MBA Dissertation Topics in Global Outsourcing Processes

Gene, M. & Helpman, E(2002) stated that companies perform Global Outsourcing Processes in order to expand their business activities into international markets. Global market is a place where a number of rival companies perform their business activities and new companies enter the market continuously. Existing companies create a strong base in the international markets by acquiring their market share and command in the market.

These discussions justifies that the existing companies in the market gives tough competition to the new companies that are entering to the market for the first time. Newer companies face a stiff competition due to this and try to implement newer strategies in order to compete with their competitors and survive in the market. If a company performs its business activities in international market then that particular company has to face tough competition with current competitors and new competitors.

Competition is a critical aspect by which companies face failures in performances with new strategies and methods. Competition is the only aspect that gives competitive benefits to the companies and for this reason; competition is the important aspect among the total external factors of the market. Even though companies are having good competitive standards among competitors, there is a need of devising suitable strategies according to changing competitors existing in the market. Strategies are the only resources that are been used to solve different types of problems that take place in the company.

Every problem will have a specific solution and every company will have their own strategies and methods to overcome the problems. Companies are outsourcing their products and services in order to expand their business and standards in the international markets and even outsourcing their products and services to get global competitive advantages.

The outsourcing process shows positive or negative influence of globalization on the company’s success graph that needs appropriate strategies and methods to succeed in the global market. Market is a place where constant changes take place and companies need to manage the ever-changing market changes in order to change their current situation into competitive world of business and gain expected results in the form of profits. The actual research problem being companies face failures in managing outsourcing processes of change management process as their competitive strategy.

Infosys Company faces similar problems like lack of using appropriate strategies to perform global sourcing process in a successful manner. In general, there are different types of global outsourcing strategies like strategic alliance benefits, mutual profit shares, competitive reputation, global standards etc. Each strategy can be used to build strong relation between the actual companies with its global outsourced company.

Challenges and Strategies of Leading Women in Business World

CHALLENGES: 

What and where should be the women and how they should perform their roles are assumed and expected by every culture in their gendered roles. In latest years facing these expectations are more in each and every culture, because of few factors such as in the employees strength of the women is high and globalization. In leadership roles and working across cultures there is an increase of women. 

In the recent years following are the couple of stories which have been observed by female clients, women can face various problems when working across different cultures is not a recent occurrence.

In chemical engineering Norhati done PHD and she was a Malaysian woman.  In the area of research Norhati is worked, and it is a large multinational organization. She is very successful in her job role and enormously competent and capable woman. She wears the traditional dress and she is a Muslim woman. When she is working with her American counterparts, she faced so many difficulties and which are observed, mostly in the early days Norhati was trying to establish friendship with them. Norhati was passive and could be easily subjected, and she is a Muslim woman, and she observes some stereotyped attitudes regarding her dress therefore she believe that other employees in the organization are implicit. Norhati capabilities and ideas are ignored in the organizations. Norhati become more honest with her efforts and observations after the executive coaching period. 

                     In the IT industry Tracey is working, and she is regularly travelling to Japan and she is a western woman. At the Karaoke bar over drinks Tracey faced a lot of problems in the evening because businesses are occurred at outside of the office. She felt that and realizes this is not the correct place to work, she didn’t feel comfortable. In the evening activities Tracey’s is not attending for the issues and information discussed so, therefore she can’t build relationship with the co employees in the organization.             

      For explaining the working or leading across cultures, there are two stories for women and also men which differs enormously. Different challenges are faced depending on the places by the Norhati or Tracey, for example if Norhati is a French woman who works in US or Tracey working in Middle East. Neither Norhati nor Tracey has felt as if they are privy to the communication of informal networks and also that their business relationships were affected by it and the capability to develop a satisfactory trust level. 

                     To directly impact the outcomes of their business, these aspects had the potential to do so. For women working with cultures considerably unusual to their own, the differences such as resolving and negotiating can be challenging. Into blips the potentially damaging issues can be prevented by a degree of particular cultural knowledge. All the difference can be made through the awareness of skillfulness, mindfulness and cultural differences. For example: A female client working in Brazil was experiencing a good knowledge regarding elimination from their team. The team totally consists of men, who were mostly seeking directions and advice from the male examiners. Later some time, it has been decided that the female client being an extremely relationship based culture would demonstrate more interest in their personal families and lives and dynamically build a relationship with these men. 

