Key Factors for the Implementation of Technologies Supporting Talent Management

Authors
Ferreira, HR; Santos, A; Mamede, S;

Publication
Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics

Abstract
Although implementing technologies is a continuous practice observed in organisations, many need help to achieve successful implementations and recognise its impact on their operations and outcomes. Therefore, this review paper aims to present the critical success factors that organisations consider when implementing technology in the Talent Management field. A comprehensive understanding of the technological implementation phenomenon requires adopting a strategic perspective. Consequently, this literature review centres on three clusters: challenges organisations are addressing (Challenges), the technological capabilities and the implementation/adoption process (Technology) and the expected impact (Impact). Findings indicate that a central area of research is the integration of technology in recruitment and, particularly, in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises. Digital Transformation, the Industrial Revolution, and a more diverse workforce are challenges that organisations face. Organisations aim to streamline Human Resources Management (HRM) practices, prioritising data-driven decisions. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

Proposal for a Cybersecurity Framework for the Digital Transformation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Mozambique: Position Paper

Publication
World Journal of Information Systems

Abstract
With the advent of Information and Communication Technologies in recent decades, organizations face several challenges today. Adopting Digital Transformation (DT) offers numerous opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to improve their efficiency and operations, reaching new markets, shareholders, and customers. However, there are potential risks associated with this process. With Digital Transformation, the radius of connectivity and interconnection between devices and systems increases in Mozambique and worldwide, creating more significant space cyberattacks. As Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) connect to the digital world and move forward with adopting innovative digital technologies, they become more vulnerable to digital security risks. Hence, managing digital security risks effectively is crucial to realising the benefits of Digital Transformation. This position paper proposes to present the research work that will culminate in the proposal to develop a framework that fits Mozambican Small and Medium Enterprises through a Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, which can help to assist Mozambican Small and Medium Enterprises in the Digital Transformation (DT) process.

SHORT: Evaluating Tools for Enhancing Reproducibility in Computational Scientific Experiments

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2ND ACM CONFERENCE ON REPRODUCIBILITY AND REPLICABILITY, ACM REP 2024

Abstract
Ensuring the reproducibility of computational scientific experiments is crucial for advancing research and fostering scientific integrity. However, achieving reproducibility poses significant challenges, particularly in the absence of appropriate software tools to help. This paper addresses this issue by comparing existing tools designed to assist researchers across various fields in achieving reproducibility in their work. We were able to successfully run eight tools and execute them to reproduce three existing experiments from different domains. Our findings show the critical role of technical choices in shaping the capabilities of these tools for reproducibility efforts. By evaluating these tools for replicating experiments, we contribute insights into the current landscape of reproducibility support in scientific research. Our analysis offers guidance for researchers seeking appropriate tools to enhance the reproducibility of their experiments, highlighting the importance of informed technical decisions in facilitating reproducibility across diverse domains.

Characterisation of Dansgaard-Oeschger events in palaeoclimate time series using the matrix profile method

NONLINEAR PROCESSES IN GEOPHYSICS

Abstract
Palaeoclimate time series, reflecting the state of Earth's climate in the distant past, occasionally display very large and rapid shifts showing abrupt climate variability. The identification and characterisation of these abrupt transitions in palaeoclimate records is of particular interest as this allows for understanding of millennial climate variability and the identification of potential tipping points in the context of current climate change. Methods that are able to characterise these events in an objective and automatic way, in a single time series, or across two proxy records are therefore of particular interest. In our study the matrix profile approach is used to describe Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events, abrupt warmings detected in the Greenland ice core, and Northern Hemisphere marine and continental records. The results indicate that canonical events DO-19 and DO-20, occurring at around 72 and 76 ka, are the most similar events over the past 110 000 years. These transitions are characterised by matching transitions corresponding to events DO-1, DO-8, and DO-12. They are abrupt, resulting in a rapid shift to warmer conditions, followed by a gradual return to cold conditions. The joint analysis of the delta 18O and Ca2+ time series indicates that the transition corresponding to the DO-19 event is the most similar event across the two time series.

Roadmap for Implementing Business Intelligence Systems in Higher Education Institutions: Systematic Literature Review

INFORMATION

Abstract
Higher education institutions (HEIs) make decisions in several domains, namely strategic and internal management, without using systematized data that support these decisions, which may jeopardize the success of their actions or even their efficiency. Thus, HEIs must define and monitor strategies and policies essential for decision making in their various areas and levels, in which business intelligence (BI) plays a leading role. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) aimed at identifying and analyzing primary studies that propose a roadmap for the implementation of a BI system in HEIs. The objectives of the SLR are to identify and characterize (i) the strategic objectives that underlie decision making, activities, processes, and information in HEIs; (ii) the BI systems used in HEIs; (iii) the methods and techniques applied in the design of a BI architecture in HEIs. The results showed that there is space for developing research in this area since it was possible to identify several studies on the use of BI in HEIs, although a roadmap for its implementation was not identified, making it necessary to define a roadmap for the implementation of BI systems that can serve as a reference for HEIs.
