North Korea's vicelike grip on the flow of information into and out of its secretive society is weakening, thanks to technology, the porous border with China and the North's crumbling economy, defectors and activists say. While North Koreans celebrated the birthday of their "Dear Leader" in Pyongyang on Wednesday, a group of activists and defectors showed reporters how outside influences and inside sources are circumventing the totalitarian state's media. The event was sponsored by Paris-based press freedom foundation Reporters Without Borders.
The Arab countries are greatly behind in terms of their levels of Internet usage. The Arab countries are under pressures to adopt and promote digital transformation. Data in Arab countries are hard to get, resulting in paucity of understanding the factors that affect the use of Internet in Arab countries. This paper combines research from academic and major international organizational literature to examine and synthesize the current use of Internet in Arab Countries. The obstacles and the factors that affect the use and growth of Internet are language, government policies, culture, cost and technology. They are discussed with their impacts.

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) systems provide real-time access to key business performance indicators (KPI's). Access to real-time KPI's is said to improve the speed and effectiveness of business operations through the provision of low-latency measures of enterprise performance. Discovery-Oriented BAM is introduced as a BAM system that combines historical contextual data from Business Intelligence (BI) to improve real-time event monitoring and KPI provisioning, in critical business operations. This paper explores the issues and challenges associated with Discovery-Oriented BAM systems implementation, as well as suggestions for future research directions.

Employees use computer resources at work for personal activities and the implementation of countermeasures has not reduced this behavior. In this study we investigate the extent to which an employee's ethical orientation and supervisory role have an impact on their perceptions regarding these behaviors. We find that employees assess acceptability using a utilitarian orientation. The more money and time involved in an activity, the more employees perceive them to be unacceptable. We also find that supervisors view these activities as less acceptable than do non-supervisor employees. Demographics have little to do with explaining perceptions. Research and managerial implications are discussed.

Knowledge management is a key ingredient of value creation in the new economy where knowledge intensity increases with the rising complexity of business processes. Enterprise modeling has been used in the development of an integrated framework for an enterprise that links business processes to technical architectures via the construct of conceptual models. Traditional enterprise models concern the operational and analytical aspects of an enterprise that manage the physical assets of an enterprise. Enterprise knowledge management concerns the creation, sharing, representation, storage and utilization of knowledge across an enterprise, which manage the knowledge assets of an enterprise. Prior research on enterprise integration focuses on the linkage between knowledge management and partic...

Based on considerable anecdotal evidence, there is a growing belief that proprietary knowledge management systems (KMS) can significantly improve a firm's financial and operational performance. To date, however, there have been no scientifically based studies which empirically test the validity of such claims. In this paper, we report the results of a three year longitudinal study of 103 proprietary KMS adopting and corresponding non adopting firms. Using regression techniques, several different financial and operational measures are compared to determine whether KMS adoption provides a statistically significant incremental benefit or not. A secondary analysis of the same firms, conducted using the DuPont Analysis, is performed. In both instances the results generally support the conten...

Usability on Web sites is critical because almost no training is provided for users on commercial sites. Instead, Web design relies on standards and consistency across sites. Traditional usability results indicated that computer forms should follow paper-based forms. Yet, Web paradigms have evolved that are quite different from paper-based forms. Specifically, this study reveals that users commit fewer errors and prefer simple forms limited to a single concept per screen. This conclusion significantly alters the recommendations for designing business forms.