                Form the view point of the female client approach it was also mindful in consideration of her male subordinates, in specific situations they might also be experiencing the gender difficulties that are reflecting on them. Since with the team her relationship is improved, she felt as if there was better acceptance, respect and also the greater performance from the team. Whereas the female expatriates in comparison to the male counterparts were low, and progressively the female expatriates are increasing. In career development the foreign assignments for the senior leaders were considered to be a significant period. More female expatriates are hopefully seen while the women move up to the ranks, and as such they need to support the awareness of cultural gender through strategies, knowledge and improved skills. Another most important characteristic is that like the male counterpart, whilst a female leader might be comprising issues just about few cultural “road blocks”. In communicating, the male client may be experiencing few of the confronting issues and also working next to the female or may be reporting to a female boss. On both sides of the fence a degree of mindfulness is necessary.

STRATEGIES:

Below, some of the different strategies and small quantity of ideas are mentioned. While testing these strategies in one culture the problems which are in sight are culture specific.

  • Before problems are occurring only first of all you must make relation with the cultural stereotypes in this way it is easy to realize from which place these subordinates are coming by increasing your knowledge.
  • It is essential to recognize the differences that are, in some situations people may feel repulsive but their attention may help but in some conditions they may feel uneasiness.
  • By showing position and power attract the colleagues/subordinates who are invited to your home country.
  • By monitoring the performance express and follow an assertiveness and confidence.
  •  While settling the variations small quantity of strategies and culturally appropriate ways are increased.
  • When there is a discussion with different cultures of men towards the comfortable motion you may produce sensitiveness.
  • The place where people are working, inside that culture a network is assembled and an implicit aspect of the culture can be explained by men or women so request them.

Logical coaching and mentoring is obtained. The female leaders who are working at the borders are having Executive Cultural Coaching, so benefits of this are very important. 

MBA Seminar Topic on Organizational Change Management

Organizational Change Management is an important subject and plays a vital role in success of organizations because changes are common in any company and if that particular company is managing the changes in a successful manner, then only they can become successful in the market.

If the company is not capable of managing its organizational changes in a reliable manner then it faces failures in the market. Among the different factors, global sourcing is the most important which leads to the success of an organization.  Global sourcing allows companies to understand the needs of clients in different locations across the world. Global outsourcing is the process of expanding the business activities into global markets according to the changes that take place in the marketplace.

Change management process plays a significant role in changing status of a company in the market because the sudden changes happened in the company may show positive or negative impact on the company.  If the changes show positive impact then the company can attain success in the market and gives competitive position to the company.

If those changes are negative then the company may face failures in the market that degrades the company status in the market (Elmuti & Kripalani, 2003).

Women Leading Across Borders MBA Case Study

Women Leading Across Borders

Introduction:

Leaders among the business are working across several boundaries as the worlds network is increased in a global village with many cultures. In the business at present, to learn work within culture but not on own is constant in this flat world. Working across the borders will contain so many cultural aspects, in that some of them are clear and some of them are not clear. In the organizational levels, team and also in individuals the significant issues are gender, values, customs and language.

Here the concept of gender is going to survey. The discussion is done on the cultural impact on gender has across the cultures and borders women’s are leading. Across the borders the women leaders’ success who works will be influenced by the gendered identity and culture.

Gender perception differs across both culture and time. Gender is one of the features of the culture. Gender refers to a general meaning that being a man or woman. It is multi-dimensional, institutionalized and multi layered, regarding a choice of expectations, assumptions and obligations. For example in the Sweden there is low difference between the man and the woman and there are few characteristics that man and woman can and  cannot do where as when compared to the society of Japanese there is so much difference between the man and woman. In the work place the role of the gender is not just mirror established social norms but also to support the social practices and structures.  

                 Several types of cultural beliefs, attitudes and cultural environments, gender expectations are significantly forced by it and also much of the relations are administrated and understand that happens among the man and the woman. Finally some of the important effects are “negotiation styles” and “communication” in the business interactions by the gender role. In both the societies like developed and developing, the “gendered glass ceiling” will be appeared to be continued. 

                   Across the globe when working from the different regions there are important gender differences. Mercer Consulting had conducted the survey in 2006 with 100 of MNC’s and around 17000 employees who are presently working internationally had found that woman’s sent to the work for the different areas in the Asian Pacific region are been increased. Woman’s working on the international assignments was increased gradually 16 times greater that found in the survey that conducted in 2001. Consequently we need to put strategies for this growth to support the woman working and leading in internationals.

 One question is raised that is this required to give more important to the woman rather than man. When the work is same and all the procedures which are following are also same and the job as well as the challenges faced are also same? For example working in Australia is same working in India? The immediate answer is it is not. Because many things that we can observe are different when compared to the Australia and India in the same way working in India and Australia is also not same as there are different belief systems, hierarchical structures, communication styles etc will impact directly like just as gender will do. Managing as an American or African female in the Korea or Pakistan will not be same.

