Abstract: The invention specifies a process for carrying out innovation management whereby the roles of multi-disciplined stakeholders are distinguished in such a way as to facilitate the assignment of high value knowledge-based service innovation onshore and to permit the highest skill work to move to the lowest cost of market-driven performance whether onshore or offshore.

Abstract: Embodiments are an improved transistor structure and the method of fabricating the structure. In particular, a wet etch of an embodiment forms source and drain regions with an improved tip shape to improve the performance of the transistor by improving control of short channel effects, increasing the saturation current, improving control of the metallurgical gate length, increasing carrier mobility, and decreasing contact resistance at the interface between the source and drain and the silicide.

Abstract: A system of infrastructure and communications networks that will enable employees (“intelligent middlemen”) located in offshore areas to facilitate the exchange of economic assets and information among themselves. Such assets include: cultural, technical and legal rights and remedies, software engineering and various other business skills, from buyer to seller. There are two main types of control points involved in the system, at least one GECP operating in the U.S. and managing the network of global enterprises seeking to outsource software development and operations offshore. And at least one OVC, that operates in the target country and manages the network of outsource vendors.
