Shadow It

More and more companies are trying to optimize their corporate goals through digitalization. These include large corporations, medium-sized companies, but also small businesses. Starting with a central information system, companies are networking to obtain as much information as possible and to keep processes lean in order to increase sales and profits. The complexity of an ERP system often prevents complete transparency in use due to gaps in knowledge. This makes faster, simpler solutions from the common software shelf appear more attractive and is preferred by the user. The aim of this research is to determine the factors for the use of shadow IT. Thus, connections with general information systems such as an ERP system become recognizable. The research questions which are derived from this: What types of shadow IT exist in Germany and Serbia? What are the reasons for a use and do they entail risks? In order to be able to answer these questions, a thorough analysis of the applied software is required. In this case, this also includes an analysis from the user's point of view. These considerations are also differentiated regionally as well as content-related in the following research. Here, experts from European companies were interviewed. By means of a survey, participants were able to explain their use of additional software. This results in interpretations regarding the use of shadow IT. There is a clear trend towards the use of certain auxiliary software. In addition to the strengths and weaknesses of the shadow IT, this work also conveys the weak points of the standardized information system, such as the ERP system and its modules.

The article highlights the aspects of risk management in the information system. According to the analysis of the work of Russian and foreign scientists and world practices in the field of risk management, it is stated that there is a need to improve the effectiveness of risk management of information system and to develop a method for managing the risks of the information system. As a solution to the problem of effective risk management of the information system, there has been proposed a formalized procedure for managing the risks of the information system. The scientific novelty of this solution is the use of decision space and optimization space to reduce risks. This procedure allows to assess the damage, risk and effectiveness of risk management of the information system. The risks of the information system are determined and analyzed; a pyramidal risk diagram is developed. This diagram allows you to describe the relationship of risks with the components of the information system. The negative consequences to which these risks can lead are given. The analysis of methods and approaches to risk management has been carried out. Based on the results of the analysis, the methods GRAMM, CORAS, GOST R ISO / IEC scored to the maximum. The weak points of these methods and the difficulty of applying these methods in practice are described. The developed formalized risk management procedure to control the risks of information system can be used as management system’s element of the information security quality that complies with the recommendations of GOST R ISO / IEC 27003-2012. The prospect of further development of the research results is the development of management systems of risk of information system.

Legal Rationality

The relevance of the article, which consists of two parts, is that the various theories of rationality presented only in philosophical works are considered. Meanwhile, it should be noted that in recent decades in scientific works on jurisprudence there is a clear trend of borrowing such terms from philosophy as «classical», «non-classical» or «post-non-classical» science in the description of a concept of law. Nevertheless, in legal studies there is still no concept of rationality, the criteria for its classification, allowing to describe the diversity of manifestations of legal reality. The purpose of the study is: 1) to find new non-classical foundations for the development of legal knowledge; 2) to substantiate the point of view that the category of "scientific rationality" and its typology used in philosophy, it is necessary to introduce into scientific use of legal science, which will push the boundaries of knowledge of legal reality; 3) to describe the features of understanding of the term "scientific rationality" in law in the context of its classification into the following two groups: classical and neoclassical (post-classical), as well as non-classical and post-classical. In the process of studying the philosophy of rationality in legal studies used a diverse set of methodological tools: 1) General philosophical methods (dialectical and idealistic); 2) General scientific methods - analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, analogy, comparison; 3) and private (special) - logical, comparative-legal, formal-legal, normative-dogmatic; 4) method of interpretation, including the method of problem-theoretical reconstruction. The main results of achieving the goal of the study were proposals on: 1) introduction of the concept of "types and models of legal rationality" into the scientific circulation of jurisprudence; 2) classification of legal rationality into classical and non - classical types and corresponding models-neoclassical (post-classical) and post-non-classical. It should be noted that the post-classical and post-non-classical styles of legal thinking are evolved versions, respectively, of the classical and non-classical types of legal rationality. The basis for the classification of types of scientific rationality in legal science was the anthropological factor-consciousness homo juridicus and methodological tools with which legal consciousness is known. The novelty of the study is that the above classification of epistemological paradigms allows us to look at the law as a multilevel reality, which is simultaneously inherent in the two mechanisms of its Constitution - external and internal. Moreover, the presented criteria-based classification of legal rationality is the basis for the development of legal knowledge.

Abstract. In recent years, software packages for the management of biological data have rapidly been developing. However, currently, there is no general information system available for managing molecular data derived from both Sanger sequencing and microsatellite genotyping projects. A prerequisite to implementing such a system is to design a general data model which can be deployed to a wide range of labs without modification or customization. Thus, this paper aims to (1) suggest a uniform solution to efficiently store data items required in different labs, (2) describe procedures for representing data streams and data items (3) and construct a formalized data framework. As a result, the data framework has been used to develop an integrated information system for small labs conducting biodiversity studies.

