Abstract:

Abstract:Based on personal experiences, observations are offered on health information in developing countries, ways in which information systems can be strengthened, and opportunities for health-information science graduates. Although data collection consumes a significant portion of the health worker’s day, information systems are often a low priority in developing countries. Health-information systems can be strengthened by focusing on local solutions, by building skills in health workers, by utilizing appropriate technology, and by integrating information systems into health programs. Health-information science graduates can assist in improving systems in developing countries, but this will require a broad and flexible definition of health information science, which is much more than computing technology; it is supporting health workers to define, manage, and apply the information they need.

Abstract:

The barriers to adopting new emerging technologies are the parts of the transformation process of the university which are willing to change to the future environment which is triggered by the Industrial Revolution 4.0. This research aims to identify whether and how Emerging Technologies 4.0 can be established in universities of developing countries. Besides the literature review method, the research was conducted in two stages: qualitative and quantitative. The samples were 250 universities. The findings of this research may help higher education and top-management-level universities and the ministry of education to initiate future strategies: first, finding the mechanism to solve the financial problem (the highest obstacles) faced by the university, such as public-private partnerships, foreign investment, joint ventures, or other industrial relationships; second, working closely with technology and infrastructure providers (the third-highest obstacles) by implementing the technical approach such as cloud computing, on-demand technology, sharing resources, and virtualization.

Abstract:

Most of the studies on IT personnel turnover intentions were carried out in the developed countries. Only a few researchers have focused on developing countries. The authors' study makes a comparative study of IT personnel turnover intentions in two sub-Saharan African countries (Botswana and Nigeria) using the Igbaria and Greenhaus turnover model. The intent was to find out if the same model elements affect turnover intentions in the two countries. The results show that demographic variables (age and length of service), the role stressors (role ambiguity and role conflict), the career related variables (growth opportunity, supervisor support and external career opportunities), job satisfaction and career satisfaction have direct effect on turnover intentions in these two developing countries, while other affectors in the research model do not hold equally for the two countries, except for growth opportunity.

Abstract:

Background/Objective: The adoption of Information and communication technology (ICT) in developing countries is increasing during last two decades. This study explores the determinants of ICT adoption in 67 selected developing countries. Methods/Statistical analysis: Panel data was collected from World Bank and International telecommunication websites for the period of 2000 to 2018. This study explores the impact of access to electricity, ICT good imports, financial development index, GDP per capita, urban population, control of corruption and government effectiveness on ICT adoption. Selected developing countries are divided into four panels such as low income, lower middle, upper middle and high income countries. Pesaran CSD, Friedman CSD and Frees CSD tests are used to check the presence of cross-sectional dependency in the panel data. The results confirmed the presence of crosssectional dependency in the variables and hence CIPS second generation unit root test is used for stationarity. Kao test is used to check the long run cointegration among the variables. FMOLS is used for regression analysis. Findings: The regression results show the mixed findings in different panels. The results indicate that access to electricity is an important determinant of ICT adoption in low and lower middle income developing countries. ICT imports and Government effectiveness are among the significant determinants of ICT adoption in low, upper middle and high income developing countries. GDP per capita is an important variable for each panel. Urban population is found to enhance ICT adoption in lower middle and high income developing countries. It is recommended that Government should focus on these important determinants to increase the ICT adoption in selected developing countries. Novelty/Application: ICT development index is used as a dependent variable instead of components of ICT such as internet, mobile phone and computer penetration. New econometrics techniques and variables are used in analysis.

Abstract:

Abstract:Computer-based technologies such as information systems and expert systems have an undoubted contribution to health-care development in developing countries. This paper addresses the appropriateness of these technologies for developing countries, the criteria to be used in selection of the technology to be transferred, and the need for a systematic approach to evaluation. A conceptual model for assessing transferability so as to achieve an effective transfer, has been introduced. This requires not only an attempt to amplify the role of information and expert systems in health-care improvement and for socio-economic development, but the analysis of prior experience in transferring these technologies to developing countries. Following this approach, and using operational research techniques such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process, a subjective assessment model has been described that can systematically guide decision-making about computer-based health-care technology to be transferred to developing countries.

