Globally Distributed Work

The term 24-Hour Knowledge Factory connotes a globally distributed work environment in which teammates work on a project around the clock. The 24-Hour Knowledge Factory is a special case of a globally distributed team in which the different teams work on a sequential basis that has been clearly defined in advance. Whereas a manufactured item was the end product in the case of the factory which emerged as a consequence of the industrial revolution, knowledge-based services and knowledge-based products are the end deliverables in the case of the current information revolution; hence, the term 24-Hour Knowledge Factory. Work can be decomposed by task style or by organizational style, and allows for greater specialization of workers. A case study from IBM details surprising differences between colocated and distributed teams, and leads to a future state analysis for organizations seeking to study or implement the 24-Hour Knowledge Factory.

Hotel Chain

AbstractThe present paper analyses and exemplifies the role of information systems in the processes of enterprise transformation, by presenting the case study of a hotel chain that elaborated a new integrated information system in order to increase efficiency of the room booking process. The theoretical literature will outline the main theories concerning enterprise transformation and its role in the knowledge-based society, and in particular, its importance in efficiency-driven economies, such as Romania’s. The case study will also describe the IS in terms of motivation, options, anticipated benefits, related risks, implementation costs and duration, assessment of investment. A detailed activity plan will be provided, as well as an analysis of resources involved. Of extreme relevance is the presentation of the expected social impact of the development project, which proves the multifacetedness of enterprise transformation, through its large outreach to all stakeholders, not only employees and customers, but the society at large.

Role Of Information

Where do states’ positions on EU-integration come from? Despite a large number of studies we simply do not know which factors determine states’ positions in specific cases and why. This article analyses position making between ‘governments’ and ‘parliaments’ during the Maastricht Treaty negotiations. Furthermore, an analysis of the role of information asymmetries as intermediating factors in generating ‘influence on position’ will be carried out. The question asked is: Do governments enjoy relative autonomy vis-à-vis the Folketing that enables them to develop ‘positions’ they feel are in ‘the national interest’ or is Parliament able to control government behavior? The conclusions indicate that Parliaments control governmental positions, but also that governments, are able to exploit the negotiations to pursue certain ‘policy drifts’. The research design used is an in-dept single case study that analyses the level of inFluence on a multitude of different issues varied over the conflict level between the actors.

Role Of Information

The present research paper discusses the pivotal role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education which is gaining currency in the new era of globalism as the telecom revolution has hastened the pace of globalization and vice-versa; along with the catalyst role ICT-enabled education plays in promoting inclusive growth and human development for all. These smart tools of the emerging smart economy would help to promote mass literacy and also narrow inter, as well as intra-generational gaps. Most importantly, it will provide ‘second opportunities' to the generation that missed them in the first place, thus helping adult learners, particularly the employed and women; thus attempting to reduce gender inequities; particularly in South Asia and the Indian sub-continent. The case study of the famous open University, namely Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) in India is being studies as a case of sustainable development and inclusive growth as it ‘reaches the unreached' and untouched and marginalized segments of society.
