“…As part of outsourcing, the most often used range of trends in multinational companies are the recruitment of employees, employees training and coaching of managers. Therefore we can state that most companies implement their project through outsourcing and to be informed about IT outsourcing as the current trend is highly demanding, but no studies can prove that IT outsourcing is the best management method (Xi et al, 2013). The reasons for adopting Management don't stop there.…”

The transforming world, globalization, dynamic technological development and the massive impact of the pandemic on economic development have forced companies to make a rapid transition from a traditional to a modern approach to managing and implementing innovations and trends. This new progressive worldview on the formation of the new generations, with attributes and values typical for the past, has contributed to the process of adapting and responding to business challenges in human resources management. This article aims to analyze statistically significant differences in implementation trends of human recourses practices, more specifically in the conditions of multinational companies operating in the European area as a precondition for business sustainability and increasing their performance potential in pandemic times. We will focus on trends in human resource management - outsourcing, onboarding, age management, knowledge management and talent management in terms of the effectiveness of their implementation in the conditions of 161 multinational companies. The reason for choosing this type of companies and testing in the multinational environment is its uniqueness related to cultural diversity, workforce, communication and sharing the knowledge and innovations

“…There are, however, some downsides of outsourcing (Bettis, Bradley, & Hamel, 1992;Jennings, 1996;Michela & Carlotta, 2011;Tayauova, 2012;Xi, Xu, & Todo, 2013). Outsourcing can result in loss of technological capabilities and industrial decline in manufacturing firms.…”

Not much has been researched in logistics outsourcing in the emerging countries, particularly in the oil and gas industry. This article investigates the feasibility of logistics outsourcing by the international oil and gas companies in the emerging business environment of Nigeria. An exploratory, multicase, qualitative approach was applied, involving 40 interviewees in three international oil companies and three of their logistics service providers. Findings reveal that vendors' capabilities, host community issues, joint venture influence, and employees' reactions challenge international oil companies' logistics outsourcing implementation while relationship management, contract management, and change management skills enable them handle these challenges. The results also show that surveyed organizations implement logistics outsourcing piecemeal and need to scale up their current capabilities to effectively integrate logistics outsourcing. The research confirms logistics outsourcing is achievable in Nigeria, but requires synergies and symbiosis between the oil companies and their local vendors.

“…So the specific risks according to cloud computing need to be assessed and treated in the risk management process. Specific security and privacy risks regarding cloud computing, respectively, arise from the following: authentication and access control [ 25 ] include physical access issues as well as identity and credential management [ 4 ], shared usage of computing resources (except private clouds if managed by the organization itself)—data in the cloud typically resides in a shared environment, but the data owner should have full control over who has the right to use the data and what they are allowed to do with it once they gain access [ 25 ], virtualization has become an indispensable ingredient for almost every cloud [ 26 ] and comes with several risks [ 27 ], outsourced and distributed computing (except private clouds if managed by the organization itself)—depending on the IT outsourcing risk appropriate risk treatment measures need to be developed [ 28 ], mobile access/access via internet—it is popular to access the cloud storage by mobile devices; this application suffers data security risk, especially the data leakage and privacy violation problem [ 4 , 29 ], flexible and rapidly changeable services and service providers—the old advice “never touch a running system” cannot be followed anymore in cloud environments built with the intention to enable fast change [ 30 ]. In the health care sector, the general cloud computing risks are concretized as the following [ 31 ].…”

Cloud computing is actually one of the most popular themes of information systems research. Considering the nature of the processed information especially health care organizations need to assess and treat specific risks according to cloud computing in their information security management system. Therefore, in this paper we propose a framework that includes the most important security processes regarding cloud computing in the health care sector. Starting with a framework of general information security management processes derived from standards of the ISO 27000 family the most important information security processes for health care organizations using cloud computing will be identified considering the main risks regarding cloud computing and the type of information processed. The identified processes will help a health care organization using cloud computing to focus on the most important ISMS processes and establish and operate them at an appropriate level of maturity considering limited resources.
