Abstract
Process analysis techniques supported by diagrams and process models have been used at least since the 1920s. While some of these techniques have become part of the standard repertoire of an information system analyst, others have been neglected or forgotten. In this talk, I will shed light on early techniques, such as described by Nordsieck, and trace the development of those fields that today are known as business process management and visual analytics. Based on a comparison of these fields, I identify potential synergies that can inspire innovations and future research directions for visual process analytics.

Abstract
We consider whether traders are more likely to commit securities violations when trading at home, a new form of working induced by the Covid pandemic. We examine data pre- and post-Covid, during which some traders were unexpectedly forced to work at home. The data indicate the presence of both a treatment and a selection effect, such that those working at home exhibit fewer misconduct cases. Work at home is associated with fewer cases of trading misconduct, although no difference in communications misconduct. The economic significance of working from home on trading misconduct is large for both the treatment and selection effects.

Bridging the Digital Divide in Ethnic Minority Older Adults: An Organisational Qualitative Study

Jyoti Choudrie
Hertfordshire Business School, United Kingdom

Brief Bio
Professor Jyoti Choudrie holds the position of Professor of Information Systems at University of Hertfordshire. She has extensive years’ experience specialising in investigating the social inclusion and adoption of Information and Communications Technologies on society’s ‘marginal groups’, the adoption, use and diffusion of innovative Information and Communication Technologies in Small to Medium Size Enterprises and large organizations. This is based upon the principles and mechanisms of variables taken from the theories of diffusion, adoption, usage and implementation in the social, organisational and government realms and how they can be brought to fruition using modern internet related technologies; for instance, Broadband, Smartphones and online social networks to guide and improve individuals experiences of modern technology. This was achieved due to sponsored research funding schemes-Royal Academy of Engineering, Microsoft and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and consultancy projects with organizations such as, British Telecom and AoL. To ensure that her expertise remains in the area, she has written for established journals such as, European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS), and Journal of Information Technology, and published a Routledge research monograph titled “Management of Broadband Technology Innovation”. She is also one of the four Editors in Chief of Information, Technology & People journal.

Abstract
This presentation aims to explore and understand the digital divide in older adults when accepting and using smart devices within an organization. Using an in-depth single case study, the digital divide is explored and understood using technology-mediated learning for older adults when using smart devices; ie. tablet devices. The case study is based on a group of educated, older Indian adult volunteers at a local Punjabi radio station. A qualitative approach used the data collection techniques of interviews, observations, informal conversations and reference to archival documents and interpretivism for analysis. Our findings revealed that older adults with ailments have shorter lives, contrary to popular perception, can be very active in their communities, are able to use basic IT and are willing to use technology when it leads to significant tangible or intangible benefits without considering the remaining time of their lives. Contributions for policymakers and industry are also offered in this presentation.
