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.

Americans love "this year's model," relying on the "new" to be always "improved " Enthusiasm for the new, says Stanley Buder, is essential to American business, where innovation and change stoke the engines of economic energy To really understand the history of business in America, he argues, we must understand озщйъ the intertwining dynamics of social and business values In a history spanning over three hundred years, Buder examines the enveloping expansion of the market economy, the laggardly use of government to modify or control market forces, the rise of consumerism, the shifting role of small business, and much more He concludes with the explosive development of business in the 1990s and its aftermath of crises and scandal Along the way, he analyzes the ways American social values foster an entrepreneurial ethos and why the identification of change with progress provides a distinctive and provocative theme in American life Buder studies American business as not only an engine of wealth accumulation but also an important generator and reflector of American values Capitalizing on Change is the first full-length business history in recent years to make this relationship clear.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 568 стр ISBN 0807832316.

Health promotion is an increasingly high profile aspect of a nurse's role - both in line with health policy and as nursing has shifted from a disease model to a health model This textbook explores how and why health promotion works in nursing, developing a new framework for understanding the nurse's role and promoting evidence-based practice Drawing озщйэ on empirical research and discussing existing theories of health promotion and of nursing, Stewart Piper identifies three principal approaches: The Nurse as Behaviour Change Agent; The Nurse as Strategic Practitioner; and, The Nurse as Empowerment Facilitator The book describes the aims, processes, impact and outcomes of health promotion interventions in nursing for each of these models and identifies criteria for evaluating the associated nursing interventions - enabling clinical judgements about effective practice Evidence-based examples demonstrate the relationship between health promotion theory and pragmatic applications for nursing throughout and each chapter includes an introduction, learning outcomes and exercises, making this an essential book for all nursing students studying health promotion.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 256 стр ISBN 0415462630.

The meltdown in the credit markets, the decline in housing prices, and the turmoil in the stock market has rocked the world of the everyday investor The idea that home ownership and the stock market are the best long-term investments suddenly has been thrown into question Bearish investment experts are touting historical research that suggests озщкй both real estate values and the stock market could stagnate for years to come, thus imperiling the retirement planning of millions of Americans In The Bull Inside the Bear, investment manager and former Federal Reserve economist Rob Stein argues that the economy is entering uncharted water and investors need to actively manager their portfolios to take advantage of new opportunities and avoid risky sectors No longer can investors simply rely on a "buy and hold" strategy The key will be to stay nimble and be ready to increase stock holdings if the economy recovers strongly and be ready to substantially reduce stock holdings if the current problems continue to weigh down economic performance Moreover, investors must be open to weighting their portfolios in favor of hot sectors depending on economic and financial market performance Stein argues that it will take several years for the credit markets to stabilize following the crash of the Greenspan-driven credit expansion, which will make investing far more volatile and unpredictable than previously But by adroitly moving in and out of exchange-traded funds, individual investors will be able to prosper in this new and challenging investment environment.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 203 стр ISBN 0470402202.

A bold and vital book that asks and answers the most urgent question of today: What Would Google Do? In a book that's one part prophecy, one part thought experiment, one part manifesto, and one part survival manual, internet impresario and blogging pioneer Jeff Jarvis reverse-engineers Google—the fastest-growing company in history—to discover озщпб forty clear and straightforward rules to manage and live by At the same time, he illuminates the new worldview of the internet generation: how it challenges and destroys, but also opens up vast new opportunities His findings are counterintuitive, imaginative, practical, and above all visionary, giving readers a glimpse of how everyone and everything—from corporations to governments, nations to individuals—must evolve in the Google era Along the way, he looks under the hood of a car designed by its drivers, ponders a worldwide university where the students design their curriculum, envisions an airline fueled by a social network, imagines the open-source restaurant, and examines a series of industries and institutions that will soon benefit from this book's central question The result is an astonishing, mind-opening book that, in the end, is not about Google It's about you.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 448 стр ISBN 0061719919.
