摘要:

Information technology (IT) forms an increasingly important component of donor‐funded development projects, yet there has been very little structured analysis of the IT transfer process. This paper presents and evaluates a structured framework for analysis of IT transfer ‐ the information technology transfer life‐cycle ‐ based on a study of four Chinese technology projects. The life‐cycle framework helps to structure both data‐gathering and analysis, and it is used to highlight a number of shortcomings within the Chinese projects. However, several broader project and environmental issues are also identified that impinge on the technology transfer process. The life‐cycle framework must therefore be viewed within a broader contextual model, which is presented in the paper.

摘要:

While the potentially crucial role of information technology in the development of Third World countries has been widely prescribed, the evolving interaction between IT and the organization during the process of IT implementation and its implications for managers in these environments, has received little attention. This paper argues for more fieldwork to better analyze the dynamic interweaving between the new technology and the social/organizational setting in which it is being embedded.

摘要:

It was noted that there is poor communication of accounting information in the Agricultural Development Projects (ADPs). This creates information gaps among the financial and non‐financial managers. The gap is occasioned by ignorance, lack of trust and personality clash among ADPs’ staff. This hinders effective and efficient gathering and dissemination of accounting information in ADPs. The tripartite funding and controls of ADPs makes their accounting data processing and management different. Accounting information can assist in achieving sustainability of ADPs by providing information to support decision making, assisting in setting and allocating resources to prioritized areas, promoting industrial relations and cost reduction in the ADPs’ system. The paper also asserted that in establishing and implementing information processing system to fully realise these benefits, accounting information needs to be properly understood and managed. Accounting information requires management in much the same way as any large stock holdings. Hence accounting information should be such that it is uniquely stored, located, retrieved, updated, disseminated and consequently used to make informed decisions.

摘要:

This paper aims at stimulating universities in Africa to work towards convergence of computer centres and library services as a strategy for enhancing information provision in these institutions. It highlights the convergence initiatives in the context of developed countries and gives advantages and benefits of such a strategy particularly in developing countries’ constraints in both material and human resources.
