The rapid development and global spread of modern information and communication technology (ICT) led to the implementation of its applications to agriculture. Information management is becoming an increasingly challenging task for farmers, but also for public bodies since for some years now, governments have entered an era of cogitation regarding the future of public service provision. Provision in agricultural governance can be implemented through ICT focusing on informing, directing, managing, and monitoring agricultural activities toward the achievement of sustainable agriculture. Dissemination of knowledge to extension agencies and then on to farmers via appropriate information models can be fed back to the international agricultural community on research or policy making level.

This study surveyed the residents of El Limón de Ocoa, a remote mountaintop agricultural community in the Dominican Republic, to examine how the community has integrated the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) since the establishment of a local telecenter in 1997. As the longest continuous-running independent telecenter in the Caribbean nation, this site provides a rich testing ground for the study of the impact of community-driven ICT adoption in under-privileged rural areas of the Western hemisphere. Analysis of survey data found that this remote agricultural community was able to leverage ICTs available at the telecenter in ways that promote social change, foster community prosperity, solidarity, and well-being.

This paper presents research on influence of information and communication technologies on decentralization of organizational structure. An empirical research was conducted, in which decentralization was described by dominant management style was compared to the level of composite index of ICT adoption. Also, consulting experience in four major Serbian companies was used to further elaborate and explain the results in the context of modern literature and practice. Conclusions were that ICT adoption is more frequently expressed in decentralized companies, empirically described by dominant liberal style of management, although ICT adoption can also lead to centralization in some cases, depending on other factors in the organization.

The rapid development of information and communication technologies has led to the use of new and digital technologies in education which involves combinations of text, graphics, audio, video, animations and other eLearning resources such as authoring tools, Learning Management System (LMS), Mobile learning and others. Arguably, using LMS leaves much to be desired. The inherent problem here is that the future of extensive adoption of ICT via LMS to enhance and promote classroom interaction in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is bleak. This is worrisome given that the country is lagging far behind in the innovative use of this web 2.0 technology to impart knowledge. Further, the low-level application of LMS in instruction connotes the loss of inherent advantages in its adoption. Also, the online setting which makes students less nervous and interactive, sharing of ideas and viewpoints; and a host of other benefit will be lost. While evidence has shown that LMS is not a new phenomenon, the use of LMS in ODL is still at its infancy, particularly in Nigeria. Research in this area is rare. A quick search on prominent research databases could testify that. It is on this thrust that this study investigates University of Ibadan undergraduate students’ perceived roles and readiness towards integration of learning management system into teaching and learning.

Over the years, the rise of digital economy has confused countries in their efforts to tax foreign companies without physically presence within their jurisdiction. One of the potential tax revenues that have not been optimally digging comes from the digital sector. The digital economy sector has enormous potential along with the rapid development of information and communication technology, especially the internet. This digital economy market is dominated by internet-based services commonly called Over The Top (OTT) services and is filled with global content owned by foreign companies. This article argues the provisions of taxation for foreign OTT lending providers in England, Australia, India, and Japan. This research used a qualitative non-case study approach.

The rapid development of information and communication technology offers solutions in effective and efficient organizational management. The implementation of information technology becomes an important aspect in the competition in the digital arena. This study aims to examine in-depth about how the application of HRIS in STPBI. The research results showed that the implementation of HRIS at STPBI is used as a strategic activity in optimizing HR functions. The transformation and implementation of HRIS has several supporting and inhibiting factors. These supporting and inhibiting factors are combined in the development of HR in line with the theoretical and literary concepts used in this study. Through integrated work synergies in the field of staffing, transparency and availability of information is very helpful in decision making. The implementation of HRIS at STPBI is based on the paradigm of a balance between supporting factors and inhibiting factors.

The main aim of this research is to contrast the existence of a positive relationship between the total factor productivity (TFP) of companies in the Spanish tourism sector and their use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). in the understanding that the trend is for companies to opt for ICT in‑ vestment and development to improve their TFP and their interaction with the international market (export and import) also leads to an improvement in TFP in the context of the “New” new trade theory. Likewise, the current debate on the dispersion of TFP has affected all economic sectors. In this case, the hy‑ pothesis revolves around the existence of a divergence of this variable between a period of crisis (2007‑2011) and a period of economic recovery (2012‑2017). The data from the Iberian Balance Sheet Analysis System (SABI) were extracted fto the ends of the correct development of this research which has allowed the TFP to be estimated using MCO, EF and LP, as well as the correct verification of the hypotheses using the SEM method. Three conclusions are reached: i) that the Spanish tourism sector seems to have a low level of ICT adoption in its business structure; ii) that TFP dispersion is demonstrated with respect to the two subperiods analysed (crisis and economic recovery), and that iii) internationalisation has a significant result on TFP.
