India is witnessing a dual transformation marked by technological advancements and a surge in entrepreneurial activity following the launch of various e-governance schemes and the Startup India program. However, the high failure rate among startups remains a significant concern, often attributed to inadequate marketing efforts due to financial constraints. To address this issue, enhancing digital marketing initiatives under Startup India could offer cost-effective solutions with higher returns on ad spend (ROAS). This research, grounded in the Behavioral Reasoning Theory (BRT), utilized cross-sectional data analyzed through Partial Least Square-Structured Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS software. The study revealed that beliefs, values, reasons for and against adoption, and attitudes influence startups' adoption of digital marketing. The findings of this study aim to provide practical insights for Startup India programs, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to understand better the motivators and barriers to adopting digital marketing technologies.
随着各种电子政务计划和印度初创企业计划的推出,印度正在经历以技术进步和创业活动激增为标志的双重转型。然而,初创企业的高失败率仍然是一个令人严重关切的问题,其原因往往是由于资金限制导致营销力度不足。为解决这一问题,加强印度初创企业计划下的数字营销措施可提供具有成本效益的解决方案,并获得更高的广告支出回报率(ROAS)。本研究以行为推理理论(BRT)为基础,利用 SmartPLS 软件通过部分最小平方结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对横截面数据进行分析。研究显示,信念、价值观、采用和反对采用的原因以及态度会影响初创企业对数字营销的采用。本研究的结果旨在为印度初创企业项目、企业家和政策制定者提供实用的见解,以更好地了解采用数字营销技术的动机和障碍。

Studies showcase various aspects of innovation strategies, knowledge sharing, and the role of family firms. Despite this, the authors note the lack of a comprehensive review of technological innovation in entrepreneurship research. This study provides an overview of the relationship between entrepreneurship and technological innovation by conducting a systematic literature review spanning four decades, from 1979 to 2020. It aims to answer three research questions related to the theories and methodologies used, the examined themes, and the implications for researchers while emphasizing the role of electronics governance. Furthermore, the study identifies several key themes in literature, including social capital and entrepreneurship, economic growth and entrepreneurial economy, policy intervention, knowledge economy, and tech venture development. These themes reflect the multifaceted nature of the relationship and offer valuable insights for future research.
研究展示了创新战略、知识共享和家族企业作用的各个方面。尽管如此,作者指出创业研究中缺乏对技术创新的全面回顾。本研究通过对 1979 年至 2020 年四十年间的文献进行系统回顾,概述了创业与技术创新之间的关系。本研究旨在回答三个研究问题,分别涉及所使用的理论和方法、所研究的主题以及对研究人员的影响,同时强调电子治理的作用。此外,研究还确定了文献中的几个关键主题,包括社会资本与创业、经济增长与创业经济、政策干预、知识经济和科技风险投资发展。这些主题反映了这种关系的多面性,并为今后的研究提供了宝贵的见解。

This study utilizes the CGSS2021 dataset to explore institutionalized political engagement among Chinese women. Key findings include positive correlations with social circle involvement, housing area, and traditional media consumption. Interestingly, younger women are less politically engaged. Cross-tabulation reveals that daily social interactions and disagreement with prioritizing marriage over career boost institutionalized political involvement, particularly in Beijing. By contrast, women from Inner Mongolia show the least engagement. Surprisingly, frequent internet usage has limited influence on political participation, whereas traditional media use boosts it. Women in their first marriage also show higher engagement. The study offers policy recommendations to enhance Chinese women's political participation.
本研究利用CGSS2021数据集探讨中国女性的制度化政治参与。主要发现包括与社交圈参与、住房面积和传统媒体消费呈正相关。有趣的是,年轻女性较少参与政治。交叉表显示,日常的社会互动和对婚姻优先于职业的分歧促进了制度化的政治参与,特别是在北京。相比之下,内蒙古女性的参与度最低。令人惊讶的是,频繁使用互联网对政治参与的影响有限,而传统媒体的使用却能促进政治参与。第一次婚姻的女性也表现出更高的参与度。该研究为提高中国妇女的政治参与提供了政策建议。

The study used a case study technique to investigate why the implementation of e-governance and ICT in government service provisioning has not resulted in a commensurate improvement in service delivery in Cross River State, Nigeria. It specifically investigates the effect of in-service training on civil servants' digital literacy, the consequent impact of e-governance implementation, and service delivery. The study finds that there was inadequate in-service training, which was partly caused by the cognitive disposition of civil servants who did not fully cooperate with the implementation of the e-governance reform. The study aligns with existing theories of institutional and organisational change which requires that organisational change requires realignment of beliefs and behavioral norms of organization members. The study recommends that the implementation of e-governance can only yield better results in effective service delivery if the civil servants are made to accept the reform and their digital literacy levels are significantly enhanced through appropriate in-service training.
该研究使用案例研究技术调查了为什么尼日利亚克罗斯河州在政府服务提供中实施电子政务和信息通信技术并没有导致服务提供的相应改善。它特别调查了在职培训对公务员数字素养的影响,电子政务实施的后续影响,以及服务提供。研究发现,公务员在职培训不足,部分原因是公务员的认知倾向没有充分配合电子政务改革的实施。该研究与现有的制度和组织变革理论一致,这些理论要求组织变革需要组织成员的信念和行为规范的重新调整。研究建议,只有让公务员接受电子政务改革,并透过适当的在职培训,大幅提高他们的数码识读水平,电子政务才能在有效提供服务方面取得更好的成效。

