- ItemICT support for work based preparation to crisis(Technická Univerzita v Liberci, 2013-08) Jakobsone, Andra; Motejlek, Jiří; Rozmajzl, Petr; Puhalová, Eva; Hovorková, Iva; Ekonomická fakultaInformation and communication technology plays an important role in the knowledge and crisis management processes, helping entrepreneurs how to learn and solve lots of different problems more effectively. Improving of the working environment by using work-based preparation is one of the main elements to be better prepared to crisis. Problem is that enterprises don’t have any learning support system to recognize possible threats, provide efficient knowledge management and prepare for crisis. Crisis management is set of procedures applied in handling, containment and resolution of an emergency in planned and coordinated steps. Crisis plan has almost every company, but not everyone knows what is necessary to do at first when some crisis come. It is very important to mark out and to mind which steps are the most important. Disasters such as earthquakes or floods and others make complicated situations, but large scale of catastrophes are not the only problems that can trouble the companies. In fact, there is much more of the smaller ones, for example the fallen tree over the delivery road. Goal of this paper is to analyse and design the support system for work-based preparation for crisis. This paper describes an information system with a goal of preparing workers for potential crisis at their workplace. The preparation is important in order to avoid economical effects of crisis. The result of the research is the analysis of possible threats of crisis, design of the information system and recommendations for developing work-based learning with regard to the encouragement of efficient knowledge management in entrepreneurship.
- ItemInformation management tools for implementing an effective enterprise business continuity strategy(Technická Univerzita v Liberci, ) Podaras, Athanasios; Antlová, Klára; Motejlek, Jiří; Ekonomická fakultaThe current work aims to the development of the Business Continuity Testing Points method which can help both IT as well as business managers define an efficient business continuity strategy. The BCTP method stems from the UML Use Case Points theory which is a practically tested and accepted approach to SW complexity estimation. The Use Case Points methodology was selected as the theory behind the construction of the BCTP model, due to the fact that firstly, both theories share the requirement analysis task and secondly because complexity of information systems is strongly related to their recovery in cases of their unexpected failovers. In the Use Case Points theory IT analysts perform software requirement analysis by executing various business scenarios. The BCTP theory, on the other hand, is constructed to support the analysis of IT system recovery requirements, by executing multiple efficient recovery scenarios. The method is a new approach to the objective determination of the Recovery Time Effort of a business function in comparison to the Rational Time Objective and the Maximum Acceptable Outage, which are defined with regard to the Impact Value Level of the function. The most critical functions of the enterprise should be included in the Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO) concept. MBCO refers to vital business functions without which the enterprise is not able to perform its basic operations. The Recovery Time Effort of a given business function is affected by multiple Technical, Environmental and Unexpected factors with precise weights and assessment values. Recovery exercises should be based on scenarios which include the unexpected factors that may delay the recovery process. The derived exercise results are proposed as drivers for the reassessment of the criticality of a business function.
