Governance Challenges

The financial sector plays a significant role in the economics of all nations. The Saudi Arabian economy ranks amongst the top twenty in the world. Consequently, the financial sector occupies a critical position within Saudi Arabia. Contemporary digital technology has rendered the financial sector heavily dependent upon information technology (IT) as a means of enhancing and extending its operational scope. Hence, efficient governance is required to streamline and utilize information technology. Moreover, the pivotal importance of the financial sector requires that IT governance challenges have to be swiftly identified. However, there is a manifest absence of scholarship regarding IT governance issues not only in the widest sense, but also specifically in the context of the financial sectors. This research seeks to identify the inherent challenges associated with IT governance in Saudi Arabia's financial sector with a view to generalizing any findings and contributing to future research in this field.

الاقتصاد الشبكي: الأسس والمفاهيم شكري محمد الصالح حجلاوي كلية العلوم والدراسات الإنسانية بشقراء، المملكة العربية السعودية الملخص: شهدت المجتمعات في العقود الأخيرة انتشاراً واسعاً للتكنولوجيا الرقمية وأصبح الجميع يعيش في عالم من الشبكات المعقدة. أدت هذه التحولات إلى تغير عميق في سلوكيات الوحدات الاقتصادية من جانبي العرض والطلب مما أدى إلى ولادة مناهج جديدة في الاقتصادي الجزئي وظهور الاقتصاد الشبكي. إن أحد أهم الأسس التي يرتكز عليها الاقتصاد الشبكي هي أن قيمة السلع الشبكية تعتمد بشكل أساسي على وجود التأثيرات الخارجية للشبكة التي تؤثر على قرار المستهلك وبالتالي على نموذج انتشار السلع الشبكية. في هذا المقال نتناول بالشرح الأسس والمفاهيم الأساسية كمدخل للاقتصاد الشبكي. الكلمات المفتاحية: الاقتصاد الشبكي، التأثيرات الخارجية للشبكة RESEARCH ARTICLE Network Economy:Foundations and Concepts Shokry Mohamed Salah Hajlaoui Shaqra University College of Science and Humanities, kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abstract In recent decades, societies have witnessed huge spread of digital technology and everyone became submerged in a world of complex networks. This shift led to a deep change in the behavior of economic units on both the supply and demand sides, giving birth to new approaches in microeconomics and the emergence of the network economy. One of the most important foundations of network economy is that the value of network goods is mainly dependent on the existence of Network Externalities which influence consumer decision and by which the diffusion model of network goods. In this article, we will explain the basic principles and concepts as an introduction to the network economy. Keywords: network economy, network externalities

First Case

Background The first case of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia was confirmed on March 3, 2020. Saudi Arabia, like many other countries worldwide, implemented lockdown of most public and private services in response to the pandemic and established population movement restrictions nationwide. With the implementation of these strict mitigation regulations, technology and digital solutions have enabled the provision of essential services. Objective The aim of this paper is to highlight how Saudi Arabia has used digital technology during the COVID-19 pandemic in the domains of public health, health care services, education, telecommunication, commerce, and risk communication. Methods We documented the use of digital technology in Saudi Arabia during the pandemic using publicly available official announcements, press briefings and releases, news clips, published data, peer-reviewed literature, and professional discussions. Results Saudi Arabia’s government and private sectors combined developed and launched approximately 19 apps and platforms that serve public health functions and provide health care services. A detailed account of each is provided. Education processes continued using an established electronic learning infrastructure with a promising direction toward wider adoption in the future. Telecommunication companies exhibited smooth collaboration as well as innovative initiatives to support ongoing efforts. Risk communication activities using social media, websites, and SMS text messaging followed best practice guides. Conclusions The Saudi Vision 2030 framework, released in 2017, has paved the path for digital transformation. COVID-19 enabled the promotion and testing of this transition. In Saudi Arabia, the use of artificial intelligence in integrating different data sources during future outbreaks could be further explored. Also, decreasing the number of mobile apps and merging their functions could increase and facilitate their use.

Digital Competency

Our public universities in Saudi Arabia have made considerable investments in digital hardware, on-site training, and online tutorials to improve the quality of e-learning. However, there is an observed gap among students between the expected and actual use of digital technology in their learning. To close that gap, this requires a conceptual evaluation model that illustrates technological actions students are involved in, the level of digital proficiency they are in, type of digital technology they use, and kind of support they need. This study used the Digital Competency Profiler to evaluate the digital competency of public university students in Saudi Arabia. Data on 94 students from a public university were collected using an online platform. Multiple procedures were used for instrument validation, data screening, and data analysis. Findings from the study suggest that the majority of public university students had high digital readiness for performing social and informational skills through smartphones. In addition, most of university students missed all skills in the epistemological competency and some technical skills. Finally, implications for practice, limitations for generalization, and directions for future research are presented.

The research followed the qualitative approach to collect the data needed through conducting interviews with a round 40 participants including three stakeholders (Government, Academia, and businesses). Five main obstacles have been identified and are discussed. They are socio-cultural factors such the dominate role of men, and lack of family support. In addition to that, insufficient experiences and training in digital technology, and finally childcare system in KSA. Further efforts are needed to raise the society awareness towards the role of women as human capital to participate in the nation's development, and efforts are needed by different stakeholders to empower, support and enable women to engage in labour market effectively. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0787/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide clinical supervisors with information pertaining to state-of-the-art clinic observation technology. We use a novel video-capture technology, the Landro Play Analyzer, to supervise clinical sessions as well as to train students to improve their clinical skills. We can observe four clinical sessions simultaneously from a central observation center. In addition, speech samples can be analyzed in real-time; saved on a CD, DVD, or flash/jump drive; viewed in slow motion; paused; and analyzed with Microsoft Excel. Procedures for applying the technology for clinical training and supervision will be discussed.
