Decoding digital transformational outsourcing: The role of service providers’ capabilities

The business process outsourcing industry has got disrupted, first by the significant shift in value creation activities from the clients to the service providers, and second by pervasive digital penetration, resulting in the emergence of Digital Transformational Outsourcing (DTO). Service providers now play a more significant role, making their capabilities important. In the new context, service providers require a uniquely different set of dynamic capabilities to handle end-to-end business functions on behalf of their clients while delivering digital value propositions.We study 26 of the largest global business process outsourcing providers to conceptualise and identify six dynamic capabilities of service providers salient in the new context, i.e., consultative, orchestration, insights, network management, knowledge access, and standardisation. Interviews conducted with industry experts provided evidence in support of the identified dynamic capabilities. A novel firm capability dataset was created using secondary data, and using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), we identify configurations for high and low performance and find them to vary by the firm's broad/narrow scope.

The impact of digital technology on archival science

Archival science is to be regarded as a system. The properties of that system can be investigated and integrated. The methodology to do so has been tested in two research projects which are presented in this article as examples of the way in which the view of archival science as a system supports the development of new knowledge and as a demonstration of the stability of archival theory. This article presupposes that the archival discipline is also a “science”. Many have argued against the idea on the basis of a common perception that a science is a type of study entirely objective by virtue of the rigorous manner in which it is carried out and the restricted range of topics to which it applies. In fact, the activity of science is based upon a complex framework of assumptions that make it possible for the landscape of the scientific endeavour to be redrawn over time, and, while striving towards objectivity, considers it to be an unattainable ideal.

全国中文机读书目主题标引格式问题分析

中文机读书目主题标引格式的不统一 ,会产生书目主题格式多样的弊端。其主要原因是由于叙词法后组式标题只能套录标题法先组式标题格式。因此 ,必须统一中文书目主题标引格式。表 2。参考文献 8。     

数字图书馆与人才问题

数字图书馆具有收藏数字化、操作电脑化、传递网络化、存贮自由化、资源共享化和结构连接化等特点。建设数字图书馆必须有业务领导人员 ,网络系统的维护、管理人员 ,既懂图书情报业务、又懂一定计算机知识的专业人员以及数据加工和录入人员。要积极引进和稳住高素质的专业人才。参考文献 7。     

齐海峰竞技成绩的灰色关联分析及GM(1,N)动态协调模型的研究

采用文献资料法和灰色关联度分析法,对我国优秀男子十项全能运动员齐海峰1999-2002年十项全能的比赛成绩进行统计与分析,运用GM(1,N)动态协调模型对其在总成绩不断提高的各个阶段诸因素间相互联系、相互影响的辩证发展关系进行多方位、多层次研究。结果表明:100米跑、铅球和跳远是影响齐海峰专项成绩的关键因素,其关联度分别为0.8928、0.7443和0.7571,研究还发现,齐海峰在成绩提高的每一个阶段中,系统处于不稳定和非协调发展,其中速度和速度——力量性项目落后是导致系统不稳定和非协调发展的主要因素。     

数字图书馆与数字化分类法

数字化分类法不仅要能够适合传统文献的分类检索 ,也应能适应各种信息尤其是网络信息的分类和检索。它应借鉴搜索引擎构建多维的分类体系和多途径检索 ,吸收我国已有的信息分类编码成果 ,具有自动搜索、分析、标引和著录的智能性。参考文献 6。     

数字图书馆的研究内容和方向

在我国 ,数字图书馆的研究和建设 ,必须鼓励跨学科的合作和国际合作 ;国家的资助要保持数字图书馆项目 (研究类、应用类和内容建设类 )间的平衡 ;要从具体的应用环境出发 ,建设有特色的数字图书馆 ,不能盲目追求大、全、新 ;应重视元数据的研究。参考文献 1。表 4。     

人文视野中的数字图书馆

数字图书馆的兴起有着深刻的人文社会背景。数字图书馆创造了人们平等、自由地获取知识信息的条件,提供了充满人文关怀的服务,激发了图书馆人的创造精神,这些都是其人文精神的体现。数字图书馆建设要以人文精神为导向。参考文献10。
