The research focuses on the influence of emotional, cognitive, and social climate on the language choices of multilingual families, and the impact they can have on their general well-being, intergenerational relationships, and the community context. The methodological framework of reference is Grounded Theory. Collected data concern language practices, attitudes, emotions, and generational, trigenerational, and social interactive dynamics of multilingual families. The results include key insights into the variables underlying the linguistic attitudes of multicultural families. Two Network Views suggest that linguistic attitudes, such as the conscious management of specific and complex dynam…
ICT Barriers and Critical Success Factors in Developing Countries
2013
Since the early 1990s, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been perceived as a catalyst for development. However, the UNICEF State of the World’s Children Report 2011 acknowledges that the poor in many developing countries remain largely excluded from ICT and its benefits. This paper aims to address three issues. Firstly, identify ICT barriers in the literature from 2000 to 2011. Secondly, identify ICT barriers through empirical findings and thirdly, categorize these barriers into critical success factors. These aims are achieved by comparing the findings in the literature to our recent empirical results. Two methodologies are used in this study, namely, a systematic literatu…
Providing a general framework about spin-off success factors in complex environments
2018
Spin-off organisations are the main vehicle for knowledge transfer from universities and/or high educational institutions (HEIs) to the economic system. Spin-off firms are complex phenomenon which requires particular conditions to its creation, survival and development. In the last decade, the scientific debate recognised the importance and the role of spin-off organisations, but the main factors and actors that impact on their creation, survival and development are not always clear. This paper aims to fill this gap, shedding light on this black box. In a first step, this research will identify the main 'success factors' for creation of spin-offs. In the second step, the relationship betwee…
Critical success factors for business intelligence system implementation
2017
Business intelligence (BI) eli liiketoimintatiedon hallinta auttaa organisaatioita tekemään parempia päätöksiä nopeammin. BI-järjestelmä voidaan nähdä sarjana työkaluja, teknologioita ja ohjelmistoja, jotka tukevat päätöksentekoa. Nämä järjestelmät ovat monimutkaisia ja niiden käyttöönotto sisältää suuria riskejä sekä vaatii paljon aikaa, rahaa ja vaivaa. Tämän vuoksi on tärkeää tunnistaa tekijät, jotka ovat tärkeitä käyttöönoton onnistumisen takaamiseksi. Tämä tutkielma keskittyi tunnistamaan BI-järjestelmän käyttöönoton kriittiset menestystekijät ja ymmärtämään miksi juuri nämä tekijät ovat tärkeitä. Menestystekijät löydettiin ja niitä analysoitiin hyödyntämällä olemassaolevaa kirjallisuu…
Adding Domain Analysis to Software Development Method
2002
The researchers in the field of software development regard the reuse of components as one possible approach when creating quality software in less time and with fewer people. When components are used and created in the software development, one critical success factor is the use of domain analysis (DA). We report an action case study where the DA technique is first integrated into an existing software development method and then refined based on the experience of using it in a pilot project. The results indicate that our approach produces reusable components across a company-wide domain and eases the use of them in other development projects within domain.

Food products, gastronomy and religious tourism: The resilience of food landscapes
2021
Abstract Religious tourism has always been a sector of significant importance in the field of cultural tourism. Religious tourism is located both in urban areas and in rural areas. In rural areas in the past it did not represent a factor of great impact on the local economy as most of the population lived in rural areas. With the advent of modern society and with the phenomena of agricultural and rural exodus, linked to the increase in income in developed societies, religious tourism becomes a critical success factor for many rural areas as a historical heritage. This aspect is of significant importance if we consider that it can represent a real engine of development especially for rural a…
Economic Intelligence: Using Innovation to Reinvent the Business
2020
This paper is about showing how economic intelligence could be a tool for relevant innovation decision support and how its integration within the firm can strengthen its innovation capabilities, protect itself from competitors and ensure an essential competitive edge. Innovation is a difficult concept to identify. It’s a complex process that involves all of the firm’s behaviors. Innovation is a decisive choice and risk-taking. Today, it holds a prominent place in corporate strategy. Innovative firms need information about their environments that are characterized by stiffer competition, resulting in the need to keep abreast of competitors’ movements, vendor characteristics and changing tech…
Leveraging a Wiki to EnhanceVirtual Collaboration in the Emergency Domain
2008
In a crisis situation, critical success factors include good preparedness, the availability of trustworthy information and reliable people, and the responders' ability to improvise with the available, functioning tools. Wikis can be used as collaborative group support systems to support these activities, especially for communities of practice that must operate as high reliability organizations. The advantages of using a wiki are especially beneficial in volatile environments, such as those in the emergency domain, where critical real-time decision making is required. An international wiki emergenciWiki.org - has been created and is being used by both practitioners and academics. The conclus…
