    Privacy & Security in Mobile Devices, Social Network Services as Related to Business
    (IEEE, 2019-03-11) Harshanath, S. M. B
    Mobile computing has made it extra easy to maintain contacts either away from home or office. These mobile computing devices are mostly meant to increase productivity in the place of work. Yet, the benefits can easily come along with a good amount of risks too. Business operations require human resources and systems and we cannot do without them in our business operations. Therefore, it is time for professionals engaged in security tasks to consider challenges to information security before considering awareness programs for workers to treat information security as a highly valuable attribute. These awareness raising programs could create attitudinal changes towards risk management with regular use of mobile devices. But, of course, rules and regulations require time to come into effect. Self-awareness brought in with attitudinal changes, takes no time. Nowadays, with the IoT (Internet of Things) it is possible to monitor use of mobile devices, moving around buildings and automobiles. This, in turn, demands robust security systems.

    Effects of child’s pester power in the parent’s purchase decisions in relation to fast moving consumer goods market in Sri Lanka
    (Business Research Unit (BRU), 2021) Wasala, W. M. A. S. M; Ravindran, N; Bandara, W. A. S. C; Pratheepan, T; Jayasuriya, N. A; Munasinghe, A. A. S. N
    For decades, the Pester Power of a Young Consumer has piqued interest, providing new areas of research for interested parties. The goal of this research is to look into the involvement of the kid in the decision-making process of parents in Sri Lanka's fast-paced consumer goods market. The study is based on a thorough review of the literature in the topic of interest, which included evaluating publications to find elements that contributed to the emergence of pester power. The exploratory discovery shows a concept indicator model that reveals three distinct factors: demographic, socio-psychographic, and informative. Due to the scarcity of factors being examined in the Asian region, notably in Sri Lanka, there is an empirical gap. More study is needed to validate the indicator model and learn more about the phenomenon's impact on parent purchasing behaviour. This is the first time a study like this has been carried out in the Sri Lankan market. Despite the fact that Sri Lanka has a very traditional culture that places a high value on group norms and social acceptance, confirming a collectivistic culture in which children are expected to be subservient, there is a new wave of incredibly energetic, more informed young children who make their own consumer decisions. The majority of empirical research focuses on children's increased participation in family purchases and their conversion into active consumers in a rapidly developing market in Southeast Asian countries.
