Technology Industries

Successful high-tech industries can be understood as ecosystems of enterprises and related organizations that are geared to develop platforms of global products, processes, and services; these platforms, by turn, are based on solid industrial architectures. This is called the Essential Trinity concept. In this way, the main objective of this chapter is twofold: first, to argue that information technology industries in developing countries, such as Brazil, can be understood through the Essential Trinity concept; and second, to argue also that the main characteristic of this industry in developing countries is that it has been historically organized only in terms of ecosystems of enterprises and related organizations, without developing either platforms of global products, processes, and services, or solid industrial architectures. In order to develop these arguments, the chapter presents the case of the IT industry in the state of Pernambuco (Northeast of Brazil), particularly through the development of its Porto Digital IT Park, as an example of an “unfinished essential trinity.”

Business Requirements

Technological infrastructure must satisfy business requirements, and more importantly, it must be able to evolve to meet the new requirements. This requires not only a good understanding of business strategies, visions and functions, but also the evolvability built into the architecture. This chapter first presents a semiotic approach to the business and information technology (hereafter IT) systems. This approach treats the IT system as an integral part of the business organisation. The chapter then discusses the applicability of a semiotic framework in the e-government in the UK, particularly in an evolvable architecture for e-policing. The semiotic framework is applied in the assessment of the e-government strategies and systems requirements, and in the analysis of these requirements to the e-architecture. A case study demonstrating the applicability of the framework is conducted to evaluate the implementation of the national Information Systems Strategy for the Police Service (ISS4PS) and the Crime Justice Information Technology community (CJIT) in the UK.

The examination of the U.S.—Japan conflicts from the mid-1980s to early 1990s over the space industry sheds light on our understanding of the Japanese political economy. The Japanese response to U.S. pressure was not so strategic as conventional wisdom suggests. Under U.S. pressure, Japan shifted to international cooperation, abandoning the autonomous development policy it had sought for four decades. This unexpected policy change primarily resulted from the lack of clear jurisdictional authority among the government actors over the rapidly changing space industry. This study's findings will apply to other high technology industries such as telecommunications and information technology, where bureaucratic boundaries are ambiguous and technological change is rapid.

This study aims to measure the effect of leadership style (transformational or transactional) on job satisfaction mediated by job perceptions. Data collection was carried out through quantitative questionnaires with simple random sampling via electronic online to the employees of the Information Technology Industries in Banten. The results of the questionnaire returned and valid were 377 respondents. Data processing used the SEM method with SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results of this study concluded that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on satisfaction, both directly and indirectly through mediating job perceptions. Meanwhile, transactional leadership has no significant effect on employee satisfaction, either directly or indirectly through mediating job perceptions. This new research proposes a model to build job satisfaction for consumer goods industry employees in Banten through increasing the transformational leadership ability of company heads with perceptions of work as a mediator.