Abstract:

Personal computers (PC's), cell phones, fax machines and related electronic equipment, have become a part of modern life in developed and many developing countries. While theses devices have improved our productivity, they also have created a unique problem of disposal of the discarded electronic or e-waste. In the United States, PCs become outdates within an average period of 3-4 years. Continued technological innovations, aided by lower price of the new models, further reduce the useful life of PCs to an even shorter period. It is estimated that in the US alone, during the 10 year period. 1997-2007, an estimated 500 million PCs will become obsolete, awaiting disposal. Owing to the toxic nature of many heavy metals, organic, and inorganic compounds that go into manufacturing the computer and the monitor, their disposal in a landfill or by incineration is not a preferred option. Recyclers attempt to salvage as many of the re-usable materials as possible. However, the labor-intensive process makes computer recycling cost-prohibitive in the United States. This has resulted in shipping the obsolete PCs to countries like Bangladesh, China and India. While this practice enables the domestic recycling companies to reduce the cost, it creates serious health and environmental problems for the workers in developing countries. Generally, environmental and labor laws in such countries are not very specific and even where they are, their enforcement is very lax. Such situations lead top recycling crews working in makeshift factories with hardly any provisions to protect them from exposure to hazardous substances primarily through inhalation of the toxic fumes causing cancer and other serious health problems.

Abstract:

The decrease in coordination and transaction costs on account of information technology creates more opportunities for firms to make production “footloose”; it allows firms to base different parts of their business in different countries and connect them by real time information networks. The rapid growth in information services is thus facilitating the integrated international production of goods and services. This paper discusses the linkages between information technology and economic globalisation, and examines the reality of developing countries in relation to the perceived benefits of information technology and globalisation to these countries. Moreover the issues involved in furthering the information technology effort in Pakistan are also discussed in the paper. While the usefulness of additional resources to further the establishment of an information technology base in developing countries cannot be denied, the paper argues that substantial headway can also be made with the existing resources given a more considered approach to the problem. Basic to a higher level of information technology involvement and interaction in the economy is that policy-makers at the government and organisational levels develop an understanding of the impact of technology in their objective of improved economic welfare. The paper therefore discusses the set of policies, short-term and long-term, needed to help draw the country into the integrated international production system reflective of the current trends of economic globalisation.

Abstract:

This exploratory research identifies and investigates factors that affect the delivery of local information in a developing country. The service provider and 195 local institutions based in Medellin, Colombia collaborate through an online portal, Infolocal, constituting a local information landscape (LIL). The study implements a conceptual framework for the LIL and highlights deficiencies in traditional local information service models. A Delphi study was conducted with global experts of local information services (LIS) in order to refine the traditional Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model constructs for the Infolocal information service. Second, a survey was developed based on the revised categories (effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, organisational support, and affective commitment) and disseminated to the local institutions to assess their perceptions of the service. This data was then evaluated using exploratory factor analysis. The study found that theories of technology acceptance were insufficient in explaining the disjunctions in the information landscape of this service. This study contributes to closing a gap in understanding the perceptions of LIS practice from the perspective of institutions that engage directly with citizens’ technology acceptance and use behaviour in a multilevel relationship. This article captures, compares, and analyses the disjunctions between the theoretical frameworks as espoused by experts and the practices of LIS.

