The Role of Electronic Health in the Coronavirus Disease Crisis: A Systematic Review of Documents

Introduction: Epidemic diseases have always caused considerable physical and financial casualties for governments. By the end of the year 2019, the Covid19 pandemic emerged for the first time in China and rapidly infected the globe. As information technology plays a significant role in the current healthcare system, the aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review to determine the role of electronic health in the Covid19 crisis.Material and Methods: This review was carried out on articles published from December 2019 until March 17th 2020 by searching keywords and their equivalents in "MeSH" in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases and Google search engine.Results: In total, from 72 found articles, 28 were recognized based on their research topic. After imposing inclusion and exclusion criteria, eventually 6 original articles and 8 reports were selected for further analysis. Results showed that reviewed articles had mentioned the effective role of IT in diagnosing Corona patients, addressing the spread of the disease, providing sufficient education for the public to prevent the disease, and recognizing high-risk areas. Telemedicine, machine learning algorithms, deep learning, Augmented intelligence, neural networks, Global positioning system, and geographical information system have been the most widely used technologies.Conclusions: It was shown that defeating the Covid19 is impossible without the help of technology. Experiences with the effectivity of using electronic health in controlling and monitoring the prevalence of Covid19 can be used to deal with other pandemic diseases in the future as well; and to avoid possible casualties and economic regressions while rapidly providing solutions for similar critical situations.

Exploring “high tech” and “high touch” interaction capabilities: aligning the IT portfolio with customer and supplier relationships

PurposeTo explore the emergent characteristics of IT portfolios in business-to-business (B2B) firms. The goal is to develop a model that clarifies what interaction capabilities B2B firms develop and to what form of IT this corresponds to.Design/methodology/approachWe apply an a priori conceptual framework that is based on the Industrial Marketing and Purchasing (IMP) Group's theoretical focus on business relationships. The framework depicts the business relationship as dealing with uncertainty and equivocality as well as building and upholding reliance and trust. We utilize a case study approach involving a focal firm and ten of its customers and suppliers. Building on 60 interviews, field observations and archival data, we analyze interviewee responses and the complementary data to evaluate the role of IT in supporting or automated various aspects of organizational relationships.FindingsResults show how “high tech” and “high touch” relate to different interaction capabilities, which firms develop based on the characteristics of their business relationships. Although IT is associated with “high tech” and “high touch” interaction capabilities, some forms of IT are deployed to support the former, while other forms support the later. Both forms of technology-enabled interaction capabilities require investment, and firms must balance investment costs against the value created by improved interaction capabilities.Originality/valueOur findings emphasize the interorganizational perspective (dyadic or network) rather than a solely organizational perspective for understanding IT portfolio development. This perspective is presented through an emergent tech–touch interaction capability model that shows how B2B firms can align their IT portfolio based on the specific characteristics of their business relationships.

Technology Trends: Winning With ACES

Will there be another thriving twenties, as there was in the previous century? For more than a decade, companies worldwide have been very successful and in continuous growth. Since mid-2019, the global economy has been darkening. Economy and even society are at a turning point. Trade barriers and local protectionism are enforced, the digital divide is fast growing, and the spread of infectious diseases such as the coronavirus severely hampers global collaboration and supply chains. Simply continuing as before is no longer an option. At the same time, the role of software and IT is being questioned due to its growing misuse and abuse, such as in so-called social media (which in fact is often not at all social), and fake news infiltrating politics and society.

Role of IT in Effectiveness of Knowledge Management Practices in Business: An Empirical Study

Vital source for corporate competitiveness is knowledge and there are huge number of information technology solutions providing support to knowledge management. One of the significant problem to be discussed is role of information technology in success or failure to implement Knowledge management. To reflect knowledge of employees the term “Knowledge is Power” is used in organizations and considered as asset in companies. Knowledge management is a major driving force for organizational changes and creation of wealth and company utilizing employee’s knowledge and recognizing it as an intellect capital having competitive advantage. Effective leveraging of knowledge needs usage of information technology. Though, knowledge management in companies is more than just application of information technology, it needs it as an enabler promoting creation, storing, distributing, and retrieving knowledge for reuse. Knowledge management activities cannot be achieved with implementation of information technology in this century where there is need of rapid access to significant knowledge is enormously rising. The sample size of the study was 191 respondents. The data analysis was performed with the help of t-test and mean.

