...ways leaders of high performing Indian companies focus their time and energies. The findings are based on interviews of 105 leaders from 98 of the largest Indian-based companies across various fields. The finding of the study are very stark and intriguing. Unlike the CEOs of Western companies, who often claim that cleverness at the top coupled with skills in financial markets, mergers or dealing making is a key determinant of success, Indian leaders point to the motivation of their people, their biggest assets. The Indian managers/CEOs invest in their employees and give importance to their quality, skill improvements, retention etc. The Leadership style of Indian CEOs find echo in the words of Mr. S. Ramdorai, the former head of Tata Consultancy Services, when he said of his company’s success,“It’s all about human capital at the end of the day.”. The authors of the case also find that Indian business leaders emphasize upon the social mission of their work. According to them Indian business leaders regard Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a key part of social mission and employee motivation. Achieving CSR targets is monitored regularly by 40% of Indian companies while only 17% of US companies report regularly paying attention to this goal. Most of the western CEOs single-mindedly pursue shareholder value while ignoring social concerns. CEOs like Vineet Nayar (CEO of HCL Technologies), Ratan Tata ( Chairman of TATA Group), Azim Premji (Chairman of Wipro Ltd.) are the shinning...

...THE integration of CMC Ltd, which was acquired by Tata Sons earlier this year, with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is currently continuing on four to five different planes. This was stated by Mr Atul Takle, Vice-President — Corporate Communications, TCS, at an informal press meet here. According to him, the most important integration is being effected with regard to human resources. TCS is trying to incorporate its HR policies in the CMC format. The second step is being taken with regard to joint bidding for projects. Mr Takle said that sometimes both organisations were coming together and bidding jointly for a project. At other times, they were bidding separately. ``It varies from case to case. If we find that that by jointly bidding our purpose will be served, we do so. Otherwise, we bid separately. There is a constant exchange of views and flow of information among the two organisations,'' he said. A ``cultural'' integration was also on. According to Mr Takle, TCS was trying to inject its corporate and functioning culture into CMC. ``There is a wrong perception that CMC, being earlier a government organisation, lacks a modern corporate culture. This is not wholly true because CMC is made of IT professionals and they are totally aware of current corporate cultures,'' he said. TCS was also trying to initiate quality standards within CMC. ``We are also helping CMC in project delivery skills,'' he said. TCS was trying to sell CMC's business potential in the overseas...

...AC571_relational_database_005-019 Male Page 1 of 5 AC571_relational_database_005 Welcome to this refresher on relational database concepts. Understanding relational database concepts is a key to mastering a key theme, REA modeling. As we progress through this refresher, please pay close attention to the objectives being covered as you see on the screen. The objectives are as follows: problems inherent in the flat file approach to data management that gave rise to the relational database concept, relationships among the defining elements of the relational database environment, stages in database design, entity identification, data modeling, constructing the physical database, and preparing user views, features of distributive databases and issues to consider in deciding on a particular database configuration. These objectives will serve as the foundation for understanding relational database concepts and REA modeling. AC571_relational_database_006 Before we can get into the heart of relational database concepts one must understand the differences between two common database environments, flat file and relational databases. As you know, computer systems process data. This processing involves two key components, data and instructions, or programs. This occurs no matter what database environment you have. In order to process the data you need an interface. Conceptually there are two methods for designing the interface between program instructions and data. File oriented processing...

...Riordan Business-to-Business Web Site Use Case Scenarios Analysis In deciding which way to take Riordan Manufacturing’s business-to-business web site use case studies were performed and the top two scenarios were chosen for further analysis. Both scenarios present a way for Riordan to improve raw material ordering through different means. In order to decide which path to take the two scenarios will be discussed in greater detail including a brief synopsis on the technological role involving systems analysis and design, database design, programming, networking, and the web. Use Case 1 As described before, in use case scenario 1, a Riordan employee would log into a business-to-business web site and place an order with one of our partnered vendors as Figure 1 depicts. The employee logs into the secure website, chooses a vendor from a list, selects from the common list of products purchased from the vendor, chooses a quantity and enters a required by date, the vendor receives notification of an order, verifies credit status or requests credit card information, fills the order, generates an invoice, and ships the order to our warehouse. Use Case 2 In use case scenario 2, as shown in Figure 2, the approach to replenishing key inventory levels resides with the vendor. Triggers in the database alert the vendor via email that the level is at its threshold and then the supplier logs into the secure business-to-business web site, issues an order to ship replenishment supplies...

