Given the dearth of studies investigating the contribution of information technology infrastructure flexibility on strategic use of information systems, this paper proposed a framework linking the former and the later. In the framework, information systems strategic use is operationalised in three dimensions namely cost leadership; product or service differentiation; and growth advantage. The IT infrastructure flexibility is operationalized in nine dimensions namely compatibility, modularity, connectivity, IT personnel competency, scalability, continuity, rapidity, facility and modernity. The proposed framework is appropriate to be studied using the survey research methodology and the unit of analysis is firm or business organizations.

The paper examines the existing researchers view on security measures on mobile learning. In general, it discovers related measure on security which includes reliability, trust, privacy and security itself. Each measure is widely used as determinants in previous studies and its range in some environments and perspectives. Reliability and security determinants are widely adapted to measure in terms of the infrastructure of mobile learning environment, while trust and privacy mostly measure behaviours and perceptions from the user or human towards mobile learning. Furthermore, the study will also investigate the infrastructure and components of mobile learning itself in order to determine the security vulnerabilities that may involve in the mobile learning environment. Other security features that are discussed at glance include the key distribution and management, information confidentiality and privacy, secure routing, intrusion detection, data integrity, entity authentication and secure data aggregation. However, at the end of this study, mapping on the relevent security measures with each component of mobile learning will be formulated for further study.

Driven by the limited amount of research investigating the relationship between knowledge conversion abilities and innovation, a study was conducted to fill the gap. Adopting a survey research methodology involving 328 administrative and diplomatic officers working in Malaysian Federal Ministries, the study found that most dimensions of knowledge conversion have a significant relationship with innovations operationalized as service and process. The findings suggest the importance of increasing the knowledge conversion skills and competencies so as to intensify innovation activities within the agencies under the Malaysian Federal Ministries. The study should capture the interest of both researchers and practitioners as it has developed an empirical-based framework linking knowledge conversion abilities and innovation.
