This chapter discusses the concept of homo informaticus—the individual organization member framed in the IVO perspective. Homo informaticus is a cognitive microcosm that performs complex cognitive processes, engages in decision making and satisfying of informing needs, and designs and evaluates information systems (IS). Discussed are cognitive processes of thinking, feeling, perceiving, memorizing/memory recalling, and learning. These cognitive processes are involved in the fundamental informing process that starts with perception of external data, continues with applying knowledge to data, and ends with inferring information (meaning). The perspective of key cognitive processes enriches the informing model: perception is driven by previous knowledge, memory retrieval is engaged, and thinking is an overall driver, engaging both ratio and emotions. The discussion addresses cognitive limitations. Memory is limited in volume and content, perception is prone to illusions, and thinking is susceptible to biases. These limitations influence the outcomes of informing (information created) and learning (knowledge acquired). Decision making is affected as well, as indicated in its various models that reveal non-rational aspects. It is argued that homo informaticus is subject to informing (information) needs and actively seeks to satisfy them. Several models addressing this topic are examined. The chapter also covers cognitive and learning types that can be used for understanding the diversity characterizing homo informaticus. Karl Jung's typology is coupled with the dimensions of data scope, location, and processing mode. Kolb's learning styles are discussed in turn. Furthermore, the system evaluation capability of homo informaticus is demonstrated in the context of system adoption models. Finally, the system design capability is discussed in the historical context of Scandinavian experience.

This article seeks to comment on the approaches to health technology assessment (HTA) outlined in the four main country studies in this volume. It is written from the perspective of a general practitioner working in an inner city area in the United Kingdom and argues that, from the point of view of the clinician, HTA delivers considerably less than it promises. The problems center on the inevitability of judgment by both politicians and clinicians and the conflicting foundations of these judgments. Within political decision-making, the needs of the population inevitably outweigh the needs of the individual; within clinical decision making, the opposite is the case. Attempting a scientific rationality, HTA struggles with the impossibility of holding the balance between the two. These difficulties are further compounded by the implications of ever-increasing expectations of perfect health and the effects of multinational commercial pressures.

SMEs are one of the economic entities that form the backbone of the economy in many countries. SMEs contribute substantial GDP to the country and are one of the solutions for efforts to provide employment and economic performance. However, so far SMEs have only been able to serve the domestic market, even though they have great potential to enter the international market. Not many SMEs are brave and motivated to do pivot businesses by utilizing digital technology and the era of openness to expanding overseas markets. Some many factors are suspected to be the cause. Through the literature review method, this paper seeks to identify the factors that influence SMEs to go international, primarily from the point of view of individual factors and organizational factors. From the results of previous research conducted in many countries, it was found that the individual factors and organizational factors contributed significantly to the decision making of SMEs to Go International.

Objectives: There are few studies, which identify the support received by high school students in the decision making process for careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The objective of the present study is to know the narratives of the students according to their interactions within their social and school environment, understanding the individual interest of the student in terms of mastery, tastes, participation, curiosity and attachment to the areas. Methodology: A focus group session was held with students of the mathematics career. From three trigger questions that assessed a total of 10 dimensions in the group, which allowed adjusting and enriching the theoretical structure through the synthetic analytical method to discover relationships and general characteristics. Contribution: The areas of interaction between friends within social roles and tutoring by teachers in the school context, are activities that strengthened decision making for people who participated in the focus group. Specific dimensions are defined for the intervention for the benefit of social inclusion in disadvantaged communities within the disciplines C.T.I.M. should be taken into account, especially by specialists in these areas.

Do So

My purpose in what follows is not so much to defend the basic principle of utilitarianism as to indicate the form of it which seems most promising as a basic moral and political position. I shall take the principle of utility as offering a criterion for two different sorts of evaluation: first, the merits of acts of government, social policies, and social institutions, and secondly, the ultimate moral evaluation of the actions of individuals. I do not take it as implying that the individual should live his life on the basis of constant evaluations of this sort. For there are different levels of decision making each with its appropriate criteria. For example, we each inevitably make many of our decisions from the point of view of our own personal self-fulfilment and this cannot regularly take a directly utilitarian form, nor should the utilitarian want it to do so. His claim is at most that we should sometimes review our life from the point of view of a kind of impersonal moral truth of a universalistic utilitarian character.

A greater understanding of team cognitive processes can be facilitated by identifying the individual goals of the team members and their situation awareness (SA) requirements. In some environments, such as military operations, the shear complexity, size, and composition of the team make this research quite challenging. Using a form of cognitive task analysis, we have developed an approach to address some of these team issues. In this paper we discuss the use of goal directed cognitive task analysis (GDTA) to obtain an accurate depiction of the SA requirements and key goals for several brigade officers. We further discuss how this information is being used to address team issues such as designing systems for enhancing team performance and decision making with Army brigade officers.

The availability for work and durability of employment of disabled people depends on a range of factors. These are factors of demographic-social, cultural, economic, legal, organizational-institutional nature. These are also factors of biomedical nature (psychological-personal and medical) that shape individual functional abilities of the individual, i.a. the nature of cognitive processes, knowledge acquisition, development of skills and competences that are significant from the point of view of professional path, efficiency of work that is provided, mobility, flexibility or adaptability skills. The aim of this paper is to discuss functional nature of people with various disabilities in the context of professional limitations and capabilities.

It is important that an auditorium be designed to have as many good seats as possible. Not all seats in an auditorium are judged to be equally good. This is manifested in that the audience does not choose its seats randomly. The audience understands intuitively that, generally speaking, the closer a seat is to the performers, and the more straight on the better it is. Acoustics should be the most important consideration in selecting a seat, prior to a concert. However, the visual, comfort and economic factors are also important, along with others, not easy to isolate or define. Imagine an auditorium with open seating and the audience entering one at a time. People will in turn make a selection of what in their opinion is the best remaining seat. The order in which the seats are chosen is an indicator of the rank order of the desirability of the individual seats. As the audience makes its seat selection, a geometric pattern of the occupied seats unfolds, and reveals the boundary of the preferred seats. The perimeters describe the equal desirability curves and outlines the auditorium plan with as many good seats as possible. The audience choice of seat is recorded by time lapse photography. The data is analysed in a combined computer drawing and mathematics program. A mathematical model has been developed that evaluates the desirability of the seating in an auditorium from the audience point of view.
