РОЛЬ ПРОГРАМНОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ З УПРАВЛІННЯ ПЕРСОНАЛОМ У РОЗВИТКУ HIGH PERFORMANCE WORK SYSTEMS

The article is devoted to the study of the role of new information technologies in the development of High performance work systems (HPWS), in particular, at Ukrainian enterprises. The objective grounds for the emergence of the concept are considered on the basis of the analysis of literature sources, and the benefits that an enterprise receives are identified. The article highlights the variability of the content of the concept of "high performance work systems" depending on the criteria of staff involvement or commitment. The views of scientists on the structural elements of HPWS are considered. The factors that impede the development of the concept in the business environment are investigated: imperfect distribution of powers and responsibilities, low level of leadership qualities of the manager, unsuccessful mechanism of remuneration of employees. The research focuses on the priorities for staff development in the short term. The global challenges that contributed to the development of the HPWS model in the context of achieving competitive advantages by enterprises are characterized: the tendency of human resource shortage, low labor productivity growth, changes in business strategy, and the rapid pace of digitalization of various sectors of the economy. The expediency of using automated HR management systems as a soft power of HPWS implementation is considered. Some indicators characterizing the potential of innovative development of Ukraine in the context of informatization are analyzed. The expansion of functionality in automated HRM systems from accounting functions to functions of productivity assessment and development of professional competencies of personnel, improvement of the motivation system is traced. The functional capabilities of the most popular HRM systems in Ukraine, both domestic and foreign, are analyzed in the context of the HPWS concept. It is proved that the most common modern HRM systems contain the main elements of HPWS. The disadvantages of HPWS, the overcoming of which is not related to the use of human resource management software, are revealed. Conclusions about the important role of information technology in the development of HPWS, in particular for domestic enterprises, are made.

Towards a topological re-assemblage of education policy? Observing the implementation of performance data infrastructures and ‘centers of calculation’ in Germany

ABSTRACTThe ongoing trend towards educational globalisation has brought about various dynamics of education policy ‘rescaling’, resulting in a growing number of governmental arrangements, which are operating across traditional scales, levels or sectors of policy. This contribution takes up the conceptual frameworks of topological spatialisation and assemblage theory to better understand the pivotal role of new information technologies, data infrastructures and also the increasing power of ‘centers of calculation’ within education policy reforms that have been implemented in Germany after the launch of the Programme for International Student Assessment.

Theoretical approach to the institutionalization of forms of governance resource provision of innovative activity

Knowledge economy research due to the actualization of the role of knowledge and information. Management, its impact and the institutionalization of management resource provision designed to overcome the problems inherent in the present stage of development. An important research direction is to carry out theoretical analysis of economic resources in the context of their occurrence, development and improvement. This assertion has identified the need to consider the theoretical approach to the institutionalization of forms of resource management software innovation and analysis and typology of approaches by different parameters on the basis of analysis of a large number of sources. The features of the concept of institutionalization as defined phenomenon in a time perspective. In an analysis conducted by scientists used studies from different periods in the development of economic science. The analysis of numerous professional and scientific research led to the conclusion that knowledge and information should be dis-regarded as a new type of economic production factors. Separately, analyzed the impact of globalization processes that have affected the scientific and innovative sphere. Allocated to a separate study by side issues of innovative development of the Russian economy, which prevents the unresolved improve the competitiveness of the national economic and inhibits the formation of regional and national innovation system, restraining the transition to an innovative model of development. Citing as evidence of the deepening of economic globalization, the role of new information technologies and the formation of a single information space. Noting the fact that if the earlier science developed to deepen knowledge on the basis of the social division of Sciences, in the coming century should happen deepening of knowledge on the basis of their socialization.

Information Support of Foreign Policy

Informatization and modern information technologies cover the most various areas of social, spiritual and material human life and have become the dominating globalization factor with major impact on world events. Modern international relations present new challenges and threats ofcross-border nature, which fall within the area of information security. This brings issues of informational influence on international policy to the fore. In this context the question of improvement and modernization of policy instruments for more effective use of modern means of implementation of foreign policy priorities, including information support of international activities, achieves fundamental importance. Given the complexity of modern international relations and tasks facing foreign affairs departments, diplomatic success in many cases depends onthe efficiency of information support. The article analyses current objectives and methods of information support of foreign policy in the context of modern Russian legislation. The author examines the approach of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministryof Foreign Affairs,a subdivision responsible for information support and international cooperation in the media sphere. The article specifies the key role of new information technologies for informing the audience expeditiously and to the full extent in regard to Russian approaches to the solution of international problems, foreign policy initiatives and actions of the Russian Federation, and for counteracting attempts to discredit Russian foreign policy.

