Information technology. Security techniques. Management of information and communications technology security

The number of distance education and e-learning programs has been on the rise for some time now (Hannan & Silver, 2000). In the United States, the National Survey of Information Technology in Higher Education, as part of its Campus Computing Project, carries out regular surveys of the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in higher education (USA-DOE, 2000).

National Strategic Plan

The chapter explores the diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) in the country of Jamaica, and within the context of the national strategic plan for information technology. Further it utilizes the concept of institutional intervention to discuss some policies and initiatives undertaken in support of the plan. Within this framework, the impacts of managed interventions via collaborative projects between government and international agencies on the adoption of Internet technologies by small and medium-sized enterprises are also examined. The aim of the authors is to indicate that as far as developing countries are concerned, governments can affect the diffusion and adoption of ICT through policymaking but more positive outcomes can be realized through managed interventions.

Chapter 1 defines cooperative strategy, and compares it with competitive and corporate strategy. Cooperative strategy can help to improve competitive strategy by enhancing the qualities that afford competitive advantage. It can also strengthen corporate strategy by making the corporate mission more attainable. The chapter notes the growing use of cooperative strategies in various forms. The range is wide and includes collaborations between two or relatively few organizations such as joint ventures and research and development partnerships; multi-partner alliances such as oil-exploration consortia, industry-wide associations, innovation networks, global supply chains, collaborations through information and communications technology platforms; and public–private partnerships. The chapter recognizes the importance of information technology in assisting the management and coordination of alliances and networks, but notes that it cannot substitute for trust-based personal relationships between key actors crucial for successful cooperation. The chapter then describes how the book is organized into parts and chapters.

A tanulmány célja, hogy megvizsgálja a kínai és indiai vállalatok magyarországi befektetéseit, azok fő jellemzőit és a magyar kormány ún. „Keleti nyitás” politikájának szerepét e beruházások alakulásában. A szerző a két ázsiai óriásgazdaságból származó befektetések ágazati megoszlásával, piacra lépésük módjával és motivációival foglalkozik. Mindkét ország vállalatai számára az autóipar a legvonzóbb ágazat, de a kínaiak szívesen fektetnek be az információ- és kommunikációtechnológiai (information and communications technology, ICT) termékgyártó (elektronikai) és szolgáltató, illetve a megújulóenergia-ágazatokba is, az indiaiak pedig az információtechnológiai (information technology, IT) és az üzletifolyamat-kiszervezési (business process outsourcing, BPO) szolgáltatásokba, valamint a vegyiparba. Elsősorban zöldmezős beruházások vagy felvásárlások útján lépnek be a magyar piacra, és dominánsak a piac-, illetve stratégiaieszköz-kereső motivációik. 2010 után a Keleti nyitás politika pozitívan befolyásolta számos Magyarországra „újonnan érkező” kínai és indiai befektető lokációválasztását, illetve a hazánkban már letelepedettek bővítő beruházásait.

Distributed Energy

By focusing on a distributed energy system that has been widely diffused for efficient utilization of renewable energy generation in recent years, this paper investigates the relationship between productivity growth and information and communications technology capital in the energy sector. Information and communications technology is a key factor in operating distributed energy systems in a way that balances energy supply and demand in order to minimize energy loss and to enhance capacity utilization. The objective of this study is to clarify the determining factors that affect productivity growth, focusing on three different information and communications technologies: information technology capital, communication technology capital and software capital. Our estimation sample covers energy sectors in 14 countries from 2000 to 2014. The results show that information technology and software capital contribute to increasing material productivity and capital productivity in the energy sector, respectively. Meanwhile, communication technology capital negatively affects these two productivity indicators.