S. Shivani, Vijayaraghavan M. Chariar, S. Shukla, Kumod Kumar, R. Kumar
The field of sanitation has been extensively discussed in the literature from varied viewpoints. However, a comprehensive approach summarising the entrepreneurial facets of the sanitation industry is still fragmented. This study examines 375 papers published over 25 years. It attempts to identify significant studies and concepts that researchers have developed across time. A review of the literature on sanitation and its entrepreneurial ecosystem has been undertaken in the study. It incorporates bibliometric as well as content analysis. The bibliometric approach focuses on the quantitative aspects of the study, while content analysis looks at the literature qualitatively. Data analysis has been performed using the Scopus database. Further, VOSviewer software has been used to create various network maps. The highest number of papers were published in 2021, signifying growing research interest in the domain. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment is the journal of highest influence, and the most cited paper is about “Marketing to the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) Market.”

This article presents an empirical study of influence of the domain-specific factors of trust in the electoral system and administration, trust in technology, citizens' attitudes toward voting, and COVID-19 conditions on the intention to use i-voting. The study examines and assesses the relationships and effects of the various factors that influence the intention to use i-voting. Survey data from 633 adult Slovenian citizens were collected in 2022, when voters were still burdened by the pandemic and needed to visit the polling place at least five times to participate in all scheduled voting. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and develop the model. The study provides important findings, such as (1) trust in the voting system has a significant impact on voters' intention to use i-voting, (2) fear of COVID-19 does not persuade people to use i-voting, and (3) previous attitudes toward voting do not have a significant impact on voter intention to use i-voting.
本文实证研究了对选举制度和管理的信任、对技术的信任、公民对投票的态度和COVID-19条件对使用i-voting意愿的特定领域因素的影响。本研究检视并评估影响使用i-voting意愿的各种因素之间的关系与效果。从633名斯洛文尼亚成年公民中收集的调查数据是在2022年收集的,当时选民仍然受到疫情的影响,需要至少五次前往投票站参加所有预定的投票。采用结构方程模型对数据进行分析,建立模型。研究提供了重要的发现,如(1)对投票系统的信任对选民使用i-voting的意愿有显著影响,(2)对COVID-19的恐惧不会说服人们使用i-voting,(3)以前对投票的态度对选民使用i-voting的意愿没有显著影响。

There are several studies that assess the influence of factors on citizens' intention to adopt e-government services in various contexts. However, there is a lack of research that examines the perceived barriers to B2G e-commerce adoption and develops an understanding of cause and effect group variables among them. This research is the first of its kind to extensively review the relevant literature in e-commerce adoption and assess the selected key factors which are equally relevant in the B2G e-commerce adoption. The authors apply a unique multi-criteria decision-making technique called DEMATEL to understand the nature of the barriers and collect data from eight experts having experience in B2G procurement in the public sector and government organizations. The data findings revealed that out of nine selected variables, five (i.e., lack of IT infrastructure [B1], lack of expertise and technical skills [B2], high cost of technology [B3], perceived information security risk [B5], and lack of awareness of government issues and legal policies [B6]) belonged to the ‘cause group' whereas the remaining four (i.e., organisational resistance to change [B4], lack of top management support [B7], low perceived operational benefits [B8], and unwillingness to adopt B2G e-commerce services [B9]) were found to be part of ‘effect group'. The theoretical and practical implications of the current study may enhance the understanding of B2G e-commerce adoption.
有几项研究评估了不同背景下影响公民采用电子政务服务意愿的因素。然而,缺乏研究来检查B2G电子商务采用的感知障碍,并对其中的因果组变量进行理解。本研究首次广泛回顾了电子商务采用的相关文献,并评估了在B2G电子商务采用中同样相关的选定关键因素。作者采用了一种称为DEMATEL的独特的多标准决策技术来了解障碍的性质,并从8位在公共部门和政府组织中具有B2G采购经验的专家那里收集数据。数据发现显示,在九个选择的变量中,五个(即缺乏IT基础设施[B1],缺乏专业知识和技术技能[B2],技术成本高[B3],感知信息安全风险[B5],以及缺乏对政府问题和法律政策的认识[B6])属于“原因组”,而其余四个(即组织抗拒变革[B4],缺乏高层管理支持[B7],感知运营效益低[B8],和不愿意采用B2G电子商务服务[B9])被发现属于“效果组”。本研究的理论和实践意义可以增进对B2G电子商务采用的理解。

