Ethics and Governance in Project Management Small Sins Allowed and the Line of Impunity

Ethics and Governance in Project Management Small Sins Allowed and the Line of Impunity

This book shows executive project program and portfolio managers how ethical behavior can ensure that an organization has proper governance. Improper governance and unethical behavior have led to such well-known financial disasters as Enron and Madoff Investments. The book arms managers with two important tools: Small Sins Allowed (SSA) and Line of Impunity (LoI) which together can be the foundation for renewed and vigorous corporate governance. SSA is a powerful tool that helps managers establish a level above which adherence to ethical standards is expected. LoI aids managers in identifying ethical fault lines that may exist in a company and helps to keep unethical behavior in check. | Ethics and Governance in Project Management Small Sins Allowed and the Line of Impunity

Practical Cryptography Algorithms and Implementations Using C++

Practical Cryptography Algorithms and Implementations Using C++

Cryptography the science of encoding and decoding information allows people to do online banking online trading and make online purchases without worrying that their personal information is being compromised. The dramatic increase of information transmitted electronically has led to an increased reliance on cryptography. This book discusses the theories and concepts behind modern cryptography and demonstrates how to develop and implement cryptographic algorithms using C++ programming language. Written for programmers and engineers Practical Cryptography explains how you can use cryptography to maintain the privacy of computer data. It describes dozens of cryptography algorithms gives practical advice on how to implement them into cryptographic software and shows how they can be used to solve security problems. Covering the latest developments in practical cryptographic techniques this book shows you how to build security into your computer applications networks and storage. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students in cryptography network security and other security-related courses this book will also help anyone involved in computer and network security who wants to learn the nuts and bolts of practical cryptography. | Practical Cryptography Algorithms and Implementations Using C++

Database Systems A Pragmatic Approach 3rd edition

Database Systems A Pragmatic Approach 3rd edition

This book provides a concise but comprehensive guide to the disciplines of database design construction implementation and management. Based on the authors’ professional experience in the software engineering and IT industries before making a career switch to academia the text stresses sound database design as a necessary precursor to successful development and administration of database systems. The discipline of database systems design and management is discussed within the context of the bigger picture of software engineering. Students are led to understand from the outset of the text that a database is a critical component of a software infrastructure and that proper database design and management is integral to the success of a software system. Additionally students are led to appreciate the huge value of a properly designed database to the success of a business enterprise. The text was written for three target audiences. It is suited for undergraduate students of computer science and related disciplines who are pursuing a course in database systems graduate students who are pursuing an introductory course to database and practicing software engineers and information technology (IT) professionals who need a quick reference on database design. Database Systems: A Pragmatic Approach 3rd Edition discusses concepts principles design implementation and management issues related to database systems. Each chapter is organized into brief reader-friendly conversational sections with itemization of salient points to be remembered. This pragmatic approach includes adequate treatment of database theory and practice based on strategies that have been tested proven and refined over several years. Features of the third edition include: Short paragraphs that express the salient aspects of each subject Bullet points itemizing important points for easy memorization Fully revised and updated diagrams and figures to illustrate concepts to enhance the student’s understanding Real-world examples Original methodologies applicable to database design Step-by-step student-friendly guidelines for solving generic database systems problems Opening chapter overviews and concluding chapter summaries Discussion of DBMS alternatives such as the Entity–Attributes–Value model NoSQL databases database-supporting frameworks and other burgeoning database technologies A chapter with sample assignment questions and case studies This textbook may be used as a one-semester or two-semester course in database systems augmented by a DBMS (preferably Oracle). After its usage students will come away with a firm grasp of the design development implementation and management of a database system. | Database Systems A Pragmatic Approach 3rd edition

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

The popularity of enterprise architecture (EA) has increased in the last two decades in both business and academic domains. Despite the cumulative interest from all sectors the implementation and practice of EA have been entangled with numerous challenges and complexities. Consequently some organisations continue to theorise the concept which has ramifications on practice and ROI. This has led to many studies that have been conducted to understand the complexities impacting the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Yet the trajectory of some convolutions remain a mystery in many quarters. This attributes to the struggle to articulate the value of EA in many environments. Hence many organisations find it difficult to apply EA for strategic management of modern information technology (IT) solutions. Enterprise Architecture for strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions provides guidance on how to employ EA in deploying and managing IT solutions from pragmatic and implementable perspectives. Until now implementation and practice of EA have been slow despite its growing popularity and interest from all sectors. This book employs sociotechnical theories such as actor-network theory (ANT) and structuration theory (ST) as lenses to examine and explain why and how challenges and complexities exist and derail the implementation or practice of EA in organisations. This serves to enable practitioners and readers to gain fresh insights on why the challenges exist and how they can be addressed in creating collaborative capabilities for business enhancement sustainability and competitiveness. The book provides detailed insights on how to apply EA for organisational purposes from three main fronts. First it explains the implications that lack of understanding of EA have on organisational activities and processes. Second it examines the challenges and complexities that hinder the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Third it proposes models and frameworks on how EA can be applied for strategic management of modern IT solutions in organisations. Written for postgraduates researchers academics and professionals in the fields of EA IT and information systems this book provides a valuable resource that will enable and enhance implementation and practice of EA including future studies.
