The Role of Latent Information

The pressure of climate change and policy guidance has attracted plenty of enterprises to expand their renewable energy business, presenting an opportunity to investigate whether latent information can contribute to improved performance in their transformation. This context also offers a broader application scenario for studying information management theory. Therefore, this paper explores the above topic using business data from listed Chinese renewable energy companies between 2003 and 2021, focusing on three aspects of latent information related to diversification. The findings reveal that: 1) Market power information plays a fundamental role in explaining the performance enhancement from renewable energy business expansion, and non-dedicated resource information is a significant factor for understanding the enhancement, whereas agency problems have no significant effect. 2) The latent information exhibits notable heterogeneity concerning the expansion of renewable energy business among enterprises with different transformation backgrounds.

Exploration of the Deep Impact of Digital Platforms on Innovation and Entrepreneurship Activities of Entrepreneurs under the Information Management Framework

With the rapid development of information technology, digital platforms (DPs) have emerged as an indispensable aspect of the entrepreneurial landscape, which has a profound impact on entrepreneurial innovation and practice. However, there remains a gap in understanding the specific ways in which DPs influence the entrepreneurial process. Therefore, within the framework of information management theory, this study aims to deepen the understanding of how DPs foster entrepreneurial innovation and enhance entrepreneurial effectiveness, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of DPs. Firstly, the concept of information management in contemporary social enterprise management is thoroughly examined and reviewed to establish a robust theoretical foundation for further research. Secondly, the conceptual framework and core elements of DPs are extensively discussed, elucidating their role and function in the entrepreneurial process. On this basis, a theoretical model illustrating the impact of DPs on entrepreneurial innovation and activities is formulated, along with six specific research hypotheses. These hypotheses encompass the effects of DPs on entrepreneur behavior, enterprise development, and the platform–entrepreneur relationship. To verify the validity of these hypotheses, a questionnaire survey involving 398 entrepreneurs is conducted to facilitate in-depth communication. Simultaneously, the various attributes of entrepreneurs are categorized, and the resulting classifications are thoroughly analyzed and evaluated. The results show that the DP plays a positive role in promoting the development of platform enterprises, improving intrapreneurship activities, and enhancing the ability of intrapreneurship. In addition, DPs can effectively regulate the relationship between platform enterprises and entrepreneurs and promote the self-development of entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the entrepreneurial growth process has positively influenced platform enterprises. This finding strongly supports the practical application of DPs and provides valuable guidance for entrepreneurs to leverage them effectively in fostering innovation and entrepreneurial activities in the digital era. Meanwhile, this offers crucial insights for platform enterprises on enhancing their service offerings to entrepreneurs and fostering the sustainable development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. In summary, through rigorous theoretical discourse and empirical analysis, this study emphasizes the significant role of DPs in the entrepreneurial journey, providing robust backing for their continued advancement and utilization in the entrepreneurial realm.

Human Capital Management System Framework A Case Study in Malaysia

This study was initiated by discussions on organizational management theory and led readers to explore issues in organizational management that focused on humanity. There is criticism from previous researchers on the weakness and neglect of this concept of humanity in the theory of conventional information system management. The literature review of the prior study also found neglect of focus on the human being and the weaknesses that need to be improved in developing the Human Capital Management system framework. This study aims to develop a framework that empowers a key focus of humanity management. In developing the Human Capital Management system, decisions are taken to apply conventional information management theory with humanity management theory by focusing on human capital improvements. A case study on the organization through interviews using a purposive sampling approach has been conducted. As a result of the case studies, a Human Capital Management system framework which is named HCM-i, was developed. Thus, in the future time, it is hoped that this framework can be adapted in any information systems development as part of the social-technical approach.

On the Application of Information Audit for the State Public Audit

The paper analyzes methodological approaches to the implementation of information audit by public audit institutions. The aim of the research is to analyze instruments of the traditional information audit developed as a part of information management theory and to make propositions on its basis on the creation of methodology of information audit as a form of public audit. It is based on general scientific methods, including comparative analyzes. The article substantiates the necessity for public audit institutions to conduct information audit due to the key value of information and information resources for the legality and efficiency of the public resources' management. The authors analyze basic approaches to the definition of the traditional information audit and its instruments. Based on this the authors made a conclusion that such general approach could be used for the purposes of public audit with necessary amendments due to specific aims of this type of public financial control, legal status of public audit institutions and position of auditees in the public management system. The study defines basic stages of the information audit conducted by public audit institutions and unique characteristics of its aims due to their interrelations with the tasks of audits and analytical research performed by such bodies. The paper also proposes basic instruments for the data collection as well as a general approach to interaction between auditors conducting information audit, auditees and other stakeholders.The practical results of the research are relevant for the introduction of information audit instruments into the practice of public audit institutions and for the development of applicable methodological documents.

