E-business technologies present unique opportunities and challenges for businesses, and Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are no exception. However, there is a rich body of the e-business literature concentrates on adoption concerns from SMEs buyers’ viewpoint, little research has so far been reported from the viewpoint of SME suppliers. Participation of SME suppliers needs to be ensured in order to use the full potential of e-business technologies. This study was thus initiated to identify the experienced and expected benefits and barriers to adoption of ebusiness technologies from the viewpoint of group SME suppliers. In general, the findings designate that the SME suppliers have experienced numerous impediments that they need to overcome for the successful implementation of e-business technologies. The suppliers also have a broader view of e-business benefits than just cost saving.

In the current financial crisis and being challenged by growing needs, universities are facing problems in providing necessary information technology (IT) support for educational, research and development activities. The objective of this paper is to find alternatives to the use of IT, while leading universities to improve agility and obtain savings. The research methodology consisted in a rigorous analysis of the latest research on Cloud Computing as an alternative to IT provision, management and security. It also took into account the best practices for Cloud Computing usage within universities, plus the authors’ experience in IT and higher education. The article begins with a brief introduction to Cloud Computing in universities, referring to the most important results obtained so far. Further, a starting point for universities to use Cloud Computing is provided, by proposing an adoption strategy. The strategy includes five stages, with emphasis on the evaluation of data and processes/functions/applications from several major universities based on some key criteria, while creating a correspondence between these aspects and the models/services/applications that exist on the Cloud market. The results obtained are encouraging and support the use of Cloud solutions in universities by improving knowledge in this field and providing a practical guide adaptable to the university’s structure. In order to be applicable in practice, the proposed model takes into account the university’s architecture and criteria such as mission, availability and importance of applications and also the data’s mission, sensitivity, confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Although it is generally accepted that only organizations with a commitment to knowledge sharing and organizational excellence will remain competitive, there are an alarmingly low number of public organizations that have been identified as having the basics of excellence in the fourth cycle (2008/2009) of King Abdullah II Award for Excellence in Government Performance and Transparency in Jordan. It is then the aim to perform a study that seeks to investigate the relationship between codification and personalization knowledge sharing strategies on three main pillars of organizational excellence which were adapted by the award. These pillars include: customer focus, results orientation and transparency. Survey method employing a questionnaire as a technique for collecting data was used. The survey involves four selected government organizations who won the award in the fourth cycle (2008/2009) and are familiar with the topic of this study. 500 questionnaires were distributed using the simple random sampling technique yielding to 191 usable responses. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 15. To ensure the validity and reliability of the instrument, factor analysis and reliability test were performed. Analysis revealed that there are positive and significant relationships between codification and personalization knowledge sharing strategies and each of the organizational excellence pillars. The results of multiple regression analyses indicated that codification knowledge sharing strategies is a more significant predictor of each organizational pillar than personalization knowledge sharing strategies. The results of this study could encourage public organizations in adopting knowledge sharing strategies to enhance their organizational excellence.
虽然人们普遍认为，只有致力于知识共享和组织卓越的组织才能保持竞争力，但在约旦阿卜杜拉二世国王政府绩效和透明度卓越奖的第四个周期(2008/2009)中，被确定具有卓越基础的公共组织数量少得惊人。然后，目的是进行一项研究，旨在调查组织卓越的三个主要支柱上的法典化和个性化知识共享策略之间的关系，这些策略被该奖项所采用。这些支柱包括:以客户为中心、以结果为导向和透明度。采用问卷调查法作为收集数据的技术。本次调查选取了四家在第四周期(2008/2009)获得该奖项并熟悉本研究主题的政府机构。采用简单随机抽样的方法发放了500份问卷，得到了191份可用答复。收集的数据使用SPSS version 15进行分析。为保证仪器的效度和信度，进行了因子分析和信度检验。分析发现，知识共享策略的法典化和个性化与组织卓越支柱之间存在显著的正相关关系。多元回归分析结果表明，法典化知识共享策略比个性化知识共享策略对各组织支柱的预测作用更显著。本研究结果可鼓励公共组织采用知识共享策略提升组织卓越性。

The academic field of individual performance is concerned with a large range of multifaceted questions regarding the prediction of individual performance, the assessment issue, or the enhancement and the keeping of a performance value. Current debates have emerged in call centers context. Based on structuration theory, this paper tries to understand the process that leads to individual performance. A case study based on half structured interviews is made at “Teleperformance”. Results show that there are three kinds of determinants: (1) agent features, (2) technological structures and (3) non technological structures shape performance. The relationship between agent features and structures is assumed to be recursive.

