Also, improving the authorization system of employees to access information with biometrics may be helpful to increase the security of their data and network system.

Explain what the following means: Miriam Wugmeister, chair of the global privacy practice at law firm Morrison & Foerster, echoes that assessment and stresses than employers should make it clear to employees that they can't expect privacy using corporate devices. While she observes that allowing employees to backup personal devices containing corporate data on a home computer could pose an e-discovery problem in the event of litigation, she also says there are good technical solutions that allow corporate IT administrators to create sandboxes that segregate personal and corporate communications. april 28 woo

Foxconn's employment ways have come to light. With suicide cases of their workers jumping out of the window. Foxconn say that they will be replacing a large amount of human labor with robots by 2012. And that they will move the workers up the value chain beyond basic manufacture working to increase productivity and innovation. However, it's for sure that some workers will be losing their jobs. Because of China's economic development, the costs are increasing, and whether or not they will be able to maintain a cheap "China price." Some may consider moving to other Asian countries for cheaper labor. However, Germany's Mittelstand firm that has a highly automated manufacturing system is just as competitive with China, but it isn't worried. Chinese authorities will continuously monitor the situation of how China will come to develop similarly to the West.
