A GeoSocial Intelligence Framework for Studying & Promoting Resilience to Seasonal Flooding in Jakarta, Indonesia

PetaJakarta.org is a web-based platform developed to harness the power of social media to gather, sort, and display information about flooding for Jakarta residents in real time. The platform runs on the open source software CogniCity—an OSS platform developed by the SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong—which allows data to be collected and disseminated by community members through their location-enabled mobile devices. The project uses a GeoSocial Intelligence Framework to approach the complexity of Jakarta’s entangled hydraulic, hydrological and meteorological systems and thereby converts the noise of social media into knowledge about urban infrastructure and situational conditions related to flooding and inundation. In this paper, PetaJakarta.org co-directors Dr Tomas Holderness, Geomatics Research Fellow at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, Dr Etienne Turpin, Vice-Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, and Dr Rohan Wickramasuriyam, GIS Research Fellow at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, will discuss their GeoSocial Intelligence Framework as it applies to their current research in Jakarta. They will also present their preliminary findings from their 2014 Twitter #DataGrant, which has allowed them to develop a correlative analysis between historic social media information, the Jakarta government’s flood maps, and the infrastructure used to manage critical flood emergencies. Finally, they will speculate on several future applications of the CogniCity OSS and suggest how it might be developed to further promote an integrated civic co-management platform with the support of business, industry, government and community organizations

Forming a social media marketing strategy : Increasing product awareness and generating leads for a startup company in diving industry

Social media is used by billions of people daily to share and interact. While the main focus for many social media channels is to allow communications between individuals, companies have also noticed the vast potential social media channels have to offer. At present, many companies of varying sizes are using social media for numerous purposes, brand building, customer service and information gathering being some of the most typical. This study analyzes how social media marketing can be used to effectively promote a startup company and their product with the goal of presenting a social media marketing plan for UWIS Oy (Underwater Information Systems). UWIS is a startup company founded in Finland in 2014. They are launching a new product to completely new market within diving industry during the year 2017. Because of limited resources, UWIS has decided to use selected social media channels to raise product awareness, establish company image, manage customer relationships and gain information about the industry. In order for UWIS to achieve these goals effectively, this study examined some prominent and successful industry organizations for benchmarking purposes. A semi structured interview was conducted either via Skype or email. The interview analyzed the social media behavior of potential customers within diving industry as well as their favored content in the social media channels they use. The interviews and benchmarks derived from diving industry organizations and their activities suggest that potential customers for UWIS are people who enjoy content concerning marine life, environment and the lifestyle of diving. They prefer personal, relevant and interesting social media material that promotes the values they have and overlook promotional and impersonal messaging. The findings from benchmarks and interviews were then compared with background research and non-academic literature on social media marketing to form social media marketing plan comprising of several different important aspects that together form the social media marketing plan. The research results would indicate that the ways of effectively marketing on social media haven’t changed in the recent decade. The literature still forms a robust framework for companies to structure their social media marketing strategy on, but companies need to study their audience and potential customers in order to be able to create relevant and interesting content for them

What determines FinTech success? — A taxonomy-based analysis of FinTech success factors

Value creation in the financial services sector has been fundamentally transformed by digitally born financial technology (FinTech) companies. FinTech companies synthesize information systems with financial services. Given its disruptive power, the FinTech phenomenon has received great attention in academic research, practice, and media. Still, limited systematic research provides a structure and holistic view of FinTechs’ success. Aiming to enhance understanding of the factors enabling FinTech success, we classify success factors across extant scientific literature on distinct FinTech business model archetypes. Our analysis reveals that the “cost–benefit dynamic of the innovation,” “technology adoption,” “security, privacy, and transparency,” “user trust,” “user-perceived quality,” and “industry rivalry” are crucial factors for FinTech success and can be seen as “grand challenges” for the FinTech ecosystem. In addition, we validate and discuss our findings with real-world examples from the FinTech industry and two interviews with stakeholders from the FinTech ecosystem. Our study contributes to the knowledge of FinTechs by providing a classification system of success factors for practitioners and researchers

The effect of ERP on firm performance through information quality and supply chain integration in Covid-19 era

The disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has an imbalance between demand and supply in Indonesias manufacturing industry. The products needed to handle the spread of the virus are in high order, and there is even a product shortage. Products that are not required to prevent a pandemic have stagnated so that the manufacturing industry suddenly reduces capacity. Manufacturing companies need to coordinate quickly to be able to adjust the disruption. Manufacturing companies already have an integrated information technology system that has been the primary process in Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP). Manufacturing companies make ERP their primary system, so they need to be updated and adjusted as needed. This study obtains a questionnaire from Indonesias manufacturing industry using the google form link and distributed through social media WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. Data processing was carried out by using the partial least square of 285 manufacturing company respondents. The results showed that ERP sustainability was able to influence supply chain integration (internal and external). External integration has an impact on information quality, while internal integration does not affect. Supply chain integration and information quality affect increasing firm performance. Research makes a practical contribution to the industry in optimizing ERP systems in Pandemic conditions and a theoretical contribution to ERP sustainability as a mainstay in supply chain integration

Incident Streams 2019: Actionable Insights and How to Find Them

The ubiquity of mobile internet-enabled devices combined with wide-spread social media use during emergencies is posing new challenges for response personnel. In particular, service operators are now expected to monitor these online channels to extract actionable insights and answer questions from the public. A lack of adequate tools makes this monitoring impractical at the scale of many emergencies. The TREC Incident Streams (TREC-IS) track drives research into solving this technology gap by bringing together academia and industry to develop techniques for extracting actionable insights from social media streams during emergencies. This paper covers the second year of TREC-IS, hosted in 2019 with two editions, 2019-A and 2019-B, contributing 12 new events and approximately 20,000 new tweets across 25 information categories, with 15 research groups participating across the world. This paper provides an overview of these new editions, actionable insights from data labelling, and the automated techniques employed by participant systems that appear most effective

Examining the Risk Factors for Hospital Ransomware Attacks: A Qualitative Study

Ransomware attacks have started to affect the hospital industry and cause major disruptions in operations. There are at least five successful ransomware attacks that have affected hospitals. The only way they were able to regain access to their systems were to submit payment via bitcoin to the entity that conveyed the ransom or recover their systems from backups. In this study, we identified risk factors from published reports for hospital ransomware attacks. This study employed a qualitative review of published news articles and reports that discussed the events of the ransomware attacks. This exploratory method is appropriate for new and emerging topics and used to compare written text to established guidelines or models. We used the NIST Cyber Security Framework to code content and analyze information from journal articles, memos, blogs, research studies and white papers that contained information reported by the hospitals. Hospitals and media reports were not transparent in reporting detailed information surrounding the events of ransomware attacks. Overall, study results demonstrate that there are risk factors for hospitals to become targets for ransomware attacks
