Abstract:

The interest for Business Process Management (BPM) is increasing in Sweden. Government agencies such as the Swedish Nation Board of Student Aid (CSN), the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) are implementing BPM into their organizations. Sogeti is an IT-consulting company that has employees that works at CSN with BPM, and one of the tools they use for integration is IBM Integration Designer. Since this technology is new and is gaining popularity, there is a need for increased knowledge about it. This thesis report explores the tool IBM Integration Designer, regarding its different ways to integrate with systems and compares the different options for exposing the integration solu- tions. By researching documentation from IBM, and by learning how to use the tool itself, knowledge could be acquired about IBM Integration Designer. The result was an implementation of the five different export bindings: SCA, HTTP, SOAP over HTTP, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and Java Messaging Service (JMS), a comparison of these export bindings and finally a service in IBM Inte- gration Designer that accesses a database and uses an external SMS API to send text messages. The result has been satisfactory to the purpose of this project in giving insight into IBM Integration Designer, one of the popular tools for inte- grating BMP.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1989 / Town & Country Hotel & Convention Center, San Diego, California
The Voice Main Card (VMC) functions as an enhanced telephone answering machine and is designed as a plug-in card for the IBM PC and compatibles. In addition to standard answering machine functions, the VMC features programmable outgoing message selection, message routing, response to caller's touch tone signals, and remote programming ability. The VMC will answer incoming telephone calls, deliver outgoing messages which are Programmably selectable from as many as 16 digitized audio messages stored on the PC's hard disk, record incoming messages to the hard disk or optionally to an external tape recorder, route messages to a specified receiver, respond to a caller's touch tone signals, and enter a remote programming mode as a result of a special code sent by the caller. Audio messages are processed digitally via A/D and D/A converters which receive and send 8-bit data to and from the IBM PC through a selectable port address. The A/D conversion is implemented with the ADC0802 which is operated at a clock rate of 512 kHz. The D/A conversion is implemented with the DAC0830. Interface with the telephone line is accomplished with the speech circuit TP5700 coupled through opto-couplers. Messages are recorded using an external 600-ohm dynamic microphone and played back through an external 8-ohm speaker. A full-featured, pull-down menu program is provided with the VMC and implements all programmable functions. Data In/Out (I/O) with the card is interrupt-driven to allow apparent simultaneous disk I/O.

Abstract:

This paper describes the IBM Power8 system in comparison to the Intel Xeon processors, widely used in today’s solutions. The performance is not evaluated only on the whole system level but also on the level of threads, cores and a memory. Different metrics are demonstrated on typical optimized algorithms. The benchmarked Power8 processor provides extremely fast memory providing sustainable bandwidth up to 145 GB/s between main memory and processor, which Intel is unable to compete. Computation power is comparable (Matrix multiplication) or worse (N-body simulation, division, more complex algorithms) in comparison with current Intel Haswell-EP. The IBM Power8 is able to compete Intel processors these days and it will be interesting to observe the future generation of Power9 and its performance in comparison to current and future Intel processors.

Abstract:

