Organizations today are using information technology to capture
knowledge from experts and disseminate this knowledge to decision
makers. Having the right information to the right person at the
right time facilitates more effective and efficient decisions. This
study uses Goodhue's (1998) Task-Technology Fit (TTF) theoretical
model to evaluate an Expertise Transfer Forum (ETF) developed by
the Oklahoma State University for the Defense Ammunition Center's
quality assurance personnel. The preliminary findings suggest a
good fit between the ETF and problem-solving tasks assigned to
students in the DAC classroom environment. The participants also
offered the following observations: " The ETF was more suited to
the field environment because of the knowledge content " They would
only use the ETF if they had a question they could not get the
answer to " The ETF transcripts, videos, and nugget views were easy
to use " There should be more training on the use of the ETF "
Searching using the views was not as easy as a simple keyword
search " Expert vetting would enhance the currency and trust in the
knowledge " Interviewing instructors instead of and/or in addition
to the field experts " Technical issues in this study included
video buffering lag and some views that did not open Because of the
small N and the specific nature of the ETF content, there was not
enough statistical power to generalize our findings. Overall, the
findings from this study suggest when populated with current and
applicable knowledge, the ETF is a viable tool.

States pension law. In 1974, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act came to the Statute books, forcing US pension plan

Since its inception, several lawsuits have been filed under the
Sarbanes Oxley Act, some corporate executives are serving, or are
about to serve jail sentences, and several hundred million dollars
has been wiped off the share price of affected companies. In this
book, McGill & Sheppey examine how compliance is achieved and
maintained. It explores the startegies and tool sets that have led
compnaies to successfully manage compliance and suggests effective
measures for implemantation.
Sabanes-Oxley is a recent development in US law that will affect
both US and non-US firms seeking to comply with corporate
governance initiatives. There is particular relevance to the
financial services industry not just because of the fundamental
applicability of corporate governance to the firms themselves, but
because the firms act on behalf of many thousands of institutional
shareholders who have similar concerns over both the companies they
invest in as well as the duty of their custodians. This means that
there are issues of compliance, risk management and fiduciary duty
applicable to these firms and to the financial institutions
involved in their affairs. McGill and Sheppey illustrate the
broader context requiring investors and custodians to meet the
regulatory needs of specific jurisdiction and how best to structure
overall business models to meet multi-layer legal and operational
framework.

financial intermediaries and Institutional Investors. Covering 24
international regulations across the UK, Europe, Asia/Pacific and
the USA, the authors provide practical compliance tips for
financial intermediaries and guidance on best practice for
investors. The book highlights eight areas of critical overlap
where regulatory requirements conflict and give rise to potential
risk and liability. The authors use the historical perspective of
some regulations to paint a picture of the future convergence of
international regulation on data protection, corporate governance
and tax.
Environmental degradation. Poverty and malnutrition. Disease and
illiteracy. As the world's human population skyrockets and
resources grow scarce, the multinational corporation with its
ability to mobilize massive human and capital resources across
geopolitical boundaries may be mankind's best defense against an
onslaught of social ills. Many companies have already joined the
fray, launching ambitious global corporate citizenship programs
designed to improve the quality of life in the communities and
nations in which they operate. Their activities, the focus of this
groundbreaking work, are precursors to a new age of enlightened
capitalism, and their bold break with tradition is putting them
now, more than ever, in the public eye."
