Today agility of management cannot be realized unless given all of the following three kinds of quickness: a) quick recognition of environmental changes, b) quick decision-making on countermeasures against these changes, and c) quick implementation of the countermeasures chosen. In the business world nowadays the quickness of a) concerns information that an MIS deals with, the quickness of b) concerns use of an MIS for decision-making, and the quickness of c) concerns change of an MIS itself. With a focus on c) and assuming that flexibility is a core property that an MIS should acquire to realize agile management, our study aims to clarify how MIS flexibility should be enhanced. With this aim in mind, we will survey the sources and types of change demands on an MIS and consider in a structured way the characteristics that an MIS should have, such that they will conduce to its flexibility in dealing with these change demands. Having laid the groundwork mentioned so far, we will discuss practical methods to enhance MIS flexibility, and end by presenting our evaluation procedure for MIS flexibility. In this paper, we have focused on and presented the following: the causes of change demands on an MIS, the internal and ex external factors that an MIS should maintain to cope with change demands, and the procedure for evaluation of MIS flexibility via analysis of the relationship between the internal and external factors. Specifically, we have elucidated the following: • MIS flexibility is an index of the ability of an MIS to absorb future change demands on it. • MIS flexibility can be evaluated quantitatively in terms of the substitute index of POC (penalty of change). • MIS flexibility consists of internal and external factors. Evaluation of external factors focuses on the volume of change demands an MIS can absorb, and evaluation of internal factors focuses on the variety of strategies to evade change risks. We have treated POC as a common index to evaluate the two categories of MIS flexibility factors. • External factors of MIS flexibility are constrained by internal factors. • Renovation of MIS infrastructure means application of information technology for evasion of change risks accompanying MIS implementation. • Proper renovation of MIS infrastructure will enhance the internal characteristics of MIS flexibility. The challenges confronting us ahead are the detailed and practical studies on the following: • quantitative relationship between each internal and external factor, • behavior of cost and utility of MIS use and MIS infrastructure on the time axis.

This research aims to identify the factors influencing Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) to adopt Social Media (SM) for marketing communication. The research was conducted through a qualitative study by interviewing SM managers of selected Pakistani HEIs. Data was analyzed using NVivo 11 to identify emerging themes. The findings revealed several internal and external factors encouraging HEIs to adopt SM marketing. Internal factors reflected the internal dynamics or beliefs within the HEIs that encouraged them to use SM for their marketing communication, whereas external factors were environmental changes, not in direct control of HEIs, but believed to contribute towards their decision to use SM. The internal factors included the belief of applicants, increased interest of senior management towards SM, perception of cost-effective promotional tool, induction of young staff, perception of SM as a modern communication tool and move towards paperless communication. The external factors included SM preference as a mode of communication, declining value of traditional marketing communication tools, E-Life inclination, presence of competitors & unofficial SM accounts of HEIs and their self-driven nature. This study draws focus towards the underlying intentions of HEIs for their SM presence and compares these motivations with other organizations. This has enabled filling in the gaps in the literature regarding the roots of SM marketing in the context of HEIs. From a practical perspective, the findings of this study will enable HEIs to compare their SM motives with other industries. A major difference found was the absence of motivation on the part of HEIs to use SM. This is in contradiction to other industries that put relationship building with customers as one of the primary motives to use SM.

ABSTRAKSI Perkembangan dibidang teknologi pertanian pada saat ini telah memberikan banyak kontribusi dibidang pertanian. Namun ternyata belum banyak dinikmati oleh para petani. Ini karena ada beberapa kendala diantarnya rendahnya pengetahuan para petani dan keterbatasan dibidang sumber daya seperti modal, tanah dan lain-lain. Respon kelompok tani terhadap peran PPL tentu mampu menciptakan terjadinya hubungan yang serasi yang bersifat interpersonal antara kelompok tani dan PPL. Ada faktor-faktor intern dan ekstern yang berpengaruh pada respon kelompok tani terhadap PPL. Faktor intern meliputi sifat stereotip, kearifan terkait menyunting stimulus, konsep tentang diri, kebutuhan dan harapan, emosi tentang diri dan pengalaman di masa lalu. Faktor ekstern antara lain : intensitas kunjungan, frekuensi kunjungan dan ukuran maupun pengulangan kunjungan. Dari hasil penelitian dapat dilihat bahwa faktor intern ataupun faktor ekstern tidak mempunyai hubungan dengan respon petani, namun hubungannya sangat kuat dengan peran PPL dan hasil analisa terdapat hubungan respon para petani terhadap peran PPL. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PPL sebagai pembimbing mempunyai kategori tinggi dengan skor 71,3%, PPL sebagai organisator mempunyai kategori sedang dengan skor 60,7%, PPL sebagai dinamisator mempunyai kategori tinggi dengan skor 81,3% dan PPL sebagai teknisi mempunyai kategori sedang dengan sekor 62,3%. Adapun saran dari penelitian ini meliputi : perlunya suasana yang kondusif antara para kelompok petani dengan PPL. Kata kunci : Peran PPL, respon petani, faktor intern dan ekstern petani   ABSTRACT Developments in the field of agricultural technology at this time have contributed a lot in the field of agriculture. However, it has not been widely enjoyed by farmers. This is because there are several obstacles including the low knowledge of farmers and limitations in the field of resources such as capital, land and others. The response of farmer groups to the role of PPL is certainly able to create a harmonious interpersonal relationship between farmer groups and PPL. There are internal and external factors that influence the response of farmer groups to PPL. Internal factors include the nature of stereotypes, wisdom related to editing the stimulus, self-concept, needs and expectations, emotions about oneself and past experiences. External factors include: intensity of visits, frequency of visits and the size and repetition of visits. From the results of the study, it can be seen that internal factors or external factors do not have a relationship with the response of farmers, but the relationship is very strong with the role of PPL and the results of the analysis show that there is a relationship between the responses of farmers to the role of PPL. The results showed that PPL as a supervisor had a high category with a score of 71.3%, PPL as an organizer had a medium category with a score of 60.7%, PPL as a dynamist had a high category with a score of 81.3% and PPL as a technician had a medium category with score 62.3%.