Cloud services are one of the fast expanding fields of today. Companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM offer these cloud services in various forms. As this field progresses, the natural question occurs ”What can you do with the technology today?”. The technology offers scalability for hardware usage and user demands, that is attractive to developers and companies. This thesis tries to examine the applicability of cloud services, by combining it with the question: ”Is it possible to make an automated thesis examiner?” By narrowing down the services to IBM Watson web services, this thesis main question reads ”Is it possible to make an automated thesis examiner using IBM Watson?”. Hence the goal of this thesis was to create an automated thesis examiner. The project used a modified version of Bunge’s technological research method. Where amongst the first steps, a definition of an software thesis examiner for student theses was created. Then an empirical study of the Watson services, that seemed relevant from the literature study, proceeded. These empirical studies allowed a deeper understanding about the services’ practices and boundaries. From these implications and the definition of a software thesis examiner for student theses, an idea of how to build and implement an automated thesis examiner was created. Most of IBM Watson’s services were thoroughly evaluated, except for the service Machine Learning, that should have been studied further if the time resources would not have been depleted. This project found the Watson web services useful in many cases but did not find a service that was well suited for thesis examination. Although the goal was not reached, this thesis researched the Watson web services and can be used to improve understanding of its applicability, and for future implementations that face the provided definition.
Molntjänster är ett av de områden som utvecklas snabbast idag. Företag såsom Amazon, Google, Microsoft och IBM tillhandahåller dessa tjänster i flera former. Allteftersom utvecklingen tar fart, uppstår den naturliga frågan ”Vad kan man göra med den här tekniken idag?”. Tekniken erbjuder en skalbarhet mot använd hårdvara och antalet användare, som är attraktiv för utvecklare och företag. Det här examensarbetet försöker svara på hur molntjänster kan användas genom att kombinera det med frågan ”Är det möjligt att skapa en automatiserad examensarbetesrapportsgranskare?”. Genom att avgränsa undersökningen till IBM Watson molntjänster försöker arbetet huvudsakligen svara på huvudfrågan ”Är det möjligt att skapa en automatiserad examensarbetesrapportsgranskare med Watson molntjänster?”. Därmed var målet med arbetet att skapa en automatiserad examensarbetesrapportsgranskare. Projektet följde en modifierad version av Bunge’s teknologiska undersökningsmetod, där det första steget var att skapa en definition för en mjukvaruexamensarbetesrapportsgranskare följt av en utredning av de Watson molntjänster som ansågs relevanta från litteratur studien. Dessa undersöktes sedan vidare i empirisk studie. Genom de empiriska studierna skapades förståelse för tjänsternas tillämpligheter och begränsningar, för att kunna kartlägga hur de kan användas i en automatiserad examensarbetsrapportsgranskare. De flesta tjänster behandlades grundligt, förutom Machine Learning, som skulle behövt vidare undersökning om inte tidsresurserna tog slut. Projektet visar på att Watson molntjänster är användbara men inte perfekt anpassade för att granska examensarbetesrapporter. Även om inte målet uppnåddes, undersöktes Watson molntjänster, vilket kan ge förståelse för deras användbarhet och framtida implementationer för att möta den skapade definitionen.

Abstract:

In recent years, Business Intelligence is one of the fastest growing software industry according to foreign analyzes. More and more companies realize the importance of tools for Business Intelligence and dashboarding. That is why I chose this topic for my thesis. The main part of this thesis focuses on study support for subject 4IT314 Enterprise Information Systems. This course teaches student how to work with the ERP system Microsoft Dynamics AX. The main shortage of this subject is the lack of feedback to students. Therefore it was decide to integrate BI tools that will be used for dashboarding over database of Microsoft Dynamics AX. In the theoretical part are explains the basic terms essential to understanding BI and dashboarding. On the basis of defined criteria was chose BI tool for integration in to the subject 4IT314. In the practical part of this thesis is described the implementation of this tool and created user documentation, which is used as study materials for students.

Abstract:

Molecular mechanics calculations are force field calculations which treat a molecule as a collection of particles held together by simple harmonic forces. MM2P1 is a research and teaching tool used to investigate: 1. molecular conformations 2. thermodynamic properties 3. vibrational spectra 4. crystal packing arrangements The harmonic forces are described in terms of potential energy functions which are summed to give the overall molecular potential energy, E, of the molecule which is defined by the Westheimer Equation: E = Eg + E b + E^ + Enb where E$ is the energy of bond deformation, Eb is the energy of bending, Ey is the torsional energy, and Enb is the energy of non-bonded interactions. Molecular mechanics is an attempt to formulate as reliable a recipe, as possible, for reproaching the potential energy surface for the movement of atoms within a molecule. MM2P1 is a molecular mechanics computer program that runs on the IBM 370/158 minicomputer and now has been revised to accomodate the IBM microcomputer. INTERFACE OF A GRAPHICS TABLE/4662 DIGITAL PLOTTER TO AN APPLE II PLUS MICROCOMPUTER Software support was created for the APPLE Graphics Tablet and the 4662 Digital Plotter after they were both interfaced to an APPLE LI microcomputer. The purpose of this project was to provide a means of capturing data (in the x-y format) from the graphics tablet to the microcomputer with the option of sending this data to the plotter. This digitization is different from the manufacturer's software package in that a spectral band is plotted from the inputted data. These points are stored for further manipulation. TRANSLATION OF RESOLVE (A COMPUTER PROGRAM) FROM FORTRAN IV TO APPLE PASCAL A method of resolving overlapping electronic bands is transcribed from the high-level language FORTRAN to the high-level language PASCAL. Pascal is a more structured language and it permits the detail and structure of a program solution to be expressed in terms of the information to be processed and the actions to be performed. With this differential method, the spectral bands are assumed to be Gaussian shaped. Also, the method provides information of the individual component peak positions, band heights and band widths.

