This issue of the journal is Volume 30, Issue 4, and this issue is a special issue titled "The Impact of Information and Communications Technology on Innovation and Reform in Business Education". With the rapid innovation and advancement and large-scale application of information and communication technologies such as ubiquitous network computing, artificial intelligence and smart technology, and big data analysis, the original competition pattern, business model and management thinking of all enterprises around the world have changed. Enterprises develop operational strategies and Management policies must not only consider the advantages and threats that information and communications technology can create, but also corporate business thinking must continuously adjust and incorporate the forward-looking innovation and dynamic change characteristics of information and communications technology. Therefore, current business management education must also innovate and change simultaneously, including teaching methods, technology and Internet literacy, professional curriculum structure, teaching material design, teaching and effectiveness evaluation, technology integration into teaching, forward-looking technology application, etc., in order to be effective Cultivate professional business management talents with a holistic view, forward-looking technological and strategic thinking, and the ability to handle dynamic and complex decision-making problems. Therefore, the Taiwan Society of Business Education and Management collaborated with the Journal of Information Management to take "The Impact of Information and Communication Technology on Innovation and Change in Business Education" as the theme of this special issue. First, the author submitted the paper to the 2023 Fourth Business Education and Management Symposium and published it after review and revision. Then, the content of the paper was refined through discussions with conference participants. After 3-4 revisions, the content was made more complete. And meet the theme and quality requirements of this special issue
This issue of the journal is the second issue of Volume 30. The themes of each article are briefly described as follows:
Wang Weicong; Lin Yinglian; Wang JianqiaoDiscuss the key factors that influence university students to adopt game-based learning systems from the perspective of information feedback and technology acceptance model: taking electronic database-based formal teaching as an example ：Taking formalized teaching with electronic databases as an example: This study explores the key factors that influence the use of game-based learning systems to improve learning effectiveness. This study integrates the perspectives of information feedback, learning motivation, and technology acceptance model to develop a theoretical model that can be used to understand the effects of game-based learning systems. Data collected from 322 respondents were studied to validate the theoretical model. Research results show that information feedback and learning motivation significantly affect learners' cognitive learning effectiveness through learners' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of the game-based learning system. Relevant academic and practical contributions are also discussed in detail in this study.
Zhang Rencheng, Lai HuiminThe impact of robot programming education on computational thinking: bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review ：In order to understand the impact of robot programming education on computational thinking, this study used bibliometrics and systematic literature analysis of 70 articles in this field included in Web of Science and Scopus from 2006 to 2022. The findings are as follows: (1) The number of articles increased rapidly after 2016 Rising, with a compound annual growth rate of 40.04%. This field is gradually receiving attention and research is growing rapidly. (2) Bibliometric analysis found that the driving themes in this field include STEM and constructivism, the niche topics are teacher-student education, topic-oriented learning and unplugged activities, the emerging topics are visual programming, and the potential topics include primary school education, K- 12 Issues such as issues with young children. (3) Systematic literature analysis found that research methods in this field include experimental methods, qualitative research, literature analysis and survey methods, and explored the impact of different teaching methods on students' operational thinking. Operational thinking is widely used in many disciplines, and there are a variety of assessment methods to assess operational thinking skills. The majority of education systems in this field are K-12, followed by higher education. Most studies have confirmed that robot intervention in programming education has a positive impact on computational thinking.
Luo Xinyu, Lin Xinyi, Qiu ZhougangTRIZ innovation model in business management software application education ：Recently, companies are facing the ever-changing business environment, and business management simulation education software provides the necessary knowledge and skills for professionals who are interested in starting a business. However, content delivery challenges limit simulation software's performance, user engagement, and ability to adapt to the demands of a rapidly changing industry environment. This study explores the analytical application of TRIZ principles to business management education software with the aim of identifying opportunities for improvement and innovation. The results of the study propose how TRIZ can promote innovation in enterprise education technology, provide valuable insights, and illustrate how the proposed solutions can effectively face existing enterprise challenges.
Yue Xiuping, Lin Weizhen, Huang Chengying, Chen Jiahe, Shi YuanlingUsing network analysis method to explore information ethics education in business administration departments in Taiwan ：As the problem of improper use of information and communication technology continues to be frequent and serious, the School of Business and Management is also paying attention to the importance of information ethics in business education. Although more and more independent ethics courses are offered in business schools at domestic and foreign universities, the topics and perspectives are diverse and scattered. In order to understand the current development trend of information ethics education courses in the domestic field of business administration, this study collected a total of 1,267 ethics-related courses from 25 universities in Taiwan that have been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and analyzed the courses offered by business administration departments. A systematic content analysis of 325 ethics course syllabuses was conducted. Research results show that more than 70% are professional ethics courses, proving that the business management field is engaged in information ethics education in the context of corporate ethics, with "corporate social responsibility" as the teaching focus, case studies as a common teaching method, and course types include general In addition to compulsory elective courses, some also use service learning methods. This study provides immediate and comprehensive empirical research evidence for ethics education in the domestic business management field. The research findings can be used as a reference for the development of business management education and information ethics education.