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to investigate the reasons for the large scale tax noncompliance prevalent in underdeveloped countries despite many years of information technology (IT)-led tax administration reforms. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on in-depth interviews with 18 senior tax administration officials. Their experiences were used to construct a grounded theory to explain the constraint of IT in tackling the prevalent tax noncompliance in underdeveloped countries. Findings First, IT is not immune to the systemic corruption prevalent in many developing countries; hence, it is quickly compromised. Second, IT can be efficient in dealing with registered taxpayers but cannot deal with the overwhelming large numbers of operators in the informal sector. Third, E-tax administration, which is a hallmark of IT-led tax administrations in advanced countries, is very slow to catch up in developing countries. A computerized tax administration alone, as currently obtainable in developing countries, is not enough to engender large usage of e-filing. Businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), need IT infrastructure as well to align with tax administration. Unfortunately, basic IT infrastructure is yet to be available to a large section of SMEs in developing countries. Research limitations/implications Underdeveloped countries are diverse. This study is from a single country and there may be need to take note of other countries’ peculiarities. However, Nigeria constitutes a good case study. Practical implications There is need to reform the people and systems along with IT originality/value. Originality/value To the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to explore this very important question and among the first to explore tax administrators’ perspectives.

Abstract:

Objective: This study examines the factors that influence information system (IS) interoperability of e-Government focusing on IS Interoperability as the key concept to reach successful e-Government implementation in Jordan. Methodology: Use of qualitative methods of inquiry has been made to explore study variables and their relationships. A variety of published literatures related to scope of the study has been reviewed along with analyzing the e-Government strategy in Jordan during period 2014-2016. The interoperability levels of e-Government IS have been discussed in this paper. Finally, significant barriers that affect IS interoperability have been identified along with the factors that can drive it successful implementation. Findings: Technical, semantic, and organizational interoperability are main stages for successful e-Government IS interoperability. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure, top management support, human resources, data and information, security and privacy, and business process have been found as the major obstacles. Whereas, high level interoperability goals, commitment of government bodies, and customer focus have been identified as main success factors that lead to e-Government IS interoperability. The study suggests that strategies and work process should be aligned, common standards and knowledge should be shared to move towards e-transformation in Jordan. Implications: This study can be starting point for the real life practical solutions for successful implementation of e-Government conceptual frame work. Finding of the study can be used to generalize about the factors that lead to success of IS interoperability within government agencies in other developing countries. This study enriches existing literature in this context. On practical side, the study contributes by identifying IS interoperability success factors and barriers within government agencies. The proposed conceptual model is first stage in the process of understanding factors that influence e-Government IS interoperability. Further studies may be needed to empirically evaluate the proposed conceptual model.

Abstract:

Creativity has been a major key word in the city planning and urban marketing policies all over the world. Arguably, it ensures an image that can ensue marketable branding of a city. Thus, a creative city has major socio-economic implications. However, the question remains how a creative environment in a city can be engendered and an attractive image can be built. In the contemporary age, Information Communication Technology (ICT) apparently has increasingly been influencing every sphere of the city functions, and it is hypothesized that it will assist in building a creative image of a city. Therefore, the objectives of the paper are (1) to map the theoretical insights on the concepts of creativity, city image building and branding; and (2) to explore the influence of ICT on developing image of a creative city. The investigation was conducted by using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. A stimulating mix of literature review and case study analyses were done to develop the concept of a creative city and image building. Besides, using a survey research method and by considering two cities (Bloemfontein from South Africa and Bhubaneswar from India) two case studies were performed to examine how ICT can engender a creative image of a city in developing countries. Findings suggest that although urban creativity is not a revolutionary approach towards urban policies, and there are criticisms against such concept, economic variables, such as, business environment, entrepreneurship and innovation, availability of knowledge workers and ICT activities; socio-cultural variables, such as, art, culture, receptive attitude, safety and tolerance; and environmental variables, such as, cleanliness, greenery, quality public spaces and tourism enforce distinct images of cities. It is also revealed that ICT can play a catalytic role in the creative image building as it contributes extensively in the form of enabling better business environment, bringing social cohesion and multicultural tolerance, promoting tourism and engendering of clean environment. However, the image of every city could be unique depending on the attributes focused and reinforced in the development of a city.
