    (Academic Conferences Limited, 2012) Oberer, B.; Erkollar, A.
    Cloud computing is a buzz word that is also spilling over into the education industry, which enables access to software applications, hardware, data, and computer processing power on the Web, rather than installing software onto one's computer or server.

Challenges for educators and institutions using cloud computing in teaching could be summarized under the following keywords: interoperability and transferability, terms and conditions, security and privacy issues, backup and perpetuity, denial of service and content issues. On a whole, some implications of using cloud computing need to be kept in mind, good understanding of the applications in use, development of guidelines for use and migration strategies as well as the implementation of risk management could allow educators and institutions to take advantage of cloud computing, in turn offering rich online learning experiences for students.

    Sustainable and Responsible Business: the Renewed Eu Strategy 2011-2014 for Corporate Social Responsibility
    (Int Business Information Management Assoc-IBIMA, 2012) Erkollar, Alptekin; Oberer, Birgit
    Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to companies that voluntarily go beyond what the law requires in order to achieve social and environmental objectives during the course of their daily business activities. The European Commission encourages companies to apply fair employment practices that respect human rights particularly where products come from outside the EU. In this contribution the activities of the European Union on Corporate Social Responsibility are analyzed focusing on the 2011-2014 strategy on Corporate Social Responsibility which was published in 2011 and corporate social responsibility reporting and disclosure. The results of the analysis revealed that the European Commission by publishing their new policy on corporate social responsibility intends to enhance positive and to minimize and prevent negative impacts in close collaboration with their stakeholders addressing different actions such as the establishment of sector-based platforms for enterprises and stakeholders to make commitments and jointly monitor progress. The promotion of social and environmental responsibility through the supply-chain and the disclosure of non-financial information are recognised as important cross-cutting issues.

    The Innovation Union Scoreboard: Helping Europe Become More Innovative
    (Int Business Information Management Assoc-IBIMA, 2012) Oberer, Birgit; Erkollar, Alptekin
    In this contribution we focus on the Europe 2020 growth strategy its targets initiatives and on EU tools on growth one of which is the 'Innovation Union Scoreboard' (IUS) which includes innovation indicators and trend analyses for the EU27 Member States and other countries such as the US Canada or Japan. The main focus of this analysis in progress is drawing a picture about the European 2020 strategy in the center of innovation and analyzing the IUS structure from its beginnings in 2007 up to the newest IUS report. The results of the analysis revealed that the IUS 2011 distinguishes between 3 main types of indicators and 8 innovation dimensions capturing in total 25 different indicators. The limitations of the IUS 2011 are that it does not capture the most recent changes in innovation performance or the impact of policies introduced in recent years which may take some time to impact innovation performance. It also does not fully capture the impact of the global financial crisis on innovation performance. Whether or not the European Commission was able to overcome the difficulties of IUS2011 will be highlighted in an upcoming analysis of the IUS 2012 report which will be published in 2013.
