This paper presents a techno-economic evaluation of combined UMTS and WLAN operator business case spanning years 2002-2011. The study is based on the work by the TONIC project [1] under the European Union IST (Information Society Technologies) programme [2]. The study provides a framework to compare all the main factors affecting the UMTS operator’s business case and evaluation of the WLAN prof...

Research has shown that techno-entrepreneurship is economically significant. Therefore, it is suggested that teaching techno-entrepreneurship may be important because such programmes would prepare current and future generations of learners to recognise and act on high-technology opportunities. Education in technoentrepreneurship may increase the knowledge of how to start one’s own enterprise an...

Although information and communication technologies is beneficial for improving employee performance, frequently learning new technologies or extensively using technologies to work in non-working hours may lead to an increase of employee’s techno-invasion. However, little is known whether techno-invasion, a technostressor, causes employee job anxiety. Also, it remains unclear “when” techno-inva...

Widespread interest in composting as a means of municipal sludge treatment began in the early 1970s, and has i n c r e d dramatically since that time. In 1984, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiated a technology evaluation of municipal sludge composting based on investigations at five o p erating facilities.' The facilities studied generally processed sludge reliably and effe...

In the workplace, technology can cause stress (“techno-stress”), which can erode the very productivity gains sought by the introduction of the technology. To treat this problem, our field must gain a more complete understanding of the factors which cause techno-stress, and of factors which may reduce technology-induced stress. This research-in-progress considers whether computer experience can ...

Johnson and Puplampu recently proposed the ecological techno-subsystem, a refinement to Bronfenbrenner’s theoretical organization of environmental influences on child development. The ecological techno-subsystem includes child interaction with both living (e.g., peers) and nonliving (e.g., hardware) elements of communication, information, and recreation technologies in immediate or direct envir...

Techno-Entrepreneurship referred by many as ‘Technology Entrepreneurship’ usually denotes a vehicle or means to facilitate prosperity in individuals, firms, regions, and nations. The study of techno-entrepreneurship therefore, serves an important function beyond satisfying intellectual curiosity. Technoentrepreneurship lies at the heart of many important debates, including those around launchin...
