The use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) as a business tool has increased rapidly for the past 10 years (Bonsón, Coffin, & Watson, 2000; Claessens, Glaessner, & Klingebiel, 2000; Vasarhelyi & Greenstein, 2003). More specifically, financial software, e-banking, and the Internet, as core aspects of the various technologies used, have become driving forces behind the expansion of firms and the development of cash management. New technologies are considered as one of the most attractive ways for businesses to increase revenue and achieve economies of scale that can reduce unit costs (Ballantine & Stray, 1998; Barajas & Villanueva, 2001; Daniel, 1999; Daniel & Storey, 1997; Deyoung, 2001; Downes & Muy, 1998; Faulder, 2001; Jayawardhena & Foley, 2000). There are different studies about the use of ICT in the management of the enterprise that explain the obtaining of enterprise performance. Brynjolfsson and Hitt (2000) and Nájera (2005) have done a review of these works and a classification of these types of researches. Unfortunately, there are not specific works or empirical researches about the use of e-banking in cash management; consequently, this work is focused in this. The rest of the chapter is structured as follows. The theoretical foundation on which the study is based is explained in Section 2. Section 3 presents the data and the analysis procedure used to conduct the empirical study. The main results of the investigation are shown in Section 4, and Section 5 presents conclusions. The chapter ends with a list of bibliographical references.

Attitude Scales

In this paper, the authors present a scale elaborated in order to find out towards training and continuum improvement in NICT (new information and communication technologies) of education professionals, since this attitude is negative to them. This may be En este artículo se presenta una escala elaborada con el fin de conocer las actitudes sobre la formación y perfeccionamiento en las nuevas tecnologías de la información (NTIC) de los profesionales de la educación ya que muchos no han desarrollado aún una actitud favorable hacia ellas. Ésta puede ser una de las razones por las que no las utilicen en el aula, lo que conlleva una falta de aprovechamiento de los beneficios que pueden aportar tanto a su trabajo como al aprendizaje de sus alumnos. Para ello, después se teoriza sobre las actitudes y la formación y perfeccionamiento en NTIC, finalizando con la construcción de una Escala Likert.

Using the example of the Masters in Records Management by Distance Learning at the University of Nortumbria at Newcastle in the United Kingdom, the article will explore the potentials of the new information and communication technologies and the implications for using them as a means of delivery for education for information professionals.The key challenge is to ensure that the education instils not only an awareness of the technologies and skills in their use but also the capacity to understand and evaluate their potential since they are the prime tools of trade for information professionals today. An effective approach is to study the technologies through using the technologies but success can only be achieved if the wider systems of processes and approaches, based on teamwork, are developed to recognise specialisms and divisions of labour.

In the face of the advance of new technologies that has been occurring and reaching all sectors of society, this article presents a discussion guided by scholars about the changes that are occurring in education. It is important to think of how you can use so many resources available today while providing power changes in the teaching-learning process which until then was seen as something static and conservative. The task of the teacher in the twenty-first century is no longer ready to take the knowledge to the student, but rather has the role of acting as a mediator and facilitator in the process of knowledge construction. The changes that are taking place have led educators to seek knowledge and expertise so that they can perform satisfactorily their role in society.

Recently, many articles deal with Internet and mobile phones that have penetrated all sectors of the economy, including agriculture, in the light of their benefits. Various reports, including the World Bank, describe the main benefits of new information and communication technologies and promote their greater integration into the wider economy to increase efficiency by completing other production factors and fostering innovation, for example, drastically reducing transaction costs. The article analyzes recent literature but also presents novelty elements that emerged from questions such as the risks associated with new technologies considering that there are not enough studies in the field confirming, on the one hand, the benefits but also the losses caused by them. Keyword: New technology, agriculture, innovation

This paper explores the role of intermediaries in the development and appropriation of new technologies. We focus on intermediaries that facilitate user innovation, and the linking of user innovation into supply side activities. We review findings on intermediaries in some of our studies and other available literature to build a framework to explore of how intermediaries work in making innovation happen. We make sense of these processes by taking a long-term view of the dynamics of technology and market development using the social learning in technological innovation (SLTI) framework. Our primary concern is with innovation intermediaries and their core roles of configuring, facilitating and brokering technologies, uses and relationships in uncertain and emerging markets. We show the range of positions and influence they have along the supply-use axis in a number of different innovation contexts, and how they are able to bridge the user-developer innovation domains. Equipped with these insights, we explore in more depth how intermediaries affect the shape of new information and communication technologies and the importance of identifying and nurturing the user-side intermediaries that are crucial to innovation success.