In the long-term operation of port logistics, a large number of dynamic data have been accumulated. It has become a common cognition to strengthen the mining of these data values. According to the dynamic characteristics of port logistics information, this paper proposes an intelligent analysis strategy of port logistics information based on dynamic data mining technology.

A STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF STUDENTS INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SKILLS ON SCHOLARLY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AMONG POST GRADUATE STUDENTS IN KIAMBU COUNTY, KENYA

With the rapid growth of information, the ability of students to be information literate has become critically important. However students information retrieval skills required for scholarly information management are still wanting as most papers written by postgraduate learners contain irrelevant information that are not related to their study topics. This study investigated the effects of students’ information retrieval skills on scholarly information management among post graduate students in Kiambu County Kenya. The study adopted information management theory as it showed that information literacy practices influence scholarly information management. A mixed methodology with concurrent triangulation design was used to conduct the research as it allowed the researcher to collect and analyse qualitative and quantitative data concurrently. Generalization was made based on findings generated from the collected data. The study had a target of 2451 which included 40 librarians, 40 supervisors, and 249 postgraduate students. The study participants were selected through purposive and simple random procedures. The sample population included 245 postgraduate students from 4 selected Universities and 4 library staff from each of the selected universities. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires for students and interview schedule for librarians. Pilot testing ensured certainty of instruments, the retest method helped estimate reliability (r=0.70) to ensure that data gathered were accurate and reliable and the instruments were validated by seeking constant guidance of the supervisor. To achieve all the study objectives, both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered and analyzed to generate descriptive, inferential as well as qualitatively. Quantitative data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in analyzing quantitative data while thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The analyzed quantitative data were presented using Tables. The study findings indicated that postgraduate students’ information retrieval skills normally had positive effects on the students’ scholarly information management. The results further revealed that there exists a statistical significant relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable investigated. Article visualizations:

Online Health-Information Seeking Among Older Populations: Family Influences and the Role of the Medical Professional

ABSTRACTThere are myriad technological devices, computer programs, and online information sources available for people to manage their health and the health of others. However, people must be technologically and health literate and capable of accessing, analyzing, and sharing the information they encounter. The authors interviewed middle-aged and older adults about their online health information seeking behavior and discovered that technology and health literacy are influenced by a collective ability to manage the health and technological needs of a family. We used information management theory to frame participants’ experiences of their self-efficacy using technology to manage the health of loved ones. Findings suggest that health can be co-managed if at least one person in a family unit is technologically “savvy” and able to effectively share health information. However, individuals’ confidence in their own literacy often depends on others, usually family members who tend to “do” instead of “teach.”

Precision poverty relief in China ‐ The role of information and information technology

ABSTRACTPrecision poverty relief, a similar concept to targeted poverty relief, has gained tremendous momentum in China since 2013 when it, as a new strategy to the lasting anti‐poverty battle in China, was officially acknowledged by the Chinese Central Government. A series of policies and implementation plans were subsequently issued, either dedicating themselves to this new strategy or to include it as a critical part of a more encompassing measure. To state it is new is not to suggest that the idea only emerged in 2013 but to emphasize its gain of official recognition. In addition, precision poverty relief is reviewed as new in recent years because of the new developments and deployments of information technologies in China, or, as by its Chinese expression, informationalization. This visual presentation reports on the preliminary findings of the project Digital Information and Societal Change, a subtask of the Records‐Centred Digital Information Management Theory and Mechanisms (DI{R}Mtm), which aimed at examining the role of information and informationalization in relation to precision poverty relief strategy.

The Use of Information Management as a Decision Making Tools of Prophet Sulaiman

In the information era today, value of data and Information is increasing rapidly. Data and information become more and more important to organization, because it is used as a tools in making decisions. A lot of concept and theory about data and information management has been launched. Our research tried to study and make a bridge between today’s theory about information management and Islamic values based on Islamic history written in Alquran. We took Prophet Sulaiman as our case. Sulaiman was a Prophet as well as a King. He was awarded intelligence and wisdom of God. We learn the story of Sulaiman and performed a literature review and cross references to various theories of information management. We found that Prophet Sulaiman uses data and process it into valuable information, to make right decision. We believe that, during his age, Prophet Sulaiman had implement basics of information management concept and theory.

Revisiting the information audit: A systematic literature review and synthesis

The purpose of this paper is to revitalize the theory and practice of the Information Audit (IA) by connecting it with recent developments in information management theories and methods While the IA is a powerful information management practice, the methods and applications of IA have not been wedded to recent developments in the study of information management capability and information quality management. This study addresses that gap. The paper also introduces and applies a systematic methodology for conducting literature reviews that combines concept mapping, review scoping, and a structured search and analysis process. The resulting search in Scopus and Proquest and subsequent analysis of the recent literature (2011–2016) on IA and quality, evaluation, measurement, and maturity in the context of information management yielded the following findings and recommendations. IA research and practice could do well to: pursue contingency frameworks rather than seek universal standardization; investigate the relationship between IA and the dimensions of information quality and information management quality; undertake case studies that apply more foundational IA methodologies in full; develop theories of IA maturity and IA maturity modelling methods; recognize that measurement and evaluation of information management quality and information quality are necessary elements of the IA and should be explicitly incorporated into IA methodology.

