Nurturing an emerging industry’s business ecosystem always requires stakeholders’ efforts and role transformation. By systematically reviewing and studying the evolution of the Chinese electric vehicle industry, this paper constructs a three-dimensional theoretical framework including stages of business ecosystem lifecycle, stakeholder classification and functional roles, to analyse the transformation both of different stakeholders and their functional roles. The findings show that business ecosystem stakeholders have experienced role transformation following a mechanism defined as the ‘Triple Oscillation’ Model during the evolution of the emerging industry. These findings also help develop a conceptual model of agent-based system for business ecosystem evolution, which could be a starting point for further emerging industry study.

With the global evolution of information and communication technology (ICT), organisations need to keep up-to-date with the trends. Whilst most countries are able to respond to these technological changes by drawing on the resources available to them, organisations tend to find it more difficult to keep up. This paper thus attempts to analyse critically the influencing factors regarding e-government implementation and the roles of the key stakeholders in driving successful implementation within public sector organisations in developing countries. Based on the extant literature review and empirical studies, the researchers have developed a conceptual framework stemming from a unification of the concepts, factors, theories and models for e-government implementation. Qualitative analysis was adopted using a multiple case study strategy, and focusing on the three-tiers of government – Federal, Government Agency and Local levels. This conceptual framework has re-affirmed the external and internal influencing factors and the key stakeholder’ and their roles. The e-government stakeholders include the government (ministry/agency), technologically-advanced country, companies and users (employers/citizens). Authors further discussed that the stakeholders’ roles and tasks vary from ‘pre-implementation’ (initiation) to ‘during implementation’ (planning and implementation), and ‘post-implementation’ (monitoring and evaluation) phases. From the analysis and findings, authors have recommended that public organisations would need to strategise their relationships with stakeholders in order to achieve a collective interest for successful e-government implementation. This study contributes to the body of knowledge in information systems by broadening the theoretical foundations of e-government field especially within the stakeholders’ perspective.
Abstract
Managing coastal ecosystem resources and mangrove forests in Sayung District, Demak Regency faces many challenges if it does not involve the community’s active role and stakeholders. ...Ecological empowerment faces the abrasion, erosion, and sedimentation of coastal areas that mangrove stands have not covered. On the other hand, the revitalization and rehabilitation program is still not optimal, so it requires the participation of many institutions, not only from the government but also from non-government, so that all management programs run in tandem are integrated and is following regulations. This study aims to determine the relationship between the role of stakeholders, eco-empowerment, and community perceptions of the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem management. The location selection used the purposive method. While the sample selection used the purposive and snowball random sampling methods. Data analysis used the partial least square method. The study’s results indicate that the stakeholders’ role has a direct positive and significant impact on eco-empowerment and perceptions of sustainability. Eco-empowerment has a direct positive and significant effect on the perception of sustainability. The role of stakeholders has a positive and indirect influence on the perception of sustainability through eco-empowerment activities.
Implementing sustainable tourism development is an essential part of the strategy to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and inclusive, sustainable economic growth. This research aimed to ...examine the level of readiness of the community to carry out sustainable tourism development, especially community-based tourism on small islands, such as Lombok Island, Indonesia. More specifically, the objectives of this study were as follows: first, knowing the level of community readiness in carrying out sustainable tourism development; second, knowing the various dimensions that influence sustainable tourism development; third, understanding the role of stakeholders in sustainable tourism development. Furthermore, the role of the education sector in increasing community readiness for sustainable tourism development is an exciting matter to study. The method applied in this research used mixed techniques, a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative methods were used to determine the level of community readiness in sustainable tourism development. A qualitative approach was used to determine the various factors that influence the development of community-based tourism and to determine the role of stakeholders in the development of community-based tourism. Community readiness for sustainable tourism development is high in terms of economic, social, cultural, environmental, and symbolic capital aspects. Economic, social, cultural, and natural elements influence sustainable tourism development. Stakeholders who play a role in developing sustainable tourism in the research area are the government, the private sector, universities, non-governmental organizations, and the media. The results of this study can be used to create a government policy related to sustainable tourism development.
The Indian media in general, with the exception of a few domain expert journalists, have failed to comprehend the complexities involved in the clinical trial process. In the run up to the ...deadline-based coverage of a story, a majority of them fall short in conveying the right perspective to readers, but nevertheless they have been successful in sensationalizing an event in this arena. Possibly by unintended misrepresentation, or mostly out of ignorance of the nuances involved in the clinical trials process, the media has done more harm than good, and got away with it. On the other side, the industry has been reluctant to engage with the media in a meaningful dialog for too long now. It bears not only the consequences of damage to its professional reputation following such reportage, but also the repercussions of unnecessary clampdowns by the regulators. Science journalism in India has yet to rise as a profession.
Primum non nocere (first, do no harm) these words are commonly known as a part of the Hippocratic Oath taken by physicians and other healthcare professionals. Not many, though, put these words in to ...practice in ICT. From computer specialists we also should expect professionalism, responsibility and the following of the highest ethics code and standards. One of the most important aspects seems to be working for ethical the best interests of the stakeholders. Firstly, in order to accomplish this, all key stakeholders must be identified and characterised. Subsequently their needs must be represented and addressed. If it is possible stakeholders should be invited to work or at least have the opportunity to give some substantial feedback before development can be incorporated into the mainstream particularly that it regards the most important areas such as: government, public safety, access to labour market, education and health care. This paper aims to present how essential it is to address the issues of all who will be affected by the ICT developments and the potential pitfalls if these are neglected.
