| dc.description.abstract | At present computer-based systems are used by most of
the universities around the world but then, these systems
are still paper-based which involves physical paper
occurrence. Currently, most of the universities are
suffering obstacles in meeting management due to using
paper-based or semi-automated systems. A survey is
conducted that drafted some fundamental
characteristics required to implement a successful
paperless environment.
The paper describes the development of a prototype that
can be used in a mobile environment and a web
application using a barcode reading technique as an
identification token of an attendee for a meeting. The
gain in reduced work can in some cases be quite in-built
and, in some cases, needs to be analyzed. During the
development of the prototype, the author gained new
knowledge in mobile operating systems as well as
attendee -driven approach, which is important as the
meeting industry attempts to reduce the use of resources
by making it more attendee-driven.
This study was based on a total sample of 3 faculties in
the university of General Sir John Kotelawala Defence
University, Sri Lanka. The results of this study suggested
that university tends to focus more on perceived
convenience of use on conducting meetings and the
analyze attendances have more influence on intention to
use of meeting management system. The existence of a
paperless meeting management system can be achieved
presently than its application in the university system
with committed efforts by management and decisionmakers
in the general university system in Srilanka.So, it
could be concluded that providing more technological
facilities with infrastructure would increase the positive
attitude towards using meeting management system
among university systems and behavioral intent to use. | |
