The present research is based on “Methodics for Preservation and Promotion of the Cultural Heritage with Artistic Interactions and Educational Impacts through Information and Communication Technologies (Nenov 2019), and the application of “the possibilities to promote cultural heritage with artistic interactions and educational impacts through the application of modern information and communication technologies (ICT), applying an interdisciplinary analysis of the scientific information for the cultural heritage sites” (Nenov 2019). Analysis of the activities for preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage has been made in the context of the concept, prepared by author team headed by architect Nenov – “Concept for activities for revitalization of the tourist attractions for promotion of intangible cultural heritage sites, under category “national” significance in the town of Bansko. (Nenov 2019a). The concept explores the impact of the environment in the “House of Arts Bansko” and the prerequisites for its reconstruction in “Cultural Heritage Promotion Center”. The applicability of notions, such as “cognition”, “cognitive architecture”, “interpretation of the cultural heritage”, “media façade”, educational “STEM” method and “authentic artistic interactions”, related to the research, is being analyzed as new approach for preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage. The significance of the interpretation of the cultural heritage in the context of ICT capabilities for the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural values is substantiated. Present examples for application of the Augmented reality (AR) are examined. The study presents the “possibilities for interpretation of the cultural heritage through visual research with information and communication technologies (ICT) in a real “in situ” and museum environment in the context of the cultural heritage sites and using the cited methodics, which was introduced in the dissertation “Conservation of the cultural heritage of Bulgaria in the context of the synthesis of architecture and fine arts “(Nenov 2016–2019). The possibilities for building cognitive environment are explored in the context of introduction of new technologies and good practices for popularization of the cultural heritage.

This chapter is motivated by the need to escape the illusory perception of an incongruous implementation of information and communication technology policies in public administration processes in Africa. The problem is brought to light through an analytical distinction between e-government and e-governance. The analysis deals primarily with the impact of the new techno-economic regime, fostered by the development of information and communication technologies, on business and administrative structures, and shows that the conditions of implementation have varied from one political and policy environment to another. An inquiry into African ICT policies reveals a problem translated into the scantiness of African public administration structures in incorporating the conditions of technological change. The approach to solving the problem derives from the underlying distinction between e-government and e-governance. It shows that the efforts that produced thriving outcomes have tended to instill principled behaviors and actions in the restructuring of public administration structures.

The Impact

Diffusion of information and communication technologies is a global phenomenon. In spite of rapid globalization there are considerable differences between nations in terms of the adoption and usage of new technologies. Several studies exploring causal factors including national cultures of information and communication technology adoption have been carried out. The focus of this chapter is slightly different from other studies in this area. Rather than concentrating on the individual information technology an overall e-Government readiness is the focus. This research conducted an analysis of the impact national culture has on e-Government readiness and its components for 62 countries. E-Government readiness assessment used in this study is based on the UN E-Government Survey 2008, while the national cultural dimensions were identified using Hofstede’s model of cultural differences. The research model and hypotheses were formed and tested using correlation and regression analysis. The findings indicate that worldwide e-Government readiness and its components are related to culture. The result has theoretical and practical implications.

The quality movement in Public Administration is a part of reform and modernisation efforts aimed at replacing the bureaucratic model by a more citizen-oriented paradigm. Governments are considered organisations that are capable enough to quickly adopt new technologies to engage and serve constituents. While eGovernment embraces the use of information and communication technologies in public administration (combined with organisational change) to improve public services, e-governance on the other hand focuses on the idea of creating a government that is closer to the citizens it serves and more open to their participation at several levels. Research is needed on how the dynamic, competitive web culture affects citizen (and other user) demands for electronic service quality in the process of achieving customer satisfaction. The main theoretical argument behind this paper is that governments in the process of establishing quality management system in public administration should focus on working towards                             e-governance, which is citizen centric so as to create right organisational environment to achieve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity.

The Way

An important element of the policy of development and modernization of each country is the establishment of a program of balanced long-term development, which must be complementary with strategic priorities and national characteristics, as well as the real state and prospects of technical and technological development of science and industry. Therefore, manufacturing entrepreneurship today, would have to combine scientific research activities, education sector and public administration with production, in order to ensure efficient acquisition of new knowledge and skills, along the generation and production-economic valorization of innovations and diffusion and implementation of technical-technological innovations and new technologies, with priority reliance on ICT (information and communication technologies). It is obvious that sustainable competitiveness, in times of general and business globalization, is no longer in quantitative-qualitative aspects of production, but in new elements of production specialization, adequate and timely implementation of technical-technological innovations, in organizational innovations, in the way cluster business and in global efficiency, as well as in close and flexible connection of design, planning, production technologies and production, with the possibility of quick response (JustInTime and QuickResponseSystem) to the changes required by the market. That is why today the issue of redefining the way of work and business of textile/clothing industry companies is more than current, in fact the issue of redefining the strategic programs of economic development of developing countries.

Resumen: Son innumerables las investigaciones que se han realizado en el mundo sobre los efectos y beneficios de las nuevas tecnologías versus población y la ciudad digital en sus análisis y conclusiones consideran que existe una nueva problemática en el mundo a la que se le denominó “brecha digital”. Sin embargo, no se han realizado investigaciones acerca del efecto que tienen las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación TICS sobre el tejido asociativo inmigrante de Argelia, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, Mali, Marruecos, Rumania y Senegal en España. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es determinar la incidencia de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en el tejido asociativo inmigrante en España, así como conocer el uso de éstas en el quehacer cotidiano de las asociaciones y sus implicaciones para las mismas, partiendo de una metodología no experimental, comparativa, descriptiva y de etnografía virtual. En sus conclusiones queda claro que la brecha digital afecta las asociaciones a partir de la diferenciación entre las que tienen acceso a internet, los conocimientos para el acceso y cuentan con contenidos de calidad, de las asociaciones que no.   Palabras clave: Tecnologías de la información, Redes Sociales, Migración.   Abstract: Countless researches have been done in the world on the effects and benefits of the new technologies of information and communication ICT versus population and the digital city in its analysis and conclusions consider that there is a new problematic in the world called "digital divide". However, there are not conducted researches about the effects that ICT has had on the immigrant associations network of Algeria, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, Mali, Morocco, Romania, and Senegal in Spain. The main objective of this article is to analyze the impact of new information and communication technologies on the immigrant network in Spain, as well as knowing the use of them in the daily work and their implications for them based, starting from a non-experimental, comparative, descriptive and virtual ethnography methodology. In its conclusions is clear that the digital divide affects these associations from the differentiation between those with internet access, the skills to access and the quality on the contents, from those without internet access   Key words: Information Technologies, Social Networks, Migration.

The Impact

In recent decades as a result of the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the Internet, we have witnessed major changes in companies. The ICT support of the processes is becoming more and more extensive and comprehensive, which enables the realization of digitalisation. The interconnection of processes, machines, people in a single network makes another level of optimisation available. The changes turned up by digitalisation are not only technological, but they also have an impact on the company's organisation and strategy. Our study aims to create an analytical framework and map the opportunities that digitalisation promises in the food industry and the organisational changes that ICT and technological development bring, with special emphasis on the impact on strategy, employees, and corporate culture. Our results show that companies are not consciously engaged in digitalisation yet, but they exploit their opportunities and make improvements in this sense. Adaptation of digital solutions is often forced by the labour shortage, the pressure to achieve higher efficiency and thus to remain competitive and to service the growth strategy.
