Typically a plan will cover all the key personnel, resources, services and actions required to implement and manage the DR process (comission, 2014). A large US public power provider, with millions of residential and business customers, needed to rethink its disaster recovery program. Due to budget constraints, the utility’s data recovery program had not been updated or tested for several years. Under the existing program, systems recovery could take up to 20 days—an unacceptable timeframe for a utility relied upon by numerous states for critical infrastructure services. Moreover, the utility was grappling with internal audit findings pertaining to unresolved disaster recovery deficiencies, which attracted the attention of board members. The board suggested that the utility modernize its disaster recovery program and keep it up to date. A Disaster Recovery Plan is designed to ensure the continuation of vital business processes in the event that a disaster occurs. The September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center has trigger the urgent of the DRP (Krocker, 2002). 1.1 Reason for a self-service disaster recovery plan 1.1.1.

...Background (2.1&2.2) This article aims at a manufacturing industrial company called Huawei that is located in central China. This medium-sized company has 50 workers and 4 production lines working day and night. It is quite a young company which was established in 2008, but the annual output value accounts for 200 million RMB that stands out in central China. The most attractive point is the extensive trainings for employees which is one of the best practices. This perspective highlights the efficiency of labour forces that directly promote productivity. The employees in the manufacturing department can get 2 opportunities to be sent to training institutions every year, and the longest training lasts for 3 months. The new individuals can also have the training courses from the beginning. All the training fees are covered by the company and it offers the salary for employees when they are in the training period. However, the turnover of employees is quite high and the leaving people caused much loss for the company. The aim of this article is to investigate in Huawei’s turnover problem and give a proposal based on data collections that attract major stakeholders’ attention to make some changes. The highly turnover of employees will have bad influence of the strategic management and thus affect the company’s long-term good performance. Research methods and data sources (1.1&1.2) It is necessary to make a research which showing the valid and reliable information before...

Ferreira * Centre for Information and Knowledge Management University of Johannesburg Johannesburg , South Africa aferreira@uj.ac.za T. du Plessis Department of Information and Knowledge Management University of Johannesburg Johannesburg , South Africa tduplessis@uj.ac.za The popularity of social networking sites is relatively recent and the effect of online social networking (OSN) on employee productivity has not received much scholarly attention. The reason most likely lies in the social nature of social networking sites and OSN, which is assumed to have a negative effect on employee productivity and not bear organisational benefit. This reseach investigated recent Internet developments as seen in the social Web and specifically investigated the effect of OSN on employee productivity and what some of the consequences would be if employees were allowed unrestricted access to these networks. The findings concerning the nature of employees' OSN activities, employees' attitude or perceptions with regard to OSN in the workplace and how OSN can contribute or affect the productivity of employees are discussed in this article. Some of the basic misconceptions regarding OSN are highlighted and it is concluded that this technology can be used to increase collaboration between individuals who share a common interest or goal. Increased collaboration will stimulate knowledge sharing between...
