Cultural diversity and cross-cultural management are significant issues among GSD teams. In software development projects, mentoring dramatically reduces the learning curve for novice human resources. Due to the large amount of electronic communication instruments, a remarkable number of different e-Mentoring concepts have emerged, which provides opportunity for mentoring that would not otherwise be possible. This chapter presents key success factors to enable e-Mentoring as a tool to develop a common culture in GSD scenarios. These success factors enable the correct application of mentoring programmes and the use of this to build a common culture in organizations that perform GSD. © 2014, IGI Global.Book Part Online Social Networking and Romantic Relationships(IGI Global, 2022) Metin-Orta, IremWith the increased popularity of social media, social networking sites (SNSs) have received the attention of many scholars. In particular, researchers have focused on the impact of SNSs on interpersonal relationships. Accordingly, this chapter provides an overview of the extant literature concerning associations between the use of SNSs and romantic relationships. It provides empirical evidence on how social networking behaviors are influenced by adult attachment styles, and how social networking influences relationship constructs such as satisfaction, commitment, jealousy, and relationship dissolution. Furthermore, it presents previous research that emphasizes gender as a moderator in these relations. This chapter overall contributes to researchers and professionals in providing information on online social networking and emphasizing key romantic relationship constructs related to the use of SNSs. It also provides suggestions for future research. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Editorial Preface(IGI Global, 2020) Esiyok, E.Book Handbook of Research on New Media Applications in Public Relations and Advertising(IGI Global, 2020) Esiyok,E.As competition between companies increases, the need for effective public relations and advertising campaigns becomes imperative to the success of the business.

Metrics are indicators of software fault-proneness and advanced models using machine learning can be provided to the development team to select modules for further inspection. Most fault-proneness classifiers were built from product metrics. However, the inclusion of process metrics adds evolution as a factor to software quality. In this work, the authors propose a process metric measured from the evolution of software to predict fault-proneness in software models. The process metrics measures change-proneness of modules (classes and interfaces). Classifiers are trained and tested for five large open-source systems. Classifiers were built using product metrics alone and using a combination of product and the proposed process metric. The classifiers evaluation shows improvements whenever the process metrics were used. Evolution metrics are correlated with quality of software and helps in improving software quality prediction for future releases.

Despite the positive impact and increasing global usage of new media applications, some countries have low new media applications penetration when others have high. This should be analyzed and evaluated within the countries' own macroeconomic and institutional dynamics. Dynamic motives as institutional, macroeconomic, infrastructural, and political factors heavily divined and also easily damage the current and future conditions of the countries. This work conceptually and concretely investigated the role of specific factors. Macroeconomic factors are determined as population, GDP growth rate, and population rate of the countries. Institutional factors are evaluated through political stability index, rule of law index, and civil liberties index of each sample country. Infrastructural factors, business environment, and investments were analyzed with looking at international internet bandwidth per internet users and competitiveness data for countries. © 2023 by IGI Global.
