For colleges, this means reducing advertising, marketing, and promotions costs in conjunction with lessening previous environmental impacts of printing, paper waste, mailing brochures, and college recruiter travel and transportation. Digital economy innovations in cyber marketing create channels for advertising and promotion without the carbon footprint issues of previous recruiting approaches. This paper uses a content analysis of the literature to explore how sustainable marketing approaches apply digital economy innovations in cyber marketing and digital communications for student global student marketing and recruiting. The goal is to gain actionable and applied knowledge about how sustainable marketing strategies apply digital economy innovations in cyber marketing and digital communication can influence the world of practice.","PeriodicalId":373283,"journal":{"name":"Int.

One relevant research stream has so far dealt with modelling task complexity while another research stream has established the importance of situation awareness (SA) during crisis management. This study takes into consideration these two research streams and builds a model on how SA is achieved under task complexity. The research shows that information of high information quality (IQ) reduces the level of task complexity, and influences—as well as is influenced by—situation awareness. The practice of collecting and disseminating relevant and timely information as a critical resource in improving SA should be carried out continuously. This continuous process can be improved by using information technologies as automating tools. Moreover, the study shows how shared mental models can improve SA under task complexity. A case study approach, based on qualitative data focusing on theory building, is applied. Unit of analysis is a Norwegian hospital.","PeriodicalId":373283,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Innov. Digit.

This study develops a new model for selecting the scripts of Taiwanese dramas based on the production manager's perceptions. First, the proposed model adopts the modified delphi method to determine suitable evaluative criteria for the scripts of contemporary Taiwanese dramas. Next, the model applies the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the relative weights of evaluative criteria, thereafter rating the alternatives and selecting the best script. Additionally, a Taiwanese company is used how the scripts of Taiwanese dramas can be selected using this model. The results indicate that important criteria, in order of important, are characteristics of the story, the subject matter of the script, the meaning of the words, and the scriptwriter. The proposed model helps companies to effectively select the scripts of Taiwanese dramas, making it highly applicable for academia and commerce.","PeriodicalId":373283,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The current population of 127 million will, at current estimates, drop by one-third to 88 million by 2065. At the same time, the population is ageing greatly with 28% aged 65 or over, a world record. Japan is pioneering the widespread introduction of robotics into many areas of society to compensate for the population fall. It aims to replace humans in many sectors like manufacturing and food processing. It also plans to introduce service robots that work closely with human beings in settings like care homes and hospitals. It is the largest such program of its kind globally. The ultimate success of this program depends on creating truly autonomous robots and will require Japan to become a global leader in artificial intelligence alongside the United States and China.","PeriodicalId":373283,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Apart from the financial realm, healthcare, agriculture, and education sectors are also benefiting from the security and reliability of BC.

The article concludes that using open data and social media in co-creation of public service innovation is a promising approach but not yet fully implemented. It seems clear that the advances in digital technology may provide a bridge for bringing service providers and service users together. The benefits are clear. First, the more accurate and real-time data available, the more effective the service provision will be. Second, the more citizen participation, the more tailored services can be co-created. Third, the more transparent governance becomes, the more legitimate and accountable it becomes. Fourth, governmental legitimacy increases societal trust which supports knowledge sharing and spurs innovation. However, co-creation of public service innovations can be more complex, more unpredictable, and more political than what the rhetoric indicates.","PeriodicalId":373283,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Therefore, the impacts of change have on the economic environment of organizations can only be balanced when implementing good practices and control mechanisms, considering the critical factors for the success of implementation of change using methodologies versus technology versus resources. The control of digital change focuses on the constant need to adapt methodologies in the most varied application scenarios, and in its control in a structured way, namely a simple way to succinct this concept, so it is possible to affirm that the digital economy correlates directly with the constant need for change. Therefore, the objective is through a model proposal to support for the change management that allows managing the processes and associated impacts.","PeriodicalId":373283,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.
