Governing extended networks is often associated with having the latest collaborative technology and business processes. However, current studies suggest that both are only part of the answer. This chapter argues that a holistic governing strategy needs to be adopted to achieve peak network performance. That strategy requires four conditions: 1) that each organization is ready to work with fellow business partners; 2) that network orchestrators recognize that all business relationships are not created equal and therefore need to be governed differently; 3) that a holistic governing strategy has to be adopted in order to integrate the people, technology, and processes in place; and 4) that people engagement hinges upon six factors (trust, beliefs, communications, culture, reward systems/metrics, and synergy). This chapter is a modification of an earlier work published by IGI Global.

Vehicular ad hoc networks is an emerging area for researchers to provide intelligent transportation system to the society. It is due to the wide area of applications of VANETs interest is developed among the people from different countries to be a part of it. Therefore many projects had been started and also presently working to implement VANETs in real world scenario. The main challenge in its implementation is to provide a secure mechanism against the various attacks and threats that have the capability to bring the network performance significantly down. In this paper to overcome different types of authentication based attacks in VANETs an ECDSA based secure routing protocol SE-AODV is proposed with security features incorporated in already existing AODV routing protocol. The performance of SE-AODV is evaluated and compared with original AODV and AODV with black hole attack (BH-AODV). The SE-AODV shows better performance with the parameters used for comparison with the variation in vehicle density, speed of vehicles and simulation time.

The article is focused on the increasing role of modern information technologies in banking sector. Today, the informatization process includes not only developing a safe and modern infrastructure, networks, data processing centers, but also creating the so-called digital economy on the basis of this infrastructure, which will bring new sources of income to the state and the people. The banking sector of the Russian Federation is most actively involved in the process of solving this problem. The development of automated business processes in VTB Bank (PJSC) is considered in detail. There is presented an overview of the bank's information technologies in such key areas as artificial intelligence, big data analysis, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, optical recognition, robotics, robotization of process, blockchain, and chat bots. The dynamics of the main indicators of a financial institution activity is analyzed, an assessment of indicators characterizing the dynamics of changes in capital, net profit and profitability of the bank is presented. It has been stated that the strategic directions for the development of business processes in VTB Bank (PJSC) are constructing an advanced operational and technological platform, increasing the level of digitalization of the banking business, leadership in the financial services market in a number of ecosystems, developing a highly productive organization and culture, as well as growing the customer-centricity of business models. The block diagram of the VTB Bank transformation for 2020–2022 and the target version of the IT architecture of the bank have been illustrated. Changes in the IT architecture are one of the stages of the bank's digital transformation strategy.

This chapter introduces collaborative commerce as a means of integrating information technologies into e-business adoption. It explains how companies use information technology to achieve a closer integration and a better management of business relationships among business partners, including internal personnel, business partners, and customers. In this chapter, collaborative commerce is defined as (1) a collaborative technology, similar to workflow collaboration; (2) a customer-driven technology, similar to a pull-type supply chain; (3) a functionally integrated technology, similar to concurrent engineering; and (4) a business-driven technology, similar to enterprise resource planning, for cross-organisational integration. The authors hope that understanding the characteristics and infrastructures of collaborative commerce can improve the adoption of the technologies.

E-business is an innovation that modern day organisations cannot do without. It is based on technology, evolves with technological developments, digitises and automates business processes, is global and leads to improved competitiveness, efficiencies, increased market share, and business expansion. E-businesses models include business-to-business, business-to-consumer, government-to-government, government-to-business, government-to-consumer and numerous others that evolve with new developments. Technological developments applied to e-business results in new issues in the organisation, in dealing with business partners and customers, requires new laws and regulations and automated business processes. Conducting business electronically is a change from traditional ways of doing things, leading to large scale transformation of existing business. To attain business efficiencies from e-business, it is imperative that organisations effectively manage the e-business environment, and all associated changes to digitize and maintain the environment. This chapter discusses management paradigms essential for e-business change management.

