Readiness To Adopt

Blockchain technology is an emerging innovation, and it is viewed as a better approach to help the necessities of people and institutions in terms of record management. Using the Delphi technique and the PERM model, this chapter seeks to present the perspectives of experts in the field of blockchain on the readiness of the institutions in developing economies to adopt and implement it. The findings suggest that the understanding of the technology, knowledge on how to use it, availability of skilled personnel, availability of technical components, risk, capital, management support, business process, policies and regulations, and government initiatives on technology are key influencing factors assessing the readiness to adopt blockchain in a developing economy. It is expected that these findings will enlighten practitioners on the prospects of the application of blockchain in all sectors. The originality of this study lies in the fact that it is a maiden exploratory study that examines the factors that influence the readiness to adopt and implement blockchain technology in a developing economy.

The Relationship

Although considerable attention has been paid to the application of leadership in virtual communities, the field of live streaming has not been involved. This exploratory study aimed to explore how different broadcaster leadership traits (charismatic, authoritarian, and servant) influence audiences’ loyalty (cognitive and conative). And audience self-construal was chosen as a key moderator. The top 15 broadcasters from the regional rankings were selected from each of the two popular live streaming platforms, Douyu and YouTube, for the study. And we used snowball sampling with a link to an online questionnaire as a recruitment procedure. 310 audiences with live streaming experience from the Chinese Mainland and Taiwan participated. Hierarchical linear modeling was adopted for the analysis. This study found that broadcasters with servant and charismatic leadership traits positively affected cognitive loyalty. Broadcasters with servant leadership traits also had a positive effect on conative loyalty. Additionally, independent self-construal negatively moderated the relationship between servant leadership and cognitive loyalty. Independent self-construal positively moderated the relationship between authoritarian leadership and conative loyalty. Furthermore, interdependent self-construal negatively moderated the relationship between charismatic leadership and conative loyalty. Interdependent self-construal positively moderated the relationship between authoritarian leadership and conative loyalty. These conclusions extend the understanding of broadcasters’ traits and audiences’ psychology concerning the booming phenomenon of live streaming and can help platform managers motivate audiences’ loyalty on these platforms.

The Federal Government has made available to Brazilian municipalities the PMAT in order to modernize and strengthen tax administration. Because it is public money, it becomes necessary to implement measures to control the application of the Program investments. The objective of this research is to propose a model of performance evaluation for municipalities that implemented PMAT, which aims to: (i) identify the objectives, characteristics and criteria required by PMAT to enable municipal governments in obtaining resources, (ii) define the criteria needed to make the model structure for evaluating the performance of municipalities from the implementation of PMAT (iii) determine the parameters of judgment to allow evaluation of the municipalities. To achieve the objectives of the research it was conducted an exploratory study with qualitative / quantitative approaches. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. As a result of research we propose a model of performance evaluation for municipalities that implemented PMAT, containing 70 descriptors linked to 14 critical points of view, organized in four areas of interest, and consistent with the characteristics and objectives required by the program.

Drug use continues to be one of the key public health problems, so it is particularly relevant to develop effective prevention programs targeted at different groups of young people. In this case, any preventive measure must necessarily rely on the results of empirical research. The article presents the results of the preparatory phase of the study of social representations about drug addicts, made in the framework of the theory of social representations (in the framework of the Geneva School ideas developed by V. Doisy and colleagues). The aim of the study was to identify the "map" of the common points of view in the discourse about drug addicts. The sample consisted of 308 people (195 men and 112 women, and one respondent did not state his gender), aged 16 to 47 years (median age is 25 years). The results provide empirical support for the hypothesis of the authors of the "map" of common points of view in the discourse about drug addicts.
