The impact of business processes in new media enterprises on youth university students social identity: an empirical study

Current approaches to support stakeholder’s collaboration in the modelling of business processes envision an egalitarian environment where stakeholders interact in the same context, using the same languages and sharing the same perspectives on the business process. However, these approaches ignore that Business Process Management (BPM) includes diverse stakeholders groups, such as end users that operate the business, business experts that understand the overall impact of business processes and process experts that master process design and analysis techniques. Therefore, such stakeholders have to collaborate in the context of process modelling using a language that some of them do not master, and integrate their various perspectives. In this paper we propose the Processpedia approach to foster effective collaboration among stakeholders without enforcing egalitarianism. Processpedia intends to be an ecological collaboration environment for knowledge production by capitalising on stakeholders’ distinctive characteristics.

Small and medium businesses generate about half of the country's added value and therefore has a significant weight in the economy. At the same time, SMEs have little use in their activities of business process management, which provides flexibility in the enterprise and turns ideas into actions. The purpose of this study is to model effective basic business processes for a company-SME on the basis of a functional approach, taking into account the available human and material resources. The study is based on a SME enterprise. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of financial indicators and current business processes of the enterprise made it possible, on the basis of a functional approach, to model and improve the business process of sales. The implementation of the modernized business process allowed to increase the conversion of leads, the amount and growth of agreements, the size and growth of revenue, labor productivity, growth of revenue, as well as the efficiency of marketing costs.The results and methods of this study can be used by SME top managers to modernize business processes to improve the overall efficiency of the enterprise.

Business process reengineering (BPR) is a fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical contemporary measures of performance such as cost, quality, speed and services (Al-Mashari and Zairi, 1999). However, the importance of BPR as a strategic management technique for managing customer services in the Nigerian banking industry can never be overemphasised. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the critical success factors (CSFs) of BPR on customer services (CS) in the Nigerian banking industry. The empirical study was conducted via the administration of 2,280 self-administered questionnaires to a randomly selected junior and senior staff of six, out of the 22 reengineered banks, post – 2004 consolidation exercise of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Using the framework from Khong and Richardson (2003), factors manifesting customer services were regressed on the CSFs, manifesting successful BPR. Findings based on the survey revealed that successful BPR can positively affect CS in Nigerian banks. Hence, successful BPR effort requires effective communication, commitment and support from the top management, appropriate job descriptions and allocation of responsibilities, recruitment of experienced consultants and adequate investment in IT infrastructure.

14 From the Editors From the EDITORS The idea to devote the thematic program of the journal in 2008 to the problem of “gardening empire” emerged from discussions during the seminar held inAugust 2007 in Kazan, Russia. The seminar was organized by the Ab Imperio editorial team and historians from Mainz University, Germany.An international group of scholars representing historical studies of empire from the Russian Federation, former Soviet Union countries, Europe and the US attended the event. Most participants were specialists in the history of Eastern Europe and the Russian empire, while the role of the seminar’s discussant was taken up by Ann Laura Stoler, an expert on colonialism and Western overseas empires. It was the discussant who drew the attention of the participants to the significant difference between the research agendas of the studies of Eastern European empires (at least as presented at the seminar) on the one hand, and colonial empires, on the other. This critical commentary triggered a fruitful discussion of “exceptionalism ,” both as a mode of self-description of imperial regimes and as a persistent modus operandi of historical understanding of empires. Since the age of classical antiquity until today empires or composite polities have been founded on some idea of their own uniqueness and exceptional historical path. This conception was dialectically transformed into a strategic vision of imperial universalism that prioritized imperial loyalties over regional, ethnic, confessional, and social identities and relegated the latter to the domain of the local and particular. While this 15 Ab Imperio, 1/2008 perception of exceptionalism can be found in many different schools of historiographic thought about empire, it is in the history of Russia that it is often expressed most visibly due to historical context. The relative absence in Russian studies of such phenomena (traditional for the studies of colonial empires) as marginalization, power operation in the domain of the intimate, and “carnal knowledge” surprised the seminar participants. This situation naturally invites a conclusion about the exceptional nature of Russian imperial experience and exceptionalism as a mode of history writing about empire. A series of questions emerged from the encounter between different academic traditions in studies of empire. Should historians aspire for a meta-interpretative framework that would account for peculiarities of that imperial experience from the view point of an external observer? Or, alternatively, should they reproduce and creatively re-work the trope of exceptionalism provided to us by languages of self-description or historiography (looking at exceptionalism as a norm and the way in which imperial political and social spaces function)? It appears obvious that those practices explored by post-colonial studies – manipulation of power, drawing of boundaries between categories of citizens, sanitary projects of “cleansing” societies from “infected” or “polluted” elements – are all characteristics of modern colonialism. A lack or presence of these lines of inquiry in the research agenda is taken to be a proof of the archaic or modernizing imperium. At the same time, the question can be reversed: is the conclusion about the archaic nature of the Russian Imperium an outcome of peculiar historical experiences, or is it a result of historiographic inertia and uncritical reading of the reification of imperial archaism in the languages of self-description and political contestation? The “Theory and Methodology” section in the current issue addresses these questions. In particular, Nicholas Breyfogle demonstrates that contemporary historiography exhibits the coexistence of different interpretative paradigms: from “modernizing” to those that reproduce the “archaism” and “exceptionalism” of Russian imperial experience. Is this historiographic polyphony a reflection of multiple layers and vectors of the real historical time in empire? (In this case, a proper research agenda is always determined by the choice of a particular set of individual imperial situations and contexts.) Can this be taken as the ultimate reflection of imperial exceptionalism? An empire that Ann Stoler missed in the papers of colleagues dealing with Eastern Europe may be called the “gardening empire” – an analog 16 From the Editors to the “gardening state” of Zygmunt Bauman. This notion presupposes the existence of the interventionist state whose power is based on modern scientific knowledge pertaining to nature, society, and politics. This knowledge entails practices of governance for “cultivation,” rationalization...

