“…Fourth, while this paper has highlighted the value of IoT skills in determining individuals' needs satisfaction, practitioners should also bear in mind that IoT is an emerging technology influenced by several issues spanning from legal, social, cultural, technological and marketoriented issues (Ghaffari et al, 2019a). Thus, training in schools and campaign to raise awareness about IoT usage and best practices alongside the precautions and inherent dangers should be championed by IoT device producers and government institutions (Ghaffari et al, 2019b).…”

PurposeThe authors’ understanding of the Internet of things (IoT) skills and needs satisfaction for IoT devices and generational cohorts' variations remains limited as commentaries are often oversimplified and generalized. This research fills a gap in the literature by highlighting the dynamics between the IoT skills and needs satisfaction for IoT devices and seeks to expound on the variations among generational cohorts using the self-determination theory.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were obtained from 1,245 residents and IoT device users in Aksaray, Turkey. The obtained data were analyzed with variance-based structural equation modeling and the analysis of variance technique.FindingsThe results demonstrate that IoT skills determine the needs satisfaction for IoT devices. Generation Xers, Generation Yers and Generation Zers are distinct cohorts with respect to the IoT skills and needs satisfaction for IoT devices.Originality/valueCollectively, this study provides empirical evidence that informs the debate about the contributions of IoT skills and generational cohorts on needs satisfaction for IoT devices. The implications and several avenues for future theory-building research are discussed.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-04-2020-0144

Traditional lighting systems have many disadvantages such as energy efficiency, failure tracking and lack of remote control. These disadvantages cause unnecessary energy consumption, extra labor, security threats and lack of follow-up. To overcome these problems, in this study, instead of traditional lighting, an IoT-based smart lighting prototype was developed and computerassisted control was performed. In order to ensure energy efficiency, the light intensity of the street lamps was adjusted according to the intensity by taking data from the motion sensors. Data such as fault tracking and density obtained from LED armature sensors were transferred to the cloud and controlled independently of the venue. Thus, the data on the cloud can be easily tracked through the ThingSpeak platform. With the visualized ThingSpeak web interface, the electrical power, current drawn, temperature value, ambient light value, location information, motion detection and remote switching of the LED armature can be done independently of the location. This study contributes to the literature on the usability and infrastructure of smart street lighting, both theoretically and practically.

“…On the contrary, Seppä lä and Mattila, 2016 argues that technologies such as blockchain may be exploited for future crimes and terror attacks. The wireless communication of IoT devices can be secured through the blockchain technology (Ghaffari et al, 2019). Hines (2017) considers blockchain as a transformative technology for higher education.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to discuss the possibility of setting up a platform for inclusive policymaking process drawing upon the blockchain concept. The study posits that blockchain also has great potentials in non-financial applications, such as in policymaking, where there is a need for bottom-up approaches with more decentralized, distributed and evidence-based processes. Design/methodology/approach The study makes use of an analogy-based creative design methodology. The design science paradigm has its roots in engineering and the sciences of the artificial (Simon, 1996). As a problem-solving paradigm for solving complex engineering issues, design science seeks to create innovations that define the ideas, practices, technical capabilities and products through which the analysis, design, implementation and use of information systems can be effectively and efficiently accomplished. In the present study, the policy development theories and the logic of blockchain are synthesized to prepare a task model for the “IdeaChain” concept as a platform for creating, sharing and validating novel ideas as well as converting them into policies or new ventures through the funding mechanisms. Findings The IdeaChain concept is designed and demonstrated through its use in the domain of science, technology and innovation (STI) policy, which can be extended to cover all innovative activities linking the whole process from their emergence, funding, development, implementation and impact upon policy. Originality/value Blockchain is mostly discussed in literature with its impact on financial sector. IdeaChain is the first attempt to explore the potentials of blockchain in STI policymaking.
