Using a multistage virtual benchmarking process, the best and rational benchmark is extracted for inefficient ISs. Furthermore, Tobit and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression models are used to investigate the likelihood of changes in inefficiencies by investigating country-specific factors. The empirical results relating to the virtual benchmarking process suggest that the OLS regression model would better explain changes in the performance of innovation- inefficient countries.","PeriodicalId":38310,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Technology Management and Sustainable Development","volume":"9 1","pages":"195-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1386/TMSD.9.3.195_1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66559240","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}

Data centres use a significant amount of energy. This has become problematic during the last few years. Power intensities have been increasing over time, largely because of the increasing heat density of IT equipment. The number and usage of PCs have been rapidly increasing worldwide. By implementing IT sustainability programmes, organizations can drastically reduce the amount of energy spent, develop efficient technology products, keep e-waste out of landfills and adopt recycle and reuse programmes. Using more efficient technologies can help consume fewer resources and emit less waste. This article discusses various aspects of sustainable IT programmes and proposes sustainability metrics for IT to demonstrate a positive impact on the environment.","PeriodicalId":38310,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Technology Management and Sustainable Development","volume":"9 1","pages":"95-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1386/TMSD.9.2.95_1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66559165","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}