Readiness, Roles, and Responsibilities of Stakeholders for Sustainable Mobile Learning Adoption in Higher Education

The extant literature on mobile learning in higher education has mainly focused on students and academics. This study conducted in a Nigerian university considered a wider group of stakeholders (students, academics, IT personnel, and administrative leaders) in its investigation of stakeholders’ awareness, willingness, and readiness for mobile learning adoption, using a mixed methods approach. The findings revealed that while the awareness of mobile learning amongst students was low, they were keen on adoption. Academics were more tentative, for while they were willing, it was clear that a shift in their teaching philosophy and pedagogy would be required for mobile learning to work effectively. For those in IT and administrative leadership roles, their perceptions were more resource-focused. While this study only considered the views of internal stakeholders, it also uncovered the need for the involvement of external stakeholders. Building on these findings, a strategy table which outlines the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder group was created. The table provides a blueprint which otherwise has been missing, to guide sustainable mobile learning adoption and implementation not only in higher education in developing countries, but which may have more global appeal.

Analysing the impact of IT governance on the performance of project-based organisations

The present study investigated the impact of IT governance on the performance of project-based organisations by employing the COBIT framework and ISO 38500, and examines the relationship between IT governance principles and BSC dimensions on project-based organisations' performance. In order to test the hypotheses, the researchers have used the structural equation technique based on partial least squares with the help of PLS software. It has been revealed that all IT governance dimensions have a positive correlation with project-based organisations' performance and it has significant and positive impact on these organisations' performance. Information technology systems can cause the achievement of organisations to the desired status and the proper use of it can result employee satisfaction, increased profitability and effective use of time, and generally increase job satisfaction and organisational efficiency. This study enlightens managers of the project-based organisations that the role of IT in these organizations can be very high.

Organized Complexity of Digital Business Strategy: A Configurational Perspective

How should firms configure organizational capabilities to achieve competitive advantage in complex digital environments? To answer this question, we investigate parsimonious configurations for high firm performance in digital environments characterized by organized complexity. We adopt a configurational perspective accompanied by a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explicate complex nonlinear relationships among key digital and non-digital capabilities in the form of conjunction, equifinality, and asymmetry in producing the outcome. With this approach, we shift attention from individual capabilities to configurations of capabilities to develop a better understanding of the complex role of IT in the digital world. Our analyses, using a rare and unique dataset of 376 observations for organizations in healthcare, education, manufacturing, and service sectors in the United States, reveal three key findings. First, IT-enabled information analytics capability alone is neither necessary nor sufficient in any configuration for high performance; however, it is an important component of the configurations in which it plays multifaceted roles varying from an enabling role in some contexts, to no role or a counterproductive role in other contexts. Second, we document a few parsimonious configurations emergent from complex nonlinear interactions among six organizational capabilities. Interestingly, these configurations often have an isomorphic structure that produces both high financial performance and high customer performance simultaneously. Third, the structures of configurations for high performance differ from those of not-high performance, suggesting an asymmetric view of causality that underpins organizational performance. Together, the findings provide implications for further research on complexity theory in digital business strategy, and for managers to view and redesign digital business strategy as configurations of IT and organizational capabilities.

Information technology in emergency management of COVID-19 outbreak.

