The Impact of Project Management on the Adoption of Emerging Media to Non-commercial Broadcasting Media Businesses in Hispanic Markets

Non-commercial radio broadcasting organizations are experiencing a significant loss of audience based primarily on migration to digital media outlets. The ineffectiveness of developing new media, such as podcasts, to reach new audiences and expand new business opportunities is reducing the chances of survivability for a hard-regulated radio sector established by the Federal Communications Commission regulations. A major new media integration exists in the non-commercial radio broadcasting industry in Puerto Rico, and inquiries into the knowledge and application of Project Management tools and techniques present on the management level of Hispanic markets help understand the occurrence. The performed study integrated a qualitative research method with a single study approach to increase comprehension and improve knowledge of how radio broadcasting managers handle audience migration from an efficiency perspective. Inquiring into the decision-making and operational problem of non-commercial radio broadcasting firm managers’ points of view resulted in a better understanding of the limitations and ineffectiveness of web-based platform media development. The participants’ answers showed relevant data that should help radio broadcasting businesses develop new media, such as podcasts, as part of their product offerings and expansion opportunities. The findings include themes such as lack of formal education, training needed, lack of urgency, knowledge of project management methods, and limited planning to develop new media

IMPROVING OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT THROUGH SILO INTEGRATION

The purpose of this action research study was to leverage the experiences and perceptions of academic administrators at Mountain State University to disrupt the negative aspects of silo-based decision-making within closing the loop assessment practices. Siloed operations naturally begin to operate in contradiction to one another and often to the detriment of the organization. Focusing specifically on siloed operations across academic schools at Mountain State University, this study reveals issues of inefficiency and redundancy, and develops intervention strategies in an effort to improve closing the loop assessment efforts. These strategies include structural changes leading to a more integrated assessment model calling for greater attention around the use of assessment results. Implications for siloed assessment practices in academic settings are discussed

Semantic discovery and reuse of business process patterns

Patterns currently play an important role in modern information systems (IS) development and their use has mainly been restricted to the design and implementation phases of the development lifecycle. Given the increasing significance of business modelling in IS development, patterns have the potential of providing a viable solution for promoting reusability of recurrent generalized models in the very early stages of development. As a statement of research-in-progress this paper focuses on business process patterns and proposes an initial methodological framework for the discovery and reuse of business process patterns within the IS development lifecycle. The framework borrows ideas from the domain engineering literature and proposes the use of semantics to drive both the discovery of patterns as well as their reuse