Information management approaches to digital asset management: A case study in success and failure

This paper explores the applicability of information management theories and techniques to digital asset management (DAM). Using a case study of a DAM implementation, it explores the successes and failures of the system in relation to the extent to which it utilised good information management practices. It concludes that, while some success was obtained, cultural reasons meant that the crucial principles of universal accessibility and consistency were not mandated and inefficient practices survived the adoption of DAM.

Differences of Information Management between Fashion Show Video and Fashion Film: Focusing on Cases of Chanel

As media technology is developing, methods to present fashion products and communicate with audiences are also evolving. Designers and fashion brands are always on the lookout for more effective methods to deliver what designers intend through new products. The purpose of this research is to analyze different ways in which people perceive, cognize, and memorize the digital media of fashion show videos and fashion films in the communication process. Considering the difference in communication methods, this study is based on Shannon's communication model, Foulger's ecological model of the communication process, and Kopec's information management theory. In this research, Chanel's 2010 Cruise collection and fashion film, RememberNow, were used as content stimuli. The results indicate that there are significant differences between fashion shows and fashion films in terms of perception (p< .005), cognition (p< .005), and memorization (p< .005). This research will provide prospective methods for fashion designers and fashion firms to effectively deliver the latest fashion information to their audiences.

Dimensions of Anticipated Reaction in Information Management: Anticipating Responses and Outcomes

Many models, theories, and frameworks of information management (e.g., privacy, disclosure, secrets) incorporate the concept of receiver response, both anticipated and actual. Although most if not all information management literature highlights the importance of the response variable, each perspective conceptualizes and/or operationalizes response differently. The lack of consistency across perspectives limits research design, theory testing, and scholars' ability to make comparisons among and across theoretical frameworks, as well as their ability to evaluate research findings within the broader context of information management theory. This project presents a review and synthesis of receiver response within the context of information sharing and decision making, including both immediate responses and longer-term outcomes of sharing the information.

“I Tell My Partner Everything . . . (or Not)”

This study is grounded in theories of information management. Patients with a diagnosed heart-related condition (N=253) completed a survey regarding their perceptions of sharing/not sharing information with a partner about their health condition. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated that although most patients reported sharing "everything" with their partner, others reported not sharing certain topics such as health issues and physical symptoms/ailments. In addition, patients who reported sharing everything with a partner reported significantly greater communication efficacy, and breadth, depth, and frequency of communication about a heart-related condition compared with those who reported not sharing certain topics. Finally, as hypothesized, there were no significant group differences in terms of sharing specific physical and psychological health information. We discuss the findings and implications of the study for nursing practice.

Being Open without Talking about It: A Rhetorical/Normative Approach to Understanding Topic Avoidance in Families after a Lung Cancer Diagnosis

The present study uses a rhetorical/normative perspective to examine families' communication and coping in response to a parent's diagnosis of, and eventual death from, lung cancer. Through in-depth, semistructured interviews with 35 adult children, we identified two broad areas of communicative avoidance (avoiding information and avoiding emotion) and three general ways of managing avoidance and openness (denial, segmentation, and being open while avoiding). The interviews suggested that denial was a particularly dissatisfying means of managing competing goals, whereas being open while avoiding appeared to be functional for family members. The discussion focuses on our understanding of reasons why people avoid in this context, implications for rhetorical/normative approaches and theories of information management, and practical implications of the current findings.

Examining the Decision to Talk with Family About Organ Donation: Applying the Theory of Motivated Information Management

Research on organ donation suggests a strong association between family discussions about the issue and final organ donor status. However, very few studies have examined the factors that influence individuals’ willingness to talk directly to their family about this topic or the impact of these discussions. This investigation provides a partial test of a newly developed theory of information management to better understand the processes of family discussions about organ donation. Results from two studies generally support the utility of the theory in this context, suggest ways in which organ donation campaigns may improve their effectiveness, and recommend future directions for researchers in this area. Moreover, the data show differences across ethnic groups that support and extend past work in this area.

Dynamic process management for engineering environments

The research presented in this paper proposes a concept for dynamic process management as part of an integrated approach to engineering process support. The theory of information management is the starting point for the development of a process management system based on evolution of information content. The use of an ontology enables the formalization of information content. Based on this ontology, transition relations and task definitions can be instantiated. A methodology for the generation of task networks is presented. From these networks, process models can be derived in the form of task chains.