Abstract:

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar, através de medidas de Ressonância Fluorescente Nuclear (RFN) para o núcelo deformado de 153Eu, a intensidade integrada de ressonâncias localizadas de dipolo associadas a modos de movimento como o modo tesoura Ml (ressonâncias anãs). Foi utilizado o feixe de elétrons do acelerador Dynamitron da Universidade de Stuttgart (Eo = 4,3 MeV) e detetores de Ge(HP) e Ge(Li) de alta resolução para a obtenção de informações detalhadas acerca das energias de excitação, larguras de decaimento, probabilidades de transição e razões de ramificação. Os resultados obtidos para o 153Eu são comparados com os obtidos recentemente para seus vizinhos ímpares (161,163Dy, 155,157Gd e 159Tb) e com as previsões do Modelo de Bósons e Férmions Interagentes (MBFI). Enquanto os isótopos ímpares de Dy apresentam uma certa concentração de intensidade de dipolo ao redor de 3MeV, os isótopos ímpares de Gd apresentam uma extrema fragmentação de intensidade de dipolo (25 transições para o 155Gd e 90 transições para o 157Gd), na faixa de energia de 2-4 MeV. O núcleo de 153Eu quando comparado aos isótopos ímpares de Dy, Gd e Tb, apresenta uma pequena fragmentação, com baixa intensidade de dipolo. Em geral, a intensidade de dipolo total em núcleos ímpares é menor (por um fator 2-3), quando comparada com seus vizinhos pares. Esta diferença de intensidade entre os isótopos ímpares de Eu, Dy, Gd e Tb é inexplicável até agora.
The aim of this work was to perform Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) measurements for the 153Eu deformed nucleus associated to Ml scissors mode. Using the bremsstrahlung photon beam of the Stuttgart Dynamitron (endpoint energy 4.3 MeV) and high resolution Ge spectrometers, detailed information was obtained on excitation energies, decay widths, transition probabilities, and branching ratios. The results are compared to those observed recently for the neighboring odd nuclei 161,163Dy, 155,157Gd and 159Tb and with the Interacting Boson Fermion Model (IBFM). Whereas in the odd Dy isotopes the dipole strength is rather concentrated, both Gd isotopes show a strong fragmentation of the strength into about 25 (155Gd) and 90 transitions (157Gd) in the energy range 2-4 MeV. The nucleus 153Eu as compared to these odd Dy, Gd and Tb isotopes exhibits a small fragmentation with low strength. In general the observed total strength in the odd nuclei is reduced by a factor of 2-3 as compared to their neighboring even-even isotopes. The different fragmentation behavior of the dipole strengths in the odd Dy, Gd, Tb and Eu isotopes is unexplained up to now.

Abstract:

Increasingly, MNC’s transfer parts of their operation to low wage countries in order to cut costs. The theory refers to this as to ‘offshoring’. The transfer of knowledge is a critical part of a successful offshoring project. In cross-boarder projects culture will influence the work. Thus, the aim of this paper is to deepen our understanding of the effects of culture and to reveal unexplored areas in the existing theories, through that the paper contributes with implications for how cultural challenges can be dealt with in an operational context.

By connecting leading theories on knowledge transfer, offshoring and culture, a theoretical framework has been created. In order to expand the existing the theories a case study was conducted at IBM, studying two offshoring projects to India. The case study was conducted through eight qualitative interviews with six different respondents. All respondents were managers in IBM Nordic and IBM India. The interviews were conducted individually and as focus groups and carried out as discussions. The empirical data presented in the study also consists of information derived from strategy documents,provided to us by IBM.

We found a number of factors to be considered in offshoring projects, which were not part of the theoretical framework,e.g. responsibilities for governance of the project should be decided and that the HR department should be involved from the start. Furthermore we found some areas of the process, which were more influenced by culture than others, such as what creates motivation and trust.

