“…As a result, he determined that there is a direct relationship between them. Lee and et al (1998) studied Sun Tzu's principles under the methodology of quality function deployment, conducted a thorough search of their practicability in the business and management strategies, and claimed that the study results might be used as an indicator of performance. Tsang & Lee (2002) examined the principles by integrating them into the characteristics of western management models and emphasized that the principles should be studied in a detailed way in order to obtain a strategic competition advantage.…”

This paper reviews current cloud computing business models and presents proposals on how organisations can achieve sustainability by adopting appropriate models. Using the Jericho Forum's Cloud Cube Model (CCM), we classify cloud computing business models into eight types: (1) Service Provider and Service Orientation; (2) Support and Services Contracts; (3) In-House Private Clouds; (4) All-In-One Enterprise Cloud; (5) One-Stop Resources and Services; (6) Government Funding; (7) Venture Capitals; and (8) Entertainment and Social Networking. We newly propose the Hexagon Model that includes six key elements for sustainability based on Sun Tzu's Art of War and literature review, and the sixth factor is rated based on case studies and peer reviews. Areas occupied in the Hexagon can represent strengths and weaknesses of a cloud business, and several cases are presented with rationale explained. Apart from the qualitative approach, the quantitative approach we use is the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Modern Portfolio Theory, both of which aim computing organisational sustainability and predict how well an organisation can perform. The OMII-UK data is used to demonstrate sustainability and study the impact on cloud businesses, and is presented by statistical computation, 3D visualisation and the Hexagon Model. We believe that adopting an appropriate cloud computing business model will help organisations investing in this technology to stand firm at all times.

“…It is well known that ancient religious and philosophical texts such as the Bhagavadgeetha (ancient Hindu philosophical and religious scripture) (Hee, 2007; Muniapan & Dass, 2008; Chakraborty & Chakraborty, 2008; Satpathy & Muniapan, 2008), the Mahabharata and the Ramayana (Hindu epics) (Muniapan & Dass, 2008), Upanishads (Hindu Vedic philosophy texts), the historical Chinese thinker Sun Tzu’s The Art of War in Business strategies (Lee & Ko, 2000; Lee, Roberts, Lau, & Bhattacharyya, 1998), and other references from several religions and cultures such as Christianity, Buddhism and Islam have been used as a guide to contemporary managerial issues and challenges. This article highlights the relevance of each of the 18 chapters of the Bhagavadgeetha to modern-day professional activities and professional ethics.…”

Bhagavadgeetha in Professional Life

Since time immemorial, ancient philosophical texts have spiritually provoked people to awaken from the delusion incurred from being baffled at life’s myriad circumstances. Today’s rapid advance in applied science and technology has not only removed problems of daily activities such as transportation, communication, information exchange etc, but also has greatly improved our comfort and lifestyle. Despite such major benefits brought by globalization, mankind is facing higher levels of competition and the struggle for success is becoming intense in almost all professional fields such as research, medicine, commerce, management, production technology and intellectual property rights to name a few. As a result, our progress can be obscured by normal human tendencies to quickly achieve the desired results in short time, thus sacrificing on quality and other values that inevitably lead to failure and frustration due to possible conflicts. This paper sheds light on ancient Hindu philosophy, namely the Bhagavad-geetha (popularly known as the Bhagavad-Gita), and attempts to correlate certain successful strategic decisions and guidelines made in the past – with the modern day human activity management by expounding the similarities in both situations. Such profound knowledge of the ‘Geetha may not necessarily be restricted solely to religious grounds, but also applied as insights to the modern-day human interaction, perception and behavioral transactions to not only achieve success but primarily to eliminate personal differences and conflicts.
