EDUCATION

PhD: The research objectives of my Ph .D project held at Salford University, Salford Business School, Informatics Research Institute were to understand the need to increase the demand for mobile government services for citizens (G2C-C2G), businesses (G2B - B2G) or even the government (G2G).

A wide range of Analytical Techniques were employed by econometric tools such as SPSS and others to calculate demand models. The core structure of the research will be collaborated with other European Universities.

Lecturer Dr. David Kreps is my Supervisor. Dr David Kreps is Director of the Faculty of Business, Law and Built Environment Development and Enterprise Unit.

M.Sc: The Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Program of Studies on ECONOMICS and MANAGEMENT of TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS (National University of Athens) is an inter-scientific program that aims on filling the gaps of the education, the research and the development around the new tendencies of telecommunications that combine the technological, economical, institutional, administrative and social dimensions.

The on-line services that are observed the last decade from the various enterprises to their customers, begin to pass little by little in the constitutional level via the benefit of service from government owned organisations to the citizens. Nowadays, we become continuously more proficient on mobile technologies and also on the services that are provided. This precisely is the object which will this survey present analytically a) the several technological choices b) the services that are provided for the citizens c) the strategy that the state must follow d) the available forms of financing and finally e) the problems and also the profits that can appear through this the way of governing. This was the topic of my M.Sc dissertation. The M.Sc dissertation title was: Mobile Government – Need, Transfer Methodology – Applications and priorities under Ass. Professor Panagiotis Georgiadis (ex- General Secretary Public Administration and e-Government for Ministry of Development). The M.Sc dissertation was classed Excellent 10 in scale of 1-10.
