Review of the methods for the development of information security policies at organizations
2016
This thesis aims to have an overview of the current studies in the development of information security policy. The research is based on a systematical literature review. The study focuses on the development process of information security policy and other relevant issues in information security policy development within organizations. There are four research questions are proposed based on this topic: 1) what are the functions of information security policy; 2) what kind of stakeholders should be involved in the development of information security policy; 3) what is the information security policy lifecycle; 4) what are the methods in development of information security policy. The research…
Advantages of Public Cloud Infrastructure in Different Technology Adoption Lifecycle Stages
2012
Independent software vendors (ISV) utilize cloud infrastructure for different reasons. We hypothesize that the motivation to adopt cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) changes as the ISV’s product is getting adopted by the market. In this paper we consider how the infrastructure needs of ISVs change along the stages of ISV product’s adoption lifecycle, and analyze the potential benefits of utilizing IaaS in different stages. The analysis is illustrated with the cases of ISV firms with documented use of IaaS. These cases support the hypothesis that different benefits of IaaS are gaining importance along the adoption lifecycle. peerReviewed
RELATIONSHIP MARKETING - A CLIENT RELATIONSHIP LIFECYCLE PERSPECTIVE - THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE CLIENT ACQUISITION AND RETENTION PHASE
2015
The purpose of this paper is to review conceptually the first two phases of the client relationship lifecycle. In this regard, the author has structured the paper in two parts, the first one describing the client acquisition phase, and the second one the client retention phase. Thus, the client acquisition phase describes the actions undertaken by both the client and the company for starting an exchange relationship. Client retention is defined by using different theoretical surrogates (e.g. loyalty, rebuying behaviour), and determinants (e.g. satisfaction, social effects, anticipated regret of future use). Moreover, the dynamic character of this phase is taken in consideration by presentin…
RELATIONSHIP MARKETING - A CLIENT RELATIONSHIP LIFECYCLE PERSPECTIVE - THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE CLIENT REGAINING PHASE
2015
The purpose of this paper is to detail the relationship marketing theory by considering the client relationship lifecycle perspective, in general, and the regaining/dissolution phase, in particular. According to the specific literature, the last phase of a client-company relationship can either improve (re-winning or regaining phase) or end the relationship (dissolution phase). In this regard, the author presents the motives for which a client ends his relationship with the company and the means which the company can use in order to reduce the customer churn rate. Moreover, forms of the clients' complaining and revenge behaviour are described, as well as the companies' alternatives for mana…
Towards Practical Cybersecurity Mapping of STRIDE and CWE — a Multi-perspective Approach
2021
Software vulnerabilities are identified during their whole life-cycle; some vulnerabilities may be caused by flaws on the design while other appear due to advances on the technologies around the systems. Frameworks such as OWASP are well- known and are used for testing a systems security before or after implementation, and such testing is carried out against the existing system. Threat modeling however focuses on the early stages of the system design when it is feasible and easy to fix security-related flaws and prevent possible damage caused by them. For example, STRIDE is one very popular threat modeling framework. A STRIDE threat modelling specialist deals with abstract categorizations o…
Towards Dynamic Ontology - Integrating Tools of Evolution and Versionning in Ontology
2010
6; International audience; Since Gruber's definition, a lot of works focused on evolution or versioning issues. Not much attention has been paid to integrated solutions which resolve both these two purposes. In this paper we present a new semantic architecture that combines versioning tools with the evolution process. This architecture called VersionGraph is integrated in the source ontology since its creation in order to make it possible to evolve and to be versioned.
Cloud product capability assessment method
2015
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on lisätä osaamista tuotehallintaan, miten IT-palveluhallinta- ja kokonaisarkkitehtuurimenetelmiä voidaan integroida pilvipalveluiden tuotteistamiseen. Tutkimuksen toisena tavoitteena on rakentaa uusi pilvipalveluiden kyvykkyyksien hallintamenetelmä, jonka avulla pilvipalveluiden tuotteistusta voidaan hallita ideasta markkinoille saamiseen asti. Uusi menetelmä on tarkoitettu tuote- ja projektipäälliköille sekä arkkitehdeille, jotka työskentelevät pilvipalveluiden kanssa. Pilvipalvelulle luodaan liiketoiminnan näkökulmasta uusi määritelmä, annetaan lyhyt esittely pilvipalveluiden tuotehallinnasta sekä määritellään tarve liiketoiminnan ketteryydelle. IT-näkökulmassa tu…
Firm Lifecycles and External Restructuring
2011
This paper studies how firms contribute to the productivity growth of an industry over their lifecycle. We present a decomposition method that allows us to condition the components of productivity growth on the age of production units. We find evidence for a prolonged positive exit effect that mirrors market selection during the early stages of firms lifecycle. This effect is tightly related to the negative initial productivity effect of entry. We also find some evidence that productivity-enhancing reallocation of resources between firms is concentrated on the middle aged firms.
Basic assumptions for introducing circular solutions in the buildings sector
2016
Tradycyjne, linearne modele biznesowe są jedną z głównych przyczyn braku zrównoważonego rozwoju, nadmiernego wykorzystywania zasobów nieodnawialnych i energii, a także nadmiernego wytwarzania odpadów. Odpowiedź na te problemy stanowi koncepcja gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, której celem jest poprawa wydajności w gospodarowaniu zasobami i energią w każdej fazie cyklu życia produktu (usługi). Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie, co może być uznawane w sektorze budownictwa za produkt w ramach gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, a także, jakie rodzaje takich produktów i / lub usług mogłyby być potencjalnie wykorzystane przez firmy doradcze funkcjonujące między innymi w sektorze budo…
