Download or read book Information Systems Outsourcing written by Rudy Hirschheim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-13 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four years have been passed away since the first edition of this book has been published. While certain key issues on IS sourcing like determinants and application service provision have become more mature from an academic and industry perspective, additional topics have arisen on the horizon. In particular, offshoring and business process outsourcing have led to numerous insightful publications which offer a valuable and indispensable holistic sourcing persp- tive. Thus, the second edition of our outsourcing book deals with enduring themes, new perspectives, and global challenges. In addition to classical themes like Sourcing Determinants (Part I), Relationship Aspects (Part II), and Experiences (Part III), we felt it worthwhile to add three new parts. They cover information systems outsourcing from a Vendor and Individual Perspective (Part IV), Application Service Providing (Part V) as well as Offshoring and Global Outsoucing (Part VI). Again we have thoughtfully tried to arrange a compilation of contemporary outsourcing research as a primer and a platform for scientific discourse. In contrast to the first edition, this book is not the outcome of an International Conference, but rather an update of important and relevant perspectives. Since the Third International Conference on Outsourcing of Information Services will take place 2007 in Heidelberg, Germany, it may be considered as an epilogue for further interactions and discussions.

Your customers experience it as red tape, inflexible policies, and being hard to do business with. Employees experience it when departments don't cooperate, when internal politics get in the way of the mission, and when decisions seem to take forever." "Bureaucracy is the "stuff" that gets in the way of doing the job, takes the fun out of work, and drives customers crazy... or away." "Busting Bureaucracy explains what bureaucracy is and exposes its root cause. More importantly, Busting Bureaucracy shows how to get rid of it. The book offers solutions as simple as passing this book around and talking about it. The book offers solutions as complex as changing your mission and your organizational structure to become more customer focused. You'll learn how to keep bureaucracy from sabotaging any existing efforts your organization might have to improve quality or service." "Busting Bureaucracy offers a blueprint for becoming mission driven as an alternative to organizing based on the traditional bureaucratic organizing form. Busting Bureaucracy includes how to organize so that employees can focus on the mission without being hampered by politics, long decision cycles, and aversion to risk, enlist the support of your entire management team to reduce or eliminate bureaucracy, and enlist the support of your entire workforce to improve quality and service to customers." "Johnston shows how large, bureaucratic organizations are being overtaken by mission driven companies that are flexible, responsive, innovative, and have customer friendly policies, practices, and procedures. With this insightful guide by your side, you'll learn how to change your culture by changing some beliefs, taboos, and traditions that may be basic to your culture right now - but that can be revamped to give your organization a significant strategic advantage!"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: First published in 2000. Managers who are able to conceptualize and align management systems with business strategy are more likely to achieve on-the-job results, receive higher performance appraisals, and move up in the organization. This in-depth study of senior, middle and first-line managers examines how successful managers use management systems to achieve high productivity and innovation in their areas of responsibility. In today's fast-paced, dynamic and highly competitive work environment, organizations strive to attract and develop strong leaders and managers. Executive, human resource specialists, organization development and training professionals are vitally interested in learning what qualities or characteristics the best leaders and managers exhibit, and how to develop those qualities in their existing workforce. While previous research has focused on the qualities of strong leader/managers primarily in senior or first-line management positions, this book reports the results of a comprehensive analysis of successful senior, middle and first-line managers in a high technology company. In this book, the reader will learn how the best managers define management systems and align those systems with business strategy in ways that achieve desired business results, and identify them as the leaders of the future.
