However, scholars have noted that the acceptance and utilisation of e-government systems by citizens in Zimbabwe and Zambia is affected by many factors, among others, perceived privacy, perceived security, perceived trust, perceived risk and optimism bias.

Gascoyne’s approach focuses on providing the customer with all the necessary information to make a buying decision, serving customer values such as convenience, educational marketing and guaranteed fulfilment. keywords: advertising; customer; entertainment; information; internet; products; site; value; web cache: sajim-99.pdf plain text: sajim-99.txt item: #722 of 725 id: sajim-990 author: None title: sajim-990 date: None words: 4319 flesch: 36 summary: For improved organisational performance, knowledge management barriers must be removed with the assistance of management.

In contrast, this research sought to empirically establish the reliability, face value validity, content validity, and convergent and divergent validity of underlying success factors for ODT initiatives previously suggested in the literature. keywords: business; customer; digital; et al; factors; initiatives; leaders; odt; research; success; technology; transformation cache: sajim-995.htm plain text: sajim-995.txt item: #725 of 725 id: sajim-996 author: None title: sajim-996 date: None words: 8044 flesch: 41 summary: Khatri, V. & Brown, C.V., 2010, ‘Designing data governance’, Communications of the ACM 53(1), 150–152. https://doi.org/10.1145/1629175.1629210 Koltay, T., 2016, ‘Data governance, data literacy and the management of data quality’, IFLA Journal 42(4), 303–312.
