Information technologies as a basis for the modernization of Russian intellectual resources
This article is an attempt to validate the development of information technologies (IT) as a source for forming the core innovative trend, i. e., creative power, and upgrading national intellectual resources. A particular attention is paid to the possibilities of adopting IT in the national education system, distance learning, and accumulation of data resources. A number of measures is offered to make IT development more socially oriented and integrate national sciences, education, and industry with international innovation institutions as fast as possible. A conclusion is made that essential innovative principles must be urgently adopted to ensure further development of the Russian economy, improve its competitiveness, and upgrade intellectual power.
A study on security strategy in ICT convergence environment
In the knowledge and information society, the value of utilizing ICT technology in companies is being newly interpreted upon the convergence of business and information technology of companies. Accordingly, companies are ensuring corporate competitiveness by improving product productivity and reducing the consumption of human/physical resources through the change of strategic management environment using ICT technology. On the other hand, companies’ core information is being leaked outside of company from the convergence with ICT technology and its scale is increasing each year. Accordingly, the need for improving the level of security according to companies’ informatization level is increasing. However, studies are lacking on the composition of security strategy in suitable forms according to the scale of company and level of retaining resources. Accordingly, this study examined the security advancement steps to verify the present condition of companies’ security and design security strategy from a macroscopic perspective by improving the level of security according to the scale of company and present condition of resources.
Monte Carlo properties of spatial dependence LM tests
This paper compares the power and size of both spatial one-directional and robust to local misspecification LM test using Monte Carlo techniques under different set ups. Confirming the results found in Anselin et al . (1996), under local misspecification the robust LM test improves its size and power of tests. However, under no misspecification, the robust LM test is severely penalized and the usual one-directional LM test has a much better performance.