Despite the development of e-business standards, the integration of business processes and business information systems is still a non-trivial issue if business partners use different e-business standards for formatting and describing information to be processed. Since those standards can be understood as ontologies, ontological engineering technologies can be applied for processing, especially ontology matching for reconciling them. However, as e-business standards tend to be rather large-scale ontologies, scalability is a crucial requirement. To serve this demand, we present our ORBI Ontology Mediator. It is linked with our Malasco system for partition-based ontology matching with currently available matching systems, which so far do not scale well, if at all. In our case study we show how to provide dynamic semantic synchronization between business partners using different e-business standards without initial ramp-up effort, based on ontological mapping technology combined with interactive user participation.

Organizations today face intense competitive and economic pressures leading to large scale transformation of existing business operations and transactions. In addition, organizations have adopted automated business processes to deal with partners and customers. E-business diffusion is a multi-phase process, moving from initiation through to routinisation and an insight into the adoption processes helps organizations to adopt e-business more effectively. It is imperative that organizations effectively manage the e-business environment, and all associated changes to accommodate the changing relationships with customers and business partners and more importantly, to improve performance. This chapter discusses the process of e-business implementation, usage and diffusion (routinisation stage) on business performance.

Big Data Analytics has changed the way organizations make decisions, manage business processes, and create new products and services. Business analytics is the use of data, information technology, statistical analysis, and quantitative methods and models to support organizational decision making and problem solving. The main categories of business analytics are descriptive analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics. Big Data is data that exceeds the processing capacity of conventional database systems and is typically defined by three dimensions known as the Three V's: Volume, Variety, and Velocity. Big Data brings big challenges. Big Data not only has influenced the analytics that are utilized but also has affected technologies and the people who use them. At the same time Big Data brings challenges, it presents opportunities. Those who embrace Big Data and effective Big Data Analytics as a business imperative can gain competitive advantage.

The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), Canada, is currently implementing an asset management business framework (AMBF). The AMBF provides the ministry with an ambitious blueprint for incorporating asset management concepts into its existing business processes. A key component in the AMBF is the ability to integrate results from the ministry's existing management systems. In support of the AMBF, MTO has developed a prototype executive support system (ESS). The ESS is a what-if analysis tool that predicts network performance over time using data from the ministry's pavement and bridge management systems. It enables decision makers to evaluate the relationship between performance and budget and to view results by region, corridor, or functional class. This paper presents the analytical approach used to develop the ESS and describes how it was implemented by MTO. The ESS uses a candidate-based approach to system integration, which enables the integration of any management system capable of generating work candidates and estimating their impact on a defined set of performance measures. The ESS brings together data from these systems and performs an additional level of cross-asset economic optimizations, taking into account user-defined operating assumptions. Although much work has recently been done on the integration of pavement and bridge systems, the objective of this paper is to present a practical example implemented by MTO.

The effectiveness of IT should be related first to the role of IT in supporting and enabling the effective and efficient execution of business processes and business activities, and to the availability and characteristics of IT as perceived by the people who use it. These are the user-based and value-based dimensions of IT effectiveness. The more technical aspects, which stem from the architectural and infrastructure requirements of IT supplying functions, comprise the product-based and manufacturing-based dimensions of IT effectiveness.

The aim of this chapter is to study the main impacts of social media on business value and performance. ICT can be a resource in resource-based perspective, becoming itself a possible source of competitive advantage (in terms of performance and value creation). A proactively tailored organization strategy can drive the people, processes, and systems, harmoniously pulling all the stakeholders in unison. Social media can bring in the commitment of the workforce and ensure involved, flexible, innovative working practices, improving the quality of work. When properly used, they can build organizations to more flexible structures, sharing services, competitiveness and interdependencies. The business processes can be harmonized by standard operating procedures, automated systems of agreed quality, prime up the competency development and facilitate clear career paths. Refining suppleness to work in tune to market demands and supplementing employee satisfaction can foster the development of individual accountability leading to leadership evolution.