Understanding the Extent of Automation and Process Transparency Appropriate for Public Services 了解适合公共服务的自动化程度和流程透明度
IF 1.2 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-05-05 DOI: 10.4018/ijegr.322550
Yi Long, José Ramón Gil-García
Many countries are exploring the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their operations and services, and China is no exception. However, not all AI techniques or automation approaches are suitable for every government service or process since transparency and accountability are paramount in the public sector. In this context, automation via expert systems (ES) is still a vital complement or even an alternative to AI techniques, because they can be more easily audited for potential biases. This paper analyzes the smart examination and approval (SEA) process use in China and explores how different forms of automation could be better options for certain services or specific processes within services, considering their level of transparency as an important characteristic. Based on these results, the authors argue that governments could consider hybrid approaches combining, for example, machine learning, for verification processes, and ES, which are more easily auditable, to make final decisions on individual cases. They also propose a classification of services by considering the extent of automation and process transparency needed. The classification considers a hybrid approach such as SEA, but also include other alternatives such as the exclusive use of AI techniques, as well as traditional online delivery and face-to-face procedures.
许多国家正在探索人工智能(AI)的潜力,以改善其运营和服务,中国也不例外。然而,并非所有人工智能技术或自动化方法都适用于每一项政府服务或流程,因为透明度和问责制在公共部门至关重要。在这种情况下,通过专家系统(ES)实现自动化仍然是人工智能技术的重要补充,甚至是替代方案,因为它们可以更容易地审计潜在的偏见。本文分析了智能审批(SEA)流程在中国的使用情况,并探讨了不同形式的自动化如何成为某些服务或服务中的特定流程的更好选择,考虑到它们的透明度水平是一个重要特征。基于这些结果,作者认为,政府可以考虑混合方法,例如将机器学习与更容易审计的ES结合起来,对个别案例做出最终决定。他们还建议通过考虑所需的自动化程度和流程透明度对服务进行分类。该分类考虑了SEA等混合方法,但也包括其他替代方法,如独家使用人工智能技术,以及传统的在线交付和面对面程序。

Accountability for Digital Dreamers 数字梦想家的责任
IF 1.2 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-05-05 DOI: 10.4018/ijegr.322434
Joakim Engström, Katarina Gidlund
To contribute to digitalization and accountability research, this study adopted a pattern arising from failure due to weak accountability that was initially identified in Great Britain. This was done to investigate if the pattern reappeared in digitalization initiatives at the Swedish municipal level. Attempting to answer this, the present study structured a survey sent to every municipality in Sweden, resulting in a response rate of 40.4%. It was not possible to statistically claim that the pattern repeated itself in the chosen context, making this study's main contribution to stress that there might be a pattern as an effect due to weak accountability, without any knowledge of how this pattern presents itself.
为了促进数字化和问责制研究,本研究采用了一种最初在英国发现的因问责制薄弱而导致失败的模式。这样做是为了调查这种模式是否在瑞典市级的数字化计划中再次出现。为了回答这个问题,本研究组织了一项调查,发送到瑞典的每个城市,结果回复率为40.4%。从统计数据上说,这种模式在选定的环境中是不可能重复的,这使得这项研究的主要贡献是强调,在不知道这种模式如何表现的情况下,由于问责不力,可能存在一种模式作为一种效应。

Jordanian government has made a commendable effort towards designing and disseminating e-government portals on the web. However, there are certain barriers that have caused a significant deterioration in the e-government development index (EGDI) rank for Jordan in the last few years. The paper aims to understand the influence of the factors relating to e-government adoption to improve upon the trailing factors and move further on the EGDI. This study proposes a research model considering constructs such as relative advantage, perceived trust, computer self-efficacy, perceived awareness, resistance to change on behavioral intention. The data were collected through questionnaire survey. The data were analysed using structural equation modeling (SEM) of AMOS 25.0. The results of the analysis showed that relative advantage, perceived trust, computer self-efficacy and perceived awareness have a positive and significant influence on behavioral intentions whereas resistance to change found to negatively influence the citizens' behavioral intentions to adopt the e-government services.
约旦政府在设计和传播电子政务门户网站方面做出了值得称赞的努力。然而,在过去几年中,某些障碍导致约旦的电子政务发展指数(EGDI)排名显著恶化。本文旨在了解电子政务采用相关因素的影响,以改善尾随因素,进一步推动电子政务发展。本研究提出了一个考虑相对优势、感知信任、计算机自我效能、感知意识、抗拒改变行为意向等构念的研究模型。数据采用问卷调查的方式收集。采用AMOS 25.0的结构方程模型(SEM)对数据进行分析。分析结果表明,相对优势、感知信任、计算机自我效能感和感知意识对电子政务服务的行为意愿有显著的正向影响,而抗拒改变对电子政务服务的行为意愿有显著的负向影响。
