Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organizations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture.This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: 1) Digital-nomad enterprise; 2) Corporate-collectivism; 3) Well-being-oriented; 4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education.The nine challenges and four patterns of transformation actors serve as a starting point for organizations in supporting technological choice and strategic interventions, based on individual, group, and organizational behavioral levels. Moreover, five propositions, based on the competing concerns of these challenges, establish a framework for comprehending the ecosystem that enables rapid digital transformation. Strategies, prerequisites, and key factors during the (digital) technology development process benefit the cyber-society ecosystem. As a practical contribution, Q-methodology was used to investigate perspectives on digitalization challenges during the pandemic.

E-government projects provide many advantages and offer benefits to governments and their citizens. Hence, the big issue and challenge for governments are how they can increase citizen adoption. This has resulted in the development of many e-government initiatives that aim to enhance the provision of public services to citizens and improve associations with industry and world business. It is shown that there are critical success factors and barriers in e-government adoption, and technology adoption more generally, which identifies the fact that current e-government adoption models do not adequately explain the needs of citizens. Based on the diagrammatic of a detailed structure of review methodology, existing studies show that national culture, trust, the information system success model, and knowledge services are very crucial issues for citizens regarding new system application in the successful uptake of e-government services. Therefore, this article presents a review of the generic end-user adoption of e-government services based on a theoretical perspective and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology model. Furthermore, this article presents a conceptual model as a better foundation for the development of e-government. The findings of this article will contribute to the limited e-government adoption literature available by providing insights into end users’ perceptions of e-government services.

The rapid development of information and communication technologies had a positive impact on the government to provide better and efficient services to the community. Despite some criticisms of electronic government services (e-gov), its utilization has continued to improve. The citizens need to be placed as customers at the center of the development and provision of public services. User satisfaction may indeed have the decisive influence in adopting and using egov services. This research modifies unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to improve user satisfaction and provide a solution for governments and to rethink the strategy for presenting a better model. A quantitative study has been conducted to describe the model and formulate sufficient indicators to measure user satisfaction. Furthermore, the measurement model was tested using the data from the questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to discover the goodness of fit underlying models and indicators. Based on the results, we find that privacy and performance expectancy showed positive performance effects on the intention to use e-gov services. Finally, the results of this study are also expected to be an input for stakeholders for the development of egov in the future.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected and communicating nodes. Recent developments in IoT have led to advancements like smart home, industrial IoT and smart healthcare etc. This smart life did bring security challenges along with numerous benefits. Monitoring and control in IoT is done using smart phone and web browsers easily.  There are different attacks being launched on IoT layers on daily basis and to ensure system security there are seven basic security requirements which must be met. Here we have used these requirements for classification and subdivided them on the basis of attacks, followed by degree of their severity, affected system components and respective countermeasures. This work will not only give guidelines regarding detection and removal of attacks but will also highlight the impact of these attacks on system, which will be a decision point to safeguard  system from high impact attacks on priority basis.

Public services such as Open Government Data (OGD) already become a new trend for the people and it has been recognized that OGD not only accelerates the development of digital technology but also substantially boosts economic growth and contributes to improve of sustainable economies. Whereas nearly all scholars are receiving an hopeful see of OGD, there are the issues where that numerous governments are cautious and indeed hesitant to open their information. This study proposes a theoretical framework of obstacle to OGD that seeks to identify, understand and qualify barriers in the release of OGD in Indonesia and then can be adopted as a basis for empirical investigation. This study applied literature analysis combined with the interview approach. The findings identified 10 barriers to the release of OGD in Indonesia that emerged in the following two main themes: institutional barriers and information quality barriers.
