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.

Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

The growing importance of projects in organizations combined with difficulties in their implementation is accompanied by the need for professional knowledge in the field of project management. It results from the complexity of project management problems and the difficulty of knowledge that must be applied. However surprisingly little is known about this topic especially in the context of European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: A European Perspective attempts to fill this specific research gap. The book analyses the process of managing projects being implemented by small and medium-sized firms from Europe identifies organizational processes and verifies which elements of these processes require improvement. It concentrates on issues around the multifaceted characteristics of project management with particular emphasis on the process of managing European small and medium enterprises. The book is the result of many years of empirical research and consists of two main parts: A systematization of concepts terminology and thus knowledge in the field of project management with particular emphasis on the phases of planning organizing as well as leading and controlling in the project as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy. A systematization of concepts terminology and thus knowledge in the field of project management with particular emphasis on the phases of planning organizing as well as leading and controlling in the project as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy Verification and development of such model procedures in the management of projects so that the SME enterprises’ functioning will be efficient and effective. There is a close relationship between the two parts. The theoretical part is the foundation on which practical considerations are later carried out. Integrating theoretical and practical issues the book introduces new content to the literature and has the practical value of indicating how to manage projects in SMEs in the European Union. It also examines the decision-making processes related to project management in these organizations. | Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

Database Modeling Step by Step

Database Modeling Step by Step

With the aim of simplifying relational database modeling Database Modeling Step-by-Step presents the standard approach to database normalization and then adds its own approach which is a more simplistic intuitive way to building relational database models. Going from basics to contemporary topics the book opens with relational data modeling and ends with BigData database modeling following a road map of the evolution in relational modeling and including brief introductions to data warehousing and BigData modeling. A break-down of the elements of a model explains what makes up a relational data model. This is followed by a comparison between standard normalization and a more simplistic intuitive approach to data modeling that a beginner can follow and understand. A brief chapter explains how to use the database programming language SQL (Structured Query Language) which reads from and writes to a relational database. SQL is fundamental to data modeling because it helps in understanding how the model is used. In addition to the relational model the last three chapters cover important modern world topics including denormalization that leads into data warehouses and BigData database modeling. The book explains how there is not much to logical data modeling in BigData databases because as they are often schema-less which means that BigData databases do not have schemas embedded into the database itself they have no metadata and thus not much of a logical data model. Online bonus chapters include a case study that covers relational data modeling and are available at the author’s web site: www. oracletroubleshooter. com/datamodeling. html | Database Modeling Step by Step

Project Management Methodologies Governance and Success Insight from Traditional and Transformative Research

Project Management Methodologies Governance and Success Insight from Traditional and Transformative Research

With all signs pointing to an increased use of and interest in project-based work in modern organizations the better scholars are able to make sense of the current state of the field through theory development and empirical investigation the more successful projects promise to become. This book is a welcome addition to our field and will be I am sure an important work and source for future reference well into the future. —Dr. Jeffrey Pinto Pennsylvania State UniversityThe goal of practicing project managers and scholars alike lies in solving the puzzle of how to manage projects toward successful completion. However understanding what comprises project success—seemingly such an innocent question—has come to represent one of the most challenging problems for project managers and scholars. Who determines success? At what point in time is success best measured? How do diverse stakeholders define success? What happens when their perspectives collide? What is the difference between project success and project management success? These are surprisingly complex problems. For every principle or rule posited a brief investigation reveals that there are numerous exceptions muddying the waters and making these ideas increasingly opaque. Project Management Methodologies Governance and Success addresses this challenge head-on putting into proper context the critical issues that shape our understanding of the project management research process. Employing a concept referred to as philosophical triangulation the book shows how to overcome the weaknesses or intrinsic biases that disrupt and minimize the impact of so much organizational research. It places organizational governance and success within their proper context allowing scholars to identify the best methods for investigating project-based work. It links together in a cogent manner the diverse themes of research theory and design projects and project success and organizational governance. In effect this book demonstrates that to fully understand how to undertake research in projects theory and method are inextricably interwoven. | Project Management Methodologies Governance and Success Insight from Traditional and Transformative Research
