Starting in 2006, the security organization began tracking security incidents and
reported suspicious activities. Security reviews the information, looks for patterns and
regularly shares the findings with sales. An unanticipated outcome of this information
sharing has been the creation of a heightened sense of awareness. Today, many
incidents are disclosed that were unreported in the past or were seen as stolen property
issues rather than as possible losses of corporate sensitive information.
company should look at the parameters such as return on human resource value, ratio
of total income to human asset value. All these parameters give a clear picture of
efficiency of human resources employed by the company.
TOPIC 5: SUSTAINABILITY & BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITY REPORTING
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Corporate sustainability reporting has a long history going back to environmental
reporting. The first environmental reports were published in the late 1980s by
companies in the chemical industry which had serious image problems. The other group
of early reporters was a group of committed small and medium-sized businesses with
very advanced environmental management systems.
An important, globally-accepted framework for accomplishing this expanded disclosure
and reporting is the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Framework. GRI is a global,
network-based mechanism organized as a foundationand is based in the
Netherlands. GRI has pioneered the development of the worlds most widely-used
sustainability reporting framework and as such is a reporting mechanism with broad
credibility.
The goal of GRI is to assist organizations in their disclosure of environmental, social
and governance (ESG) performance. A wide range of participants have embraced GRI
reporting, including members of the global business community, civil society, the public
sector, and labor, academic and professional institutions.
The GRIs third generation of reporting framework and guidance the G-3 is used
by a growing number of public companies, either as a general guide or for specific
reporting of their ESG performance against the Framework Boundaries, Indicators
and Disclosure expectations. (The application level system has various requirements
and disclosures for each application level selected by the reporter.)
G3.1 is a two-part guideline providing the GRIs Reporting Framework to aid
organizations in disclosing their sustainability performance.
Part 1 of the G3.1 Guideline consists of principles to define report content, quality
and to describe how to set the report boundary.
their sustainability issues tend to perform better over the long-term in the markets,
although we do agree that evaluating a larger number of companies over a longer
period of time would be more definitive in this regard.
TOPIC 6: WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY IN POWER PLANT APPLICATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wireless technology offers benefits beyond just wiring cost savings. With a multifunctional, plant-wide wireless network, utility and power generation facilities can
improve safety, reliability and efficiency through optimized employees, equipment and
processes.
Power plants implementing wireless systems do so for the same reason as the
designers of the first telegraph system cost savings. Utilities look to wireless to add
real business value, both in terms of installation costs and optimized operations from
increased data availability.
An ultra-secure and ultra-reliable wireless field infrastructure supports not just wireless
instruments, but also IEEE 802.11 WLAN applications and mobile clients such as handheld computers and mobile Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). A single wireless
network, supporting multiple wireless technologies and classes of service, can handle
diverse tasks ranging from communicating sensor information back to a host system, to
closed-loop control, information, HMI, video, communication, and enterprise
applications. Wireless technologies developed for building management and security
can also be utilized in process plants to support both asset management and personnel
tracking.
For example, wireless mobility tools provide a fully functional PC environment that
personnel can interact with directly from a handheld device while performing
maintenance rounds, data collection and inspections. These solutions are optimized for
specific end user applications, ranging from read-only access over the Intranet by
multiple casual users, to secure system access for mobile operators. This wireless
collaboration can improve decision-making, production uptime and process monitoring,
and incident avoidance.
Handheld access to process data allows technicians in the field to view the latest plant
information to help identify failures and causes that may previously have gone
unrecorded, and can open the door for further investigation of a systems reliability.
Users can integrate field data with data from multiple other sources, including
production, control, and work management systems. They also provide mechanical and
engineering data and support calibration of instrument databases. On-site computing
helps management improve the tracking and reporting of inspections, tests, and repairs
for pumps, actuators, valves, vents, pipes and other plant process equipment.
To get started with wireless, and unlock the possibilities of this innovative technology, it
is important to view your wireless implementation as a partnership between the plant
operator, company IT department, and wireless supplier. Each party has a share in
determining the outcome of this effort.
TOPIC 7: 360 DEGREE APPRAISALS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In human resources or industrial psychology, 360-degree feedback, also known as
multi-rater feedback, multi-source feedback, or multi source assessment, is feedback
that comes from members of an employee's immediate work circle. Most often, 360degree feedback will include direct feedback from an employee's subordinates, peers
(colleagues), and supervisor(s), as well as a self-evaluation. It can also include, in some
cases, feedback from external sources, such as customers and suppliers or other
interested stakeholders. It may be contrasted with "upward feedback," where managers
are given feedback only by their direct reports, or a "traditional performance appraisal,"
where the employees are most often reviewed only by their managers.
The results from a 360-degree evaluation are often used by the person receiving the
feedback to plan and map specific paths in their development. Results are also used by
some organizations in making administrative decisions related to pay and promotions.
When this is the case, the 360 assessment is for evaluation purposes, and is
sometimes called a "360-degree review." However, there is a great deal of debate as to
whether 360-degree feedback should be used exclusively for development purposes, or
should be used for appraisal purposes as well.