As Representational State Transfer (REST)-based Web APIs are spreading to enterprise information systems, software development for the use and provision of Web APIs is rapidly increasing. The quality of the Web APIs significantly influences the application quality and development productivity. However, no quality model for Web APIs has been established yet, because Web APIs differ from conventional APIs in that they execute remotely on different servers and may be changed independently of their users. These unique characteristics introduce new problems in the software engineering of Web APIs, and impose risks to the users, especially those using enterprise Web APIs, whose numbers are increasing. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a quality model for Web APIs that reflects their unique characteristics. As the main characteristics of this quality model, we propose the concept of Web API learnability to use and stability to change, from the perspective of Web API users. Based on this quality model, we also propose a set of measures and a quantitative evaluation method. In this study, we applied the proposed quality model and evaluation method to four types of actual Web APIs, including Uber, WordPress, OpenStack, and Media Processing. To validate the proposed model, we also conducted an empirical study of the usability of the Web APIs. Our comparison of the proposed quality statistics with those from the empirical study validates the effectiveness of the proposed quality model and its associated measures of the learnability and stability of Web APIs.

the general public has come under closer scrutiny from those who seek to obtain information about them, whether they like it or not, from technologies such as hidden cameras, Internet spyware, miniature recording devices, and super-telescopic photography lenses (e.g., Elder, Johnson, and Rishwain). Society's interest in voyeurism or curiosity (Baruh 202) appears to fuel a growing of television programming called reality TV. Its popularity has influenced traditional television journalistic newsgathering practices and along the way has created challenges regarding the public's right to privacy.In Wilson v. Layne and Berger v. Hanlon, the US Supreme Court's decisions affected newsgathering techniques that can be used by journalists while accompanying law enforcement officials during the execution of a search warrant. Shulman v. Group W Productions further altered the media's process of gathering information by clarifying access to emergency situations and access to patients where guarded personal information is exchanged between the victim and an emergency respondent.These decisions were meant to provide outlets with clear boundaries regarding the public's right to know versus the public's right to privacy or the First Amendment versus the Fourth (Esch; Gossett; C. Calvert). The outlets in question were print and broadcast news organizations in the Wilson and Berger decisions. The courts did not specify whether alternative programming provided by independent television production companies was included under the media ridealong decision.With the rise of reality-type information gathering, the question remains of whether or not these lines of privacy have been crossed (Mast). The theoretical and context of this research is to explore implications of decisions regarding privacy rights and apply them to justice (Erikson) and accident and emergency format (Kilborn; Bondebjerg) reality-type television programming.TheoreticalOrbe suggests using diverse methodological and theoretical approaches to critical scholarship (350). Cross-disciplinary research methods are employed during this article's exploratory study, including genre criticism (Butler 432) examining production techniques, critical analysis of reality television (Lunt; Hight), and critical or empirical studies (Trubek 585), where concepts are applied to sociological inquiry.Previous critical (CLS) are associated with application of social science and research on the behavior of actors (Trubek 600). Trubek postulates that a relationship exists between legal beliefs and practice (604) and social order and action. Critical empiricism (Coombe 71) in law is applicable in film theory, the ideological efficacy (118) of television. Causal research in CLS, proposes Tushnet, is an interminable critique (516) on social values. Miller posits the field of television borrows from CLS (3). CLS allows an opening in sociological research, with foundations providing a basis for critical application.This article examines the rise of the tabloid journalism type of reality television (Cavender and Fishman; B. Calvert et al.; Turner) and applies Prosser's torts on privacy to the production of nonfiction documentary-style programs, otherwise noted as reality-type television. The article focuses on one state case, Shulman v. Group W, and two federal cases, Berger v. Hanlon and Wilson v. Layne, to the application of reality television programming.Reality Television DefinedThere are many definitions of reality-based television programming. Prosise and Johnson, expanding on Cavender and Fishman, indicate a belief that reality programming blurs the line between news and entertainment . . . fact and fiction (Prosise and Johnson 73), where the videotaped interactions are presented to the audience as real rather than fictionalized encounters (e. …

