The Impact of the Digital Alliance for NGOs via Digital Awareness Kiosks (Ethics Kiosks) Project: Towards Achieving Sustainable Development in Egyptian Society | Chapter 6 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 6

 

The digital revolution has transformed the way we live, work, and play. Digital technologies have brought immense benefits to individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. Digitalization, which is the adoption of digital technologies, has had a significant impact on the operations and activities of non-profit organizations. This paper aims to examine the effects of digitalization on non-profit organizations in terms of their communication, fundraising, and service delivery. The study draws on a review of the existing literature and analysis of case studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of these impacts.

 

The findings indicate that digitizing non-profit organizations has had several positive impacts including significant improvements in communication, reaching wider audiences and effective engagement with stakeholders, providing new revenue generation channels, and connecting with donors. Digitalization has also facilitated the delivery of services and reached more people in need. The paper also discussed the positive contributions that digitization can make to sustainable development, including increased efficiency, reduced resource use, new business models, increased access to education and healthcare, and improved environmental management. However, the adoption of digital technologies has also created new challenges for non-profit organizations, including the need to invest in technology infrastructure and manage data security, and privacy issues. e-waste, the digital divide, and cybersecurity challenges.

 

This paper provides an overview of the impact of digitalization on sustainable development and concludes with some recommendations on how to maximize the positive impacts of digitalization while minimizing the negative impacts.

 

The ethics kiosk project (the digital alliance for civil society) won first place in the national initiative in the Suez Canal region for the category of non-profit projects, as it is the first ERP system that combines operational and development departments and works on the governance of donations in receiving and disbursing them. It is a technical version of an ethics kiosk project which has been discussed before in a different scientific paper (Elgammal, 2023). It is the first in the Arab world to take care of all developmental and charitable aspects within the framework of the governance of administrative and accounting operations.

A Digital Infrastructure Perspective for Accelerated Rural Entrepreneurship | Chapter 8 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 8

 

Within the technological context associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as well as the technological implications of the Covid-19 pandemic, digitalization has increased. Given that rural entrepreneurs have traditionally lagged behind in many facets of competitiveness, the purpose of this study was to explore the question: How can digital infrastructure accelerate small business entrepreneurship in a rural community in the Eastern Cape Province? The study was based on a qualitative design related to participant observations and document analysis. Participating in a meeting between entrepreneurs, academics and Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) officials and analyzing the discussion areas and behaviours of participants allowed the objectives of the study to be achieved. It was found that virtual infrastructure development excited the respondents and inspired the business and developmental aspirations of participants. Participants provided that digital infrastructure development in rural Eastern Cape would foster economic development, close the digital divide, widen small enterprise development models, ensure inclusive economic participation and create new business opportunities. It was also provided that digital infrastructure creates entrepreneurial linkages that would promote business ecosystems in rural areas and foster general economic advancement in rural areas. This study resulted in the need to recommend government to increase digital support and investment in rural areas.

Performance Management for Effective Virtual Work Performance in the Higher Education Sector in the Eastern Cape Province | Chapter 1 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 8

 

Theoretical and empirical work on performance management has, over the years guided human capital management practices. In recent years, known practices for effective human capital management have been challenged and thrown into disarray owing to modification of the concept of ‘workplace’ which has been virtualized in many sectors such as the higher education sector. The purpose of the study was to investigate the question: How can performance management be implemented for better performance of academics at a university selected from the Eastern Cape Province? The study was inspired by the Resource-based Theory based on the need to create unique internal capabilities among human capital for unique performance. A typical university in the Eastern Cape that has significantly virtualized was considered and data was collected through document analysis related to the study of the performance management policy of the university and interviews with five Heads of Departments (HOD) at the University were conducted. The results showed that performance management in virtual work arrangements should arise from inspired psychological states in academics to meet certain societal needs through effective higher education. Specifically, it was found that in virtual higher education arrangements, academics and non-academics in the sector should be psychologically empowered to see the value of their independent contributions so that they become self-driven for better performance. It was also found in the study that performance rewards and personalized job satisfaction and self-motivation were important concepts for better performance. It is recommended that, as they virtualise, higher education institutions should promote empowerment and self-driven desires to perform through effective reward structures, individual motivation systems and employee recognition systems. There was evidence that these practices have become more important in the virtual context than ever.

