Abstract Enabled by the development of information technologies, telecommuting and telework have been incorporated into organizations for around 30 years. However, there still exists resistance to this work arrangement, particularly from middle-level managers. Formal knowledge about how to manage telework is needed to keep the managers better informed. I conducted a qualitative exploratory study to investigate how managers exercise controls in the telework environment and examined the role of the use of information technologies in organizational controls in this work environment. Based on interview data with people from two work groups that participate in telework program, I found that the managers exercise a portfolio of controls that consist all four documented control forms (outcome, behavior, clan and self control), and controlling the employees’ adoption and use of information technologies is a new form of behavior control in the telework environment.

The majority of all organizations are small and middle size companies in Lithuania. Information technologies are one of the most important parts of enterprise even if IT is not core business. It’s needed to support company’s information systems in order to achieve high effectiveness of IT. The goal of this work is to propose IT support recommendations orientated to small and middle size Lithuanian companies. The recommendations are based on ITIL, CobiT and quality management standard ISO 9001:2000. This work presents support stages and required software for collecting and storing needed information and monitoring the system’s performance. This software can perform described tasks with minimum consumption of resources. Proposed recommendations are not related to core business and organization’s IT. They can be applied by organizations with support they IT by themselves and by IT support outsourcing companies.

The goal of this research is to create a modern computer system, which allows to trace a parcel location at any time and inform the consignor by sending an email or SMS. The client can by himself on the Internet, set the period for receiving messages to his email or telephone. The software will send information about attempted delivery times for the parcel to the consignee and his name and adreess. The system comprises the from following subsystems – order management system, transport management system, exception reporting, track and trace, warehouse management system, data warehouse and connectivity – information backbone. The office of exchange manager needs to know if a registered bag was not received on time, without looking through information on all bags arriving. Client needs to be informed that important parcels arrived when they arrived, without having to constantly look for it via the Internet. The answer is the modern paradigm of "Alert" and wireless communication. At the basis of the system is a set of definitions of events, targets, physical units and messages – alert definition, display and messages.

The main goal of this work is to analyze existing popular software size estimation and project completeness schedule methods and models, find advantages and disadvantages, try to combine them for using together, searching for common properties. The combination of these methods and models will give a new model, which will be tested with experimental research.

Internet in recent years has changed quite a lot, usual static user interfaces poorly satisfy user's requirements or do not at all. That is why there is a need to analyze a new breed of internet presentation-level technique – rich internet applications (RIA). Main RIA technologies and several internet projects were analyzed in this thesis. Macromedia Flash technology was chosen because of its flexibility, multiplatform implementation, rich user experience, good integration among various server technologies. An experimental system named Ferry transport booking system was built using Macromedia Flash technology and implemented with Microsoft server technologies. Experimental research of this project is described; a comparative analysis of rich internet application and simple static interface advantages is provided.

The aim of this study is to answer the questions: Are abilities to use modern information technologies gives new possibilities for children who have visual disability? Can use of this technologies help to impel integration and inclusion process and decrease social isolation? 82 pupils were involved to the research and all they are visually impacted. After that research we can do such main conclusions: 1. Modern information technologies help to communicate with friends and family, who are far away from them and get more information. In this way technologies decrease social isolation. 2. Learning in special school separates children from their family and community. About half of children wish to learn in general school and live at home. 3. Modern information technologies help to find new friends and choose new and more various professions.

Sparčiai formuojasi informacinė visuomenė. Vis daugiau žmonių, dirbdami savo kasdienį darbą, naudojasi informacinėmis technologijomis. Nuolatos tobulėjančios technologijos siūlo naujus problemų sprendimo būdus, virtualios mokymosi aplinkos siūlo naujas mokymosi galimybes, internetas tampa vis aktualesniu kasdieninio gyvenimo elementu tiek darbo, tiek informacijos paieškos terpe. Šiame kontekste informacinės technologijos vis labiau veikia mokymo ir mokymosi metodus, daro poveikį ne tik mokymo turiniui, bet ir visam ugdymo procesui. Nagrinėjant ugdymo įstaigų vadovų ir pedagogų informacinių technologijų naudojimo kompetencijas buvo atliktas tyrimas, kurio metu stengiamasi atskleisti esamą pedagogų ir mokyklos vadovų padėtį žinių amžiuje, ištyrinėti jų informacinių technologijų naudojimo kompetenciją, išsiaiškinti, su kokiomis pagrindinėmis problemomis susiduria šiandieniniai pedagogai ir mokyklų vadovai, numatyti kompetencijų tobulinimo galimybės. Tyrimo išvadose konstatuota, kad informacinių technologijų naudojimo kompetencija, būdama bendrosios kompetencijos dalimi yra žinių, gebėjimų, požiūrių, vertybių, asmenybės komplekso išraiška, atsiskleidžianti asmens veikloje ir turinti įtakos sėkmingiems veiklos rezultatams. Tyrimas nustatė, kad vadovų kompiuterio naudojimo įgūdžiai geresni negu pedagogų. Tačiau...

Successful factor of the performance of each company or organisation is a well and adequately organised management and record keeping of personnel. At present, the staff administrating the personnel records of the National defence system of Lithuania (hereinafter - NDS) for recording and analysis of personnel data users Baltpers information system for personnel account for NDS. The analysis carried out in the Master‘s paper proved that the data controls and functions implemented in Baltpers system do not correspond with certain needs of the NDS personnel specialists. The Master‘s paper suggests practical implementation of the specific needs of the users. It suggests applying Visual Basic for Application programming language with the help of which is easily assimilated and inexpensive composition of software of personnel data analysis and controlling subsystem. Such system might be used by personnel specialists of NDS, as well as military finance and logistics specialists, who use personnel data for carrying out their tasks. This subsystem will provide an opportunity for users to verify the personnel ID, form top-down organisational title of the NDS, calculate personnel work standing, analyse and check staff occupation on the basis of selected survey parameters.