Purpose – This paper aims to propose a service-oriented framework for performing content annotation and search, adapted to the task context. Media production workflows are becoming increasingly distributed and heterogeneous.The tasks of professionals in media production can be supported by automatic content analysis and search and retrieval services. Design/methodology/approach – The processes of the framework are derived top-down, starting from business goals and scenarios in audiovisual media production. Formal models of tasks in the production workflow are defined, and business processes are derived from the task models. A software framework enabling the orchestrated execution of these models is developed. Findings – This paper presents a framework that implements the proposed approach called Metadata Production Management Framework (MPMF). The authors show how a media production workflow for a real-world scenario is implemented using the MPMF. Research limitations/implications – The authors have demonstrated the feasibility of a model-based approach for media processing. In the reification step, there is still information that needs to be provided in addition to the task models to obtain executable processes. Future research should target the further automation of this process. Practical implications – By means of this approach, the implementation of the business process defines the workflow, whereas the services that are actually used are defined by the configuration. Thus, the processes are stable and, at the same time, the services can be managed very flexibly. If necessary, service implementations can also be completely replaced by others without changing the business process implementation. Originality/value – The authors introduce a model-based approach to media processing and define a reification process from business-driven task models to executable workflows. This enables a more task-oriented design of media processing workflows and adaptive use of automatic information extraction tools.

An increasing number of service-based business processes are being developed with the booming of BPaaS (Business Process as a Service) in cloud computing. The profits and performance of enterprises strongly depend on the soundness of their processes being bereft of control flow and data flow bugs. Although some work has focused on the detection of control flow bugs, few studies have comprehensively and empirically investigated data flow bugs in business processes. To this end, we report an empirical study on data flow bugs in business (BPEL) processes. Our analysis of 178 real-world BPEL processes reveals that data flow bugs are surprisingly common: 94 BPEL processes involve data flow bugs, among which redundant output is predominant. The distribution and common scenarios of data flow bugs provide a reference for BPEL process designers. We also investigate the correlation between process complexity metrics and data flow bugs. Based on the statistics of the process complexity metrics and data flow bugs in our empirical study, we present a method to select appropriate metrics as features of BPEL processes and utilize state-of-the-art supervised learning algorithms to predict data flow bugs in an unseen BPEL process. The prediction accuracies of the different classification algorithms exceed 90 percent on average when using our selected metrics.

An Empirical Study on the Impact of Economic aid on the Sustainable Development Ability of Impoverished College Students from the Perspective Conservation of Resource Theory Based on Computer Data Analysis

With the ascendance of liberal democracy, propaganda activities have vastly increased. The main aim of propaganda has been to protect state-corporate power from the threat of public understanding and participation. Because of its societal importance for public opinion formation, the news media constitutes an obvious channel for the dissemination of propaganda. However, contemporary communication, media and journalism studies have mostly neglected to critically assess the news media’s role in producing and distributing propaganda. In fact, despite of the news media’s integration into the state-corporate nexus, the term propaganda is rarely used in academic treatises on the news media. Furthermore, only a small number of scholars have engaged in elaborating a systematic understanding of the manifold propaganda techniques that are currently applied in liberal democracies. To fill these research gaps, this article maps out various concepts of propaganda and relates them to the process and content of the news media. On the basis of theoretical and empirical studies, the article demonstrates how different forms of propaganda can manifest in news media content. Based on an integration with, as well as a development of, existing literature, the essay aims to build a tool box that can be applied and refined in future studies in order to detect propaganda in news media texts.

Misinformation is extensively and speedily spreading on social media platforms. This leads to sever negative impact on users of social media and the quality of online created content. Fortunately, there is a growing interest among researchers to fight misinformation on social media by the production of algorithms that can detect low quality information. However, none of these studies focus on how to promote a healthier behaviour among social media users to minimize the act of spreading misinforming. In this paper, the author advocates that gamification can be adopted for the aim of enhancing users' behaviour towards misinformation and increasing their critical digital literacy. An empirical study was conducted to investigate users' perceptions with regards to the use of several gamification elements on social media to combat misinformation spread. The results indicated that users' preferences and perceptions vary and highlights the need for systematic and novel approaches to incorporate gamification into the design process of social media to combat misinformation spread. Based on the results, the author devised a conceptual framework that can serve as a guide for software engineers to design a gamified misinformation-aware social media.

Large organizations tend to have hundreds of business processes. Discovering and understanding the similarities among these business processes are useful to organizations for a number of reasons: (a) business processes can be managed and maintained more efficiently, (b) business processes can be reused in new or changed implementations, and (c) investment guidance on which aspects of business processes to improve can be obtained. In this empirical paper, we present the results of our study on over five thousand business processes obtained from SAP’s standardized business process repository divided up into two groups: Industry-specific and Cross-industry. The results are encouraging. We found that 39% of cross-industry processes and 43% of SAP-industry processes have commonalities. Additionally, we found that 20% of all processes studied have at least 50% similarity with other processes. We use the notion of semantic similarity on process and process activity labels to determine similarity. These results indicate that there is enough similarity among business processes in organizations to take advantage of. While this is anecdotally stated, to our knowledge, this is the first attempt to empirically validate this hypothesis using real-world business processes of this size. We present the implications and future research directions on this topic and call for further empirical studies in this area.
