This paper presents a new approach to utilize technology in a practical and meaningful manner within a smart home system that can be widely deployed into residential settings. In the modern world, people are rapidly turning to technology as a fast and cost-effective way of improving quality of daily living. This primary goal is to address the needs of the end user by employing networked low-power sensors sensitive to the environment, so it can be altered to their liking. The proposed system consists of following steps: direct environment sensing, collecting and analyzing data and then allowing user to customize the settings and initiate specific commands. This research will present the design and implementation of a practical and simple smart home system, which can be further extended. The system is based on: group of sensors, Raspberry Pi device as a server system and Bluetooth as a communication protocol. These devices can be easily controlled via user-friendly interface for Android phones. The main advantage of the proposed system is that it is a sensible, secure and easily configurable system that provides end users with a neat home automation solution.
Purpose
This paper aims to discuss relationship management in business-to-business (B2B) ecosystem of electronic media. The goal of this research is twofold. First, the goal is to understand and model the impact of customer relationship management technology adoption on B2B relationships. Second, the authors investigated how trends in e-business and partner relationship management (PRM) affect partner relationship quality in public broadcasting.
Design/methodology/approach
This study deals with the impact that relationship capability, relationship fulfillment, operational PRM, analytical PRM, social PRM and readiness to adopt new e-business models produce on relationship quality of a public broadcaster. The research was conducted on a testing sample of 78 participants. All the participants were representatives of the Serbian public broadcaster’s business partners.
Findings
Results revealed that relationship capability, analytical and social PRM have a significant impact on relationship quality. In addition to this, the survey suggested that activities such as organizing social events, developing new services, personalization and tailoring of services could improve PRM outcomes.
Practical implications
The results aim to help practitioners to enhance their relationships with stakeholders and maximize the total outcomes of those relationships. Specifically, managers and practitioners doing business in the field of electronic media could benefit from the presented results.
Originality/value
Significance of the paper is reflected in the fact that it analyzes innovative concepts and technologies. Conclusions and recommendations put forward in the paper could serve as a good basis and framework for other public broadcasters, particularly for those from the developing countries.
