Background: With the continuing growth of SM for KS in the DR environment, disaster relief organizations across the globe have started to realize i...

Purpose Building information modelling (BIM) has transformed the traditional practices of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. BIM creates a collaborative digital representation of built environment data. Competitive advantage can be achieved with collaborative project delivery and rich information modelling. Despite the a...

The adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is seen as an important part of the sustainable energy transition. In this regard, it is crucial to identify the determinants of solar (PV) systems’ adoption to facilitate this process. Therefore, this article aims to examine the determinants of SPVS adoption by contrasting the relationships in a cros...

Business Intelligence (BI) leverages IT tools and services to transform data into insights that inform an organization's business decisions. BI using Big Data has gained popularity in recent years and has become a significant study area for academics and practitioners. However, prior studies have highlighted the technical challenges of BI using Big...

Open government data (OGD) has gained much attention worldwide; however, there is still an increasing demand for exploring research from the perspective of its adoption and diffusion. Policymakers expect that OGD will be used on a large scale by the public, which will result in a range of benefits, such as: faith and trust in governments, innovatio...

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the collection of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), interacting policies and procedures. It supports the construction activities from architectural design to three-dimension (3D) modeling, project scheduling, estimation, and facility management. Despite the many benefits and features of BIM, th...

Open Data initiative is attracting considerable interest globally due to growing phenomena of transparency, accountability, quality of life, and business. Adoption of open data technologies is inevitably an issue to better exploit full potential and benefits of open data available to the public. The main issue in our knowledge of open data technolo...

Open Government Data (an innovation in the electronic government enabling public sector information accessible by the public in open formats and the ways to enable such facility) has huge potential to increase transparency, accountability, participation, efficiency in operations, data-driven/evidence-based policymaking, and trust on government inst...

Open government data (OGD) has huge potential to increase transparency, accountability, and participation while improving efficiency in operations, data-driven and evidence-based policymaking, and trust in government institutions. Despite its potential benefits, OGD has not been widely and successfully adopted in public sector organizations, partic...

The purpose of this research is to empirically examine the factors that influence consumers' adoption of digital payments in a developing country i.e. Pakistan by employing information systems theory. A better understanding of these factors can help policy-makers to determine which policy instruments they can use to increase the adoption of digital...

Governments around the world are using information and communication technologies to offer both simple information portals and transactional services. A less than one-third of the electronic government (e-government) initiatives focused on the provision of transactional services and understanding on studies related to the adoption of such services...

The Fourth Industrial Revolution begins, and policies are being formulated by economies as well as efforts are being made to meet the needs of the current times. Among other technologies which are part of Fourth Industrial Revolution, big open data is also the part of Pakistan’s digital policy framework. Scholarship is available to explore and exam...

Background and Objective: This paper examined the role of customer trust in the relationship of customer satisfaction and advocacy. Trust is an important element in strengthening the relationship between the customer and the firm. Methodology: Winning customer trust is surely not a miracle rather it is the result of careful planning and implementat...

This study examines factors that can be argued to influence the academician's behavioral intentions in using open government data (OGD). Policy-makers and practitioners will determine policy instruments in increasing acceptance and use of OGD by maintaining a good understanding of these factors. In this study, Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations (DOI)...

Laffer curve is a tradeoff between tax cuts and tax revenues. The sketch of Laffer curve was drawn by Arther Laffer at a dinner with his friends on his napkin that reduction in taxes will increase tax revenues. Laffer curve explained that lower tax rate could encourage an additional output and it would increase income, which builds bigger tax base...

Agile methods are based on frequent delivery of software, improved customer satisfaction, closed interaction with the clients and accommodation of requirement change at any stage of development. However, several challenges exist such as scalability, transparency, face-to-face communication, smooth control of development, and ability to build applic...

The technological transformation has led to the introduction of mini computers as wearable computers which facilitate users to use the Internet, different applications, messaging, and for calls all on one platform. The focus of these wearable computers in earlier studies has been on consumers and technical aspects, and their application has not bee...

ABSTRACT Increasing supply chain performance has always been a common phenomenon in the history of organizations. Recent technological advancements (including radio frequency identification (RFID) in combination with big data predictive analytics (BDPA)) have been able to significantly leverage supply chain performance. In this respect, there is an...

Governmental entities are one of the producers of voluminous data. Proactive release of big open data (BOD) by the governmental entities is on the way around the globe. Pakistan’s Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2013 has been considered the compelling cause of big open data policy innovation adoption among governmental entities. Taking big open dat...