95% of the sulfur pollutants in coal can be captured inside the boiler by the sorbent. The
reductions may be less substantial than they seem, however, as they coincide with
dramatic increases in carbon (monoxide?) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
emissions.

Biodiesel has promising lubricating properties and cetane ratings compared to low sulfur
diesel fuels Depending on the engine, this[clarification needed] might include high
pressure injection pumps, pump injectors (also called unit injectors) and fuel injectors.
The calorific value of biodiesel is about 37.27 MJ/kg. This is 9% lower than regular
Number 2 petro diesel. Variations in biodiesel energy density are more dependent on
the feedstock used than the production process. Still, these variations are less than for
petro diesel. It has been claimed biodiesel gives better lubricity and more complete
combustion thus increasing the engine energy output and partially compensating for the
higher energy density of petro diesel.
Biodiesel contains virtually no sulfur, and it is often used as an additive to ULSD.
TOPIC 11: CLOUD COMPUTING
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Cloud computing is a recently evolved computing terminology or metaphor based on
utility and consumption of computing resources. Cloud computing involves deploying
groups of remote servers and software networks that allow centralized data storage and
online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public,
private or hybrid.
The goal of cloud computing is to apply traditional supercomputing, or high-performance
computing power, normally used by military and research facilities, to perform tens of
trillions of computations per second, in consumer-oriented applications such as financial
portfolios, to deliver personalized information, to provide data storage or to power large,
immersive computer games.
To do this, cloud computing uses networks of large groups of servers typically running
low-cost consumer PC technology with specialized connections to spread dataprocessing chores across them. This shared IT infrastructure contains large pools of
systems that are linked together. Often, virtualization techniques are used to maximize
the power of cloud computing.
The standards for connecting the computer systems and the software needed to make
cloud computing work are not fully defined at present time, leaving many companies to
define their own cloud computing technologies. Cloud computing systems offered by
companies, like IBM's "Blue Cloud" technologies for example, are based on open
standards and open source software which link together computers that are used to
deliver Web 2.0 capabilities like mash-ups or mobile commerce.
Cloud computing has started to obtain mass appeal in corporate data centers as it
enables the data center to operate like the Internet through the process of enabling
computing resources to be accessed and shared as virtual resources in a secure and
scalable manner.
For a small and medium size business (SMB), the benefits of cloud computing is
currently driving adoption. In the SMB sector there is often a lack of time and financial
resources to purchase, deploy and maintain an infrastructure (e.g. the software, server
and storage).
In cloud computing, small businesses can access these resources and expand or shrink
services as business needs change. The common pay-as-you-go subscription model is
designed to let SMBs easily add or remove services and you typically will only pay for
what you do use.
applications for this type are solar power satellites, and wireless powered drone aircraft.
[9] An important issue associated with all wireless power systems is limiting the
exposure of people and other living things to potentially injurious electromagnetic fields.
Reliability: The smart grid will make use of technologies, such as state estimation
that improve fault detection and allow self-healing of the network without the
intervention of technicians. This will ensure more reliable supply of electricity, and
reduced vulnerability to natural disasters or attack.
entity to establish itself as a more responsible and ethical corporate citizen, ensuring the
reputation of the company among its stakeholders, guiding towards a flourishing and
sustainable future.
Values and principles are the essence of human lives that justify human beings as
supreme. We need to start seeing values from a fresh perspective, arouse a general
awakening towards the worth of values in life. If we are not aware towards the imminent
crisis in values today, we may not be able to pass on these important aspects to the
next generation.
Failure in business ethics and corporate governance is a real threat to the future of
every corporation. With the effective governance based on core values of integrity and
trust, companies can gain much competitive advantage which attracts and retains best
multiple alternatives and generates positive reactions in the marketplace- if any
company got reputed for ethical behavior in the competitive market, it engenders not
only customer loyalty but also employee loyalty. A great deal depends upon fairness,
honesty, integrity and the manner in which companies conduct their affairs. Companies
must make a profit to survive and grow; however, the pursuit of profits must stay within
ethical bounds.
TOPIC 15: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Knowledge management involves any systematic activity related to the capture and
sharing of knowledge by organization.
Knowledge is an asset and Knowledge management is a cluster of all asset.it is a single
platform where Knowledge is shared, updated, refreshed and grown. For any
organization it becomes imperative to increase the circulation of Knowledge and
information amongst the employees and to provide an organizational environment which
helps in developing the right attitude and mutual trust among the employees.
The term "knowledge management" is now in widespread use, having appeared in the
titles of many new books about knowledge management as a business strategy, as well
as in articles in many business publications, including The Wall Street Journal. There
are, of course, many ways to slice up the multi-faceted world of knowledge
management. However, its often useful to categorize them.
Encourages the free flow of ideas which leads to insight and innovation

Knowledge Management does not have a beginning and an end. It is ongoing, organic,
and ever-evolving.
Understanding Knowledge Management
KM is about people. It is directly linked to what people know, and how what they
know can support business and organizational objectives. It draws on human
competency, intuition, ideas, and motivations. It is not a technology-based
concept. Although technology can support a KM effort, it shouldnt begin there.