The women emigrant leaders possess the characteristics, to make sure success in an expatriate role like cultural sympathy, persuasive motivation as well as flexibility and a willingness to take risks which is demonstrated in a wide research. Compared to past many women are placed on international assignments presently. Women employment is increased due to frequent travelers of business in other countries. Consider an instance where due to raise in female business travelers, all the floors of the hotel are accommodated by them in airline as well as hotel industries.  

        When leading across cultures it is known from some female clients about the gender specific challenges which they face.  At macro level like cultural noms and communication, more concentration is shown regarding the working as well as leading challenges across borders.  When looked into depth, it is noticed that through small amount of research as well as information generated it is evidenced that the gender includes a range of unspoken as well as frequently unrecognized set of issues which are not addressed, although these factors are very significant. 

As the women are an important part of present talent pool, there is necessity for acknowledgement. These days in the present economic climate, in organizational strategies the development of talent as well as arguably retention are at the forefront. An organization does not include the major portion of its present talent pool, when due to cultural assumptions as well as expectations a woman ignores the roles for senior and expatriate.

The Elecdyne company should look in to some important points as to survive their company as analysing the swot and as well as porter five forces the company should look in to few solutions as the company should make their products with high technology as day by day the technology changes so the company should bring in the recent trends in the technology. The company should also produce their products with good quality and as they also should see the factor of durability. They also should increase the brand value and the company also have to update with the unique selling points according to the customer satisfaction. 

The company should have to take the  Japanese electronics and information technology industries association(JIETA) help in order to go in to the Japanese market and as well as the other market because (JIETA) is mostly known all parts of the world so the company have to take this opportunity and turn it to their advantage 

The company also should look in to the sponsorship from wide range of sources like government and as well as private organisations and the company had the advantage if they join in the (JIETA) they will get many advantages as the finance part is the major one. The company should also look in to the partnership with the financial institutions. The company can also sell some shares in order to get some financial help. Regarding the license the company should take the advantage of Electronic industries association (EIA) as if the company is registered with them the company will get the license for low cost and there will be no need to increase 20% for the renewal of license 

THE THREE COUNTIRES WHICH I HAD CHOSSEN           

I have chosen the three countries based up on the labour cost, access to technology, the local market and as well as environment conditions for the foreign companies. The three countries are

1)      INDIA.

2)      SOUTH AFRICA.

3)      IRELAND.

WHY THESE THREE COUNTRIES 

These are the three countries which I choose for (ELECDYNE) to go in to the market

as these countries had good infrastructure for electronic products market and their governments are also open for direct foreign investment these three countries have wonder full labour facilities when compared with the other countries around the world and at the same time labour costs are also low. These countries had wonderful economies and as well as the place for the company to start.

If we look at the taxes these three are the better countries and we can get the license for the trade also very easily even though the world is facing the credit crunch it does

not effect these countries electronic products markets and at the same time people are also looking for some foreign technology, and at the same time the local companies are looking for some foreign collaboration so these is the right time to get in to there market. There are few draw backs as well in these countries but when compared with other countries these are not that much big. 

WHY INDIA 

      I suggest (ELECDYNE) company to go to India because of its greater infrastructure and as well as boom in the electronic industry especially in India. As the country had huge population people use lot of electronic products as if we look in to Indian culture their main entertainment is television and if we look in to the recent survey about this issue out of 100 people nearly 60 people are willing to buy television and watch it. So and at the same time if there is lot of young generation in India where they are willing to buy mp3 players. 

In India people used to watch lot of movies even though there are lot of movie theatres are there people still prefer to see their favourite movie in CD player by putting a cd.Indian government is also open for foreign companies and they are also giving support to them by offering them the place for a very cheap price and also giving some benefits for the company like 5% reduction in tax if they employ these many people from locally and at the same time they are reducing the road taxes for their transport vehicles.

Main economic aggregates of Ireland.

COMPARISN WITH MERTHYR TYDFIL LOCATION AND SINGUR LOCATION 

              MERTHYR TYDFIL                SINGUR (INDIA)
   
Less availability of land (41hectares) More availability of land (83hectares)
Investment cost is on high side Least investment cost
Skilled labour force but labour costs are high. Multi skilled labour force and labour cost is low.
Only road way to the site Port is very near and had excellent roads.
Minimum investment for development. Rs.1500 corers were invested for development.
Tax is a bit higer. Tax is lower for foreign companies (14.5%).Including local tax.

There is huge possibility for Elecdyne to go for joint venture in India along with the LG because LG had more market value and as well as it is looking for some foreign company and the technology as well. We can call that joint venture as LG-ELECDYNE INDIA and there is a R&d for LG from IIT Kanpur which is leading in INDIA. The LG is also having good distribution system all around the country.

