The purpose of this paper is to serve as a departure point for a discussion on the design of a course in Advanced Information Technologies, with a special emphasis upon providing students with the tools to identify new, emerging technologies. The paper also shares the experience of offering such a course to graduate students in Information Systems during the Spring of 1999, the Spring of 2001, and the Spring of 2002. The course was designed to engage the students in participatory learning exercises in order to give them experience differentiating emerging from simply new information technologies, using principles described early in the course.

Systematic Framework

While many organizations and individuals use social media and information technologies (IT) to overcome the limitations of time and space, they often experience unintended consequences from increased immediacy and access. How can they achieve the desirable changes and address the negative effects that can result? This article presents a systematic framework that managers can use to proactively identify ways to either leverage or mitigate the increased immediacy and access. Specific examples are used as illustrations to demonstrate how these issues can be anticipated and used for competitive advantage. They are not offered as specific “prescriptions” for any one organization. Rather, they show how the framework can inform managers as they evaluate proposals for, and implementation plans of, new information systems in their organizations.

This case study examines the impact of online reservation systems and e-commerce on the travel industry. Two questions are examined: 1. How can competitive advantage be obtained from the exploitation of new information technologies—in particular, e-commerce technologies? 2. How has the role of travel agents changed because of the new information technologies being used to achieve competitive advantage in the air travel industry? Initial discussion concerns the impact of the American Airlines SABRE system, as this has often been touted as giving American Airlines first-mover advantage in the industry. The wider impact of remote-access, computerized reservation systems, or Global Distribution Systems, and e-commerce access to online reservations in the travel industry is analyzed, using Porter’s five-force model of industry competitive forces, to understand how the travel industry has shaped and has been shaped by information systems. The case study concludes with a comparison of the impact of information technologies between the U.S. and European travel industries. It concludes that technology alone does not affect the roles of industry players, but the development of winning technologies exploits structural factors in the environment. Constant evolution of strategic information systems is critical to producing competitive advantage, but opportunism also plays a strong role.

The monograph is devoted to the consideration of the possibilities of using state information systems in various spheres of public administration. The authors study both the current state and the development prospects of domestic legislation on information systems; analyze the implementation of state information systems in education, healthcare, financial management, environmental protection, etc., paying particular attention to the effectiveness of their use. Separately, the work considers the advisability of switching to new information technologies in public administration, such as blockchain, “big data”, etc., taking into account potential threats from their implementation and their elimination by legal means.

New information technologies (IT) can enhance management information systems (MIS) education by improving the quality of the learning experience. This chapter proposes a tri-dimensional conceptual model based on the pedagogical assumptions of the course, the time dimension of the communication between students and professors, and the geographical location of learners and instructors. The implications of the model are reviewed in terms of their potential to contribute to teaching MIS courses and doing research in computer-supported MIS education.

The article deals with the dynamic development of information and communication technologies and their impact on the education system, as well as the importance of forming an information culture of students through the use of information technologies in biology lessons. For biological science, which is constantly updated and updated information base, the use of information technologies in the educational process is becoming more rational and acceptable. In particular, the use of a virtual laboratory, an online microscope, multimedia information systems and various animations in biology classes makes the lesson interesting and useful. Thus, with the help of systematic informatization, students can be helped to study in an open education system, toform a system of thinking and independence.This article contributes to the formation of information culture in the process of teaching and training students through information and communication technologies using new information systems in biology lessons and contributes to a more detailed understanding of the problem of Informatization of education.

The Individual

Understanding information technologies and systems in the context of nonprofits is under-developed field of study. Hence, this chapter reviews current literature on this field. It maps four conventional views on ICT's benefits for the sector. Then, using insights generated through an ethnographic study on a small voluntary organisation, the challenges and issues surrounding the process of adoption and use of both typical and new information technologies are explored. It is finally discussed that social technologies, based on the notion of Web 2.0, may have some partial advantageous for volunteer-based organisations but perhaps greater benefits will emerge at the individual level.

Logical Design

One of the most promising new information technologies is analytical databases that allow us to analyze the dynamics of the behavior of the control object in the historical aspect. The introduction of analytical databases increases the efficiency of information systems. In particular, one of the criteria for effectiveness is the security of an information system, on which analytical databases have a fairly significant impact, which at first glance is not obvious. In the material of this article, the problems of organizing and implementing security in analytical databases will be considered, as well as the method of logical design of information support for distributed information systems of critical application under the prism of ensuring the security of this system.
