This book explores important issues in human capital in human
resource management as it relates to management information systems
(MIS). It highlights how management information systems are
implemented and the potential for employee resistance, offering
behavioral strategies to involve employees in adopting effective
MIS and in overcoming resistance during change. The authors also
look at the available research that focuses on the changing skills
requirements of employees in the context of both MIS perspectives
and HRM perspectives. They address how current trends have evolved
into a hyper-emerging market of competitive advantage and
fast-changing environments toward globalization. The authors also
address: workforce planning and management systems strategic human
resource management re-engineering work processes for improved
productivity work-force diversity the integration of MIS-HRIS and
employee involvement human resource globalization and MIS
implications the impact of digital technology on decentralized work
sites organizational continuous improvement programs
Showcasing a selection of new research on nanotechnological
applications for environmental protection along with new advanced
technologies in nanochemistry, this volume presents an
interdisciplinary approach that brings together materials science,
chemistry, and nanotechnology. Part I of the volume looks at
environmental topics that include an exploration of the challenges
of the global water crisis and new technology in nanofiltration and
water purification. It provides an informative overview of green
nanotechnology, green nanomaterials, and green chemistry. Some of
the advanced technologies discussed in Part II include the
application of quantum dots, a nanochemical approach to using ICT
technology, and new research on polymer nanocomposites as a smart
material along with its synthesis, preparation, and properties.
Other important topics are included as well.
This new volume focuses on different aspects of composite systems
that are associated with research and development, helping to
bridge the gap between classical analysis and modern real-life
applications. The chapters look at the experimental and theoretical
aspects of composite materials, regarding preparation, processing,
design, properties, and practical implications. It also presents
recent advancements, research, and development prospects of
advanced composite materials that provide new solutions for
advanced technologies.
Big Data is now highly regarded and accepted as a useful tool to
help organizations manage their data and information effectively
and efficiently. This new volume, The Emerging Technology of Big
Data: Its Impact as a Tool for ICT Development, looks at the new
technology that has emerged to meet the growing need and demand and
studies the impact of Big Data in several areas of today's society,
including social media, business process re-engineering, science,
e-learning, higher education, business intelligence, and green
computing. In today's modern society, information system (IS)
through Big Data contributes to the success of organizations
because it provides a solid foundation for increasing both
efficiency and productivity. Many business organizations and
educational institutions realize that compliance with Big Data will
affect their prospects for success. Everyday, the amount of data
collected from digital tools grows tremendously. As the amount of
data increases, the use of IS becomes more and more essential. The
book looks at how large datasets and analytics have slowly crept
into the world of education and discusses methods of teaching and
learning and the collection of student-learning data. The final
chapter of the book considers the environmental impacts of ICT and
emphasizes green ICT awareness as a corporate strategy through
information systems. The global ICT industry accounts for
approximately 2 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions,
and the manufacture, shipping, and disposal of ICT equipment also
contributes environmentally. This chapter addresses these issues.
The information provided here will be valuable information for
education professionals, businesses, faculty, scientists and
researchers, and others.
This volume reflects the huge breadth and diversity in research and
the application of industrial and engineering chemistry and
cheminformatics. The book presents cutting-edge research
developments and new insights that emphasize the vibrancy of
industrial and engineering chemistry and cheminformatics today. The
first section of the book focuses on new insights in engineering
chemistry while the second part looks at the promising future and
novel approaches in chemical informatics, which has vast
implications for industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
Several chapters examine various industrial processes for emerging
materials and determine practical use under a wide range of
conditions, helping to establish what is needed to produce a new
generation of materials.

This volume shows how ICT (information and communications
technology) can play the role of a driver of business process
reengineering (BPR). ICT can aid in enabling improvement in BPR
activity cycles as it provides many components that enhance
performance that can lead to competitive advantages. IT can
interface with BPR to improve business processes in terms of
communication, inventory management, data management, management
information systems, customer relationship management,
computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and
computer-aided engineering. This volume explores these issues in
depth.
This new volume, Information Security Management Systems: A Novel
Framework and Software as a Tool for Compliance with Information
Security Standard, looks at information security management system
standards, risk management associated with information security,
and information security awareness within an organization. The
authors aim to improve the overall ability of organizations to
participate, forecast, and actively assess their information
security circumstances. It is important to note that securing and
keeping information from parties who do not have authorization to
access such information is an extremely important issue. To address
this issue, it is essential for an organization to implement an
ISMS standard such as ISO 27001 to address the issue
comprehensively. The authors of this new volume have constructed a
novel security framework (ISF) and subsequently used this framework
to develop software called Integrated Solution Modeling (ISM), a
semi-automated system that will greatly help organizations comply
with ISO 27001 faster and cheaper than other existing methods. In
addition, ISM does not only help organizations to assess their
information security compliance with ISO 27001, but it can also be
used as a monitoring tool, helping organizations monitor the
security statuses of their information resources as well as monitor
potential threats. ISM is developed to provide solutions to solve
obstacles, difficulties, and expected challenges associated with
literacy and governance of ISO 27001. It also functions to assess
the RISC level of organizations towards compliance with ISO 27001.
The information provide here will act as blueprints for managing
information security within business organizations. It will allow
users to compare and benchmark their own processes and practices
against these results shown and come up with new, critical insights
to aid them in information security standard (ISO 27001) adoption.
