• Sommario/riassunto: It has been widely reported that issues related to organizational context appear frequently in discussions of information systems success. The claim that the information system did not fit the behavioral context in an organization is often part of the explanation of why a particular information system encountered unanticipated resistance and never met expectations. While this context has been intensively studied, we still lack evidence on how this organizational context is affecting the success of information systems from a managerial action perspective. This type of managerial involvement is often neglected to the extent that it becomes a major obstacle to organizational performance. The objective of this book is to assist chief information officers and information technology managers on how to use their managerial actions to create a suitable cultural environment in the organization that leads to a successful implementation of information systems. The book will also provide guidelines for managers on how to create this organizational context, measure it, and make sure it leads to a successful implementation and use of information systems. The book's main theme is to explain how the behavioral context of an organization led by its managers and ; executives would lead to the success of the information systems function.

• Sommario/riassunto: The Asia-Pacific has become the Indo-Pacific region as the US, Japan, Australia and India have decided to join forces and scale-up their political, economic and security cooperation. The message coming from Washington, Tokyo, Canberra and New Delhi is clear: China's Belt and Road Initiative is no longer the only game in town and Beijing's policymakers better get ready for fierce competition. Japan's ongoing and future "quality infrastructure" policies and investments in the Indo-Pacific, in particular, make it very clear that Tokyo wants a (much) bigger slice of the pie of infrastructure investments in the region. ; China's territorial expansionism in the South China Sea and its increasing interests and presence in countries in South Asia have done their share to help the four aforesaid countries expand their security and defence ties. Beijing, of course, smells containment in all of this and it probably has a point. Who will have the upper hand in shaping and defining Asian security and providing developing South and Southeast Asia with badly-needed infrastructure: the US and Japan together with its allies or the increasingly assertive and uncompromising China and its Belt and Road Initiative?