Abstract:

Många studenter behöver en web-baserad tjänst som de kan uppnå målet inom sina studier. Många studenter inom IT-området måste ladda ner mängder av programvaror och satsa relativt mycket pengar på sina datorer för att ha tillräckligt utrymme och processorkraft att köra olika program under sin studietid. Studenterna behöver en smidig, mångsidig och flexibel internetbaserad plattform som de kan komma åt när som helst, var som helst och från vilken enhet som helst. Dessutom är användbarhet hos plattformen en viktig aspekt för att supportera studenternas arbete. Bluemix är en Plattform as a Service (PaaS) - en typ av molntjänst. På Bluemix kan människor inom IT-området skapa, ändra, uppdatera och lagra sina applikationer med olika programmeringsspråk och de kan lägga olika tjänster till sina applikationer smidigt och snabbt. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utvärdera användbarhet av molntjänstplattformen Bluemix och undersöka vilken nytta som användare kan få när de använder plattformen. Den huvudsakliga målgruppen utgör studenter inom IT-området. Data har samlats in med hjälp av olika tekniker till exempel användartester, observation, tänka-högt (Think Aloud), intervju och enkät. Undersökningen visar att molntjänstplattformen Bluemix har god användbarhet fastän det finns några punkter som inte följer principer för god användbarhet. Dessutom är den en plattform som många testpersoner (studenter) önskar kan användas på universitetet. Nyckelord: Användbarhet, molntjänst, PaaS, SaaS, Bluemix, designprinciper, användartester, ITutbildning

Abstract:

Business Intelligence platforms contain many detailed tools with overlapping functionality. The primary aim of this thesis is to compare two BI platforms from leaders in the market - IBM Cognos BI (version 10) and SAP Business Objects (version 3.1). This comparison emphasises their practical usefulness in both ad hoc and standard reporting. In the first theoretical chapter there is a definition of basic terms and a brief description of the BI solution. In the following two chapters there are detailed descriptions of IBM Cognos BI and SAP Business Objects platforms including the most important tools. The theoretical part of this thesis is based mostly on documentation. The practical part of this thesis defines criteria for the evaluation of BI platforms. Following this chapter is the main comparison based mostly on my practical experience with each tool and experience from a migration project from IBM Cognos to SAP BO. Workarounds are described in some cases to compensate for missing functionality. The results this thesis are evaluation criteria as well as a description and comparison of both platforms. The merit of this thesis is an identification of problematic functionality present in BI solutions from the points of view of new development, implementation and migration.

Abstract:

Dramatic increasing of amount of data in running a business has been consireded a typical phenomenon of the last decade. This fact, however, has its impact on the business planning and decision making. The area, which deals with this problematics, is called Business Intelligence (BI). The problem lies in the implementation of applications directing to the BI, because it is often oriented only on isolated projects, so they cause only partial effect. In such cases, BI cannot fulfil the expected role, but still preserves the negatives instead. By saying negatives, it is meant: complicated searching for analytical outputs, significant dete-rioration of their output data, cost increase in administation of BI systems, and others. The solution can represented by integration of partial BI systems and by transfer of their BI metadata into a single informational system, serving as an "entering gate" for all the business workers. From the whole company perspective, there exist also benefits in the metadata managament, such as: determination of quality and usage of reports, prolonging of the life cycle, cooperative forming of the knowledge basis, consolidation of the terms in the business, more efficient way of browsing in the system and comprehensibility of analytical system's outputs. The aim of this diploma thesis is formation of a metadata presentation and its realization into a preselected information system, together with meeting of the advantages resulting from applying business metadata.

Abstract:

La strategia di diversificazione ha l’obiettivo di sviluppare la presenza competitiva di un’impresa in una molteplicità di settori, non necessariamente correlati. Un’impresa diversificata ha le competenze e il vantaggio di realizzare, quindi, una quota significativa del proprio volume d’affari in settori diversi da quello di origine, o comunque considerato come principale. Ciò che ha suscitato in me maggiore interesse, nell'ambito delle strategie e delle decisioni aziendali e in particolar modo lo studio della diversificazione del mercato, è cercare di capire quali siano le ragioni che conducono le aziende, di grandi e piccole dimensioni, ad ampliare il proprio raggio d’azione. Oggetto di studio e di analisi è il caso IBM – International Business Machine – considerata, a tutt'oggi, una delle più grandi aziende che, da oltre un secolo, opera nel settore informatico. Lo scopo di questo elaborato è cercare di capire quali siano stati in questi lunghi anni e quali tuttora sono gli obiettivi del management aziendale di IBM, che hanno portato ad un lento addio della divisione hardware e puntato su nuove aree di business, cercando di analizzare, nel dettaglio, la strategia di diversificazione attuata. Nel primo capitolo verrà esposta la strategia di diversificazione. Per inquadrare l'ambito di discussione di questo elaborato, verranno esposti i punti fondamentali dell’analisi di settore, la gestione delle imprese diversificate e le decisioni di portafoglio.

