...für Wirtschaftsinformatik, Leibniz-Universität Hannover Königsworther Platz 1, 30167 Hannover {sprenger|breitner @iwi.uni-hannover.de} Introduction Customer Relationship Management (CRM)1 has been discussed in the literature since the nineties. IT evaluation on the other hand dates back to the eighties starting with a more contemporary approach (Farbey et al. 1999, p. 191). As reported by earlier works, the success rate of CRM implementation projects is up to today still not satisfactory (Becker et al. 2009; Finnegan and Currie 2009). Reasons for failing the expectations of involved parties are diverse, but can be summarized under the three dimensions: people, process and technology (Figure 1). Due to the described quality problems and the speed of evaluation results becoming outdated, new CRM solutions or updated versions of established products continuously enter the market. CRM solutions range from simple address and activity management applications to integrated software packages linking front office and back office functions (Chen and Popovich 2003, p. 673). Hence, there exists a multitude of different characterizations for CRM. For the context of this paper a definition by Goldenberg (2000) is used, who describes CRM as a cross-functional, customerdriven, technology-integrated business process management strategy that aims at maximizing relationships and encompasses the entire organization. This definition thereby incorporates all three already mentioned dimensions of the...

...Introduction: FBI Virtual Case File project was to build a networked system for tracking criminal cases, designed to replace the bureau’s antiquated paper files. The VCF project was of a larger initiative called Trilogy. A project, started in 2001, which should have taken 3 years, abandoned in 2005 by FBI after spending $170 million with requirements still not met. Discussion: The FBI’s attempt to move from a paper-based to an electronic case management system began in 2001 with the Virtual Case File (VCF), a major component of the Trilogy project. The VCF was supposed to automate the FBI's paper-based work environment, allow agents and intelligence analysts to share vital investigative information, connect the dots and replace the obsolete Automated Case Support (ACS) system because they lacked a central, shared database between applications. However, the outcome of the project was a product consisting of about 730,000 lines of code that didn’t even begin to approach the functionality laid out in the requirements. FBI’s mission evolved over the time along with their technological needs and without complete set of defined requirements, FBI faced various obstacles and the project experienced major cost and schedule overruns and never achieved its objectives. The project demonstrated a systematic failure of software engineering practices. a. Overly ambitious goals: Readjust to a complete overhaul of the system after 9/11 attacks, fully replacing the existing system and to...

...Student's name Instructor's name Course name Date Human Resource Management in Multinational Organizations A Preliminary Research on Self-Initiated Expatriation as Compared to Assigned Expatriation Human resource management in multinational organizations is complex due to the cross-cultural and international aspects related to its nature. This article examines the phenomenon of 'expatriation': choosing to leave one's own country in order to live or work in another, usually for a long period of time. Multinational organizations require a certain level of staff relocation in order to improve their knowledge of emerging markets as well as maximizing their talent resources. In addition to assigned expatriates, meaning those moving to another country following an assignment from their workplace, the article refers to "self-initiated expatriates, meaning people who choose to move to another country on their own. Human resource needs for both kinds of expatriates are unique, and may differ from each other. Self-initiated expatriates may exhibit more motivation to live in a different country and uproot their family for a long period of time, and this motivation may facilitate an easier transition, therefore being less demanding for the human resource management (Mo and Jian-Ming 170-172) Workplace flexibility and the changing nature of work: an introduction This paper examines articles referring to how the changes in the work environment require flexibility on behalf...

...Business Case for HR Self Service Systems Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Project Overview 3 Business Case for Proposed Project 4 Conclusion 5 References 5 Executive Summary This paper addresses the business case for implementing self service in the IT industry with the aim of gaining higher efficiency for a majority of HR functions and other benefits that can be derived from improved information access. The paper also discusses the various challenges an organization might face while attempting to implement self-service. The business case for self service revolves around reducing administrative costs and gaining better efficiency. It also aims at improving the overall performance and other benefits such as information management, trend analysis and also operational efficiency. The chief argument presented here is that a self-service initiative allows the HR to concentrate more towards the core functions such as people management instead of getting burdened with administrative tasks. While self-service has the ability to improve the service expectations from HR, it may also result in some of the savings being consumed in order to meet the higher quality expectations. However, on the long run, it is bound to reduce expenses to a great extent while enhancing the quality. Self-service also enables an organization to implement flexible work and helps employees to remain connected with the organization through a centralized HR system aimed at remote...
