Block Chain

Catalyzed with overwhelming web-enabled on-the-go shopping trends, the understanding of technology- centric behavior of consumers holistically is a key to success. In this work we argue that a right blend of block chain per view can enable a detailed understanding of customers and their motivations. Theconsumer behavior and pre cursors to their motivations are considered for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Although, KSA has the largest and fastest growing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the Middle East and the online shopping activities in KSA are increasing rapidly, it is still lagging behind the global development. The four factors – website design quality, perceived trust, perceived convenience and advertisings & promotions were selectedfrom the available literature. A

Abstract This paper provides a comparative analysis of policies, strategies and programmes for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration in primary and post-primary education, that were active in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and in the Republic of Ireland in 2016. The analysis showed that while KSA was a relative newcomer to the integration of ICT in education, it was responsive in seeking to enhance the quality of education and support transitions to the knowledge economy through a range of initiatives, including: reform of the curriculum, provision of teacher professional development in ICT integration, and supply of computer technologies and infrastructure. However, as in the Irish context, the framing of the ICT in education’ policies, strategies and programmes needed to be strengthened through participatory partnerships with key stakeholders that endured throughout the life-cycle of ICT policy implementation in primary and post-primary settings. Furthermore, the review showed a need for governments in both jurisdictions to make better provision for financial and human resourcing to fully operationalize the teacher training and supports necessary for effective integration by teachers of ICT in primary and post-primary settings. Finally, the evaluation protocols within ICT in education’ policies, strategies and programmes in both countries needed to be re-casted to make evidence of their enactment publicly available in a timely manner. Moreover, the resultant evaluation reports further needed to be detailed at a level that made visible the national progress on ICT integration in schools, and the corresponding impact on learners’ ICT skills and broader competencies.

Recent developments in information and communication technology have contributed to tremendous economic efficiency. Companies that can take advantage of the sophistication of information and communication technology can operate more efficiently. Firm efficiency will tend to lower product prices and faster delivery time. It is expected to increase consumer satisfaction and repurchase intention. This study investigates the influence of e-service quality on repurchase intention with satisfaction as mediating variable. E-service quality was measured by five variables, namely ease of use, website design, security, personalization, and responsiveness. Good service quality tends to satisfy consumers and leads to repurchase intentions. To collect data, this study used survey design with purposive sampling method. The sample in this study are respondents who have experience in purchasing airline etickets for domestic flights within last year. To collect data, we distributed structured questionnaires to 263 respondents. To verify hypothesis, this study used descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that esatisfaction partially mediate the influence of ease of use, website design, responsiveness, and personalization on repurchase intentions. While e-satisfaction proved fully mediates the influence of security guarantees on repurchase intention

The City

The development of information and communication technology which is rapidly increasing now causes changes in people's behavior in shopping. This is supported by the increasing number of online shopping or e-commerce businesses in the community. PT Pos Indonesia as a business entity engaged in sending letters and packages also has considerable opportunities in this business. However, the strength of PT Pos Indonesia at this time cannot be said to be good, because, based on the results of a survey conducted on 30 samples of people and students in the city of Padang showed that only about 7% of people chose PT Pos Indonesia as a courier for shipping goods. This research was conducted to design the right business strategy for PT Pos Indonesia to compete in the package or goods delivery business using Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis. From the results of the strategic plan made, it can be concluded that PT Pos Indonesia Padang is in a good internal and external environment. However, PT Pos Indonesia's position compared to its competitors is weak. Based on Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), the proposed strategy given to PT Pos Indonesia Padang in such company conditions is an intensive strategy.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