Cilj je ovoga rada istražiti poglede učenika s teškoćama u razvoju i studenata s invaliditetom o njihovoj ulozi u provedbi obrazovne politike prema djeci s teškoćama i studentima s invaliditetom. U ...ovom se istraživanju za analizu uloge učenika s teškoćama i studenata s invaliditetom u provedbi obrazovne politike primijenila Kontekstualna teorija interakcija (Contextual Interaction Theory) utemeljitelja Hansa Bressersa. Osnovna je pretpostavka Kontekstualne teorije da je politika proces koji se temelji na pregovaranju i sudjelovanju različitih društvenih skupina i organizacija, odnosno interakcija različitih aktera. Stoga su podatci prikupljeni fokus grupnim intervjuom. Provedeno je osam fokus grupa, u razdobju od siječnja 2014. do prosinca 2015. godine, kojima je obuhvaćeno 45 sudionika (učenika s teškoćama u razvoju završnih razreda srednjih škola i studenata s invaliditetom). Negativna percepcija invaliditeta, nedostatno znanje za zagovaranje potreba, neuvažavanje korisničke perspektive i slabo uključivanje korisnika u proces provedbe obrazovne politike prepreke su većem sudjelovanju učenika s teškoćama u razvoju i studenata s invaliditetom u provedbi obrazovne politike.
Seagrass data support conservation areas, carbon budget, natural resource assessment, and other national interests in Indonesia. However, to what extent seagrass-related data are available and how ...the data are managed are still unknown. In this study, we assess the status of data availability and the roles of stakeholders in seagrass-related data provisioning at a national level in Indonesia. Data were collected in August and September 2022 through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and a questionnaire. The participants comprised representatives from the central governments (planning, ministerial, research, geospatial agencies), local governments, universities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in the fields related to the coastal ecosystem. Stakeholders’ roles were analyzed using Stakeholders’ Analysis (SA), while their relationships were examined with Social Network Analysis (SNA). The results showed that the seagrass areal extent (61.7%) was the most crucial data needed, followed by the percent cover (12.77%). Using seagrass data as coastal management was the highest priority among stakeholders. There were overlapping roles between stakeholders related to seagrass data, as producers or users, due to their urgent needs. Almost all stakeholders were key players, and there was a lack of coordination among them relating to seagrass data provisioning. There was an urgent need to strengthen seagrass data governance. The results of this work form an important pathway for Indonesia to develop approaches to map the seagrass areal extent and share knowledge.
•Seagrass data is an urgent need for various stakeholders in Indonesia.•However, data is still scattered among stakeholders and needs to be managed.•Therefore, it is necessary to identify the role of stakeholders clearly.•Stakeholder and Social Network Analysis examined the roles, overlaps, and central actors in providing seagrass data.
Purpose
This paper aims to examine the role of stakeholders and their interconnected relationships based on power and interests in realising sustainable development in coastal areas using the ...Maritime Village program in Tambaklorok, Semarang City, Indonesia as a case study.
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with stakeholders, observations, as well as online news, and official government reports, followed by taxonomic analysis.
Findings
The results showed the four categories of stakeholders, namely players, context setters, subjects, and crowd. The Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR), Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) of Semarang City, Spatial Planning Agency (DISTARU) of Semarang City, and the Fisheries Office of Semarang City were found to be key players with a role in the success of the program. PT Pelindo (Indonesia Port Corporations) was identified as a context setter with low interests but high power, acting as an accelerator in the development program.
Originality/value
The originality of this study lied in its examination of the power and interests of stakeholders involved in government projects. It was recommended to strengthen coordination among the stakeholders to ensure the success of the program.
This study examined the extent to which stakeholders are involved and evidence considered in urban development policies and strategies in Nigeria. With a high urban population growth rate in Nigerian ...cities, sustainable urban development is critical and should be hinged on viable policies that are evidence-based and consider stakeholders’ inputs and interests. A document review of policies, strategies, and plans that are relevant to urban development in Nigeria was conducted. A total of 25 documents were reviewed consisting of 11 policies, 7 plans and 6 strategies/programs/initiatives/road maps, and 1 legal act. A scoping literature review was also done to navigate assessment of the policy documents. Narrative synthesis of findings was conducted. Various stakeholders at the federal and state levels were listed in the policy and strategy documents as being involved in urban development in Nigeria, including government agencies, development partners, civil society organizations, and community groups. The lack of clarity in stakeholders’ roles in policy development was noted. Various forms of evidence were stated to have been used in policy development including examining policy antecedents, statistical data from diverse sources, country-wide experiences, and expert advice.
S
takeholders’ roles in urban development in Nigeria vary across policies, and their involvement in the policy development process is not often explicit. There is a need for harmonized inclusion. Although various forms of evidence were alluded to in some Nigerian urban policies, the sources and manner of utility were somewhat unclear.