This paper discusses the role that the ERP system has in the radical and continuous change of business processes. The radical change in business processes entails a radical modification, more precisely the termination of the existing method of doing business. Such a dramatic change is needed when the performance of the organization has decreased dramatically, and in order to gain a competitive advantage. However, due to frequent changes in the market and pressures to lower prices, better the quality, provide faster delivery, and the like, the once achieved competitiveness can be sustained long term only through continuous adjustments and improvements of business processes. What follows is the importance to constantly monitor and analyze the business processes in order to properly address the changes. Since there are a multitude of business processes within an organization that are connected to each other, and which intersect the functional and organizational boundaries, their monitoring is enabled only through the integrated information system such as ERP. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to examine what is the role of the mentioned system during the implementation of the changes in the business process. The paper concludes that the ERP system acts as an initiator of a radical redesign of business processes, but also as a facilitator of both a radical redesign and a continuous improvement of business processes. Given that any business change demands an adaptation of the information system, what follows is that it is necessary to change the business processes simultaneously with the introduction/modification of the ERP systems.

In order to understand and describe the internationalization behavior of companies, the first research carried out before the 1970s focused on large multinationals whose internationalization strategies were made possible by heavy investments. Other research on the internationalization of SMEs, conducted in the United States and Europe in the early 1980s, has given rise to behavioral models in stages where size is a barrier to internationalization. However, we find that very small businesses (TPE), newly created, inexperienced and with limited resources, internationalize and thwart the classic models of internationalization by scrambling the stages. Age, size and resources are no longer barriers to internationalization. This makes Cavusgil (1980) say that the gradual internationalization of companies has become obsolete. Veilleux and Ferro (2010) confirm that today, between 1 and 2% of new businesses are international when they are created and 76% have export prospects in the first two years. And the majority of research carried out since the 1990s deals with the precocity and rapidity of this internationalization from a point of view external to the company such as the saturation of local and / or national markets, the liberalization of international markets or the aid provided by governments, competitive pressure; and from an internal factors point of view such as the role of the manager and his various experiences, the support of his social networks, the use of new communication and production technologies, the characteristics of the product. However, there are very few works that address the internationalization of these VSEs through pedagogical learning in international entrepreneurship; learning mediated by the University, quickly enabling these companies to position themselves on an international market. The object of this research is precisely the questioning of the relevance of this learning; and this, through our participation in the training "International Entrepreneurship and Development of the Global Enterprise" initiated by the "College of Business" of the University of Indiana (ISU). It is a training program, offered by the ISU "College of Business", bringing together Universities from four other continents: Europe, America, Asia, Africa & l 'Oceania. A mixed group of teacher-researchers and researchers from these different universities benefited from this training program.

Tamantirto village, Kasihan, Bantul is an area which is positively responsive in terms of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. The citizens’ response is not only showed by implementing health protocol and entrances shutdown during the pandemic, but is also empowered by the consciousness of knowledge and experience transfer about pandemic for the next generation. Through the existing village’s information system, they offer a collaboration to lecturer of Indonesian Language and Letter Study Program of FIB UGM in order to conduct feature writing training about citizens’ point of view and experience during the pandemic. The training is held in two methods. The first is direct training method with power point elaborating the definition, type, example, and writing technique and feature editing. The second one is writing guidance using WA group where the participants can send their work to the group chat and then the trainer give feedback for the document. The training produce 21 feature documents which are averagely elaborate the participants’ profession regarding with the pandemic. Most of the documents are written with argumentative paragraph instead of narrating their experience during the pandemic like the common feature which is tend to be narrative. ===== Desa Tamantirto, Kasihan, Bantul merupakan wilayah yang tanggap dalam menghadapi pandemi Covid-19. Ketanggapan warga tidak hanya ditunjukkan melalui penerapan protokal kesehatan dan penutupan sejumlah pintu gang ketika masa pandemi, tetapi juga didukung pada kesadaran akan pentingnya pewarisan pengetahuan dan pengalaman seputar pandemi kepada generasi mendatang. Melalui Tim Sistem Informasi Desa yang mereka miliki, mereka mengajak kerja sama dengan dosen Prodi Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia FIB UGM untuk mengadakan kegiatan pelatihan penulisan feature seputar pandangan dan pengalaman warga selama pandemi. Pelatihan diselenggarakan dengan dua cara. Pertama, pelatihan secara langsung dengan media power point yang menguraikan definisi, jenis, contoh, dan teknik penulisan serta penyuntingan feature. Kedua, bimbingan penulisan melalui WA Grup ketika peserta mengirimkan karyanya ke grup WA dan narasumber memberikan masukan terhadap naskah tersebut. Pelatihan menghasilkan 21 naskah feature yang rata-rata menguraikan profesi para peserta dan mengaitkannya dengan pandemi. Sebagian besar naskah masih lebih banyak diisi dengan paragrat argumentatif dibandingkan menarasikan pengalaman selama pandemi sebagaimana layaknya feature yang cenderung naratif.
