In this scenario, relying on continuing educational measures is crucial to support organizations in their competence management programs. In order to validate a set of measures, in this paper an interview study regarding continuing education measures is reported. The study was carried out in late 2014, early 2015 with some of the most experienced SE professionals from the consulting company BearingPoint. Study findings suggest an increasing relevance of such educational measures. Furthermore, authors provide insights about relevant educational measures, improvement areas in employees' training, commonly experienced problems, as well as instruments for control and evaluation.}, language = {en} } @article{PrietoGonzalezTammStantchev2015, author = {Prieto-Gonz{\´a}lez, Lisardo and Tamm, Gerrit and Stantchev, Vladimir}, title = {Governance of cloud computing: semantic aspects and cloud service brokers}, series = {International Journal of Web and Grid Services}, volume = {11}, journal = {International Journal of Web and Grid Services}, number = {4}, pages = {377 -- 389}, year = {2015}, abstract = {This paper provides an overview of cloud governance aspects based on a representative survey of trends in the perception, assessment and adoption of cloud computing within the enterprise.

The conducted analysis of literature research as well as the evaluation of experiences by various experts aims to provide further understanding of the diverse reasons for the outcome of (un)sustainable M\&A activities. Research shows that most M\&A activities fail in the long run because the classic approach during the three phases (1) pre-merger planning, (2) the merger itself, and (3) the post-merger-integration phase focuses on quantitative issues and insufficiently incorporates HR and cultural topics. HR is integral for every M\&A, as well as for the restructuring and change projects that often accompany mergers. Therefore, failing to adequately include employees in the M\&A phases is one of the gravest risks while conducting a merger. This article describes in detail the challenges faced when conducting an M\&A with regard to HR implementation and presents advise and tools for how to successfully mitigate an M\&A failure due to insufficient HR implementation.}, language = {en} } @article{HaufeDzombetaBrandisetal., author = {Haufe, Knut and Dzombeta, Srdan and Brandis, Knud and Stantchev, Vladimir and Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo}, title = {Improving Transparency and Efficiency in IT Security Management Resourcing}, series = {IT Professional}, volume = {20}, journal = {IT Professional}, number = {01}, issn = {1520-9202}, pages = {53 -- 62}, abstract = {The authors propose a resource management process for information security management systems to more transparently plan and assign costs of controls.

The same applies to physical spaces and knowledge itself, leaving us with a most uneasy feeling caused by the dissolving blur of truth.