Emergency management of the emerging infectious disease outbreak is critical for public health threats. Currently, control of the COVID-19 outbreak is an international concern and has become a crucial challenge in many countries. This article reviews significant information technologyIT) applications in emergency management of COVID-19 by considering the prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases of the crisis. This review was conducted using MEDLINE PubMed), Embase, IEEE, and Google Scholar. Expert opinions were collected to show existence gaps, useful technologies for each phase of emergency management, and future direction. Results indicated that various IT-based systems such as surveillance systems, artificial intelligence, computational methods, Internet of things, remote sensing sensor, online service, and GIS geographic information system) could have different outbreak management applications, especially in response phases. Information technology was applied in several aspects, such as increasing the accuracy of diagnosis, early detection, ensuring healthcare providers’ safety, decreasing workload, saving time and cost, and drug discovery. We categorized these applications into four core topics, including diagnosis and prediction, treatment, protection, and management goals, which were confirmed by five experts. Without applying IT, the control and management of the crisis could be difficult on a large scale. For reducing and improving the hazard effect of disaster situations, the role of IT is inevitable. In addition to the response phase, communities should be considered to use IT capabilities in prevention, preparedness, and recovery phases. It is expected that IT will have an influential role in the recovery phase of COVID-19. Providing IT infrastructure and financial support by the governments should be more considered in facilitating IT capabilities.

Supply chain drivers and retail supply chain responsiveness: strategy as moderator

The objective of this study is to explore important drivers of retail supply chain responsiveness. Data for the study have been collected through a structured questionnaire survey using probability sampling. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS SEM) technique with smart PLS 2.0M3 software has been used for data analysis. The study reveals that suppliers' role, use of IT, inventory management and coordination are the significant contributors of retail supply chain responsiveness. The findings also show that agile supply chain strategy moderates the relationship between suppliers' role and use of IT with retail supply chain responsiveness. This research has implications both for business organisations and theoretical aspects with an interest in examining the determinants of retail supply chain responsiveness.

Dawn Raids and the Role of Forensic IT in Antitrust Investigations

While digital markets attract much attention of the antitrust community, important developments also take place in relation to the way antitrust investigations are handled and evidence is preserved. More and more enforcement actions of antitrust authorities rely on the ability to find and preserve digital evidence of an illegal activity. This article focuses on recent case law developments in relation to the approach to forensic IT in antitrust enforcement and investigates whether enough leeway is left to the antitrust authorities to properly discharge their powers. The article focuses on the procedural developments at the EU level and in one EU national jurisdiction, i.e. Poland. The article concludes that the current approach to forensics in antitrust does not allow to use available capabilities to a full extent. A proposal is made for an alternative approach, which would benefit effective antitrust enforcement and due process.

Strategic Planning for IS/IT of XYZ Internet Service Provider Using Ward and Peppard Method

PT. XYZ is one of the leading Internet service providers in East Java, Bali and Lombok. As an IT company that has the motto Quality Internet Service Provider, of course the role of IT is a significant thing, because with the IT all processes that are initially manual can turn out to be well automated. However, in practice the demand for the development of IS / IT systems from various divisions tends to be only concerned with the interests of the division itself. So that in the end the system produced by the IT Apps division to help a division is not in line with the interests of other divisions. This happens because the IT division does not have a long-term work program plan for developing systems that are adapted to the PT. XYZ business goals and become a top priority in the development of the IS / IT system. In the preparation of the IS / IT strategi c planning framework using the Ward and Peppard Model approach and in evaluating the elaboration of information systems strategic planning and business strategies using Balanced Scorecard and Critical Success Factors. Several analytical methods such as Value Chain Analysis, SWOT Analysis, PEST Analysis and Five Force Model Analysis are used to analyze internal and external business environments. Strategic Grid McFarlan Analysis is used to map application portfolios The result of this research is a blueprint of strategic plan IS/IT in PT. XYZ. Wich included recommendation for improvements in the network structure.

Information Technology Governance: Reflections on the Past and Future Directions

ABSTRACT This study investigates the extant literature concerned with Information Technology Governance (ITG), published in leading accounting and management information systems journals, in the period 2005 to 2017. While recent research into ITG has taken a more holistic organizational perspective, the essence remains people, product, processes, and performance. Our review reveals ITG's increasingly dual role in improving organizational capability and performance, as well as controlling and monitoring outcomes. Findings show that ITG is concerned with both governing of IT and governing through IT, presaging a more defined connection between ITG's five focus areas and Corporate Governance. Other new themes include ITG's role in improving outcomes in intra- and inter-organizational relationships, embryonic efforts to distill a theory of ITG, and emerging scenarios where the evolving role of IT in business activities is creating profound organizational implications and consequently new avenues for ITG.