CONCLUSION

This report has discussed about the opportunities for Elecdyne Company to expand its market a part from the Japan it has all the information regarding the various countries. I would like to say that India well be the better chance for Elecdyne to start up their business as it has many advantages like huge population and good infra structure and usage of electronic products are more. As India is a developing country it has all the opportunities for Elecydyne to enter in to Indian market. I suggest Elecdyne to go to India for their expansion of electronic products in order to achieve a profit for the company. 

People Resources such as Employee and Managers in Organizations

Determine the source available to assist in analyzing data information:

Data: this is raw. Beyond its existing, there is no significance for this. For this there is no particular form.

Information: this is defined as, giving the meaning to the data by using any relational connections. In the system language it is, from the data stored in the data base the relational data base, makes the information.

Knowledge: it is defined as “information collection”.  The data in this should be meaning full.

Technology resources such as hardware and software:

  • Hardware: it is the equipment uses in the system
  • Software: for controlling the hardware this software instructions are used.

For any technical resources these two are the major one and even with out of these two no technical resources are available.

People resources such as employee and managers in organizations:

In any organization the employee and the mangers are basic, without employee there is no organization and vice versa. The employee means they are doing the work and they don’t know about the complete product or the end product. But the manager should know about the final product and according to that he can assign the work to the employees who are under his control. By using these resources the organization will be develop.

Methods to develop the information:

These are used to support and inform the strategic decision making. They are

DIKAR (data information knowledge action result):

This model is used to help to determine and understand the management information quality attributes. The data and information are operational significance and knowledge, action and results are belongs to the strategic significance. The data quality contains the accuracy, validity, completeness and consistency information. The information quality contains the data clarity, relevance, definition clarity, presentation, availability and timeliness information. The knowledge quality contains the information quality, prior experience, ASHEN factors, tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge. The action quality contains the timely, appropriate and clarity information. Moreover, the results quality contains the efficiency, effectiveness and consistent objectives information.

ASHEN factors:

ASHEN means artefacts, skills, heuristics, experience and natural talent

  • Artefacts: means people make anything, which is processes, tools or documents in which embedded the knowledge.
  • Skills: means the capabilities, which are measured and trained without ambiguity.
  • Heuristics: means thumb rules. The experience result and knowledge repository are unarticulated.
  • Experience: the collected success and failure experience are allows the triggered correct pattern in the correct context.
  • Natural talent: many people are better in sometimes other than people and often not expect those people.

The ASHEN factors are used to assess the quality of knowledge at below points. They are

  • Problem solutions
  • Decisions
  • Solution creation
  • Learning points
  • Judgment

The results and actions quality is depend upon the performance of the organizational management systems. These kinds of systems are used to improve and calculate the efficiency and effectiveness.

The Tool of The Decision Making Which is Available to Support The Strategic Position

The SWOT analysis:

For supporting the strategic decision one of the available techniques is SWOT analysis. This is simple analysis method. This method is used widely because it is used to know about the business activity or project strengths, weakness, threats and the opportunities.

When using this SWOT analysis, the following are statement should be ensured. Those are:

  • Use verifiable statement only
  • The time will be specified on the factors which are most significant, for that the factors are prioritized whether they may be external or internal.
  • This analysis should be done at the project or business activity level.
  • In exclusivity it is not used.

The critical success factor:

In this mainly there are four types. Those are:

Industry critical success factor: this is used to know about the specific characteristics of the industry

Strategy critical factor: this is coming from the one of the business competitive strategy

Environmental critical success factor: this is coming from the changes of either technical or economical

Temporal critical success factor: this is from the changes and the needs of the internal organization.

The five key resources of the critical success factor are

  • Industry
  • Industry position and the competitive strategy
  • Environmental factor
  • Temporal factor
  • Managerial position (from the individual point of view)

Model driven DSS:

From various areas such as financial model, accounting model, optimization model and the representation model the DSS is driven by the underlying model. The main emphasize of this model is accessing and the manipulation of the model when compare to the data. In the situation Analyzation this method is using the parameters and the data for assist the decision makers.  It is not data intensive usually and it also not linked with the large data base.

Data driven DSS:

The data analysis systems, file drawer systems, analysis information systems are hard by this system and the main emphasize of this is data warehouse access to the large data base manipulation, this is done for the structured data.

Data mining:

In the private and the public sectors the data mining is the main aspect. The reason for this usage is to achieve the cost at low, the research is increasing and it also increases the sales of the products. So this is used presently in many industries such as insurance, banking, retailing and medicine. Firstly it uses in the public sector; the reason for this is avoiding the waste and the fraud. But the days are passed it also uses in the program performance measuring and the improving. In the data analyzing scope and the quantity this data mining shows the significant expansion.