From Regulation to Management and Back Again: Exploring Governance Shifts in India′s Coastal Zone

Recent struggles over coastal zone policy in India make it a fertile site within which to map the actors, institutions, and knowledges involved in contemporary ecological governance. In 2007, the government drafted a coastal zone policy that marked a shift from the previous regulation approach based on hard boundaries and prohibitions, to a management framework using Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies and new scientific technologies to draw up flexible localised plans. The new policy suffered a reversal, however, when a concerted civil society campaign of opposition forced its withdrawal and a return to the earlier regulatory approach, albeit with numerous modifications. This paper argues that the power of the campaign was not just political, but also informational. It traces the multiple and intersecting trajectories through which knowledges are developed, transmitted, and employed. In particular, what emerges is the role of an important 'straddling' or 'interface' layer of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and technical 'experts,' and the role of new information technologies and technologies of governance in enabling a cross-cutting circulation of knowledges. Interests, actors, and knowledges/technologies do not always map neatly on to each other, challenging binaries such as 'traditional' and 'modern,' or 'local' and 'global,' and rendering unpredictable the outcome of contestations over policy and governance.

The borders of virtual space: new information technologies and European Islamic youth culture

The 2000s have seen the emergence of an unusual combination of western pop culture with an Islamic theme. Religious hip hop, street-wear with Islamic slogans or media for “cool” religious youths have become meaningful forms of expression for young practising Muslims in Europe. This article draws on the results of a wider research project on Islamic youth culture, but focuses on the role of new information technologies in this context. The empirical basis of this research is qualitative data collected in Germany, France and Britain in 2008–09. This comprises a collection of Islamic “virtual artefacts” ranging from, among other things, a French comedy website, a German youth platform and a British fashion blog, to in-depth interviews with the producers of these online spaces. The article analyses to what purpose the producers chose their respective means of expression. It also looks at how they use and shape existing forms of new information technologies by adding an Islamic feature to them. Arguably, the use of new information technologies greatly facilitates the growing movement of a European Islamic youth culture. But despite having obvious transnational potential, evidence shows that there is little interaction across national borders, let alone a significant awareness of similar trends in the neighbouring countries. The presence of young Muslims in virtual spaces is very often and deliberately a confined national project, shaped by their disputes with dominant society in the national context of their home country in the west.

Computing and the Crisis: The Significant Role of New Information Technologies in the Current Socio-economic Meltdown

There is good reason to be concerned about the long-term implications of the current crisis for the reproduction of contemporary social formations. Thus there is an urgent need to understand it character, especially its distinctive features. This article identifies profound ambiguities in valuing assets as new and key economic features of this crisis, ambiguities traceable to the dominant, “computationalist” computing used to develop new financial instruments. After some preliminaries, the article identifies four specific ways in which computerization of finance is generative of crisis. It then demonstrates how computationalist computing is linked to other efforts to extend commodification based on the ideology of so-called “intellectual property” (IP). Several other accounts for the crisis are considered and then demonstrated to have less explanatory value. After considering how some commons-oriented (e.g., Free/Libre and/or Opening Source Software development projects) forms of computing also undermine the IP project, the article concludes with a brief discussion of what research on Socially Robust and Enduring Computing might contribute to fostering alternative, non-crisis generative ways to compute.

New Ways of Product Development in the German Industry and the Role of New Information Technologies

In this paper some weak points of product development processes in the German industry are presented as a result of the analysis earned out in 500 German manufacturing companies within the nation-wide programme “Produktion 2000” as well as innovative ways to improve these weak points. Such ways are illustrated by three examples: the first one is a successful cooperative development of a product, the second one reflects findings about computer applications supporting organizational change and the third one is an IT-tool for cooperative management and control over projects in and between manufacturing companies.

Children's Participation in Evaluating the Role of New Information and Communication Technologies in Schools

The central thesis of the paper is that children should be accorded a greater role in the evaluation of the role of new information technologies in schools, that is, where possible they should be stakeholders who help shape the design, processes and interpretations of evaluation studies as well as informants who provide data for the study. Arguments for this position draw on children's special relationship with the new technologies as well as current movements in children's rights and the development of a new paradigm of childhood studies. The paper finishes with a discussion of some of the issues that might arise from involving children as stakeholders.
