Topicality/Problem. Idea management systems (IMS) are manageable, systematic tools, tool kits or complex systems that helps to generate and evaluate ideas and are an important element of organizational development. Many well-known organizations (e.g. Volkswagen, Microsoft, GE Healthcare, Procter and Gamble, Boeing, Siemens, etc) are successfully applying web-based IMS. But there is no research that explores the impact of web-based IMS on intellectual resources development. Research aim – to research the impact of IMS on intellectual resources development and to provide recommendations to practitioners for its broader assistance in enterprises to ensure innovation acceleration. Methodological approach. The empirical research was based on 447 enterprise survey applying. The research results show the following results: IMS application has resulted in a new intellectual resource, in a patents and improved innovation acceleration.Research limitations. Survey research may limit the generalisability of the result, because the survey target group is commercially available web-based IMS applied enterprises.Originality/value.  The research based on the empirical data analysis contributes to understanding the directions and significance of IMS impact on intellectual resources development.

Abstract Idea management and web-based idea management systems application situation and potential in Latvia have been identified by applying qualitative and quantitative methods – community survey and expert interviews. It has been found that there is a tendency in Latvia that ideas in the organisations are generated within the frame of the same groups of people and there is no definite idea management system or effective idea management. It is important to stress that the results of the research also show that web-based idea management systems are not widely used in Latvia, but there is a perspective to apply them in private, public and academic sectors. Perspective areas to apply web-based IMS are cultivation of open and user-driven innovation, encouragement of civic participation, contribution to public communication and a wide range of creative cultural promotion.

Information technologies that help to manage knowledge have a scientific and practical topicality. Among such technologies are web-based idea management systems (IMS). But there is little scientific evidence on how web-based IMS application materializes with in organizations and how they relate with organization effectiveness (OE). Authors of this paper aim to develop conceptual bases to fill this gap. The paper is based on an extensive review of literature about IMS, OE, and Adaptive Structuration Theory (AST). The aim is to develop a new research framework to explore how can the concepts – IMS, AST, OE, – be operationalized for empirical research to explore how IMS application and its results relate with OE and what are the main input and process elements in these relations? Based on a systematic literature review, that was analysed through content analysis technique and exploratory meta-analysis, authors created the adapted framework of AST for IMS context and proposed hypothesis. The paper contributes by developing detailed characterization of AST construct in webbased IMS application context on organizations. Authors propose theoretical guidance on how to explore the IMS impact on OE and expands the domain of outcomes of AST researching outcomes of web-based IMS by including OE dimensions.

This paper provides a discussion of the methodological approach to a research project that builds on previous studies of effective argumentation pedagogy undertaken by one of the authors. In this study, teachers from six schools in a city location are taking part in a one-year project to use new web-based professional development materials to advance their practice in using group discussion and argumentation in science. The teachers attend workshops on planning and organising effective group-work, introducing argument and sustaining small group discussion, and curriculum planning to promote argumentation activity. Between sessions the teachers develop each aspect of pedagogy in their schools. Data are collected from each of the participating schools using teacher survey and interviews to ascertain perspectives on argumentation practice in science, pedagogical strategies used, changes in practice and collaborative working with colleagues in school. The paper focuses on the issues of research design in determining the impact of the workshops.

Research background: Authors have explored that there are different idea management system application types that could be used both locally and globally. But there is the question – how organizations can benefit from these systems during COVID19? Purpose of the article: The article aims to clarify how external and mixed web-based idea management systems could be used during COVID19 time for distance idea generation sessions, as well to solve complex problems with different idea generation sources and evaluators Methods: Literature review (data collection: systematically data collection from scientific data bases; data analysis: content analysis). Survey of n>400 enterprises with web-based IMS experience (data collection: survey; data analysis: statistics). Case studies (data collection: web-based idea management system creator secondary data; data analysis: content analysis). Findings & Value added: External and mixed web-based idea management systems are great tools during COVID19 time for distance idea generation sessions as well to solve serious problems with different idea generation sources and evaluators. These tools could be used by private, public organizations, as well by higher education institutions and research institutions as an innovation actor under the Triple Helix Model. By involving all these organizations in the idea management process the innovation potential is increasing.

Several studies have focused on identifying the significant behavioral predictors of learning performances in web-based courses by examining the log data variables of learning management systems, including time spent on lectures, the number of assignments submitted, and so forth. However, such studies fail to quantify the impact of emotional, motivational, behavioral, and cognitive–metacognitive factors simultaneously. This research was an attempt to understand the relations between students’ motivation, cognitive–metacognitive strategies, behavior, and learning performance in the context of blended courses in higher education. Then, relevant predictors are used to obtain a model to classify the students’ performance and to identify those who are at risk of failing the course. The authors conducted an empirical study in a higher educational course with 137 Mexican students. Nineteen variables related to emotions, motivation, cognitive–metacognitive strategies, and behavior. Only six were found to be significant. These variables explain approximately 67% of the variance between each student’s overall grade. The model, based on those variables, correctly classifies 96% of the students.

The use of web-based homework management systems has been on the rise for the past few years. These systems provide digital alternatives to the traditional paper-and-pencil assignments. The current study aimed at investigating student perceptions of the impact of the use of web-based homework systems on students’ active learning in mathematics. The study also investigated the effects of specific features of these systems such as immediate feedback and multiple attempts on student motivation and practice. Ninety-seven college students enrolled in a mathematics course participated in this study. Data were collected using a 5-point Likert-type questionnaire. The results indicated that students had a positive attitude toward the use of web-based homework systems and they also felt motivated to do more practice using the different features of these systems. Students perceived the web-based homework systems to have a positive influence on their learning experience in the classroom.

The Web has had a major impact on how corporate training departments manage employee training. The evolution of computers and networks allows companies to implement a precise customer-focused approach. Through the use of competency and training management systems such as the SIGAL system used by Bell Canada, organizational training plans can be efficiently communicated throughout the organization, training needs can be linked to the performance evaluations of individual employees, and online training materials can be conveniently delivered to employees at their desktops. In the future, we predict that training management systems will evolve to incorporate analytic tools that can calculate the return on training investment, evaluate the impact of training on job performance, and determine the impact of training on corporate profits. This chapter discusses the value to companies of using a Web-based system for competency and training management, using the case of Bell Canada as an example of how companies are implementing these tools today.
