By underlining the relevance of the use of ICTs, knowledge sharing and electronic markets for SMEs, it emerges the need for stimulating a debate on digitisation process of supply chain management (SCM). Electronic infrastructure in the service sector are reducing each kind of cost and improving multiply buyer-supplier relationships, facilitating negotiations and transactions. However, since the coordination costs are still high, the use of ICTs is limited. This phenomenon thus attracts the interests of scholars and practitioners. Although it still needs to further investigate. Especially, the optimal use of ICTs within SMEs' SCM have not been studied yet. Therefore, by leveraging on four proxies: ICTs specialised human resources, knowledge sharing activities, buyer-supplier relationships, adoption of electronic markets this optimal was analysed via structural equation modelling based on a sample of 1254 SMEs operating in the service sector in Italy.

“…After the 2011 Egyptian revolution, the country had to face a challenging socioeconomic transition phase [1]. Evidence suggests that a full integration of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) into the economic and social fabric of Egypt can be beneficial in addressing development issues [26,28]. The social computing literature identifies the institutionalization of HCI principles and practices to boost ICT growth in many developing countries [37,15,28].…”

We critically engage with CHI communities emerging outside the global North (ArabHCI and AfriCHI) to explore how participation is configured and enacted within sociocultural and political contexts fundamentally different from Western societies. We contribute to recent discussions about postcolonialism and decolonization of HCI by focusing on non-Western future technology designers. Our lens was a course designed to engage Egyptian students with a local yet culturally-distant community to design applications for documenting intangible heritage. Through an action research, the instructors reflect on selected students' activities. Despite deploying a flexible learning curriculum that encourages greater autonomy, the students perceived themselves with less agency than other institutional stakeholders involved in the project. Further, some of them struggled to empathize with the community as the impact of the cultural differences on configuring participation was profound. We discuss the implications of the findings on HCI education and in international cross-cultural design projects.

“…This indicates that perception of technology is considered an important factor that affects e-CRM implementation. Lack of technology awareness and computer illiteracy makes it difficult to take advantage from e-CRM, where according to Kamel et al (2009) there are 33 million of Egyptian cannot use the internet. H 2 Organisational cultural affects e-CRM readiness.…”

Adopting electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM) in a country like Egypt, with over 80 million, needs clear understanding of the Egyptian users' characteristics, perception, and e-readiness. E-CRM provides various benefits to banks, employees and bank clients, and can serve a great number of users regardless of the bank's capacity and working hours. In order to better understand the e-CRM readiness in the Egyptian context, a structured questionnaire was devised to survey a sufficient number of bank employees; as the actual e-CRM users. The investigation was conducted in Alexandria, as the second main city in Egypt. Data collected was analysed statistically using SPSS. From the data analysis, supported by a review of literature, the researchers could better understand the problem, derive conclusions and make recommendations to e-CRM decision makers, which would help promote and enhance the e-CRM in Egypt.