Governments around the world have come to recognize the potential of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's) to reshape the ways in which they interact with citizens, businesses and other key stakeholders, hence the current move towards e-Government. A major goal of e-Government initiatives is to improve the quality of public service delivery through providing individuals and organizations with a coherent interface with government that has to be organized around their needs rather than the structure of government bodies. To that end, many governments have begun applying to their e-Government strategies the commercial concept commonly referred to as “Customer Relationship Management” (CRM), thus generating a new field of knowledge and related applications. This chapter discusses some of the key issues to implementing CRM in e-Government. It lays particular stress on the CRM capabilities of identifying and differentiating users, promoting take-up of e-Government and measuring the progress against its stated objectives. The conceptual framework will also be related to a case-study dealing with the Italian Revenue Agency, responsible for collecting tax and customs duties for government, which is developing a rich CRM program along with an ICT re-engineering process.

This paper analyses the adoption of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) by Spanish journalists specialising in science. Applying an ethnographic research model, this study was based on a wide sample of professionals, aiming to evaluate the extent by which science journalists have adopted the new media and changed the way they use information sources. In addition, interviewees were asked whether in their opinion the Web 2.0 has had an impact on the quality of the news. The integration of formats certainly implies a few issues for today’s newsrooms. Finally, with the purpose of improving the practice of science information dissemination, the authors put forward a few proposals, namely: Increasing the training of Spanish science journalists in the field of new technologies; Emphasising the accuracy of the information and the validation of sources; Rethinking the mandates and the tasks of information professionals.

A noção de tecnossocialidade desenvolvida no contexto dos estudos sociais de tecnologia (STS), amplamente debatida no âmbito da reflexão tecnofeminista, traz à tona a construção social de gênero e tecnologia, e a necessidade de considerar conjuntamente as tecnologias de gênero e a criação de tecnologias. Este ensaio analisa a contribuição teórica e prática do ciberfeminismo para o debate, analisando as fases utópica e crítica do ciberfeminismo, para se debruçar sobre o encontro entre o ciberfeminismo, o pensamento pós-colonial e o feminismo transcultural. Voltando à raiz política do pensamento de Donna Haraway sobre o conhecimento ciborgue e situado, o ciberfeminismo situado e transcultural recupera a dimensão encarnada das novas tecnologias e utiliza e analisa novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação considerando seus efeitos materiais e simbólicos em relação à dinâmica de produção e consumo, de colocação e mobilidade, para reivindicar uma ação feminista que brota dos contextos e histórias em que o entrelaçamento de corpos e tecnologias faz a diferença.AbstractThe notion of technosociality elaborated in the sphere of Social Studies of Technology (STS), is widely debated within technofeminist thought, and brings to the fore the social construction of gender and technology, and the necessity of considering the conjunctions of technologies of gender and the engendering of technologies. This essay analyses the theoretical and practical contribution of cyberfeminism to the debate, analysing the utopian and critical phases of cyberfeminism to explore the encounter between cyberfeminism, postcolonial thought and transcultural feminism. Returning to the political roots of Donna Haraway's thought on the cyborg and her situated thoughts, a situated and transcultural cyberfeminism recuperates the dimension embodied by new technologies, and adopts and analyses new information and communication technologies through considering material and symbolic effects in relation to the dynamics of production and consumption, of collocation and mobility, to then revindicate feminist action which emerges from those contexts and stories in which the entwining of bodies and technologies creates difference.
