Download or read book Cultural Influences on IT Use written by N. Kambayashi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-09-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the role that national culture plays in shaping the emergent relationship between IT and organisations. It also shows the mechanisms through which national culture influences IT use. Although a number of studies have investigated relationships between IT and organisations, relatively few studies have conducted international comparisons on the theme, and even fewer have focused on national culture in their analytical framework. The book is based on extensive research undertaken with British and Japanese manufacturing companies, providing evidence that national culture does influence organisational IT use.

Download or read book IT Financial Management written by Maxime Sottini and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now accepted that IT functions are a fundamental part of the competitive business model. Instead of simply offering services IT must 'create value' for the business. This practical title describes the strong financial skills that IT managers must have in order to support: Operations: Finance departments rely heavily on IT managers being able to identify, track and measure costs sometimes at a very granular level Budgeting: the very technical nature of IT operations means that budgeting can be more complex than many other areas Project Delivery: large technical project deliveries means that costs can be correspondingly complex to account for Business Modeling; pricing models rely heavily on IT managers skills and accuracy. Where one service supports many commercial offerings a strong model is needed to apportion costs appropriately Investment and business cases: a sound understanding of the financial contribution the IT assets make to the overall business is critical to gain support for ongoing investment This outstanding title covers the main financial concepts that managers need to be familiar with in order for IT to take its proper senior place as a contributor to the business. It assumes a basic level of financial understanding and builds on the techniques required almost daily; therefore it is overwhelmingly practical and based on real world scenarios. Not only are the techniques fully described but issues such as roles, implementation, daily management and even tooling are detailed.

Download or read book Applying the Kaizen in Africa written by Keijiro Otsuka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, how to develop industries is a burning issue in Africa, where population growth remains high and economic development has thus far failed to provide sufficient jobs for many, especially young people and women. The creation of productive jobs through industrial development ought to be a central issue in steering economic activity across the continent. The authors of this book, consisting of two development economists and five practitioners, argue that the adoption of Kaizen management practices, which originated in Japan and have become widely used by manufacturers in advanced and emerging economies, is decisively the most effective first step for industrial development in Africa. This open access book discusses what Kaizen management is, why it is applicable to Africa, and why it can provide Africa with a springboard for sustainable economic growth and employment generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restructuring in the Service Industries: Management Reform and Workplace Relations in the UK Service Sector. An examination of the complex process of transformation in work organization, technology and labour and product markets that has occurred. The analysis moves between a broad appreciation of structural developments within the economies of the advanced industrial nations, and an in-depth study of enterprise and workplace.

Parts Two and Three are case studies of two service sectors - financial services and the National Health Service. Part Four relates the evidence to a broader appreciation of developments in management/workforce relations occurring in the service sector.

This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communities of Practice are accessible to both experts and new members of a particular community with diverse academic and cultural backgrounds as well as varying social expectations and experiences.

Focusing on critical topics related to different types of knowledge communities and the ways in which such communities generate innovation, this research-based publication is an ideal reference source for academics, business professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, and those currently studying at the graduate level.
