This study focuses on the challenge faced by business-to-business public relations practitioners who work to encourage the adoption of e-business applications among small manufacturing firms. While the adoption and use of e-business applications have been increasingly encouraged in the manufacturing industry, research indicates that smaller firms are less likely to adopt and use technology unless they perceive beneficial characteristics. This study presents results from a survey of 157 small manufacturing firms in Louisiana to determine how they perceive e-business applications based on characteristics defined in the diffusion of innovations theory. The findings indicate that the adoption and use of e-business applications among small Louisiana manufacturing firms are driven by perceptions of external pressure from customers, the relative advantages that the technology will bring to their company, and the ability of their company to overcome perceived barriers. Recommendations are presented based on the results of this study, showing practitioners how they can apply these findings to public relations efforts promoting the adoption and use of e-business applications for small manufacturing firms. 4 2 INTRODUCTION: THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY Business-to-business public relations practitioners face a changing and competitive environment, which requires the development of more sophisticated communication skills (Hartley & Patti, 1988). Electronic business applications are playing major roles in reshaping the way business-to-business relationships are managed and conducted worldwide by inventing new value propositions, transforming the rules of competition, and mobilizing people and resources to unprecedented levels of performance (Tapscott, Ticoll & Lowy, 2000). The Internet has become one of the most important media for sharing business information among

Some politicians are accused of misusing language and are derided in conse- quence as shallow and inept. Others, in contrast, are accused of using it all too well, of being too clever by half, with the consequent insinuation that they are skilful and dangerous manipulators of the mind. But to what degree do those doing the accusing – principally the press – use the same techniques or are guilty of the same transgressions? In this work we look at numerous examples of how politicians use the mechanisms that the language provides to practice the oldest of democratic arts, the art of persuasion. At the same time, by analysing these mechan- isms, we can hopefully learn how, when necessary, to resist their power. Many of the texts and examples to be found in this volume were taken from the Web.

  • Towards Understanding the Information Ecosystem Through the Lens of Multiple Web Communities Arxiv:1911.10517V1 [Cs.SI] 24
    Towards Understanding the Information Ecosystem Through the Lens of Multiple Web Communities Savvas Zannettou A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Cyprus University of Technology. arXiv:1911.10517v1 [cs.SI] 24 Nov 2019 Department of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Informatics Cyprus University of Technology November 26, 2019 Abstract The Web consists of numerous Web communities, news sources, and services, which are often ex- ploited by various entities for the dissemination of false or otherwise malevolent information. Yet, we lack tools and techniques to effectively track the propagation of information across the multiple diverse communities, and to capture and model the interplay and influence between them. Further- more, we lack a basic understanding of what the role and impact of some emerging communities and services on the Web information ecosystem are, and how such communities are exploited by bad actors (e.g., state-sponsored trolls) that spread false and weaponized information. In this thesis, we shed some light on the complexity and diversity of the information ecosystem on the Web by presenting a typology that includes the various types of false information, the involved actors as well as their possible motives. Then, we follow a data-driven cross-platform quantitative approach to analyze billions of posts from Twitter, Reddit, 4chan’s Politically Incorrect board (/pol/), and Gab, to shed light on: 1) how news and image-based memes travel from one Web community to another and how we can model and quantify the influence between the various Web communities; 2) characterizing the role of emerging Web communities and services on the information ecosystem, by studying Gab and two popular Web archiving services, namely the Wayback Machine and archive.is; and 3) how popular Web communities are exploited by state-sponsored actors for the purpose of spreading disinformation and sowing public discord.

  • Teaching, Curriculum and Learning
    Teaching, Curriculum, and Learning Julie Sutherland Chapter Overview Core Topics and Sample Writers: Texts and Contexts 2 Books and Articles on Teaching Seventeenth-Century Literature 6 The Internet 7 Films 9 Final Words 10 Even though a vast majority of university students have reached higher edu- cation with at least some exposure to Shakespeare, instructors often find it a challenge to encourage their students to connect with what they deem his archaic language and equally antiquated themes. Instructors may also find that students have less exposure than they had anticipated and that in fact what they had thought would be familiar, possibly even child’s play, turns out to be very new and very daunting. When students encounter seventeenth- century literature by writers other than Shakespeare, instructors will find undergraduates are one further step removed from any level of familiarity, interest, or enthusiasm. However, once students begin to understand the con- text of the pieces, including the glittering court-culture, blood-soaked vio- lence, and disease-ridden cities this literature often describes, and once they find themselves relating to the original spectators’ and readers’ frequent lust for vice, spectacle, and titillation (as well as to the equally frequent sense of sin and desire for redemption and elevation), twenty-first century minds begin to appreciate the literature’s recurring themes and puzzling language. Fortunately, a wealth of tools can help instructors of seventeenth-century literature build and sustain student interest. These include numerous digital resources, dozens of films, and myriad paper publications. A sampling of all 1 these resources will be provided below.
