In this trend, the rise of ESG risks has divided firms into two categories. Former incorporates a growthmindset that creates a passion for learning, and urges it to improve itself by endeavoring Research and development (R&D) -driven challenges, while the other category, characterized by risk aversion, avoids challenging highly uncertain R&D activities and seeks more manageable endeavors. This duality underscores the complexity of corporate R&D strategies in addressing ESG risks and necessitates the development of novel R&D capabilities for corporate R&D transformation strategies towards F + ESG optimization. Building on this premise, this paper conducts an empirical analysis, utilizing reliable firms data on ESG risk and brand value, with a focus on 100 global R&D leader firms. It analyzes R&D and actions for ESG risk mitigation, and assesses the development of new functions that fulfill F + ESG optimization through R&D. The analysis also highlights the significance of network externality effects, with a specific focus on Amazon, a leading R&D company, providing insights into the direction for transforming R&D strategies towards F + ESG optimization. The dynamics of stakeholder engagement in F + ESG optimization are indicated with the example of amazon's activities. Through the analysis, it became evident that Amazon's capacity encompassing growth and scalability, specifically its ability to grow and expand, is accelerating high-level research and development by gaining the trust of stakeholders in the \"synergy through R&D-driven ESG risk mitigation.\" Finally, as examples of these initiatives, the paper discussed the Climate Pledge led by Amazon and the transformation of Japan's management system.","PeriodicalId":335930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Managing Information Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139212008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A structural equation model was used to validate the research framework using survey data from 210 respondents. The collected data has been analyzed using Smart PLS software. The results of the study show that trust, self-motivation, and altruism are positively related to attitude. Contrary to our expectations, knowledge technology negatively affects attitude. However, reward systems and empowerment by leaders are significantly associated with knowledgesharing intentions.Knowledge-sharing intention, in turn, was significantly related to digital knowledgesharing behavior. The contributions of this study are twofold. The framework may serve as a roadmap for future researchers and managers considering their strategy to enhance digital knowledge sharing in HEI.

Purpose of this study was to discuss the efficient ways of acquisition and to resolve the dilemma of productivity decline by clarifying how the technology obtained through M&A leads to the creation of new innovations. Hypothesis 1 was that the technology acquired through M&A is utilized for innovation creation, Hypothesis 2 was that the acquired technology is utilized over a long period of time, and Hypothesis 3 was that a long-term utilization has a positive impact on corporate performance. The results, using sports prosthetics as a case study and using patents as a proxy variable, confirmed all the hypotheses set.

One area where AI is proving particularly impactful is in service operations management, where it is used to create AI-powered service operations (AIServiceOps) that deliver highvalue services to customers. AIServiceOps involve the use of AI to automate and optimize various business processes, such as customer service, sales, marketing, and supply chain management. The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence has prompted many changes in the field of Information Technology (IT) Service Operations. IT Service Operations are driven by AI, i.e., AIServiceOps. AI has empowered new vitality and addressed many challenges in IT Service Operations. However, there is a literature gap on the Business Value Impact of Artificial intelligence (AI) Powered IT Service Operations. It can help IT build optimized business resilience by creating value in complex and ever-changing environments as product organizations move faster than IT can handle. So, this research paper examines how AIServiceOps creates business value and sustainability, basically how AIServiceOps makes the IT staff liberation from a low-level, repetitive workout and traditional IT practices for a continuously optimized process. One of the research objectives is to compare Traditional IT Service Operations with AIServiceOPs. This paper provides the basis for how enterprises can evaluate AIServiceOps and consider it a digital transformation tool. The paper presents a case study of a company that implemented AI-powered service operations (AIServiceOps) and analyzes the resulting business outcomes. The study shows that AIServiceOps can significantly improve service delivery, reduce response times, and increase customer satisfaction. Furthermore, it demonstrates how AIServiceOps can deliver substantial cost savings, such as reducing labor costs and minimizing downtime.","PeriodicalId":335930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Managing Information Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129400832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The institutional logic concept was used to identify the major actors’ logics underpinning the DHIS2 adoption.

Operators in the control rooms need to monitor and analyze these alarms to take suitable actions to ensure the system’s stability and security. Security is the biggest concern in the modern world. It is important to have a rigid surveillance that should guarantee protection from any sought of hazard. Considering security, Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras are being utilized for reconnaissance, but these CCTV cameras require a person for supervision. As a human being, there can be a possibility to be tired off in supervision at any point of time. So, we need a system to detect automatically. Thus, we came up with a solution using YOLO V5. We have taken a data set and used robo-flow framework to enhance the existing images into numerous variations where it will create a copy of grey scale image, a copy of its rotation and a copy of its blurred version which will be used to get an enlarged data set. This work mainly focuses on providing a secure environment using CCTV live footage as a source to detect the weapons. Using YOLO algorithm, it divides an image from the video into grid system and each grid detects an object within itself.","PeriodicalId":335930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Managing Information Technology","volume":"389 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123513638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
