...Part 1: The Role of the IT Manager in Organizations As the Information Technology (IT) manager for Magnum Enterprises, I know that my role is to integrate software, hardware, and my business management capabilities into a fully functional IT operating business. I am aware that there will be challenges as I assume the position as head of the IT management effort at Magnum. In serving this position, my team and I will make Magnum a better organization. I will take this opportunity to explain how I interpret the role of the IT Manager. IT entails anything related to computer technology. Some of these things include software, hardware, networks, the internet, and everyone that works with any of these systems. Working with these systems includes occupations such as computer programming, computer engineering, technical support, Web development, network administration, and various other related jobs. IT departments are widespread among many organizations for management of the computers, networks, and computer technical areas of their business. Responsibilities of managers can range from overseeing several different areas to focusing only on one particular aspect. These areas often include IT Compliance, Application Development, Project Management, Server Administration, as well as several other areas. The role of IT managers is generally being responsible for engaging many areas of the organization, including distribution, finance, manufacturing, operations, and retail...

...reduction, will directly enhance the reputation of a company and strengthen its brand, the concept of CSR clearly goes beyond that. Promoting the uptake of CSR amongst SMEs requires approaches that fit the respective needs and capacities of these businesses, and do not adversely affect their economic viability. UNIDO based its CSR programme on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Approach, which has proven to be a successful tool for SMEs in the developing countries to assist them in meeting social and environmental standards without compromising their competitiveness. The TBL approach is used as a framework for measuring and reporting corporate performance against economic, social and environmental performance. It is an attempt to align private enterprises to the goal of sustainable global development by providing them with a more comprehensive set of working objectives than just profit alone. The perspective taken is that for an organization to be sustainable, it must be financially secure, minimize (or ideally eliminate) its negative environmental impacts and act in conformity with societal expectations. A properly implemented CSR concept can bring along a variety of competitive...

...1. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND The term footwear covers a vast range of products made from many different materials. Boots, shoes, sandals, slippers and clogs are made wholly or partly of rubber, synthetic and plastics materials, canvas, rope and wood. In fact, in 2007, rubber and plastics footwear made up 53% of the pie whereas leather footwear accounted for 14% only with the remaining 33% of the footwear made of textile and other types of materials. In recent years, the footwear industry has become highly globalised, with competition from countries with lower labor costs and less regulated working conditions forcing footwear manufacturers to look at restructuring and re-locating their facilities. As the World population increases and living standards improve, the demand for footwear has shot up rapidly. Over the last decade and a half, Asian countries have emerged as the most powerful destination for footwear production, with established names in the US and Europe economies having shifted their facilities (partly and wholly) to Asian countries.

...Intelligence for the Twenty-First Century ALAN DUPONT Strategic discourse over the past decade has been dominated by a debate over the nature of future warfare and whether or not there is a ‘revolution in military affairs’ (RMA). Supporters contend that developments in military technology, especially precision guidance and high-speed data processing, in conjunction with advances in doctrine and strategy, will fundamentally transform the way in which future wars will be fought and privilege RMAcapable forces in the contest to achieve battlefield dominance.1 Sceptics, on the other hand, regard the RMA as being more evolutionary than revolutionary, and argue that many of the technical advances associated with the RMA do not necessarily presage a paradigm shift in warfare.2 However, all agree that timely, accurate and useable intelligence will be critical to the successful conduct of war in the twenty-first century, perhaps more so than in any previous era. It is surprising, therefore, how little academic attention has been devoted to the changes that are taking place in the technology, management and integration of the intelligence systems that will underpin any RMA. It is the contention of this article that the transformation of intelligence architectures, particularly in the West, is no less profound than that of the weapons, platforms and warfighting systems they are designed to support and enhance. Moreover, the cumulative weight of the changes in prospect will redefine the...

...SPOTLIGHT ON HBR AT 90 Spotlight About the Spotlight Artist Each month we illustrate our Spotlight package with a series of works from an accomplished artist. We hope that the lively and cerebral creations of these photographers, painters, and installation artists will infuse our pages with additional energy and intelligence to amplify what are often complex and abstract concepts. This month we showcase the “rayographs” of Man Ray, the modernist giant. Born in Philadelphia, Ray moved to Paris in 1921, where he experimented with painting, filmmaking, sculpture, and, of course, photography. He created his rayographs by placing objects directly onto photosensitive material and exposing them to light. View more of the artist’s work at manraytrust.com.
