This research is a case study conducted at the Financial Services Authority on the implementation of a data governance framework based on the model from The Data Management Association in 2017. The purpose of this study is to produce a data governance framework in managing integrated Financial Services Sector data. This study uses a qualitative approach in describing data governance activities. The research instruments were interviews, questionnaires, and content analysis. The results show that data governance frameworks provide guidelines for various parties to act in accordance with the strategies that have been developed. Data governance program at the Financial Services Authority requires further improvements in the form of establishing a data governance charter, assessing the maturity level of data management capabilities, defining the operational framework, adjusting the roadmap, establishing a change management team, creating mechanisms and procedures for handling data problems, and developing tools and techniques which supports the entire data governance program.

El gobierno de datos (GD) asegura que los datos cumplan con las expectativas del negocio, reduzca costos de gestión, protección y desarrolle los datos como un activo estratégico y de valor. En Colombia, el Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (MinTIC) ha entregado una herramienta conceptual para que las entidades públicas puedan adoptar la Arquitectura TI Colombia, definiendo lineamientos y guías para facilitar su entendimiento y aplicación. Este artículo tiene como Objetivo: Caracterizar el alcance de los marcos de referencia para facilitar la implementación del GD establecido por MinTIC para las entidades públicas. Metodología: El proceso consistió en: 1) identificar marcos de referencia, 2) caracterizar relación de marcos de referencia con lineamientos y elementos, 3) identificar alineación de los ámbitos y aportes de los marcos de gestión y GD para la implementación del GD, y 4) analizar los resultados de la investigación. Resultados: El proceso permitió identificar los elementos que cada marco de referencia aporta a la implementación del GD de acuerdo a los lineamientos establecidos por el MinTIC. Conclusiones: El Data Management Body of Knowledge del Data Management Association (DAMA) entrega herramientas y técnicas que facilitan la implementación de lo estipulado por el ministerio, el cual puede complementarse con elementos del Data Governance Framework del Data Governance Institute (DGI) y The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF).

PurposeThis article critically investigates a management-led experiment to institute a four-day work week with stated intentions of improving productivity and worker wellbeing. The article analyses the framing and implementation of the reduced work hours (RWH) trial, the responses of employees and the outcomes and implications of the trial. It raises concerns regarding the managerial appropriation of employee aspirations for more autonomy over time and improved work life.Design/methodology/approachWe conducted a qualitative case study of a medium-sized company operating in the financial services sector in New Zealand. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 45 employees.FindingsOur study finds that the promise of a four-day week attracted employee favour and individualised benefits. However, entrenched managerialist practices of performance measurement, monitoring and productivity pressures were intensified. Pro-social and collective interests evident in labour-led campaigns were absent. We urge greater critical scrutiny into seemingly advantageous “business case” initiatives for reduced work hours.Originality/valueLittle is known about what happens to concern for social and employee interests entailed in reduced working hours initiatives when a management-led initiative is implemented. Indeed, the majority of research focuses on the macro-level rather than interrogating the “black box” of firms. Our inquiry contributes to these debates by asking, how does a management-led RWH initiative affect employees?

This chapter explores the concept of trust and issues relating to how the construct is conceptualised and understood in a traditional offline context as well as in online environments. The chapter opens with a mini case study that highlights the complexities of being a privately-owned small firm operating in a dynamic and largely unregulated web environment. The firm is relatively new to the financial sector thus augmenting the challenges that lie in reducing perceived risk in an industry that has a chequered history with customer perceptions of credibility and integrity in the financial services sector. The chapter introduces the theoretical underpinning, which draws from the trust theories and technology adoption at firm level, which is critiqued through the lens of the technology acceptance model. Concepts related to institution-based trust are discussed and managerial implications are considered for pure play firms operating online. Each section of the chapter explores these theoretical perspectives from a FinTech context.

This study aims to identify key information technology (IT) integration issues experienced during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the financial services sector. The study proposes an approach to increase the efficiency of such transactions. A comprehensive literature review and case study of a leading financial services organisation is undertaken, comprising of interviews with high ranking IT and business leaders. This research identifies the blueprint for a best practice framework, which Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and IT practitioners can employ to guide execution of their own M&A integration programme.

This case study is based on an enterprise-wide consulting project for a financial services firm in a major metropolitan area of the southwest United States. This case addresses the underlying principles (i.e., techniques and processes) and real-world practical application of object orientation (O-O). The objectives of this case study are to reinforce the student’s foundation in fundamental OO concepts, to provide an in-depth example of the application of O-O analysis and design techniques and formalisms and to enable the student to transfer this knowledge to the student’s actual work. The merit of the development process described here, Compass, is that it presents a repeatable process for delivery of client server architectures, object oriented systems, and distributed objects and components. It helps manage three interdependent variables common to most projects, i.e., deliverables, resources, and time, in a cost effective and efficient manner. The concept behind Compass is to integrate the best-proven solutions currently available, drawing upon several best-ofbreed approaches used within the Information Services industry.

The authors explore the masculine preoccupation with control in the historical context of the emergence of modern management. They then seek to contemporise the phenomenon in terms of the problem it poses for the management of innovations within the financial services sector. It is demonstrated that the theory underlying modern management panaceas such as TQM, culture change and BPR is embedded within a masculine discourse of control which is inconsistent with its concomitant concern to promote creativity, autonomy and trust within the employment relationship. Such inconsistencies are then illustrated by recourse to some empirical case study based research within a major retail bank. It is argued that the poor performance of recent management innovations cannot be understood purely as difficulties of implementation or design rather issues of gender are of critical importance both in understanding the problems of innovation but also the forms and condition of organisations and management. The central focus is the over-arching concern with control embedded within multiple masculinities and its incompatibility with innovations which emphasise quality or teamworking.

Nowadays, data has become important and influences the decision-making process on government and business sectors. Data governance strategy should not be underestimated because it increases the value of data and minimize data-related cost and risk. The data governance concept promotes the accomplishment of organizational objectives by developing and implementing an appropriate strategy for processing data in perfect and secure manner. This study aims to assess the maturity of data governance for Saudi sectors by design a framework and using it to measure whether the data governance have been applied or not. To do so, we have designed a questionnaire based on five criteria for assessing the current state of data governance implementation which are: policies and standards of data management, data quality, risk of poor data quality, cost of data correction, and data security. The questionnaire was then distributed to the employees in the IT department or who are related to data management or data security in Saudi sectors either government or private. The results show that approximately 48% of the respondents stated that they have a data governance committee in the sectors in which they work. Also, 55% of the respondents indicated that there are legislation and regulations for data governance in the sectors, as well as for making data available. Moreover, 42% from the respondents stated that their organizations have policies and procedures to enforce data management
