Abstract

The developments of the Digital Economy will have a fundamental impact on the structures and processes of economic systems. Within this new economy the importance of the creation and maintenance of a relationship between a customer and a supplier is increasing, but the way to handle this relationship is changing. Therefore, we focus on the upcoming challenges to relationships between suppliers and customers. Viewing this focus in more detail we will develop the outline of a new, holistic approach to the ...

Abstract

Now is the time for government and business leaders to recognise the value created by smart city thinking. The technology-enabled city is an untapped source of sustainable growth and represents a powerful approach for tackling unprecedented environmental and economic challenges. By unlocking technology, infrastructure and public data, cities can open up new value chains that spawn innovative applications and information products that make possible sustainable modes of city living and working. While smart initiatives are underway in urban centres around the ...

Abstract

Die Nutzung von Social Media auf einer breiten gesellschaftlichen Basis nimmt in atemberaubender Geschwindigkeit zu. Immer stärker werden genuine Praktiken der Social Media Nutzung ausgebildet und weitergegeben. Der Soziologie fehlt es bisher jedoch an einem eindeutigen Begriffsapparat, um sich die Nutzungsprakti-ken beobachten zu können. Ich vergleiche in diesem Artikel aus der soziologisch-praxistheoretischen Perspektive zwei mögliche Ansätze um Praktiken klassifizieren zu können und gesellschaftliche Veränderungsprozesse durch Social Media adäquat beschreiben zu können. ...

Abstract

Open government data (OGD) refers to making public sector information freely available in open formats and ways that enable public access and facilitate exploitation. Lately, a large number of OGD initiatives launched worldwide aiming to implement one-stop portals acting as single points of access to governmental data. At the same time, the so-called linked data technologies emerged aiming at publishing structured data on the web in such a way that enables semantically enriching data, uniform access to data, and linking of ...

Abstract

Planners are challenged to engage the public in meaningful ways to shape planning processes. There has been rapid growth in the use of online social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, and planners are struggling to understand how best to use these technologies to engage the public. This study examines more than 49,000 microblogs posted on Twitter and other social networking sites, tracked by Social Networking and Planning Project (SNAPP) to determine public engagement in the Strategic Transportation Mobility Plan ...

Abstract

Abstract The heated controversy over ?citizen participation,? ?citizen control?, and ?maximum feasible involvement of the poor,? has been waged largely in terms of exacerbated rhetoric and misleading euphemisms. To encourage a more enlightened dialogue, a typology of citizen participation is offered using examples from three federal social programs: urban renewal, anti-poverty, and Model Cities. The typology, which is designed to be provocative, is arranged in a ladder pattern with each rung corresponding to the extent of citizens' power in determining the ...

Abstract

In response to the increasing influence of practice theory perspectives for studying organisational and inter-organisational information systems, we demonstrate that an important dilemma from this perspective for data collection methods is between authentic access to practices and the ability to thematize knowledge of practices. We propose a promising new approach to this dilemma that uses the learning experiences of novice practitioners to collect data as they are progressively enrolled in the practice, and describe two instantiations of this new approach, practice ...

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a survey conducted by WorldatWork and Buck Consultants in fall 2012 to research the use and effectiveness of emerging technology tools(gamification, mobile technology and social networking or social media) to engage employees in improving their health and well-being. Today’s health-care benefits require individuals to absorb an increasing share of expanding health-care costs. At the same time, the effect of poor health and unhealthy lifestyles is a major concern in many parts of the world — not only due ...

Abstract

Business model innovation is vital to sustaining open innovation. External technology partnerships allow open business models to accomplish even more. One important mechanism for innovating one's business model is through establishing co-development relationships. The proper character of these relationships varies, depending on the context for the relationship. To sustain co-development relationships, one must carefully define the business objectives and align the business models of each firm. One should also determine whether the various R&D capabilities are core, critical or contextual. The ...

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to address the smart innovation ecosystem characteristics that elucidate the assembly of all smart city notions into green, interconnected, instrumented, open, integrated, intelligent, and innovating layers composing a planning framework called, Smart City Reference Model. Since cities come in different shapes and sizes, the model could be adopted and utilized in a range of smart policy paradigms that embrace the green, broadband, and urban economies. These paradigms address global sustainability challenges at a local context. ...

Abstract

Bürgerbeteiligung ist „en vogue“. Nicht nur die Auseinandersetzungen um das Bahnhofsgroßprojekt „Stuttgart 21“ haben dafür gesorgt, dass wieder intensiv über Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer verstärkten Einbindung von Bürgern im Vorwege von Verwaltungsentscheidungen diskutiert wird. Bisher wenig im Fokus stand dabei die Frage, wie es um die Qualität der Beteiligungsergebnisse bestellt ist und wie sich diesbezüglich Verbesserungen realisieren lassen. Der Beitrag setzt sich eingehend mit den grundlegenden Begrifflichkeiten und dem Akteurssystem von Bürgerbeteiligung und insbesondere E-Partizipation auseinander, um anhand dessen die Notwendigkeit ...

