Kazeem Oluwakemi Oseni and Dr. Kate Dingley University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom Abstract E-Government activities are still very low in Nigeria, a lower middle-income country, and this is hindering E-Service adoption. E-Service is inextricably linked to E-Government and they will not develop separately, but as one progresses the other moves forward. Having a new technology like E-service opens new opportunities for government, private and public sectors. Despite the fact that the new technology will not be without a hindrance, the overall benefits of using outweigh its lapses. Nigeria has overtaken South Africa as top Africa economy. There is still more to be done in increasing the revenue of the country, reducing the huge external debt owing the World Bank. Furthermore, there is a need to sustain the new status as top economy in Africa. There are many unresolved problems like corruption. This leads to a slow movement of files in offices, embezzlement, electi...

ABSTRACT  In this study, a method to simulate Gartner’s hype cycle [1] is proposed. A search of the academic literature on this topic provides no clear guidance on how to draw hype cycle curves with mathematical functions. This article explores a new process for simulating the curve as a combination of bell-shaped curves and S-shaped curves, and applies this process to some high-tech innovations in Japan. Trends in technologies such as customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), and cloud computing are analyzed by using a corpus of 4,772 newspaper articles. For these examples, Gompertz functions show better fit than logistic functions. For the combined curve, polynomial functions of degree 9 provide the best fit, with adjusted R-square values of more than 0.97.

Hussain Wasly1 and Dr Ali AlSoufi2 1Asia e University, Malaysia 2University of Bahrain, Bahrain  A BSTRACT  Despite the large investments in the field of e-Government (e-Gov) around the world, little is known about the impact such investment. This is due to the lack of guidance evaluation, absence of appropriate tools to measure the impact of e-Gov on the private sector, as well as the lack of effective management to resolve or eliminate the barriers to e-Gov services that led to the failure or delay of many projects. This paper is primarily concerned in determining the impact of e-Gov services on the private sector. A combination of Modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), DeLone and McLean's of IS success will be utilized as a research model and e-Gov Economics Project (eGEP) framework to measure “Efficiency, Democracy & Effectiveness impact” for G2B services. The research result will help e-Gov decision makers to recognize the critical factors that are res...

Hazardous waste is the major factors causing pollution and degradation of environment. It is such waste with a chemical composition or other properties that make it capable of causing harm to humans and other life forms when mishandled or released into the environment. USA (United State of America)is developed country but facing tough time to secure the life from hazardous waste. Dealing with such problem is not easy task for the hazardous waste management officers because all parties have their own opinion and views which is difficult to put all together at once. Even it is tough task to gratify all concern parties but researcher always try to come up with new...
