Technology Legislation
Technology-related legislation can have a huge impact on growing businesses, and some interesting issues are likely to pop up with the new Congress of the United States this year. Of great interest to growing businesses are the topics of data protection and net neutrality.
Laws that lay out more stringent requirements for retaining and protecting employee and customer data could be on the horizon. "The laws that apply to big business are going to trickle down to small business," says Ann Westerheim, founder and president of technology consulting firm Ekaru. "Businesses need to have that on their radar. You don't want to get hit with a fine because you're not complying." She suggests looking at laws like Sarbanes-Oxley to get an idea of where new tech laws could be heading.
The good news is that proper data protection is something businesses should be doing anyway. "A lot of the measures required to protect employee and customer data are just good business practices," says Westerheim. Growing businesses can head off potential compliance costs by gradually shoring up their IT security and data protection now.
Net neutrality is likely to be a hot issue again after stalling in the Senate last year. Net neutrality proponents want regulations to prevent network providers from prioritizing certain Internet traffic. "Net neutrality is a big issue for small businesses," says Westerheim. A net neutrality law stands a better chance of passing with strong Democratic backing this year, but it figures to be a hard-fought battle. Digital copyright issues could also come to the fore in Congress. With the changes brought about by the last election, it will be an interesting year for entrepreneurs to keep an eye on the goings-on in Washington.

For many years, researchers have drawn attention to the importance of alignment between business and Information Technology (IT). In early studies, this often meant linking the business plan and the IT plan. Another perspective involved ensuring congruence between the business strategy and the IT strategy. Still another has required examining the fit between business needs and information system priorities. These conceptualizations have been enlarged over time and now research recognizes many points of alignment between business and IT.
Early motivation for alignment emerged from a focus on strategic business planning and long-range IT planning in the early 1980s. From a business perspective, planning was characterized as a top-down and a bottom-up process and departmental (e.g., IT) plans were created in support of corporate strategies. From an IT perspective, decisions on hardware and software had such long-term implications that tying them to current and future plans of the organizational unit was a practical necessity.
The business and IT performance implications of alignment have been demonstrated empirically and through case studies during the last decade. Simply put, the findings support the hypothesis that those organizations that successfully align their business strategy with their IT strategy will outperform those that do not. Alignment leads to more focused and strategic use of IT which, in turn, leads to increased performance.

A participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho tem-se ampliado nas últimas décadas, todavia elas ainda enfrentam processos de segregação ocupacional horizontal e vertical de gênero, marcados, entre outros aspectos, por discriminação, precarização, desigualdades salariais e desvalorização profissional. A divisão do trabalho doméstico, a socialização de homens e mulheres e as relações de poder entre os gêneros são aspectos que contribuem para a construção e reprodução dessa desvalorização. Se, por um lado, essa é a realidade de um número significativo de mulheres, temos de considerar, no entanto, que esse cenário, para alguns setores femininos, tem sofrido alterações nas últimas décadas. A crescente e constante ampliação da escolaridade feminina tem contribuído para ampliar o espaço de atuação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho também em profissões que, historicamente, têm sido consideradas como espaços masculinos. As profissões científicas e tecnológicas inserem-se nesse contexto. Essas carreiras estão associadas a conhecimentos de ciência e tecnologia cuja construção histórica e social foi marcada por exclusões de gênero que resultaram em campos com predominância masculina, seja pelo perfil de gênero dos seus profissionais, seja pela forma como seus conhecimentos se desenvolveram, estruturaram-se ou se organizaram. A baixa participação feminina, nesse universo, ainda é uma realidade, particularmente na Engenharia. A reduzida presença de mulheres é um fenômeno que pode ser visto como corolário da baixa presença feminina em cursos superiores dessa área.
