My name is Ioannis C. Drivas and I was born on 13th of March 1992 in Dhermatianika Village of South Laconia, Greece. I received my B.Sc. in Library Science & Information Systems in the Faculty of Management & Economics of the Technological Educational Institute of Athens in December 2014. My Bachelor Thesis related with the creation of a sustainable strategic communicational model for improving relationships among individuals in Information Science Organizations.
In June 2017, I received my Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) in Information Systems at Linnaeus University in the Department of Computer Science and Information Technology. My Master Thesis related with the improvement of Visibility and Accessibility of web services based on Search Engines’ contribution. The duality of this educational background was a solid stepping stone for publishing several scientific papers on international journals and conference proceedings based on my up to then research interests.
My current professional experience related with the Web Mining & Data Analytics sectors. Other previous job experience related with the Organization of International Scientific Conferences on Strategic Innovative Marketing sector, plus also on Informatics & Data Mining sector. Moreover, I had been working with the Indexing & Documenting in Academic Libraries and Data Management Specialization. As regards my up to then research interests they focused on Strategic Digital Communication, Search Engines, Web Analytics, Web Mining and Predictive Modeling with the usage of research tools in the Decision Making sciencific topic.edit

In this research paper the authors highlight the importance of Search Engine Optimization of a company’s website in order to improve its visibility in the global ranking of websites. Firstly the authors implement a SEO analyzing tool for the identification of rectifications that need to be done for the augmentation of website’s visibility. In the next step the recommendations that SEO analyzer indicated implemented and completed improving in this way the overall SEO rating. Thereafter, a Dynamic Simulation Modeling process takes place for the estimation of the proper time and way of spending company’s resources for the augmentation of website’s visibility. The model predicted and estimated that the total satisfaction of a decision maker regarding this return on investment is gradually increased as each one of these recommendations implemented in a specific way of resources’ distribution, strengthening the final decision in order to adopt such a digital marketing tool in decision maker’s quiver.

This research seeks to demonstrate the effectiveness of communication strategies and practices from decision makers to employees in the Information & Communication Technologies organizations. The purpose is the creation and eventual promotion of a communicational model that embraces best practice relative to overall team effectiveness. By placing decision makers and em-ployees in the center of attention, we examine relations among several communication and team ef-fectiveness practices in ICTs sector. Employees’ recognition, the motivation of exchange and sharing information, clear vision of goals and objectives for employees, and the troubleshooting effectiveness of team, are some of the major factors that indicate the relationship between Communication Strate-gies and Team Effectiveness. Via the application of a cross-cultural quantitative methodological tool in more than ten countries with a response rate more than 69%, we evaluate communicational strate-gies that decision makers adopt and their impact in Teamwork Effectiveness in the sensitive sector of ICTs.

This research process is focused on the analysis of three axes which are Fair Treatment, Team Effectiveness, and Job Satisfaction of employees and decisionmakers who are occupied in Nonprofit Organizations. Nowadays, the reduced financial flexibility imposes a careful delimitation of strategic communication that is implemented by Nonprofit Organizations. The aim is to examine a strategic communication process for a sustainable entrepreneurial environment. More specifically, this research attempts to find a possible correlation between the personal perception of each employee regarding the level he treated fairly in the working environment (Fair Treatment) and the
existence of an effective team into which the employee feels he is a part of (Team Effectiveness). The purpose is to draw conclusions on how these two factors impact on the Job Satisfaction of the employee or decisionmaker.
The possibility to have correlations among the above axes can be operated as a feedback to highlight strengths and weaknesses of Nonprofit Organizations to their decision makers.

The commercial success of customer behavior and characteristics must be outweighed by the appropriate strategic planning. One
of the most important criteria for the sustainability of a company is to minimize possibilities for making an incorrect decision. In
addition, high importance shows the correct quantitatively dissemination of company resources with a vision of potential
development.
In this research approach there is an effort to design a dynamic simulation model. This model has been designed to minimize
chances for receiving an incorrect decision, as well as the determination of channelling company resources at the right time in the
right quantity creating in this way the proportional feedback resources for an organisation.

While attempting decision-making in leadership, one of the criteria that should be considered is the actual
behavior of the leader towards the work group. The object of this study is the prevalence of two key leadership models,
the Task Behavior and the Relationship Behavior. Firstly, the leader’s behavior is focused on completing the project
combined with a leadership style which is more interventionist and less conciliatory. The second leadership model
focuses on working relationships, developed between leaders and employees. In this case, the character of the model is
associated with a leadership behavior more supportive, motivating and participative. This article refers to the
characteristics of the two models and the mechanisms and strategies that can be adopted in both leadership behaviors.
Furthermore, through the research which took place, we have come to conclusions regarding the public's views about the
different leadership behaviors and, also, the possibility of combining the two styles of leadership.

The World Wide Web provides a well standing environment in any kind of organizations for exposing online products and services. However, no one ensures that web products or services which provided by organizations or enterprises, would receive the proper visibility and accessibility by the internet users. The process of Search Engine Optimization examines usability in design, architecture and content that an internet-based system has, for improving its visibility and accessibility in the web.
Successful SEO process in an internet-based system, which is set under the paternity of an organization, ensures higher recognition, visibility and accessibility for the web services that the system provides to internet users. The aim of this study characterized with a trinity of axes. In the first axe, an internet-based system and the web services that provides is examined in order to understand its initial situation regarding its visibility and accessibility in the web. In the second axe, the study follows a user-centric approach on how and in what way the examined system could be improved based on its users’ needs and desires.
After the encapsulation of needs and desires that the users expressed as regards the usability of the system in design, architecture and content, the third axe takes place. In the third axe, the extracted needs and desires of users are implemented in the under-examined system, in order to understand if its visibility and accessibility has improved in the World Wide Web.
For the completion of this trinity of axes, the Soft Systems Methodology approach is adopted. SSM is an action-oriented process of inquiry which deals with a problematic situation from the Finding Out about the situation through the Taking Action to improve it.
Following an interpretative research approach, ten semi-structured interviews take place in order to capture all the participants’ perceptions and different worldviews regarding of what are the changes that they need and desire from the examined system. Moreover, in this study, the conduction of three Workshops, constitute a cornerstone for implementing systemically desirable and culturally feasible changes where all participants can live with, in order to improve system’s visibility and accessibility in the internet world.
The results indicate that the adoption of participants’ needs and desires, improved the levels of usability, visibility and accessibility of the under examined internet-based system. Overall, this study firstly contributes to expand the knowledge as regards the process of improving the visibility and accessibility of internet-based systems and their web services in the internet world, based on a user-centric approach. Secondly, this study works as a practical toolbox for any kind of organization which intends to improve the visibility and accessibility of its current or potential web services in the World Wide Web.
