Global Reach

Enabling interorganizational collaboration for SMEs holds a lot of promise for increased competitiveness and global reach in a connected economy (Ripeanu, 2008; Marmaridis, 2004; Ginige 2004). An earlier book (Marmaridis & Unhelkar, 2005) examined the unique constraints that SME organizations have in embracing new technology – such as mobile technology. The solution proposed for overcoming these constraints is a methodology that is referred to as m-transformation (Marmaridis, 2006). Building on this work, this chapter now presents the next step in SME evolution, mobile collaboration (m-collaboration). The chapter details the concerns that must be overcome for SMEs to start collaborating rapidly with each other. It examines the role of trust in collaboration and provides a methodology suitable for handling the variation of trust throughout each collaborative engagement. It also presents a conceptual framework that can be used to implement the methodology and empower SMEs into embracing collaboration and realizing tangible benefits from it. Aspects of the methodology and conceptual framework have been presented in a number of international conferences already (Marmaridis, 2005); this chapter, however, puts the pieces together and presents the methodology and framework in their entirety. Upon completing this chapter, the reader will have a very good understanding of the landscape of collaboration in the SME space. Furthermore, the reader will be familiarized with the field-tested mobile collaboration methodology for SMEs and the conceptual framework for implementing it in real life.

The paper analyzes the notions of parents and teachers about the reasons behind low academic achievements of children as well as about the opportunities to overcome learning difficulties provided by modern Russian schools. The study uses data from surveys of parents, students and teachers of comprehensive schools conducted as part of the Monitoring of the Economics of Education (IEE) implemented by the National Research University Higher School of Economics (NRU HSE) in the academic year 2020-2021.It is shown that the parents of low-achieving students notice the lack of attention from schools to the problems of children with learning difficulties, the lack of additional classes and support from specialists to overcome these difficulties. This group of parents demonstrates a higher level of willingness to transfer their children to another school. As for the teachers working in schools with a large number of poorly performing students, they tend to have a lower sense of responsibility for the academic success of students and a higher level of dissatisfaction with the choice of profession. They are less likely to receive support from various specialists (psychologists, special needs teachers, etc.), and as they realize they lack the professional skills necessary for working with children with learning and behavioral difficulties, they tend to engage more in professional development activities. The paper concludes that the psychological climate existing in classes and schools with a high proportion of underachieving students is an impediment in overcoming low academic performance, and that the groups of parents and teachers experiencing the greatest difficulties in providing quality education also experience the greatest deficit of support.

Audio Media

Digital technologies have redefined how people use audio media, especially for the millennial audience segment. Faced with the challenge from streaming music, many broadcast radio stations have launched their own mobile apps to compete with the new audio services such as Spotify. Guided by the uses and gratifications conceptual framework, this study employed a national survey to investigate millennials’ perceptions of the substitutability and complementarity of broadcast radio, its apps, and music streaming services. The results showed that while radio listeners perceived broadcast radio and its apps as similar products, they regarded music streaming services as distinct from the two. In addition, this study examined motivators behind the diverse perceptions and identified information, escapism, entertainment, and socialization as important. The results suggest that radio stations should take advantage of the mobile technology and offer unique values through their apps, rather than duplicate the offline consumption experience.

The Impact

Quality education and career of the students is the primary goal of higher educational institutions. One method to achieve this is through on-campus and off-campus placements, wherein the students and educational institutions surpasses the ambition of the students as it is not clearly defined, which leads to interest killing and lack of passion at workplace in future. In this paper, engineering students’ data is analysed to present a behavioural model of students’ aspirations. The proposed model is for analysing the factors such as demographics, gender, academic performance and curriculum awareness that regulate the students’ behaviour on focussing on their ambition. The framework can be applied to extract valuable inferences that shows the impact of various parameters on students behaviour which can be of great help to institutions to guide and counsel the students.

High Quality Education

The advent of massive open online courses was accompanied by bold claims about their potential to democratize access to high-quality education in poor countries. But critics contend that MOOCs have come nowhere near meeting those expectations. Most students already have degrees and live in developing countries, and only a small percentage complete their courses. Still, in absolute numbers MOOCs provide opportunities to many underserved students in the developing world. This is likely to continue as MOOCs evolve to provide blended learning and to take advantage of mobile technology. MOOCs should be viewed as an experiment, a fast-changing form of technology-enabled pedagogy that is likely to do far more good than harm in poor countries.

The Impact

Quality education is the crucial for over development of the country. But there are different challenges for student to get quality education which led for poor academic performance.  The study was conducted in the University of Gondar, Ethiopia to examine determinants of academic performance of the student. It was conducted at the second semester results of the final score in three courses for the academic year 2016/17 (Farming System Research and Innovation, Innovation System and Agricultural and Rural Extension). The courses were delivered for second year rural development and agricultural extension, adult education and community development 2nd year and animal production and extension 3rd year in the University of Gondar. Totally 118 students considered and stratified as male and female to compare and contrast the academic performance based on their attendance and total score. The multiple regressions was used to carried out to determine the impact of students’ attendance and gender (being male and female) at teaching and learning process in their final academic performance. The study reveals that female students attained more than male student but on average they perform less than male students. Both gender and attendance have significant effect on academic performance of the student. Gender was significant at 1% probability and attendance was significant at 1%.  Therefore, university should give emphasis for these determinants and further study should be conducted to identify other factors which hinder academic performance of the student.

Teachers play a major role in schools both academically and by participating in school administration for ensuring quality education for students. The present investigation was undertaken to study the participation of secondary grade teachers in school administration. The researcher selected 100 teachers teaching in government, government aided and private schools of Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu. A standardized tool (Teacher's Participation in School Administration Scale-TPSAS) was used in the study. To know the participation of secondary grade teachers in school administration, data were collected and Mean and SD were worked out. 't' test was applied to find out significant difference between variables and also used F test, to find out where the difference exists among the groups. This study reveals that the secondary grade teachers have more participation in school administration. The Teachers who take part in school administration are encouraged to avail other benefits in schools. The study also shows that teachers who are doing administrative tasks make them more involved in the quality of education resulting in an enhanced level of students academic performance.
