“…Ahora bien, en este marco de gobierno, la gobernanza de tecnologías de información y comunicaciones (TI), se centra en el desarrollo futuro de las TI y su alineación con los objetivos de una organización, a diferencia de la gestión de TI cuyo foco está más centrado en administrar e implementar la estrategia tecnológica del día a día. Al respecto (Juiz et al, 2012;Welch y Feeney, 2014), explican que la gobernanza de TI tiene como objetivo obtener la evidencia de que la TI es un activo estratégico y proporciona valor a la empresa. Por lo tanto, las actividades de gobierno de TI incluyen mecanismos que buscan la alineación de TI con los objetivos en el contexto de la actividad empresarial.…”

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ResumenEl objetivo del artículo es presentar los resultados relacionados con el estado y avance del gobierno de Tecnologías de la Información (TI) y el uso y prácticas de dichas TI en las entidades públicas de las ciudades capitales del triángulo del café de Colombia. Se realizó una valoración por medio de encuesta, la cual fue aplicada a 39 entidades públicas de esta región. Se desarrolló el estudio desde una óptica inductiva y con un tipo de estudio descriptivo exploratorio y correlacional. Se concluye que el gobierno de TI con el uso y apropiación de TI deben avanzar en su consolidación y desarrollo. Se espera que, con los resultados presentados, se puedan desarrollar programas de mejoramiento entre universidades públicas y las entidades para alcanzar los niveles que se espera en este campo. AbstractThe objective of this article is to present the results of a study related to the present state and advance of Information Technology governance and the use and practices of IT in the public entities of the capital cities of the Colombian coffee triangle. An evaluation was carried out by means of a survey, which was applied to 39 public entities of this region. The study was developed from an inductive perspective and with a descriptive exploratory and correlational study. It is concluded that IT governance with the use and appropriation of IT should advance in its consolidation and development. It is hoped that with the results presented, it will be possible to develop improvement programs between public universities and local public entities to reach the levels expected in this field.

“…Schwanen and Kwan (2008) pointed out that socio-physical context is influencing the usage of digital technologies in our daily life. Previous research shows that cultural factors such as language, ethnicity, and organizational culture are related to the access and usage of information technologies (Welch and Feeney, 2014;Jin and Liang, 2015).…”

The past decade has witnessed the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in public service innovation. As the technical characteristics of IoT technologies are rather identical around the globe, one might wonder whether the location still matters for their adoptions. Smart public bike sharing (PBS) scheme is one of the world's most widespread public IoT applications. Prior studies of smart PBS schemes find the positive effects on the host city's image and sustainable mobility. However, less attention has been paid to the impact of the host city's context on the evolution of their service characteristics. The paper proposes a model that explicitly includes the contextual dynamics of public service innovations that utilize IoT. Then the model is used to analyze two empirical cases from Sweden and China, respectively. The results reveal that public motives, user preferences, and governance can impact the evolution of the service characteristics of smart PBS schemes, which is important for smart PBS planners, operators, and policymakers to consider. The best PBS scheme is the one that adapts to the characters of the host city and the changing needs of the users. Moreover, the study reflects the new complexities that arise for digital public services, such as the protection of data and privacy.

“…However, organizational culture can also be advantageous in the application of e-management. Managing organizational culture is critical for bringing organizational values, beliefs, regulatory norms and organizational expectations to life, supporting the implementation of its strategies, promoting adaptation, goal attainment and sustainability (Welch & Feeney, 2014). Organization culture is referred to us the behaviors that contribute to unique social and psychological environment of an organization.…”

ABSTRACT:-The study of digital culture is a multi-disciplinary field that spans many different methodologies, frameworks and philosophies that explore the relationship between culture and technology. The following is a discourse in digital culture research using the philosophy of scientific revolution (Thomas S. Kuhn) as a key source for understanding the current state of the emerging field. Information Revolution, Scientific Revolution Electronic technology that developed out of the 20th century enabled the cultural prevalence of mass media, in the form of cinema and television and later digital media which provides cultural researchers and philosophers complex new frontiers to explore. Marshall McLuhan in The Gutenberg Galaxy1 and Martin Heidegger in The Question Concerning Technology discuss the idea of media and technology as an extension of mankind that creates new capacity and influence, both intended and unintended, and have sought to understand them in a cultural as well as philosophical context. A core philosophical problem of technology is that, much as language transforms the world, so do the extensions of man, resulting in a change of meaning. Ernst Cassirer saw technology as an attempt at making sense of the world through symbolism and creating meaning through spontaneous action. In the digital context, this changing of meaning is profound and reaches far into everyday life from the creation of online communities to digital identities that function as citizens of the global village, effectively changing the way we identity with ourselves and the world around us. As McLuhan predicted, the digital age has brought about electronic interdependence and a change in cognitive and social organization including the transformation of media structures, modes of communication and identity narratives. It is in this background that the discourse below will anchor its arguments on as the concept of digital culture evolves.
