This paper contributes to the literature on cybersecurity governance by suggesting an approach based on pragmatism. As Jeffrey Sachs in his The Age of Sustainable Development, 2015, reminds us: “The essence of sustainable development in practice is scientifically and morally based problem solving”. Cybersecurity deals with problem solving in complex socio-technical settings where ethics and organizational learning are tightly related. The paper draws on pragmatism because from its earliest formulation, pragmatist thought was anchored to a dual interest in ethics and science. Under this lens, pragmatic ethics cannot exist as a set of rules or principles, but rather requires a cyclical, empirical process whereby ethical principles and context interact to promote justice among stakeholders in the research of reliable solutions during the unravel of critical events. As a result, an Ethically oriented Cybersecurity Approach (ECA) based on Pragmatic Ethical Reasoning (PER) is proposed for managing unexpected critical events when organizations must learn on-the-fly and improve their security profiles.

Compared to other popular sports, soccer is quite a fluid sport with high degrees of freedom, which is why
evaluating games or single players' performance is more demanding and complex. Even though the
availability of different types of soccer data has increased steadily over the last few years, the process of
strategic and tactical decision-making is still traditionally done by single specialists. In this context, the
potentials of big data analytics (BDA) provide an advantage in automatically assessing and assembling data
from various sources and generating insights that exceed the analytical capability of individual human
experts. We focus on this potential by developing a design science research-based BDA artifact, which aims
at providing strategic decisional support for managers and experts. In several evaluations with different
soccer and sports experts, we are able to show advanced usability of the artifact's instantiation over
traditional tools provided by large stats providers.

Digital technologies play a dual role on organizational resilience. On one side, digital systems introduce new technological risks. On the other side, digital systems increase the performances in response to hazardous accidents. Normal Accident Theory (NAT) and High-Reliability Organization (HRO) provide useful ground to explain the dynamics of digital resilience. However, the two theories have been either used as alternatives or with one theory dominating the other. We posit that to fully understand digital resilience we need to integrate NAT and HRO
concepts instead of using them in isolation. We conduct a bibliometric analysis to identify major themes and application domains characterizing HRO and NAT research. We look at similarities and differences between the two streams and we build an integrated framework for the analysis of digital resilience. With our systematic analysis of the NAT and HRO discourses we advance the current understanding on resilience in digitally enabled operations.

Here in this work a simple and direct method to synthesize Rubik’s cube-like Linda Type (LTA) zeolite NaA structure is reported. Linda Type (LTA) zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal method without using any organic template additives. The molar ratio of 3.165Na2O:Al2O3:1.926SiO2:128H2O have been used to prepare the zeolite NaA hydrogel. The thermal stability of the synthesized zeolite NaA was studied through the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the crystallinity of the synthesized zeolite is good and the material is of high purity. Through the FTIR study, functional groups belonging to the zeolite NaA was confirmed. From the FESEM analysis, morphology of the synthesized sample was found to be Rubik’s cube-like structure. The elemental composition of the material was studied using the EDAX analysis and the ratio of Si:Al was found to be ∼ 1. Further from the SAED patterns of the prepared sample, it was observed that the material is polycrystalline in nature. From the nitrogen adsorption/desorption results the zeolite NaA samples was found to be mesoporous in nature. The pore size of the samples have been obtained using the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) analysis. The CO2 adsorption isotherm study was carried out at 298 K and the isotherm was fitted by using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
As software products increasingly become part of larger ecosystems, research and development (R&D) units of software producers organize themselves around projects to become more responsive to the environment. Organizations participating in software ecosystems must continuously adapt and adjust their software development and maintenance processes to drive both medium-term and long-term innovation. Agile methods and practices are widely adopted to guide the collaboration within and between project teams in software development. Moreover, when successfully attained, agility can drive innovation by enabling software development organizations to cope with technological changes and exploit emerging opportunities in software ecosystems. In this article, we focus on how organizations attain agility in the maintenance and development of software products. To answer this question, we conduct a longitudinal case study of Agile Scrum implementation in the R&D unit of a major supplier of telecommunication equipment. We investigate the emerging tensions and highlight practices used to balance these tensions in the Agile Scrum implementation. We identify four capabilities and ten practices that support effective collaboration and coordination in the development and maintenance of software products. The study offers practical guidance for R&D managers to attain agility in software ecosystems.