The goals of most of the organisations are achieving their sustainable competitive advantage (CA) challenges. One of the organizational initiatives is to invest appropriate information infrastructures. However, organisations may face difficulties to select effective information infrastructures in their respective situations to achieve CA from elusive information. This paper is to connect the Information infrastructure capability (IIC) to CA with empirical justification. Hence, IICs are categorised into dynamic capability (D), integrating capability (I), data management capability (DM), security capability (S), utility capability (U) and collaborating capability (C) from past studies. This paper then empirically test the model using a set of survey data collected from 295 MSC Malaysia companies with the aim to analyse IICs in a holistic way. Four capabilities emerge from the factor analysis as IICs: D, I, DM and U. These results show there is an empirical link between IICs which comprises D, I, DM and U with CA. Finally, a clear full chain of variables model connecting IIC to organisational CA is obtained to fill the research lacuna.

Many organizations today have adopted business intelligence (BI) as a catalyst to meet specific business needs and to improve organizational effectiveness. Although BI has become more robust and pervasive, some organizations are still unable to maximize the return on their BI investments. One contributing reason is the lack of a good guiding BI architecture to support the implementation of such a system. Having a solid architecture can help organizations to better control the implementation process as well as the operation of the entire BI environment. A review of the existing literature shows that although the importance of a good BI architecture is non-arguable, research in this area is still lacking. To fill the gap, this paper proposes a framework of BI architecture which consists of five layers: data source, ETL, data warehouse, end user

E-business systems are known for their frequent changes in business requirements, and traditional software development engineering approaches have difficulties in keeping up with this dynamicity. The use of service oriented architecture in software development has become popular as it provides a solution to frequent changes to business environments in a heterogeneous network. In service oriented architecture, new systems are quickly developed by combining services developed and owned by different organizations, and one way of realising this architecture is via Web services. Although much research effort has been put into the discovery, invocation and composition of services testing Web services has only begun to attract interest from both researchers and industry players. This paper aims to provide a mapping study of current Web services composition testing researches conducted by other researchers. Research papers on testing of Web services composition were gathered from various scholarly databases using provided search engines within a given period of time. The research papers were then classified according to issues addressed by them. The aim is to get a broad overview of the current state of research in Web services composition testing. By looking at the areas focused by existing researchers, gaps and untouched areas of Web services composition testing can be discovered.

Open source has emerged as a widely accepted software development phenomenon which has tremendously brought about a significant paradigm shift from traditional software development methodologies such as top down design and stepwise refinement to an unconventional software development approach by means of collaborative software development method among a wide geographically dispersed interested developers and committed project participants while paying less attention to immediate “physical gains”. The open source approach focuses on highly diverse views of developer motivations; ranging from ego gratification, ideological satisfaction and gift culture for individual developers and open source motivations may be viewed from spreading the software development risks and associated maintenance costs at corporate organisational level. In this article, a five layered open onion model of open source was broadly examined. Analysis and evaluation were narrowed down to only the initiation layer of the open onion model. Results show that open source success largely depends on the quality associated with successful initiation of the project. Our findings also reveal that the most popular open source license is GPL and that license type has significant impact on project rank. The domain audience has negative impact on project rank and user interface has significantly negative impact on project’s domain audience. Open source project topics covered have a significant impact on the domain audience and a negative effect on the user interface. This research has also presented a conceptual framework of open source success tree.

Evaluations of tools (information retrieval systems, machine learning, speech recognition, machine translation, automatic acquisition of data, etc.) are annually organized throughout evaluation campaigns (TREC, ELRA, ESTER IWSLT, etc.). The building of an ad hoc evaluation corpus in the context of these evaluation campaigns is a complex task and it is done manually today and with a high cost. Indeed, this is a very dedicated corpus that would answer to an application need in a precise context but automating its building is a challenge that will help significantly the organization of these campaigns. As a contribution to this challenge, we propose in a context of multimedia information retrieval, an approach of multilevel extension of a small applicative corpus to a larger and voluminous corpus based on the detection of intersections between the two corpus in terms of lemmas having the same grammatical label, that means to get a list of appropriate terminology for which we use several tools (internal and external to our laboratory) and we try to evaluate them in order to keep consistency and coherence with the original corpus..
