Self-reported use of ICT (Information and communication technology) uptake in 2002 and discomfort amongst Finns aged 45-66

In recent years the use of new technical equipment and the Internet by middle-aged people has increased. This paper presents middle-aged people’s (45 years old or older) usage of new technical equipment and analyses how their (2704 persons) symptoms are associated with the equipment. Over 70% of Finland’s middle-aged population use mobile phones daily and less than 30% use desktop computers at leisure. For example, over 80% of middle-aged people had sometimes or often experienced pain, numbness or aches in the neck and about 70% had aches in the hip and lower back. The use of new technical equipment among the group of people who are outside working life was smaller than the people’s usage in general. In the future, when new technical equipment is developed, it is important to take into account, that people (outside working life) do not use, e.g., the Internet as much as people in general. The working environment will be much more ergonomic also at home and the Internet services will be easy to use for almost everyone, even those who have little experience or knowledge of computers and the Internet.     

Using an online tool to support school‐based ICT policy planning in primary education

An important step towards the successful integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in schools is to facilitate their capacity to develop a school‐based ICT policy resulting in an ICT policy plan. Such a plan can be defined as a school document containing strategic and operational elements concerning the integration of ICT in education. To write such a plan in an efficient way is challenging for schools. Therefore, an online tool [Planning for ICT in Schools (pICTos)] has been developed to guide schools in this process. A multiple case study research project was conducted with three Flemish primary schools to explore the process of developing a school‐based ICT policy plan and the supportive role of pICTos within this process. Data from multiple sources (i.e. interviews with school leaders and ICT coordinators, school policy documents analysis and a teacher questionnaire) were collected and analysed. The results indicate that schools shape their ICT policy based on specific school data collected and presented by the pICTos environment. School teams learned about the actual and future place of ICT in teaching and learning. Consequently, different policy decisions were made according to each school's vision on ‘good’ education and ICT integration.     

Coping with information overload in email communication: Evaluation of a training intervention

The present paper introduces three facets of information overload in email communication: A large amount of incoming information, inefficient workflow, and deficient communication quality. In order to cope with these facets of information overload, a training intervention was developed and evaluated. Data were collected from 90 employees on several evaluation levels within a longitudinal evaluation design (one pretest double posttest design). The results reveal that the training contributed to an increase in knowledge and media competencies. We also found evidence for a transfer of training contents to the workplace. Finally, strain diminished on several dimensions. In particular, problems with media usage and work impairment decline significantly, an effect that was stronger for those participants who face a large amount of email at their workplaces.     

Strategy, networks and systems in the global translation services market

The globalisation of markets has led to an increased demand for language translation services that support and enable communication between economic partners. For example, technical documents, software systems, business documents and web sites all need to be translated into multiple languages for individual national markets, and the information that they contain changes periodically. This paper sets out a theoretical framework that describes the architectures of business processes within and between separate firms that are used to support the delivery and management of services. This is done by coordinating the fit between externally generated problem complexity, from customers, and the internally generated complexity of different potential network configuration solutions. The theoretical framework is an architecture of how complexity is generated and managed at the different structural levels and across the different processual stages of an industry. A case study of thebigword, a major international translation services company, illustrates how the framework is applied in practice. The case study analyses the implementation of an electronic market platform which enables the coordination of the different stakeholders involved in the translation services market. These stakeholders include translators, translation services companies and their clients in a global business network.     

Does stock repurchase declaration affect stock price? Differences between the electrics industry and other industries

This study is to discuss the impact of stock repurchase declaration and purpose of repurchase on the stock price in the backdrop of listed companies on Taiwan’s stock market. Event Study Method is employed to discuss stock price fluctuations while GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity) is applied to estimate the Market Model regressive coefficients. The samples consisted of companies declaring first stock repurchase are selected from August 9, 2000 to December 31, 2005 with a precondition that all the companies shall be listed ones 150 days prior to declaration. The study results reveal that companies from other industries have considerably bigger average CAR than companies of the electrics industry before and after the declaration of stock repurchase. Companies with application purpose of “maintain stockholders’ equities and corporate credit” have considerably bigger average CAR than companies with application purpose of “transferring stocks to employees”. In industries other than electrics, companies with application purpose of “maintain stockholders’ equities and corporate credit” have bigger accumulated abnormal return response than companies with application purpose of “transferring stocks to employees”. In case of “maintain stockholders’ equities and corporate credit” as the application purpose of stock repurchase, companies from industries other than electrics have relatively higher average CAR response. The empirical study results can serve as a reference for the listed company management and to related academic studies.