Abstract:

With the shift from batch applications to online systems supporting the strategic role of information, corporate or institutional goals tie directly to the information management functions. This has been true at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). Like many other Government installations, the NPS Computer Center has to meet its objectives with less than state-of-the-art hardware. In the early 1980's, the Center employed IBM's 3850 Mass Storage Subsystem (MSS) for online storage of student and faculty data sets. It was installed in December 1980 and performed well for over six years. Faced with IBM's announcement (in February 1985) of the limited future connectivity and compatibility and the increasing maintenance costs, the decision was made to replace the MSS with hardware/software alternative that would use a more modern and reliable architecture. The objective of this thesis is to define the solution, and data set migration process, and describe the early experience with a multi-level, software-managed, storage system

Full text

Abstract:

The phenomena of Two-Phase Flow with large density ratio (about 1000:1) in porous media occurs in many environmental and industrial processes. This thesis aims to develop a numerical tool to simulate the Two-Phase Flow along curved solid boundaries with Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. In addition, a modified Ghost Fluid Immersed Boundary (GFIB) model is proposed to capture the local interaction behaviour among fluids and curved boundaries. The code is first checked with the droplet test, capillary rise test, capillary bridge test and contact line dynamic test and all cases resulted in less than 5.0% error in comparison with the analytical solutions. Then it is further verified with capillary rise in porous media and the numerical pressure satisfies the theoretical one with 12.7% error. In addition, the parameter studies are conducted to gauge the influence of four main parameters in the model, including the interface thickness, the mobility, the domain size and the grid resolution with good results. As a result, the new code with the LB-GFIB model can provide an alternative way to study the complex process of Two-Phase Flow in the porous media.

Abstract:

The advent of the Personal Computer into the technical world has, at an extremely reasonable expense and trouble, made available to us, considerable computational power. But, as it was with computers, the next logical step is to have multiple units running in concert, or, in other words, sharing the load. This leads to the concept of Multiprocessing in order to attain an enhancement in operation speed and superior efficiency. The IBM PC is a versatile and market proven personal computer with a very large volume of software support and the STD Bus is a standard that has been developed to cope with a variable support, i.e. different processors and different I/O capabilities. Together, they combine the user interface - the display and keyboard Â· of the PC, the processing capabilities of the PC, the I/O capabilities of the STD Bus and the support processing possible on the STD Bus. The resulting system is powerful, easy to use and it has a lot of scope for development.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the development of an interactive programming system for the IBM 7545 robot. Various methods of robot programming are discussed, and the reasons for the development of such an interactive programming system are provided. The development of this system was divided into five phases, namely, the development of the pseudo-compiler, development of the "system control" program, integration of ASSEMBLY routines, development of the "motion control" program, and the development of test programs. The approach used for each of these five stages are outlined, and a reference to the use of the system is given. A description of the development of each stage is then given, and the logic associated with all programs are described, and the purpose and operation of all subroutines are also presented. Some assumptions and limitations of the system are explained, and the operational aspects of the system are described. Additional work needed to improve this system is outlined, and the feasibility of using the concept of this system on other robot programming languages on the IBM 7545 robot are also discussed.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to design a simple, efficient, single-user multitasking kernel for real-time applications on the IBM Personal Computer. Since real-time application consists of many tasks and their order of execution cannot be predetermined, it is almost impossible to write a monolithic block of code that can meet the response time of all the tasks. By using multitasking, each task is assigned a priority based on the urgency of its response time. The kernel uses a priority-based preemptive scheduling strategy to select a new task to run, so the highest-priority task can always get to run when it is ready. The Basic Input/Output System of the PC is rewritten to be reentrant so that it can be shared by multiple tasks.