...1. a) What is a database? A database is an organized collection of related data. b) How does an RDBMS store data? An RDBMS stores related data in tables. 2. What is one benefit of dividing data into tables? Dividing data into tables eliminates unnecessary data duplication, or data redundancy. 3. a) What is a database schema? A database schema is a description of the data and the organization of the data into tables in a relational database. b) Explain the considerations for dividing data into related groups. Considerations for dividing data into related groups includes grouping information so that there is little or no data redundancy. However, each table must have data related to at least one other table, which will require data duplication. This is not considered data redundancy. A table with no relationship to any another table does not belong in the database. 4. a) What is a field? A column in a table. Used to store data. b) Explain why a field that stores more than one piece of data is considered poor design. A field that stores more than one piece of data limits the sorting and searching capabilities of the database. 5. List four guidelines to follow when choosing field names. 1. Make field names unique. 2. Choose the shortest possible...

...1. List the advantages of a relational model specific to ACME Global Consulting. Relational models can provide some very significant advantages over other methods. First, they are very easy to read due to the nature of two-dimensional tables. Columns and row format is straightforward and consists of a collection of similar data among rows that allow for the user to easily locate what they need. One of the biggest advantages of the relational model of database design is that its foundation is formal mathematical theory. It allows its concepts to be defined and examined with great precision. In other systems, the calculations may need to be done separately prior to using the database. 2. Summarize in your own words the purpose of an E-R model specific to ACME Global Consulting. The E-R model can provide ACME Global with a specific, but open-ended design that is tailored to the company’s needs. This also allows us to sketch the design of a database informally and incorporate changes in order to avoid problems later on. The E-R model allows for growth beyond its ideas at inception. It lays the groundwork for later database relational designs. 3. List and describe essential components of the model such as entities, attributes, keys, relationships, roles, and dependencies specific to ACME Global Consulting. Entity: real-world object or thing with an independent existence and which is distinguishable from other objects. Examples are a person, car, customer, product,...

...Language, the user describes the information desired without giving a specific procedural for obtaining the information. Relational Algebra Definition It is a procedure language. It consists of a set of operations that take one or more relations as input and produce a new relation as a result. The fundamental operations of relational algebra are select, project, union, set difference, Cartesian product and rename. Other operations are: Set intersection, natural join, division and assignment. • The basic set of operations for the relational model is known as the relational algebra. These operations enable a user to specify basic retrieval requests. • The result of retrieval is a new relation, which may have been formed from one or more relations. The algebra operations thus produce new relations, which can be further manipulated using operations of the same algebra. • A sequence of relational algebra operations forms a relational algebra expression, whose result will also be a relation that represents the result of a database query (or retrieval request). Keys • Let K ( R where K is a superkey of R if values for K are sufficient to identify a unique tuple of each possible relation r(R) – by “possible r” we mean a relation r that could exist in the enterprise we are modeling. – Example: {customer-name, customer-street} and {customer-name} are both...

...OLAP In computing, online analytical processing, or OLAP ( /ˈoʊlæp/), is an approach to answering multi-dimensional analytical (MDA) queries swiftly.[1] OLAP is part of the broader category of business intelligence, which also encompasses relational database report writing and data mining.[2] Typical applications of OLAP include business reporting for sales, marketing, management reporting, business process management (BPM),[3] budgeting and forecasting, financial reporting and similar areas, with new applications coming up, such as agriculture.[4] The term OLAP was created as a slight modification of the traditional database term OLTP (Online Transaction Processing).[5] OLAP tools enable users to analyze multidimensional data interactively from multiple perspectives. OLAP consists of three basic analytical operations: consolidation (roll-up), drill-down, and slicing and dicing.[6] Consolidation involves the aggregation of data that can be accumulated and computed in one or more dimensions. For example, all sales offices are rolled up to the sales department or sales division to anticipate sales trends. By contrast, the drill-down is a technique that allows users to navigate through the details. For instance, users can view the sales by individual products that make up a region’s sales. Slicing and dicing is a feature whereby users can take out (slicing) a specific set of data of the OLAP cube and view (dicing) the slices from different viewpoints. Databases configured...
