“…One major challenge of the extant forms of business directories, even the advanced manifestations like business pages, is that they all lack support for representation of domain-specific attributes of special type of organizations such as research and innovation laboratories, educational and training institutes, hospitals, to name a few. Furthermore, the architectures of most online directories is framed in a manufacturing firm style, and thus they all fall insufficient when it comes to the representation of organizations where there is no tangible product or service for selling or marketing purposes [4]. In such circumstances, potential customers cannot search and filter results for such type of organizations according to a certain specific criteria and thereby get ambiguous results with incomplete information for decision making.…”

This research work relates to the paradigm of business pages hosted on social networking sites, as they are increasingly gaining attention among business organizations as a potential source of their community outreach. However, the social networking sites whilst offering several necessary community services, are currently lacking the support for the domain specific features of specific types of organizations such as research and innovation laboratories, educational and training institutes and many others. Undertaking a design science research approach, we investigate the stated problem in more detail in a specific type of organizations termed as Innovation Laboratories. As a result, we propose designing domain specific business directories while simultaneously integrating them with the business pages hosted on existing social networking sites. We demonstrate the feasibility and application of our proposed model through a web-based tool named as “SIDIL - Social networks Integrated Directory of Innovation Laboratories”. The tool has been evaluated by the experts running Innovation Laboratories and found effective in achieving its objectives. As a conclusion, we present a motivation towards designing next generation of online and integrated business networking platforms.

“…Public relations as the center of the network must be able to create and develop a platform to maintain and strengthen community relationships among network members. The concept of the platform itself can be seen from various perspectives such as media networks (Memon & Meyer, 2017), businesses (Jeong & Kim, 2016) and others. In the proposed framework, the platform refers to a collection of components or methods that allow network members to develop content effectively through an interface.…”

Science communication involves delivering scientific information that is not only done by scientists but also by public relations officers at government scientific and technological institutions. The hierarchical mechanism adopted by government agencies is one of the obstacles to the entry of information from various stakeholders. Network organization is a concept of organizational structure that strongly supports the exchange of information between its members. The main objective of this study is to build a conceptual framework of science communication by government public relations from an organizational network perspective so that it can be used as a reference for future research. A similar conceptual framework has been proposed previously but only focuses on the communication aspect and not through an organizational perspective. The systematic literature review produced 28 primary papers from which data was collated to create a conceptual framework. The meta-synthesis technique with the metaethnography approach was used to arrange several concepts in the framework. The results of the study were able to renew the old framework by displaying the collaboration and communication mechanisms of network members and the important role of government public relations as a network manager.

“…They can also have access to this information and data easily thanks to easy storage and retrieval. ECTs reduce repetitive entries of data and provide access and usage of remote storage systems and files that may be modified by groups of parties involved (Memon & Meyer, 2017, Chi et al, 2015.…”

The aim of this study is to identify the impact of adopting and using electronic collaboration tools on knowledge management processes at the Generations For Peace (GFP) Organisation in Jordan. To achieve the objectives of this study, the researchers used an analytical descriptive method by developing a questionnaire consisting of (46) items. A comprehensive survey was adopted for the study and 300 questionnaires were distributed among the study population consisting of GFP Arabic-speaking staff. 281 questionnaires were returned (93.6% of the study sample) and 267 were suitable for analysis. The researchers used SPSS to analyse the data. As part of the study's results, deficiency, on the one hand, was found in the use of electronic links among individuals. Furthermore, the researchers found a drawback in GFP's use of strategies that reduce bureaucracy at work. Another deficiency was found as well in encouraging informal meetings at GFP among staff to exchange work-related views. But on the other hand, knowledge management processes were highly scored; the highest score was given to 'knowledge storage' followed by 'knowledge generation', 'knowledge application' and lastly 'knowledge sharing'.
