I need citations and references to this solution that was provided. Problem: Several innovations in data management are reshaping the IT landscape. Among them are: server virtualization, storage virtualization, desktop virtualization, artificial intelligence, cloud applications, and the near future network virtualization. As an executive, we will ask ourselves, and discuss, the extent to which the virtualization of processing portends the removal of a dedicated IT staff. We will discuss the extent to which the CIO is no longer the manager of a dedicated expert staff, but fully engaged in vendor management and service oversight. Finally we should ask ourselves the extent to which bricks and mortar will even define the corporation as an entity. The corporation, or at least its administrative wing, is more of an abstract. Does it matter if the processing engine of your corporate data is in Bangladesh or Nairobi? Does it matter what flag the vendor's employee's salute or what god they worship? Once we have achieved global network infrastructure stability and redundancy, we may find ourselves seriously questioning our understanding of "corporation" or even employment. Discuss: What is the balance between sustaining the interests of the corporation's stakeholders (shareholders. Executives, the board of directors) and sustaining the interests of our staff? Is our traditional staff (bound by the "contractual" arrangements) significant when weighed against the interests of the stockholders? This is not an easy or obvious question. Start with Eisenhart. The discussion is not about server virtualization. That is a footnote to illustrate how technology renders more efficient that which people once did. SOLUTION: (The question of balancing the interests of a corporation's stakeholders and its staff is a complex one that requires careful consideration of multiple factors. At its core, this question is about the relationship between the corporation and its employees, and how this relationship impacts the corporation's ability to achieve its goals and create value for its stakeholders. One way to approach this question is to consider the work of William Eisenhart, a management theorist who developed a model of organizational effectiveness based on the concept of congruence. According to Eisenhart, an organization is effective when there is a high degree of congruence between its strategy, structure, and people. In other words, the people who work for the organization need to be aligned with its goals and the way it operates in order for it to be successful. In the context of virtualization technology, this means that the corporation needs to carefully consider how it uses this technology to achieve its goals while also ensuring that its employees are able to adapt to the changes it brings. This may involve providing training and support for employees as they learn to work with new technology, as well as creating a culture of innovation and continuous learnin.
