As information technology (IT)-based regulation has become critical and pervasive for contemporary organizing, systems research turns mostly a deaf ear to the topic. Current explanations of IT-based fit into received frameworks such as structuration theory, actor-network or neoinstitutional analyses but fail recognize unique capacities IT related regulatory practices offer powerful means. Any system is made up rules, practices, artifacts their relationships. We propose this trifecta...

In this paper we examine the adequacy of IS security standards to needs SMEs. Using findings literature review, identify general criticism for standards. Further, benchmark recently published ISO 27001 standard 9000 - a similar with 20 years history develop expectations how future adoption introduced can be fostered. We suggest, among other, that legislative environment play crucial role further growth adoption.

Abstract An increasing number of locally developed technologies have been globalising, and latecomers like China or South Korea are active in setting their national technology as international standards. This study presents five cases information communications (ICT) standardisation by examines promotion indigenous International involves complicated networks domestic global stakeholders with different interests. Good coordination is therefore required. We identify differences similarities...

The early development of blockchain technology (BCT) has already demonstrated the technology's potential to serve needs different industries. BCT also become established as a popular research topic in scientific disciplines. This paper aims at introducing how several relevant disciplines—supply chain management; management, economics and finance; computer science; security engineering—see education perspectives for BCT. A field review is conducted present challenges opportunities BCT, well...

Standards have become critical to information and communication technologies (ICTs) as they complex pervasive. We propose a process theory framework explain anticipatory standardizing outcomes post hoc when the is viewed networks of events. Anticipatory standards define future capabilities for ICT ex ante in contrast existing practices or through de facto standardization market. The theoretical offers following: a) lexicon form ontology typology events; b) grammar, set combination rules,...

Standards may be arrived at through various coordination mechanisms, including cooperation, coopetition, or competition.This article explores how technological uncertainty affects the mechanism for standardization.The is based on Community Innovation Survey, a sizeable firm-level survey representative of Luxembourgish economy.The econometric analysis finds evidence that firms facing will choose standardization competition and coopetition.

This article examines the dynamics of inter- and intra-firm networks in technical standard setting initiatives, how complex social align these initiatives. Specifically, we argue that standardization, economic interactions are blended. In standardization activities, firm behavior individuals within firms is best explained through an integration social, political, perspectives. this use two main bodies theory. First, draw on literature alliance formation. Second network theory to complement...

Abstract Standards are ubiquitous, affecting the lives and business of citizens, companies governments in a multitude ways. As around world realised economic consequences stemming from standardisation, newcomers to international standardisation arena have found themselves at disadvantage owing lack expertise skills contribute process, 'barring' strategies practiced by keepers system part as result Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) royalties they collect globally imposed standards. In this...

It is based on qualitative analysis industry survey data, matched to a similar data and analyses from other countries. presents taken one most comprehensive sample surveys firm activity e-commerce. analyzes differences among three sectors, between small/medium large firms using both interpretations direct observations well use structural equation...

In an increasing number of countries governments consider to stimulate the role open standards in public Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure development. The aim this work is identify important issues related government policy with regard development ICT infrastructure. This multi-method research presents results from exploratory literature review multi-round Delphi survey key experts field standardization.

The promise of immutable documents to make it easier and less expensive for consumers producers collaborate in a verifiable way would represent an enormous progress, especially as companies strive establish service contracts which are based on the flow many small transactions using machine-to-machine communication. blockchain technology logs these data, verifies authenticity them available offers. This work deal with architecture enabling setup order processing between blockchain. In this...

More and more companies operate today in a worldwide market under conditions of globalization, increased complexity, competition. In such an environment, business decisions need to be made quickly yet intelligent, substantiated by the most salient relevant information available. Under global competition, with diligent measured manner, many are increasingly treating like economic war. Enterprises methodically monitoring investigating their competitors, while deploying all resources they have...

The use of additive manufacturing technologies for industrial production is constantly growing. This technology differs from the known procedures. areas scheduling, detailed and sequence planning are particularly important due to long print times flexible area. Therefore, production-relevant variables considered used control (PPC) machines. For this purpose, an optimization model presented which shows a time-oriented build space utilization. In implementation, nesting algorithm check...

Abstract. Urban heritage preservation (UHP) is an important venue of public administration, in which the adoption novel IT solutions highly desired, yet novelty and sophistication technology creates challenges to decision makers their task choosing and/or funding appropriate innovation projects. In this paper, we report on development a prototype tool for automated urban risk monitoring. Our aim twofold: 1) provide analysis different reality capture strategies AI-based imagery recognition...

This article examines three wireless data services, two of which became true killer applications cellular telephony-Short Message Service (SMS) in the European GSM telephony standard and Internet access service i-mode Japanese DoCoMo. We build an intuitive technology acceptance model order to reveal whether success/popularity (or unpopularity) particular services depended on was shaped by end-users, providers, or manufacturers. try reasons for tremendous success SMS compared unpopularity...

In this paper we examine the emerging industry of Cognitive Radio/Software Defined Radio (CR/SDR), a sector which in some ways seconds structure cellular mobile communications, while bearing distinctive characteristics. Any radio telecommunications infrastructure depends on scarce resources – frequency spectrum that require policy decisions for allocation to specific countries and services. CR/SDR may constitute new paradigm communications as it completely or partially eliminate role...

In this work we adopt the theoretical framework of co-evolutionary analysis to explore different roles relevant stakeholders in development Cognitive Radio (CR) systems modern wireless market. Our is aimed at yielding better understanding factors upon which success or failure commercialization CR will depend and their possible link policy standardisation. shows benefits coordinated across various domains: technology, particular, build a compelling case that domain its respective represent...

Wireless communication technology has the potential to impact beneficially modern medical practice through use of biomedical sensors combined with small intercommunicating radio transceivers. This development will enable cost-effective continuous monitoring patients in hospitals and other healthcare centers. It is anticipated that a large number body area networks (MBANs) soon operate unlicensed frequency bands, fact create coexistence problem legacy equipment. situation particularly...
