Moreover, they should collaborate at all levels for producing synergistic effects, therefore, their major smart solutions should be standardized or at least compatible, whilst adapted to the local contexts. Cities are systems of systems and contain a large variety of components, each of them presenting different characteristics. Given the vast range of technological choices and the unforgiving overall pressure, governors struggle to implement best specific smart solutions for their cities, by usually adopting bottom-up methods, thus, endangering future possible compatibilities with other local or international systems. This research stresses the importance of top-down smart city deployments, by acknowledging also the local specificities. It investigates the status of relevant international contributions, questioning what kind of approaches should be applied by public administrations. The results point out to complex challenges that exist by revealing the status of standardization proceedings, the authors’ perspective on the enabling technologies and their dimensions, as well as a related case study concerning a local community of Romania so as to bring the beforementioned issues to light. The main objective of this research is to highlight the associated problematics and draw attention to the urgent need of a new macro-systemic top-down attitude for developing smart cities.","PeriodicalId":371132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Administrative Sciences and Technology","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121296781","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}

Free form of knowledge, as opinions or feedback is analyzed in some companies in order to understand potential areas of improvement or satisfaction. This research focuses on analyzing free format opinions collected with a survey instrument from 586 employees of a bank. Various techniques as text analytics, word embedding, supervised and unsupervised learning were explored, extracting key concepts or entities. Attribution and relational similarity was explored using techniques as supervised text classification or unsupervised, by word vector representation and embedding using word2vdec. The aim was to explain overall satisfaction combining structured data (collected with closed questions survey, using 7 points Likert scale) enhanced with text classification of opinions, related to best and worst applications, along with explanations. The theoretical model used for ontology and taxonomy of text classification was based on Technology Acceptance Model, mapped into the main perceptual constructs, Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Utility. The scope of research was the banks’ enterprise IT environment, not focused on a specific application. Various quantitative models, including linear models, decision trees and neural nets, were evaluated to capture potential causality of overall employee IT satisfaction level. The results suggest strong influence of perceptual constructs towards satisfaction, within all methods, while unstructured textual data provide additional insights on employees’ perception from concept associations.","PeriodicalId":371132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Administrative Sciences and Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126939126","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}
