Security implications for a wired India: Challenges ahead
Abstract India has earned a significant place in the global Information Technology (IT) industry and aspires to be an IT superpower in the future. With an expanding IT infrastructure, the nation is getting ‘wired’ to the ‘global village’ at a rapid pace. Ironically, the technology that empowers us also exposes us to new threats. These threats do not recognise borders and impinge on nearly every cross‐section of our society. The article covers the security implications for a ‘Wired India’ under the military, political, economic and social dimensions. While information security as a concept is gaining ground, a more holistic and integrated approach is imperative for bridging the gaps and warding off the threats successfully.
Information technology—Advantage India
India's information technology (IT) strategy started 5000 years ago when an Indian scientist Aryabhatta invented the digit zero. The use of this digit for positional notation in the decimal system, together with the consistent use of zero, proved to be the final solution of an important computational difficulty, and the world by and large has used it ever since. Had Indią taken the copyright for this discovery, almost 50 percent of the inventions in the computer industry would have been Indian. However, Indian philosophy preaches that by sharing knowledge one's own knowledge gets enhanced. This is proving to be true in today's knowledge-based society. India, after having missed the industrial revolution, is on the threshold of the information revolution. A combination of factors, some global and some of our own doing have created an environment suitable for making India an economic superpower in the 21st century.
A LITERATURE REIEW OF TARGET COSTING IN SSCI AND SCI&SCI-EXPANDED INDEXES
Target costing as a cost management and profit planning system is used by many competitive firms since 1970s. Although the concept is simple, the implementation needs an extensive collaboration inside and outside of the organization. In contrast, many organization managers think that target costing is just related with accounting and finance staff. Our study aims to review the literature of this important concept; target costing by examining 41 English articles published in SSCI and SCI&SCI-Expanded between 1985-2008. The study aims to briefly explain the content of each article to show the reader what has accomplished so far.
