...OPTIONS ISTANBUL, 17-18 FEBRUARY 2006 CASE STUDY: UNIVERSITY OF BREMEN INTRODUCING A FUNDRAISING CULTURE: A DEMANDING AND ON-GOING PROCESS Winnie Abraham Spokesperson for the President, Head of Fundraising University of Bremen, Germany The case of Bremen will illustrate how important it is to have a clear understanding of the consequences of introducing fundraising activities on behalf of a public university BEFORE embarking on this trail. The process has a large impact on your university and - at least in the short run - no definitive results. The case will demonstrate the challenges, pitfalls and successes experienced while developing a fundraising concept and implementing it, starting with a change of mindset, which is needed from the people involved: Philanthropy is a philosophical attitude towards the world and not just another way of acquiring funds. You have to master the principles and techniques involved as well as being able to answer the question: Why does your university exist, what is your mission, why should somebody become a donor of your university? On the one hand you will realize how difficult it is to give a convincing answer and on the other hand, how many other organizations compete with you for people's wallets. While taking good advice from a US partner, the University of Bremen adapted it to its specific needs, objectives and culture. The case will pay particular attention to the issues related to anchoring the fundraising approach in the institutional...

This article shows the unique performance contribution of self-commitment in the context of cooperative internationalization of SMEs in several ways: First, we use a multiparadigmatic approach to cooperation theory to argue why self-commitment as a coordination mechanism is particularly relevant in the context of cooperative internationalization. Second, we develop a new operationalization of self-commitment which takes the context of international cooperations into account. Third, we show...

...have been concerned about creating, acquiring, and communicating knowledge and improving the re-utilization of knowledge. However, it is only in the last 15–20 years or so that a distinct field called “knowledge management” (KM) has emerged. KM is based on the premise that, just as human beings are unable to draw on the full potential of their brains, organizations are generally not able to fully utilize the knowledge that they possess. Through KM, organizations seek to acquire or create potentially useful knowledge and to make it available to those who can use it at a time and place that is appropriate for them to achieve maximum effective usage in order to positively influence organizational performance. It is generally believed that if an organization can increase its effective knowledge utilization by only a small percentage, great benefits will result. Organizational learning (OL) is complementary to KM. An early view of OL was “encoding inferences from history into routines that guide behavior” (Levitt and March, 1988, p. 319). So, OL has to do with embedding what has been learned into the fabric of the organization. 1 The Basics of Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning To understand KM and OL, one must understand knowledge, KM processes and goals and knowledge management systems (KMS). 1.1 Knowledge Knowledge is often defined as a “justified personal belief.” There are many taxonomies that specify various kinds of knowledge. The most fundamental...

...Response Sheet 33 Abstract IM is a text based, real time communication tool that has swept the world and altered how people interact with each other. It has created its own culture and ‘language’ and its effects can clearly be seen especially in teenagers. IM is a phenomenon that has countless effects on different parts of language, culture and society. This research aims to examine some of these effects based on one interview and questionnaires that were filled out by 25 young people. The key findings are drawn on the basis of responses given by respondents and the interviewee as well as the research done of the existing literature. Introduction By definition, instant messaging is a set of communication technologies used for text-based communication between two or more participants over the Internet or other types of networks. It basically offers real-time direct written language-based communication. Instant messaging falls under the broader term of ‘Online chatting’. This is because it is text-based, exchangeable in many directions, and occurs in real-time. However, what differentiates online chatting with IM is the fact that the former can take place between anonymous users while the latter mostly only takes place between people who are acquainted with each other. Instant messaging is an important means of communication in the present world. It is a form of communication that is particularly popular among young...

In today’s generation of rapid development, technology facilitates peoples’ lives and creates more comfort. It has remarkably improved the quality of life. Due to this transitory advancement, youngsters resort on finding information the easiest and most convenient way. It is in this era also that technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies.

...alike.” Philip Wheel Wright says- “Ethics is the branch of philosophy which is the systematic study of selective choice, of the standards of right and wrong and by which it may ultimately be directed.” Swami Vivekananda has set the tone for ethics. He says- “Supreme oneness is the rationale of all ethics and morality. Ethics cannot be derived from the mere sanction to any personage. Some eternal principle of truth has the sanction of ethics. Where is the eternal sanction to be found except in the only infinite reality that exists in you and us and in all, in the self, in the soul.” Discussion on ethics cannot be completed without Swami’s views on ethics. He suggested ethics as the degree of faith in oneself. 618 Law, Ethics & Communication Ethics comes from the attainment of freedom, renunciation, which comes only when the individual attain a superior strength....

...me-Commerce: An Infrastructure for Personal Predictive Mobile Commerce Andreas Komninos, Peter Barrie, Julian Newman, Stuart Landsburgh Department of Computer Science Glasgow Caledonian University Glasgow, UK [ako2, pba4, jne,slands10]@gcal.ac.uk Abstract Given mobile phone penetration statistics and current mobile phone technical specifications, it is apparent that in developed countries, the majority of citizens carry not just mobile phones, but true mobile computing devices. These devices are still primarily used for telephony, although information access is slowly emerging as a popular service on these devices. Despite the availability of network connectivity and device characteristics that make Information Access possible, this is currently generally confined to accessing the WWW. While useful, this method is not the best way of providing information access to mobile devices. This paper discusses current research in the use of mobile services and proceeds by presenting a background on an infrastructure for a focused information access application for mobile commerce. Through this background, we discuss the need for embedding multi-dimensional context awareness into the design of applications that provide dedicated, targeted and personalised information access to users, and describe the dimensional vectors necessary for the acquisition of contextual information. Further to this, the paper highlights the challenges that must be overcome in obtaining contextual information...
