We review, classify, consolidate, and synthesize the contributions to the expanding field of e-business that have been published in Production and Operations Management. We classify e-business research in the following four categories: (1) e-auctions, (2) radio frequency identification, (3) e-business system design, and (4) competition, conflict, collaboration, and coordination (C^sup 4^ in e-business). We identify important research themes, research methodologies, and research techniques within each of these categories. We also provide directions for future research and discuss the managerial implications of the e-business research reported in our paper.
The Forest Service has finalized the development of an internal directive to Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2900 for invasive species management. This final invasive species management directive will provide foundational comprehensive guidance for the management of invasive species on aquatic and terrestrial areas of the National Forest System (NFS). This directive articulates broad objectives, policies, responsibilities, and definitions for Forest Service employees and partners to more effectively communicate NFS invasive species management requirements at the local, regional, and national levels. This directive primarily serves to clarify and improve the understanding, scope, roles, principles, and responsibilities associated with NFS invasive species management for Forest Service employ...

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 task of delivering green or sustainable buildings requires the coordination of many parties in the chain of asset management and construction. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has recently taken up the idea of sustainable building as a signal attribute of the future of the architectural profession. Surprisingly, this new position poses a disturbing new relationship between the architect and the client, which may have far-reaching consequences. The AIA has thrust itself into the forefront of the sustainable design debate. With more than 83,000 practitioners among its members, the AIA represents a large percentage of the practicing architectural profession and plays a leadership role in establishing the standard of care. Sustainable or green design doesn't add anything new t...

Numerous facilitative procedures have been developed and used by facilitators to assist groups with solving problems and making decisions. Working with a new student services work group at a university in Denver, Colorado, USA, I employed the devil's advocacy approach, which programs conflict into a problem-solving procedure through alternate recommendations and critiques of possible solutions by two subgroups. Use of the procedure helped group members to develop a deeper understanding of an important problem-motivating the academic administration and faculty to set and publish accurate course rotations in a timely fashion-and to articulate a series of actions to solve it. This facilitation case study revealed several enabling and inhibitive facilitator behaviors that further the unders...

As Vietnam emerges into world markets, Vietnamese organizations are facing the predicament of how to avoid the low-cost labor trap and move up the production value-chain by improving quality and productivity. Continuous improvement (CI) practices have proved fundamental to building and sustaining competitive advantage in other Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. If Vietnamese organizations are to pursue higher value-added activities, CI will be critical for them, too. Despite the tremendous interest in Vietnam from the international business community, little research on Vietnamese management practices has been done, particularly on the use of CI techniques. The language barrier, lack of reliable business data, and the culture of government and corporate secrecy in V...