Abstract

Obwohl sich »Open Government« immer deutlicher zu einem Leitparadigma der Verwaltungsmoderni-sierung entwickelt, ist gleichzeitig eine weitverbreitete Unklarheit über den Begriffsinhalt feststellbar. Der nachfolgende Beitrag bemüht sich daher um eine Systematisierung bereits vorgeschlagener Verständnisse und schlägt ein »Zwei-Stadien«-Modell vor, das die mittlerweile unüberschaubare Vielzahl an Schlagworten, Teilkonzepten und Technologien einzuordnen hilft. ...

Abstract

This article explores the opening and the free usage of stored public sector data, supplied by state. In the age of Open Government and Open Data it’s not enough just to put data online. It should be rather weighed out whether, how and which supplied public sector data can be published. Open Data are defined as stored data which could be made accessible in a public interest without any restrictions for usage and distribution. These Open Data can possibly be statistics, ...

Abstract

eParticipation is an emerging research area which, like most emerging areas, lacks a clear literature base or research approach. This study maps out some of the academic theories and disciplines that the new area addresses, using conventional literature study techniques. We identify 99 articles that are considered to be highly relevant to eParticipation. We develop a definitional schema that suggests different ways of understanding an emerging research area, and use this schema to identify key academic articles that help to define ...

Abstract

In this study we examine the effect of customers' participation in a firm's social media efforts on the intensity of the relationship between the firm and its customers as captured by customers' visit frequency. We further hypothesize and test for the moderating roles of social media activity and customer characteristics on the link between social media participation and the intensity of customer-firm relationship. Importantly, we also quantify the impact of social media participation on customer profitability. We assemble a novel data ...

Abstract

In recent years, tagging systems have become increasingly popular. These systems enable users to add keywords (i.e., "tags") to Internet resources (e.g., web pages, images, videos) without relying on a controlled vocabulary. Tagging systems have the potential to improve search, spam detection, reputation systems, and personal organization while introducing new modalities of social communication and opportunities for data mining. This potential is largely due to the social structure that underlies many of the current systems.Despite the rapid expansion of applications that ...

Abstract

This article contributes to the growing body of literature on government transparency by developing a model for studying the construction of transparency in interactions between governments and stakeholders. Building on theories about complex decision making, a heuristic model is developed that consists of a strategic, a cognitive, and an institutional perspective. To test the model's value, it is applied to two empirical cases: Dutch schools and the Council of the European Union. Applying the model to the school case provides insights ...

Abstract

Social media applications are slowly diffusing across all levels of government. The organizational dynamics underlying adoption and use decisions follow a process similar to that for previous waves of new information and communication technologies. The authors suggest that the organizational diffusion of these types of new information and communication technologies, initially aimed at individual use and available through markets, including social media applications, follows a three-stage process. First, agencies experiment informally with social media outside of accepted technology use policies. Next, ...

Abstract

We show that easily accessible digital records of behavior, Facebook Likes, can be used to automatically and accurately predict a range of highly sensitive personal attributes including: sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious and political views, personality traits, intelligence, happiness, use of addictive substances, parental separation, age, and gender. The analysis presented is based on a dataset of over 58,000 volunteers who provided their Facebook Likes, detailed demographic profiles, and the results of several psychometric tests. The proposed model uses dimensionality reduction for ...

Abstract

In this article, based on data collected through interviews and a workshop, the benefits and adoption barriers for open data have been derived. The results suggest that a conceptually simplistic view is often adopted with regard to open data, which automatically correlates the publicizing of data with use and benefits. Also, five “myths” concerning open data are presented, which place the expectations within a realistic perspective. Further, the recommendation is provided that such projects should take a user's view. [ABSTRACT FROM ...

Abstract

Software vendors increasingly offer web-based services (SaaS) at a subscription fee. Because they need a network of service partners to generate customer value, SaaS providers have to focus on business model (BM) design. In this study, a decision support system (DSS) is developed to help SaaS in this process, based on a design approach consisting of a design process that is guided by various design methods. The outcome of the design process is a computer-based tool that takes important BM evaluation ...

Abstract

In 2009, the departments in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government received the presidential marching order to “harness new technologies” in order to become more transparent, collaborative and participatory. Given this mandate, this article sets out to provide insights from qualitative interviews with social media directors to understand the factors that influence internal adoption decisions to use social media applications, such as Facebook, Twitter, or blogs. Three distinct factors influence the adoption decisions of social media directors: information about ...
