Before sending executives on assignments in countries with questionable business practices, HR professionals must help prepare them for the ethical predicaments that may await them there

Diciembre 31, 2009 Por Deja tu comentario

No one is naïve enough to think that bribery, kickbacks and other corrupt business practices don’t exist here in the United States. But it’s also understood that such practices are, el mejor de los, unethical and, at worst, illegal — not to mention potentially costly for companies caught engaging in them.

But in some countries, sobornos, illegal payments and other underhanded activities are simply an accepted part of doing business. And if recent statistics are any indication, the current recession is only compounding the problem.

According to a recent Ernst & Young survey, half of the 2,246 respondents in major countries across Europe said they felt that one or more types of unethical business behaviors was acceptable, incluso 25 percent who thought it fine to give a cash bribe to win work. By country, that figure rose as high as 38 percent in Spain, 43 percent in the Czech Republic and 53 percent in Turkey.

In the same survey by the New York-based business and financial advisory firm, more than half of respondents said they expect corporate fraud to increase over the next few years, con 54 percent of participants from Western Europe and 55 percent from Central and Eastern Europe expressing the same sentiment.

SharePoint, Microsoft’s broad and wildly popular business platform, is growing from good to great. SharePoint 2010 enables robust business collaboration for the enterprise and the Web by offering a fuller breadth of capabilities and new enterprise-class management tools.

While the improvements made to SharePoint 2007 popularized the product across industry segments with its collaboration and workspace capabilities, portal, and enterprise content management benefits, SharePoint 2010 boasts an even richer, more advanced and integrated feature set that readily enables business collaboration among employees, colleagues, and partners.

The foundational business-collaboration features of SharePoint 2010 incluir: document collaboration; wikis and blogs; RSS support; discussion boards; project task management; contactos, calendarios, and tasks; e-mail storing and management; better design for working with Microsoft Office 2010; y, richer offline support using SharePoint Workspace 2010.

Industry experts say that with SharePoint 2010 Microsoft filled in the gaps of previous versions to offer a dynamic product that will have both existing SharePoint users and new customers clamoring.

In-House Legal Departments and the Use of Cloud Computing

International Law May Confound Benefits

By Greg Freemyer and Hope Haslam

La computación en nube, the process of storing and processing data on remote, outsourced third-party-owned servers, is growing in popularity, largely because it provides users with access to state-of-the-art and constantly updated software and fast infrastructure — without the overwhelming costs. As technology advances at exponential speeds, companies must find ways to remain competitive. Buying the latest and greatest, only to find it obsolete before it is paid for, is a progressively unsustainable option.

For international companies, sin embargo, there are tremendous legal hurdles to accomplishing an effective conversion. Two of the most troubling are:

  1. EE.UU.. preservation requirements; y
  2. International privacy laws.

As companies begin to set up, or more likely expand, a cloud computing system, they must understand the legal issues that need to be addressed in order to avoid subjecting the company to sanctions, fines, penalties and enormous e-discovery costs when litigation arises.

Ex-empleado dice Seagate Tomó Tecnología, La evidencia destruida

Diciembre 29, 2009 Por Deja tu comentario

A decade-long lawsuit pitting a tiny company called Convolve against Seagate Technology has taken an unexpected turn after a whistle-blower claimed that Seagate had appropriated Convolve technology and later destroyed evidence in the case.

The whistle-blower, a former Seagate employee named Paul A. Galloway, has provided what is described as “an eyewitness account” accusing Seagate of taking hard-drive technology from Convolve and incorporating it into its own products, according to documents filed recently with a federal court in Manhattan.

The court filings include claims by Mr. Galloway that Seagate, the world’s largest producer of computer hard drives, tampered with evidence tied to Convolve’s nearly 10-year-old patent infringement case against the company.

The allegations are detailed in an affidavit filed by one of Convolve’s lawyers as part of an effort to reopen the voluminous court record to include testimony from Mr. Galloway.

Dont pasar por alto reglamentos de datos federales y estatales – BusinessWeek

Diciembre 29, 2009 Por Deja tu comentario

Tracking new regulations and compliance rulings from federal and state government can be dizzying—they include FRCP, HIPAA, GLB, y más. But now more than ever, the government expects all businesses to comply, not just large corporations.

Hoy, every company is responsible for its data and for securing its customers’ information, no matter how much it costs to do so. In today’s litigious business world, the possibility of being dragged into a lawsuit is very real, and if that happens, you will likely need to make your information available to the process. And woe to the company that cannot comply with basic regulations, because a judge will not accept that you thought those requirements applied only to the big companies.

A good example is a recent investigation involving Freddie Mac. A small agency working with Freddie Mac was pulled into the investigation, and the agency had to complete a request by the government for an electronic discovery search. The agency assumed the cost would be minor, but it did not have an automated approach to managing its data in place. The inaccessibility of the data required an army of attorneys and staff to perform a hands-on physical review. The cost came to $6 millón. When the agency sought relief, it was turned down by an appeals court. It should have known better.

A German computer engineer said Monday that he had deciphered and published the secret code used to encrypt most of the worlds digital mobile phone calls, in what he called an attempt to expose weaknesses in the security of the world’s wireless systems.

The action by the encryption expert Karsten Nohl aimed to question the effectiveness of the 21-year-old GSM algorithm, a code developed in 1988 and still used to protect the privacy of 80 percent of the worlds mobile calls.

“This shows that existing GSM security is inadequate,"El señor. Nohl, 28, told about 600 people attending the Chaos Communication Congress, a four-day computer hacker’s conference that runs through Wednesday here. “We are trying to push operators to adopt better security measures for mobile phone calls.”
