of information technology (IT) solutions and services, impact investments in the IT markets have been scarce and there has been very little research of the phenomenon. This study presents a multivocal literature review (MLR) to narrow the gap between the practitioners and scholars and provides results for further research avenues. The study reviews 374 literature sources in total using pre-selected keywords which were analysed using thematic and content analysis. Resu…
Dual Information Systems : A Review Of Factors Affecting Their Use
2019
More and more information systems (IS) are designed to address a blend of hedonic and utilitarian purposes, and hence become what information system scholars call today “dual systems.” The aim of this research is chiefly to provide a holistic perspective for research done regarding dual IS (i.e., what factors affect users’ adoption and post-adoption of these systems) in order to assess the state of knowledge in this area and to provide a reference point for system designers. To achieve this goal, we started out with a systematic literature review (35 articles), and analyzed the articles in terms of their theoretical background, constructs and findings. The results suggest that there is an i…