Alegando razões de eficiência, muitas firmas vêm crescentemente adotando a terceirização de TI como um meio de conseguir economia de custos, maior foco em suas operações e alinhamento estratégico. Não obstante as razões verbalmente alegadas pelas empresas para terceirizar serviços de TI todas elas buscam a prestação de serviço em TI como uma forma de transferir a eficiência da prestadora de serviços para a empresa cliente. Com a competitividade cada vez maior entre as prestadoras de serviço e por mais que as empresas prestadoras de serviço tentem diferenciar-se entre si, o fato é que não existem muitas diferenças que possam saltar a vista entre os grandes prestadores de serviço de terceirização de TI atuais, pois fornecem de forma quase que indiferente custo, qualidade, expertise técnica, métodos e processos, experiência comprovada, boa saúde financeira, presença global. Mas porque alguns provedores de serviço de TI conseguem ser mais eficiente que seus clientes? Porque os departamentos de TI, das empresas clientes, têm dificuldade de copiar o modelo destes fornecedores e operar com os mesmos patamares de eficiência? Quais as dificuldades e barreiras que existem? Quais as melhores práticas adotadas pela provedora de serviço e pelo cliente para realizar uma terceirização de serviços de TI com sucesso? Este trabalho analisa em caráter exploratório, através de um estudo de caso, a terceirização de TI feita pela CPR (Canadian Pacific Railroad) em 2003 junto à IBM Canadá, aonde seu custo contratual teve uma redução de cerca de 20% do custo original de operação da CPR , buscando identificar porque que algumas empresas prestadoras de serviço de TI conseguem ser mais eficiente que seus clientes, porque não se optou em realizar a transformação internamente e quais as melhores práticas adotadas pela provedora de serviço para realizar uma terceirização de serviços de TI com sucesso. Para isto, o trabalho parte da literatura para indicar possíveis fatores motivadores para a terceirização assim como as melhores práticas de gestão utilizadas atualmente pelas prestadoras de serviço e empresas clientes para uma terceirização de serviços de TI. Posteriormente segue para uma etapa de campo, em busca de elementos que permitam a análise de sua relevância. Os fundamentos teóricos para a terceirização se basearam na: Teoria de Custos de Transação (TCT -Transaction Cost Theory) e na Teoria Baseada em Recursos (RBT-Resource Base Theory). Na etapa de campo explorou-se um projeto de terceirização de infra-estrutura de TI entre a IBM e CPR (Canadian Pacific Railroad), aonde foram feitas entrevistas estruturadas com os gestores do cliente CPR, gestores da prestadora de serviços IBM, assim como analisados materiais produzidos pelo projeto, com o objetivo de identificar porque algumas empresas prestadoras de serviço de TI conseguem ser mais eficiente que seus clientes. Os resultados encontrados apontam que a CPR possuía uma menor eficiência do que a IBM por razões: de foco, de processo e de escala. Tais características são em si não facilmente imitáveis pela empresa cliente tornando a parceria estratégica a melhor solução para o aumento de eficiência operacional na empresa cliente.

Abstract:

The company Sisyfos Digital AB host some of their solution on the cloud, and have expressed an interest in scaling their applications. The ability to scale applications can be an important factor to achieve high availability, and therefore led to questions such as in what extent is this possible and efficient for different applications. Using a service for scaling on this cloud infrastructure, testing with multiple applications and varying incoming requests, the goal was evaluate benchmarks and identify bottlenecks for incoming requests with its response time. The results show that depending on the application, scaling can be a valuable tool under the right prerequisites. Some of these prerequisites need to be evaluated beforehand, and the successfulness of the scaling is dependent on it. Under the right conditions, an almost linear result can be achieved when scaling between one and three instances. However, the most significant aspect of scaling is the identification of bottlenecks in the application.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M. in Technology and Policy)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, Technology and Policy Program, 2009.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 111-118).
Sustainability is one of the greatest challenges we are faced with. To be successfully addressed, a variety of stakeholders, including business, must be involved. With this in mind, this thesis seeks to further our understanding of how a firm's response to sustainability can, in addition to making business sense, be effective and sustainable. This inevitably entails dealing with the classic tension between "passion" and "process." Therefore, the thesis explores how a balance between these two may be found by examining IBM's extensive and long-sustained environmental management experience. IBM has a recognized record of environmental responsibility that has matured over almost 40 years, surviving periods of great difficulty for the company. Its environmental sustainability program and its commitment to corporate responsibility, a continuum from legal and compliance activities to engagements that help the company develop value-creation opportunities, is clearly strategic. Its efforts - a combination of activities that address immediate and future business pressures - are in tune with what the literature considers to be "best practice" in environmental corporate sustainability. IBM's experience confirms both the importance of nourishing an emotional commitment to sustainability and of establishing a process - in its case, an environmental management system - that enables the company to systematically identify and manage the environmental impacts of its operations.
(cont.) On the one hand, its long-sustained record of environmental commitment, combined with its dedication to being a recognized environmental leader, has instilled a strong passion for sustainability across the company's organizations and employees. On the other hand, IBM's pursuit of a demonstrable record of performance, combined with a commitment to continuous improvement, has led to the development of a carefully designed, effective environmental management system. IBM seems to have optimized the balance between passion and process through a commitment to scientific, fact-based, decision-making, which has allowed the company to design and implement goals and procedures that will have the most impact given its resources and footprint.