Recommendations to Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses a Context for Small and Medium Enterprises in the New Normal | Chapter 12 | Managing Higher Education and Enterprises in Developing Countries Beyond COVID-19: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Business and Management Dynamics

The aim of this paper is to provide recommendations to entrepreneurs and small businesses emanating from the coronavirus disease – 19 (COVID-19) pandemic experience. The motive of this paper was based on how, during the COVID-19 pandemic entrepreneurs were confronted with the need to adjust to a changing economic climate. On the one hand, entrepreneurs were tasked with directing their businesses away from bankruptcy, while, on the other hand, had to deal with a pressing need to keep their businesses afloat in an environment marked by low discretionary income and customer uncertainty. These challenges were exacerbated by the lack of pragmatic business recommendations crafted to assist small business entrepreneurs in surviving business challenges which then prompted this inquiry. A conceptual approach was employed to review extant literature in the domain of entrepreneurship, while a philosophical inquiry was made with entrepreneurship scholars in business, to gain perspective into the lessons experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The procedure of inquiry was guided by the dictates of an exploratory research design. The derived insights show that in the new normal, entrepreneurs must be elastic to change and unexpected shocks, embrace the possibilities offered by digitalization, prioritize inclusiveness, and focus on creating sustainable growth through diversification.

Digitalization in Pharmaceutical Industry: A Recent Perspectives | Chapter 13 | Innovations in Science and Technology Vol. 5

 Any manufacturing industry's digitization is a vital step in the evolution of the manufacturing process. Increased usage of robots, automation solutions, and computerization are all part of the digitalization process, which results in cost savings, increased efficiency and production, and more adaptability to change. However, the pharmaceutical industry (PI) has been resistive to digitization, owing to a lack of experience and the complexity of the development and manufacturing procedures involved. Despite this, there is a definite need to digitalize PI, as demand for both traditional and novel pharmaceuticals continues to rise. CDMOs (Contract Development Manufacturing Organizations) have a unique digitalization problem. The primary features of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) should be closely linked to PI digitalization, and CDMO in particular, and success in PI digitalization necessitates a consistent focus on GMP. Another key thing to consider during CDMO digitalization is close communication with continually changing stakeholders. This article provides an overview of the key components of CDMO digitization and covers both the benefits and drawbacks of the process, with a focus on practical solutions for further digital implementation.

Study on the Economy and Food Security in the Arab World in the Midst of the Corona Crisis | Chapter 14 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 5

 The Corona pandemic, as bad as it appears, may provide an opportunity to revive local agriculture and alleviate a significant portion of food shortages, in which demography, among other factors, plays a key role in preserving informal employment on the black market that surrounds major Arab cities inhabited by tens of millions of people who have moved from the countryside to the cities in search of a better life. This represents a once-in-a-lifetime chance for all Arab governments to assist in the stabilisation of the rural population by making them a source of food security. Not to mention the fact that the Arab states are among the dry areas with fragile ecosystems due to their geographical location, we can think of investing in modern technologies, following expert recommendations, using rainfall skyscrapers, converting buildings into power generators, vertical farming, and innovation.

A Descriptive Study on Digital Classroom Enquiry System | Chapter 4 | Recent Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 3Recent Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 3

 

Digital world is the one wherein the ideas and the services are being exchanged through Online
medium. In this digital world everyone can get connected with every other person for the process of
communication. In the process of digitalization, we have emerged into a new concept of digital class
room. This digitalization can be extended outside the classroom which shall make the digital
classrooms even smarter. This problem has been overcome by the digital notice boards. Even the
exams are also being conducted taking online as the medium. In this chapter a system has been
proposed which uses a digital touch screen placed outside a classroom. This touch screen is the
communication medium between the students and the teachers. Many a times the notices which were
kept on the notice boards where torn or scrambled by the students and were not of any use to other
students. The display screen is designed in such a way that every detail regarding the classroom can
be viewed on the display. Just a glance at this digital touch screen enables the students to understand what is going on in the classroom. This screen is accessible to anyone. The home screen of the display is designed in such a way that it gives the glimpse of the events happening in the
classroom.
