Communication Processes

The concept of smart cities addresses how information technology can improve a city’s processes and suggests greater participation among the population in these processes. The purpose of this article was to use this concept as a support to rethink the communication processes of municipal councils, seeking ways to improve them through the use of information technologies, which would allow improving the structure for the dissemination of actions taken by the councils and increasing social control over public policy planning and implementation. For this, the communication processes of the municipal councils of a small city were analyzed. These processes were then evaluated and discussed in light of the concept of smart cities. As a result, it was found that the communication processes analyzed are flawed and need improvement, especially regarding their scope, which should include the possibility of manifestation by society. Initiatives related to the concept of smart cities that could solve the identified problems are also discussed. Based on the collected data, the requirements and functionalities for the development of a technology-based communication tool that could enable faster and more effective communication between the counselors, between the councils and society and between the councils and their government departments are suggested. Finally, it is suggested that future research assesses within the population the reasons why social participation in municipal councils is low.

Influential Variable

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the technological adoption by state governments, based on a longitudinal study of technology in Mexico for which the authors analyzed data from all the local governments from 2010 to 2018. With this data, they proposed a ranking to classify adoption technology, using the diffusion of the innovation theory. They included in the analysis other variables such as the percentage of households with a computer, internet, and other communication technology equipment. The results show that Mexico City is the innovator; Baja California, Sonora, and Nuevo Leon are early adopters, while Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Guerrero are laggards. The most influential variable in the adoption of information technologies is illiteracy, and there is an inverse relationship between technology and illiteracy. Future research will open several paths to understand different adoption behaviors between specific technologies in each state, such as big data, artificial intelligence, internet of things, and smart cities.

The concept of smart cities has recently emerged to highlight the significance of innovation and information technologies in urban planning. In this chapter, after a discussion of different conceptions and important dimensions of smart cities, a wealth of information technologies that have been used in cities for a variety of services is presented. The authors advocate that smart urban solutions should be designed within a smart cities vision and strategic plan, defined by people's needs. They propose an integrated strategic policy making model for smart, sustainable and inclusive cities and they make recommendations for policies and education for smart cities. The special character of public and private spaces, the significance of everyday life, the pivotal role of open governance and meaningful citizen participation, as well as the balance between the desired surveillance for efficient resource management and freedom and creativity have been highlighted as challenges that should inform the design of smart urban solutions and future research on smart cities.

Over Time

It has been argued that simple conceptualizations of usage are inadequate for understanding and studying use of complex information technologies. In this paper we contend that quality of use, instead of the dichotomy of use versus non-use, is appropriate for understanding the extent to which a complex information technology is being used. An inductive case study of the implementation of a complex information technology was conducted, which led to the development of a learning-based model of quality of use. This model suggests the inclusion of factors relating to training (either formal or informal), learning, and beliefs, their impact on quality of use, and their change over time. Moreover, it describes how quality of use evolves over time as learning increases and perceptions of the system change. Evidence from the case study, along with relationships from the literature, is provided to support the model. Implications for future research are also discussed.

This chapter explores novel ways of improving flexibility, responsiveness, and competitiveness via strategic information technology (IT) alliances among channel members in a supply chain network. To gain competitiveness, firms have to constantly update their operational strategies and information technologies through collaborative efforts of a “network” of supply chain members rather than the efforts of an individual firm. In sum, the foci of this chapter are: (1) an overview of supply chain management (SCM) issues and problems, (2) supply chain coordination and integration, (3) the latest IT applications for improved supply chain performance and coordination, and (4) strategic IT alliances. This chapter concludes with a discussion of business implications and recommendations of future research.

Conceptual Tool

While information technology has been recognized as critically important for supporting global business strategy, the contingent relationships between salient dimensions of an information technology and key sources of competitive advantage have not been systematically explicated and discussed in the literature. Instead, a universal view of the role of information technology in developing competitive advantage for a firm is often adopted. Taking a contingency perspective, this paper more systematically examines the links among global business strategies, global information technologies (GIT) and competitive advantage within an integrative framework. Additionally, the issue of sustainability of GIT-based competitive advantages is addressed using the conceptual tool kits of the I/O (industrial organization)-based and resource-based theories of strategic management. The proposed conceptual model provides an encompassing framework for future research on the increasingly important topic of global information technology and its potential to generate competitive advantage for firms.

Tourism and information technology are two things that are currently interrelated. The use of information technology in the tourism sector is very influential in its current development. One of the information technologies approaches used is the information system regarding tourist destinations in Indonesia. The use of the information system is used to make it easy for media users to access information about tourist destinations. All kinds of information conveyed from destinations, routes, attractions, facilities, and others are combined into one information system. In this paper, we present an information system landscape of indonesia tourism destination. We review information system usage for tourism destination. We show that the use of the information system for tourist location destinations can continue to be developed to get the trust of its users, starting from the facilities in the system, to the benefits of its use such as ease of search, ordering or reservation, and others. Finally, we present open problems for future research recommendations.
