With the increasing possibilities of providing services to employees through Internet and Intranet applications, Human Resource professionals just need to click once or twice and a specially designed HR website leads to the required information. Employees would no longer be held responsible for the operational and administrative HR activities. Electronic-Human Resource Management (e-HRM) is the engine for pushing down the costs of any company and making it profitable. Information technology has been identified as an impetus of HR's transition to becoming a strategic business partner. In this study, we extend this work one step further and explore the role of information technology in shaping the competency requirements of HR professionals.

At a symposium called Converged Digital Media in Winnipeg Wednesday, Dean Staples, a senior technology specialist at MTS Allstream, suggested when it comes to digital media convergence, "sometimes people don't know what they want until they are shown something new.
We want to build an ecosystem and create a bridge to leverage our own technologies," said Len Dacombe, director of TRLabs' Manitoba operations. "There are lots of creative, smart companies in Western Canada that we can bring to the table and create business for them."
"What typically happens with the small companies is that they don't get their phone calls returned," said Robert Tasker, Calgary-based CEO of TRLabs. "Why? Because there is a huge overhead in dealing with the small companies in relationship management, IP (int...

The impact of the Internet on how and when individuals decide to adopt new products and services remains a critical yet under examined topic. This research examines the linkage between Internet use and the new product diffusion process through the examination of a very large, detailed, Internet usage dataset. Our 12-month longitudinal analysis of 34,731 customers' Internet related behaviours indicates that the introduction of Internet based services is positively correlated with expedited adoption behaviour. Customers that utilized a company's Internet related service innovations were over twice as likely to adopt the company's new product offering during the first year of introduction. We conclude by discussing the implications and need for additional research.

The National Research Council is Canada's principal research and development agency. Its 20 institutes are structured to address interdisciplinary problems for industrial sectors, and to provide the necessary scientific infrastructure, such as the national science library. Behavioural scientists are active in five institutes: Biological Sciences, Biodiagnostics, Aerospace, Information Technology, and Construction. Research topics include basic cellular neuroscience, brain function, human factors in the cockpit, human-computer interaction, emergency evacuation, and indoor environment effects on occupants. Working in collaboration with NRC colleagues and with researchers from universities and industry, NRC behavioural scientists develop knowledge, designs, and applications that put techno...

Today, there is a solution to this challenge. Language translation software offers organizations innovative and expanding possibilities. Translation technology has advanced to the point where it can offer a trusted, reliable level of translation quality that conveys meaning quickly and accurately. By dramatically lowering the cost of translation while still delivering translation quality, automated translation software offers a range of opportunities inconceivable just a decade ago.
Language Weaver, one of the leading developers of translation software, commercialized a statistical approach to automated language translation and natural language processing. This breakthrough technology overcomes the weaknesses that have limited commercial success for automated translation in the past and...

A relational model of information literacy (Bruce, 1997) has been used as a framework for examining national policies, teacher education, curriculum integration, and assessment issues relating to information literacy and lifelong learning. Initiatives by a range of stakeholders are included to illustrate shared responsibility and support for the educational goals. Successful development of the information and communications technology capacity in schools and extension of technological skills of teachers have yet to be matched in teacher education by explicit, systematic attention to the broader requirements of information literacy. National curriculum documents imply an intention to ensure that information literacy continue to be embedded in essential learning areas, but indications are...
