Since this is a targeted request, however, the appropriate response is to refuse to confirm or deny whether such records exist, rather than just redact the identifying information from the records as in the case of PFC Ordinary. [...] since 9/11, DoD personnel have a heightened privacy interest in the personal information contained in agency records, and due consideration must be given to the protection of that personal privacy.
An alternative to offshoring is domestic sourcing, or outsourcing in one's home country. A subset of domestic sourcing, known as rural sourcing, is emerging as a significant option within the information technology industry, either as a standalone delivery model or as part of a global outsourcing solution. This article presents the example of one rural sourcing firm's achievements through a technology based partnership with a rural university. The advantages of rural sourcing-such as prevention of American job losses to other countries, promotion of economic development in rural areas, and reduced geopolitical risk for firms-are discussed, along with the opportunity for social responsibility. Suggestions for the future growth and emerging opportunities of this niche sector are also pres...
The process of introducing new and phasing out old products is called product rollover. This paper considers a periodic-review inventory system consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer, where the manufacturer introduces new and improved products over an infinite planning horizon using the solo-roll strategy. We consider two scenarios: (1) the manufacturer does not share the upstream information about new-product introduction with the retailer and (2) the manufacturer shares the information. For each scenario, we first derive the decentralized ordering policy and the system-optimal ordering policy with given cost parameters. We then devise an optimal supply chain contract that coordinates the inventory system. We demonstrate that when the inventory system is coordinated, information s...
As the investment in and dependence on information technology grows, organizations have become increasingly aware of the need to ensure system, software, and information quality. Despite continuous efforts to improve system and software development, controlling quality remains difficult in today's environment. The complexity of assessing information system quality stems from its many important dimensions. Using as a starting point the well-known model of system quality developed by DeLone and McLean (2003), this study's goals are to translate these constructs into an overall measure of system quality to be used in practice, and examine the content validity of measures to assess information system quality using expert judges. In-depth structured discussions with top managers, members of ...
