A decentralized open web cryptographic standard

Security in web services is not well defined and is largely based on measures employed by the organization providing the service, the effectiveness of which vary greatly depending on the expertise, implementation, and business motivation. To address the mentioned issue, this paper proposes an open standard called Decentralized Open Web Cryptographic Standard (DOWCS) and reference implementation for decentralized protection of sensitive data. Services may adhere to the standards, to assure security to the end-user. Taking OAuth and PGP as reference models, the standard incorporates multiple layers of security to ensure secrecy of the said data while also decentralizing the key information required to derive the confidential data from the encrypted format.

A Review Paper on Work-Balance Life in Large Organization

There is a growing readiness in today's workplace that workers are not sacrificing their lives just because they are working. Work and health are always two of the most important aspects of a single married life. However, the process of processing job and non-employment applications is one of the modern ways of paying attention to both individuals and organizations. With the development of the diversity of family structures mentioned in today's workforce, especially with the evolving level of dual work families, the importance of tackling the working life balance has grown significantly in recent years. Managers understand that the immediate living environment of the employee and the home and family affects the quality of the work and that there are strong business motives for job advertising and non-work communication. In this project, we strive that helping employees achieve a working life balance should become a fundamental part of HR policy and practice in the event that it is to get the best out of the organisation's relatives without throwing them dissatisfied, old and dissatisfied, unfulfilled.

Open innovation programmes related to data and AI: How do the entrepreneurial orientations of startups align with the objectives of public funders?

AbstractOpen innovation programmes related to data and artificial intelligence have interested European policy-makers as a means of supporting startups and small and medium-sized enterprises to succeed in the digital economy. We discuss the objectives behind the typical service offerings of such programmes and propose a case for exploring how they align with the motivations of individual companies who are targeted by these initiatives. Using a qualitative analysis of 50 startup applications from the Data Market Services Accelerator programme, we find that applicants wrote most frequently about fundraising, acceleration and data skills. A smaller number of startups expressed interest in services related to standardization or legal guidance on General Data Protection Regulation and intellectual property rights, which are some of the ongoing priority areas for the European Commission. We discuss how the value propositions of these less desired offerings can be amplified by appealing the existing business motivations of data-driven startups.

THE ROLE OF FINANCIAL STRUCTURE, BUSINESS DRIVE, BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ON DECISION TO USE AN EXTERNAL AUDITOR ON SMES: EVIDENCE FROM ASEAN COUNTRIES

The research examined the role of financial structure, business drive, and business environment that resulted in external audit service adoption in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within ASEAN countries. Source of data were from the 2015 and 2016 World Bank Enterprise Survey. The research discovers that external audit service adoption is significantly influenced by financial structure, business motivation, and business environment. Additionally, we take into account a number of control variables, including sales, ownership structure, industry sector, and country of origin. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between sales, ownership structure (partnership vs. sole proprietorship), and external audit adoption for SMEs. From a country-of-origin perspective, it is concluded that audit adoption is significantly higher in Malaysia and the Philippines than in Vietnam. However, audit adoption in Indonesia is significantly lower than in Vietnam, both in terms of awareness and implementation. Other points of interest can be seen in the interaction regression between countries, which indicates the degree of complexity associated with audit adoption when country of origin is taken into account. One significant policy implication is that SMEs can leverage external auditor services to support their growth and, in turn, the economy of the corresponding country.

Creating Positive Impact: The Power of Greater Purpose and Consciousness of Connectedness

As the idea of business as a positive force in society continues to grow, we ask: Under what conditions do business leaders transform their companies into organizations that create positive value for all stakeholders, generate above-average economic returns, and serve personal well-being, community health, a fair and inclusive society, and a thriving natural environment? This study aims to explore the underlying factors and motivations of business as a force for good, and to identify practical guidance for business leaders wishing to create a positive impact through their organizations. Our prior research led us to hypothesize that a leader’s mindset—or consciousness—is the foundation of a leader’s orientation toward meaningful social responsibility, and that a clear higher purpose for a business galvanizes an organization toward positive outcomes. To test our understanding, we conducted a quantitative, survey-based study to explore the relationship between the consciousness of leaders, the expression of greater purpose as part of the business mission, the relational climate in the company, and the results achieved by the business (economic, social, and environmental). Our findings suggest that leader consciousness has a significant impact on the climate in an organization (which mediates the impact on business results), and that greater purpose is a powerful force impacting relational climate and positive economic, social, and environmental outcomes.

Multisided Platforms: Classification and Analysis

The multisided platform (MSP) is an essential business construct in the digital economy. Some of the largest companies in the world—including Google, Amazon, and eBay—exploit the MSP in their business models. Fundamental insights into the MSP are crucial to understand the business operations of the digital economy and how new innovative digital services are adopted in the market. The MSP ecosystem is complex and dynamic, and involves heterogeneous stakeholders with different business motivations. This paper classifies the various types of MSPs, distinguished by the network effect between user groups. Moreover, this paper shows how the original diffusion model of Frank Bass can be extended to analyze the temporal evolution of multisided platforms. Analytical models using coupled sets of ordinary differential equations are developed for several examples of two-sided platforms. For some of these examples, analytical solutions are found.

Identifying Institutional Barriers and Enablers for Sustainable Urban Planning from a Municipal Perspective

Steering towards a path of sustainability and resilience in urban environments depends greatly on effective institutions, governance and strategic planning. National governments are increasingly expanding municipal institutions’ mandates by delegating decision making on land-use planning and urban development to local and regional levels. This trend poses municipalities with a complex challenge of setting clear sustainability targets and lifting the institutional barriers inside and outside of their organisation. Based on the business motivation model (BMM), this study presents the results of a thematic analysis identifying barriers and enablers characterizing the institutional capacity base of a municipal organisation in the context of sustainability at an urban level. The results show that the most relevant barrier is the lack of standardisation in sustainability-related working practices, whereas the main institutional enablers relate to flexible working directives that promote the development of innovative projects. This points towards a strong need for a more integrated, dynamic and powerful development approach for sustainable urban areas on a local level.
