This research study seeks to understand the nature of organisational change with respect to offshore outsourcing of information technology services in a multinational pharmaceutical company, and to examine the effectiveness of approaches used to manage this change so that lessons may be drawn from these experiences Despite the abundant literature озщмм on effective organisational change management, the key factors that need to be managed properly at different stages of the offshore outsourcing process are not well understood The research adopts a processual view to paint a broad picture of the issues involved in these different stages A generic process model of change, based on the review of the change literature, was first developed to represent how change was intended to occur This model focuses on the following four stages in the change process: context, diagnosis and planning, implementation, and institutionalisation The research employs an interpretive case study approach and draws on fieldwork from three independent information systems departments (cases) of the company, where offshore outsourcing programmes were implemented Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews, direct observation and document analysis are analysed by applying the generic process model to produce a detailed account of the way in which change was managed in the case organisations The findings reveal that a combination of contextual factors, both external and internal to the company, influenced the adoption and use of offshore outsourcing in the case organisations Externally, the economic forces were found to be the main catalyst for the change, while internally the role of the executive leadership and the lack of internal resources further explain the motivations behind the adoption of offshore outsourcing The study illustrates that achieving successful outcomes from offshore outsourcing activities critically depends on the organisation adequately addressing a number of factors, such as conveying a sense of urgency, developing and communicating the vision, identifying the benefits of change and how they will be delivered, generating short-term wins, providing education and training, developing a fit between the change and organisational culture, etc , throughout the change process The findings also highlight the effects of offshore outsourcing on the case organisations, including change in job roles and responsibilities and organisational learning activities that enable corrective actions to improve change management efforts An important contribution of this research is the development of a model providing a more comprehensive understanding of the change process associated with the implementation of offshore IT outsourcing Recommendations for policy makers and change managers to improve change management practice based on the research findings, as well as recommendations for further research, form a significant part of the conclusions. 2009 г Мягкая обложка, 188 стр ISBN 1599427095.

Book DescriptionValidation of programmable architectures, consisting of processor cores, coprocessors, and memory subsystems, is one of the major bottlenecks in current System-on-Chip design methodology A critical challenge in validation of such systemsis the lack of a golden reference model As a result, many existing validation techniques озщно employ a bottom-up approach to design verification, where the functionality of an existing architecture is, in essence, reverse-engineered from its implementation Traditional validation techniques employ different reference models depending on the abstraction level and verification task, resulting in potential inconsistencies between multiple reference models This book presents a top-down validation methodology that complements the existing bottom-up approaches It leverages the system architect’s knowledge about the behavior of the design through architecture specification using an Architecture Description Language (ADL) The authors also address two fundamental challenges in functional verification: lack of a golden reference model, and lack of a comprehensive functional coverage metric Functional Verification of Programmable Embedded Architectures: A Top-Down Approach is designed for students, researchers, CAD tool developers, designers, and managers interested in the development of tools, techniques and methodologies for system-level design, microprocessor validation, design space exploration and functional verification of embedded systems. 2005 г 180 стр ISBN 0387261435.
For many decades Japan enjoyed great success with its export-oriented economy and the outsourcing of its foreign policy to the United States under the US security umbrella Its role in the world was simple, and times were good But times have changed: With the end of the Cold War, a shrinking domestic population, global instabilities after 9-11, the озщну financial crisis, and other seismic shifts, Japan now faces a more complicated world In this groundbreaking and provocative discussion, three foreigners who have lived and worked in Japan – a Canadian, a Frenchman and a Spaniard – argue that Japan has much to gain by pursuing a more engaged, outward-looking, multilateral posture in its region and globally While the country will continue to enjoy good relations with the West, the time has come for Japan to embrace its Asian heritage and future, as well as its own potential contribution to world affairs A globally engaged, more open Japan, the authors argue, is win-win-win: good for Japan, good for Asia, and good for the world If Japan is truly to become a global citizen, however, it must not only reach out more to the world, it must also admit more of the world – new ideas, people, and capital from afar – on its own soil But is Japan - are Japanese - prepared to do so?. 2009 г Твердый переплет, 336 стр ISBN 1843313111.
