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...

This paper examines the depth, erudition, and rigor of contemporary research on knowledge management as a causal factor that influences the ultimate outcome of multinational corporation (MNC) expansion, bounded by the confines of information and communication technology (ICT) competences identified as behavioral, business, and technological. Through discussion highlighting the dominant knowledge management (KM) research themes within the milieu of the global firm, readers will gain definitive and practical insight into relevant topics that may be used to stimulate development of growth strategies for the firm.

This paper explores the major factors influencing multinational companies' (MNCs) propensity to change the level of resource commitments during financial crises in emerging markets. Favorable changes in the host government policies, market demand, firm strategy, and infrastructural conditions are hypothesized to influence the MNCs' decision to increase resource commitments during a crisis. The hypotheses are tested with data collected in a survey of 82 MNCs during the recent Argentine financial crisis (late 2002). While all the above variables are considered by the respondents as generally important reasons for increasing resource commitments during a crisis, only favorable changes in government policies significantly influence MNCs' decisions to change the level of resource commitments...

The long-term viability of regional common markets, such as the EU, will depend on whether the income, investment, and technology gaps that exist between rich and poor members of such unions can be narrowed. This article argues that foreign direct investment (FDI), supported by a rational industrial policy, can play a major role in promoting economic development within an integrated regional market, while reducing inequities within the community. The success of Ireland in attracting inward FDI with the support of EU industrial policy is cited as a positive example in this regard.

Reconstruction funding will continue to be used to create employment opportunities and training programs for those individuals who are most likely to return to violence in the event that they do not find alternative stable and productive employment prospects. Because of the operational needs of commanders on the ground, the U.S. mission will likely continue to fund projects that directly and immediately improve the lives of those military-aged males and former SOIs who are most at risk of rejoining insurgent or criminal groups (like micro-grants).

The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), Cost Accounting Standards Board (Board), is publishing this final rule to revise Cost Accounting Standard (CAS) 412, ``Composition and Measurement of Pension Cost,'' and CAS 413, ``Adjustment and Allocation of Pension Cost.'' This revision will harmonize the measurement and period assignment of the pension cost allocable to Government contracts, and the minimum required contribution under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, as required by the Pension Protection Act (PPA) of 2006. The PPA amended the minimum funding requirements for qualified defined benefit pension plans. The Board issues this final rule to revise CAS 412 and CAS 413 to include the recognition of a ``minimum actuarial liability'' and `...

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are increasingly becoming a strategy of choice for companies attempting to achieve and sustain competitive advantage. However, not all M&As are a success. In this paper, we examine the three main reasons highlighted in the literature as major causes of M&A failure (clashing corporate cultures, absence of clear communication, and employee involvement) in three Indian pharmaceutical companies, and we analyze the role played by the HR function in addressing them. Also, we discuss the importance of gaining the commitment and focus of the workforce during the acquisition process through employee involvement.
