Global delivery of IT services : looking beyond the global delivery model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The objective of this thesis is to analyze the factors that create competitive advantage through global delivery of IT services. Research on this thesis consists of a review of IT services markets and globally distributed ... -
Global demand transparency in the ABB supply chain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This paper attempts to provide a solution to a problem facing many multinational firms: the lack of an accessible and comprehensive database for up-to-date component part forecasts. We consider this problem in the context ... -
Global dynamic optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) on a set composed of the Cartesian product between the parameter bounds and the state bounds. Furthermore, I show that the solution of the differential equations is affine in the parameters. Because the feasible ... -
Global electronic funds transfer between small and medium sized companies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Cross-border electronic funds transfer is a rapidly expanding field for business and consumer payments. Large multi-national corporations have been able to invest the capital necessary to create infrastructures or work ... -
Global estimation of precipitation using opaque microwave bands
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis describes the use of opaque microwave bands for global estimation of precipitation rate. An algorithm was developed for estimating instantaneous precipitation rate for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) ... -
Global expansion strategies for software firms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The business competition in the software industry is increasingly becoming a global competition. In this era with a fast-paced innovative environment, strategy plays an important role for managers in software companies in ... -
Global factors and the pricing of sovereign risk
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)I study the effects of US Macroeconomic surprises on the pricing of sovereign risk of sixty-six countries in the period 2002-2017 using daily CDS data. I also explore how a country spread's sensitivity to these shocks ... -
A global framework for scene gist
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Human observers are able to rapidly and accurately categorize natural scenes, but the representation mediating this feat is still unknown. Here we propose a framework of rapid scene categorization that does not segment a ... -
The global integration challenge : global management teams, temporal differences, and constructing the identity of the global 'other'
