The Impact

Several studies have been conducted to examine the influence of technology on the travel and tourism industry. However, there exists limited literature on the adaptation and usage of Smartphone technology by Kenyan tour guides, a gap this study sought to address. The objective of the study was to examine the effect of Information Communication Technology (ICT) on tour guiding performance in Kenya, investigate the effect of smartphone usage on the guides’ performance and finally, explore the possibility of adoption smart guiding techniques by Kenya’s tour guides. The study used descriptive methods and target practicing tour guides as the respondents. The data collected was analyzed using the Pearson’s Chi-square test of independence. The findings indicated Smartphone technology positively influenced guides, performance (χ2=65.025;df 2; P<0.05).The study concluded that smartphone and information communication technology have significantly influenced guides performance and hence recommend to the government and other stakeholders to invest more in infrastructure that supports smart destinations, which offer interactive pre-tour services, during the tour and post-tour experiences. Innovation on applications that support real-time interaction with attractions, accommodation and financial institutions is recommended.

An adoption of electronic procurement aspects is currently indispensable in many organizations. However county government of Migori has not embraced this technological change as expected and hence affecting its performance. Most reviewed studies failed to link the aspects of electronic procurement adoption to the organizational performance. They were mostly exploratory in design and did not focus on the county government of Migori in particular. Small samples and convenient sampling techniques dominated these studies. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to establish the effect of information communication technology infrastructure on performance of county government of Migori, Kenya. This study was anchored on the following theories; diffusion of innovation (DOI), technology acceptance model theory (TAM), universality theory, contingency theory and organizational performance theory which formed part of this study. The study adopted a correlation research design. Census sampling was embraced. The target population was 50 comprising of procurement officers, procurement staff, top management and directors working in the county government of Migori. Questionnaires were used in collecting primary data while secondary data was obtained from existing literature. The findings revealed that ICT infrastructure had the strongest unique contribution on organizational performance (β=.463, p=.000). The study concluded that ICT infrastructure is a significant predictor of organizational performance and therefore have a positive effect. The study recommends that the county government of Migori provides more infrastructures for electronic procurement adoption. The study will be of significance to stakeholders in the enhancement of performance through electronic procurement and addressing the gaps especially in the county government of Migori. To the academia, it will add value to new knowledge for further research. To policy makers, the study will assist in the identification of issues raised in different areas to improve organizational performance more so in the county government of Migori.

The Impact

This paper investigates the impact of Information Communication Technology on economic growth in South Africa. The study intends to establish correlation in a developing country such as South Africa where the existence of such a relationship has not been distinctly determined. The model is estimated by using the cointegration and causality analysis and the interrelationships among the variables will be captured by employing the Johansen Cointegration method. The Generalized Impulse Response Function is also introduced to further explore the dynamic relationship among the variables. The results exhibit the incidence of a positive association between Information Communication Technology and economic growth

The Impact

Remote approaches for dementia research are required in the era of COVID-19, but moving a research program from in person to remote involves additional considerations. We recommend using outcome measures that have psychometric properties for remote delivery, and we recommend against adapting in-person scales for remote delivery without evidence for psychometric equivalency. We suggest remote research designs that maximize benefit for participants, which could have implications for control groups. Researchers should plan for flexibility in their methods for remote research and must not assume all participants will be able to videoconference; telephone-only research is possible. We recommend performing an assessment of information communication technology infrastructure and prior exposure to this technology with each participant before making a final choice on remote methods for research. In general, researchers should adapt their methods for remote research to each participant rather than requesting participants to adapt to the researchers. Screening for sensory loss should be conducted, and the impact of this on the use of technology for remote research should be considered. In this viewpoint, we detail how individualized training is required prior to engaging in remote research, how training plans interact with cognitive impairments and, finally, the steps involved in facilitating technology-based remote data collection.
