基于CDIO的服务外包人才培养模式探索

传统教育模式下培养出的学生不能很好地满足服务外包企业需求,其原因是基于理论的教学模式缺乏对学生综合素质和实践能力的培养。将CDIO工程教育理念引入到服务外包人才培养中,探索培养工程实践能力的教学理念和教学方法,培养服务外包所需的高素质应用型人才,不断完善高校服务外包人才培养体系。将高等教育与工程教育相结合,能有效加强学生的工程基础知识、个人能力、人际团队能力和工程系统能力。

The Need for Greater Transparency When Assessing the Performance and Prospects of Melbourne’s Rail Franchise Contracts

Among policymakers and researchers at an international level, there is great interest in the performance of the Melbourne rail franchise model. This review attempts to examine the Melbourne model in an international context and assess the performance of the system under current contracts. Potential flaws are highlighted including lack of information, concerns over performance and contestability, and the treatment of the potential long-term maintenance backlog under short-term contracts. The authors conclude with an overall stance of there needing to be far greater public information transparency to allow proper scrutiny of the effectiveness of these contracts for the public good.     

The changing geography and ownership of value creation: evidence from mobile telecommunications

Through an innovative trade-in-task case study, we explore how Nokia, which is historically one of the most important mobile phone manufacturers in the world, offshored the development and production of three distinct mobile phones at three different points in time. Adjacent to these processes, we find that the value creation in areas such as design and manufacturing knowledge has rapidly shifted away from advanced economies to emerging economies. Moreover, we find that the value added captured by Nokia decreased dramatically over the studied time period. Based on our results, we uss more generally the challenge of multinational corporations to preserve value and how the realisation of the benefits of offshoring must be assessed with respect to the altered requirements for controlling value-adding activities.

移动云环境下高效属性基加密方案研究

目前适应移动云的属性基加密研究主要集中在单一机构,并不满足现实中的属性授权情况。针对以上问题提出了一个新的多机构属性基加密方案,该方案无中央权威,各授权机构可互不影响,分发的属性可添加;利用预计算、外包解密的方法降低用户端的计算开销;方案在随机预言模型下证明是静态安全的。实验结果表明,移动端在云环境下实施数据共享时,该方案可以减少移动设备端20%的计算开销,更符合于移动云环境实际应用场景。     

移动云环境下的多授权机构属性基加密方案

针对移动云数据的访问控制进行了研究,提出一种高效的、无需CA的多授权机构密文策略属性基加密方案。通过借助外部资源,在数据加密和解密过程分别增加预加密操作和可验证外包解密操作,从而降低用户的加解密计算量,并采用双因子身份认证机制实现对用户的匿名认证。安全性分析表明,新方案基于判断性q-BDHE（decisional q-parallel Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent）假设可证明是选择明文安全的,并且方案能够抵抗合谋攻击。仿真实验表明,新方案有效降低了数据加密、解密的计算开销以及对密文的通信开销。因此,新方案能够实现对移动云数据安全、高效的访问控制。     

Modes of inbound knowledge flows: are cooperation and outsourcing really complementary?

This study examines the relationship between breadths of two different modes of external knowledge: R&D outsourcing and cooperation. Building upon transaction costs literature and literature on research partner breadth and R&D outsourcing, we hypothesise an U-inverted relationship between outsourcing breadth and innovation performance and a complementary relationship between R&D outsourcing and R&D cooperation. The model is tested on a large sample based on CIS survey for Spain. The empirical analysis confirms the U-inverted relationship between outsourcing breadth and innovation and also reveals an interesting result: the complementary effect of R&D cooperation varies with the level of R&D outsourcing breadth and it is not confirmed for low and medium levels of R&D outsourcing breadth. The results have important implications for theory on the selection of different modes of inbound open innovation and for managers and their cooperation and outsourcing strategies.     

Conjunct roles of client and vendor control in offshore-outsourced project performance

This study explores the conjunct roles of a series of formal and informal control mechanisms exerted, respectively, by client and vendor in offshore-outsourced project performance. Using a sample of 203 offshore projects executed by vendors in China, the results indicate that client process control enhances (or complements) the effect of vendor outcome control, yet impairs (or substitutes) the effect of vendor process control. Conversely, client outcome control enhances (or complements) the effect of vendor process control, yet impairs (or substitutes) the effect of vendor outcome control. Further, for the two informal control mechanisms, the results indicate that client relational control enhances (or complements) the effects of both vendor process and outcome control, whereas vendor clan control only enhances (or complements) the effect of client outcome control on offshore-outsourced project performance. These findings not only contribute new insights for the organisational control and the outsourcing literature, but also provide managerial guidance for client and vendor managers on how to exert and fine-tune their control mechanisms to promote project performance.     

A shuffled frog-leaping algorithm for job shop scheduling with outsourcing options

In this paper, job shop scheduling problem with outsourcing options is considered and a novel shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (SFLA) is presented to minimise total tardiness under condition that total outsourcing cost does not exceed a given upper bound. In SFLA, a tournament selection-based method is used to decompose the whole population into some memeplexes, the search process in each memeplex is done on the best solution of the memeplex and composed of the global search step and the multiple neighbourhood search step. SFLA is tested on a number of instances and compared with some methods from the literature. Computational results validate the promising performance of SFLA on the considered problem.
