Colonial imprints and the power of language in organizational members talk

The aim of the paper is to discuss, with a broadly postcolonial sensibility, the complex role that language has come to play in the contemporary process of globalization. It attempts to show that language, besides being a medium of communication, has come to play a crucial role in companies’ conquest of the global market, on the one hand, and in defending a general idea of an imaginary homogenous

Benefits of ICT in the construction industry - characterization of the present situation in house-building processes

Departing from the hypothesis that R&D within ICT plays an essential role in the transformation of the construction sector from a traditional to an industrialised process, a joint Swedish and French project has been carried out (to be completed in April 2007) to assess the short and medium term possibilities to improve efficiency and quality in multi-storey house-building. This paper describes

Cloud ERP Adoption Opportunities and Concerns: A Comparison between SMES and Large Companies

Cloud computing has become one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. In the wake of this, cloud based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have emerged as an alternative to traditional ERPs These systems require low upfront investments and can rapidly be deployed, as they are provided over the cloud. In this study we seek to unravel cloud ERP adoption by identifying and classif

How Iran Adapts Itself to International Sanctions: Asianization of Trade and Economic Regionalism

In fact, a chief strategy of the Iranian government to minimise the grave economic effects of sanctions has been to shift its international trade direction from the West to the East and resort to further regional ties. In other words, the government has moved to adapt itself to the pressing circumstances by adopting a trade policy of Asianization and economic regionalism. It cannot be denied that

Integrated Scheduling and Synthesis of Control Applications on Distributed Embedded Systems

Many embedded control systems comprise several control loops that are closed over a network of computation nodes. In such systems, complex timing behavior and communication lead to delay and jitter, which both degrade the performance of each control loop and must be considered during the controller synthesis. Also, the control performance should be taken into account during system scheduling. The

Paradoxical Production Cultures A tale of two films based on Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The objective of this paper is to briefly examine and contrast the two audiovisual productions of Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s first novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from the perspective that the two films were prepared, shot and finalized within vastly dissimilar production economies. The rationale behind the examination is that it seemingly reveals certain paradoxes that appear to challen
