Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on buses and at major bus terminal in large cities in Indonesia is needed for sustainable transportation. Based on the existing condition of buses and major bus terminals, ICT implementation cannot be completed at one go, but needs to be done in different stages. The aims of this study are identification of existing ICT implementation, to determine the necessity and priority of ICT implementation based on passengers’ needs and to provide stages of ICT implementation on buses and at major bus terminals in Indonesia for the purpose of sustainable transportation. Case studies are carried on Trans-Sarbagita buses and at Mengwi major bus terminal in Denpasar, Bali and on Surabaya-Yogyakarta buses and at Purabaya major bus terminal in Surabaya, Indonesia. Five hundred and sixty-six passengers and the terminal authority are involved in this study. Data collecting method is questionnaire and interview. Important performance analysis is used in analysis. Results indicated that the stages are: 1) maintenance of existing ICT daily operations, i.e. CCTV and online-ticketing, 2) dissemination of existing and future ICT facilities to the society, 3) effort to implement ICT needed by passengers, 4) effort to implement ICT based on passengers’ priority, and 5) implementation of other advanced ICT in the future with financial support and the firm effort of local government, national government and industry, consistently and continuously.

Globalized World

Information and communication technology (ICT) has the credit to be relatively more closely related to the society facilitating economic transactions to be easy and fast and social wellbeing in all walks of life. It has had global and international importance, as it has worked as an important tool in globalizing the world, and has become a pressing necessity of the globalized world. Moreover, its relevance in the globalized world is intensifying, as its constructive role is every day spiraling. Its vale in that sense will go on mounting. On the other hand, its evil-ridden uses and abuses are menacing the people and countries around the world. Delinquent people and rogue countries are using the technology for achieving their sinister objectives. This aspect of the technology is bothering policymakers, business executives and individuals in the society. In view of this, two pertinent questions arise: one, which of the two aspects of the information and communication technology is dominant; and second, what preventive and punitive measures should we adopt in order to mitigate the evil use of the technology. A vivid comparison of both, which has been carried out in the paper, demonstrates that the beneficial use of the information and communication technology is predominantly high. Thus, our strategy, as the paper suggests, should be to support the useful aspect of the technology with useful conditionality so that it could abate and control its evil use, and to adopt preventive and punitive measures in order to defeat the evil-doers. For that, both legal and extralegal tools should be adhered to. Towards these, the paper offers some useful suggestions.

This paper studies the paradigmatic shift as the effect on the crossing organizational boundaries activities. Boundary crossing as part of specific function of organizations is common to organization theories. Nevertheless, the increasing and strong rate of occurrence of the crossing boundary activities is considered important today as the consequence of the technological revolution in information and communication technology coupled with the future technologies. Crossing boundaries influence the people involved and the institutional sets. The relationships within the boundaries are increasingly dynamic. Hence, this, in turn, may lead to paradigmatic shift. From the perspective of organization and innovation studies these processes are to a great extent attractive since they may create different conditions the existing literatures on organization as well as innovation, and consequently, on marketing. Therefore, this paper aims at studying the marketing strategy response of an organization by identifying states that emerge or condition that may be created as the paradigms shifted.

Role Of Information

Competitiveness of a firm is its capacity to achieve its targets. These targets are likely to be expressed in a variety of terms depending on the context (Barney 2002). Within a macroeconomic perspective, a competitive firm develops and sustains a level of performance that contributes to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment opportunities, and the wealth of the people. From an entrepreneurial perspective, a competitive firm needs to survive in the market and to achieve market share and profitability. This paper deliberates regarding the theory of competitive advantage and discusses the role of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for augmenting SMEs' competitiveness.
