Acquisition systems are shaped by calls for reforming, improving and modification. These calls include tangible processes, tools, and methods geared towards meeting cost, schedule, and technical performance. Failure avoidance is often considered a driving factor in acquisition systems. However, there remains a lack of systems research, particularly the inclusion of systems perspectives in acquisition systems failure analysis. The aim of this research was three-fold: 1) to understand the current state of acquisition systems with an emphasis on success/failures; 2) to elevate general systems theory (GST) as a foundation for the comprehensive characterisation of system acquisition failure, and; 3) to articulate a GST-based approach for identification/assessment of failures in system acquisition. Using GST, a grounded theory method is used to develop a construct for system acquisition pathology and validated in a case application. A method for identification of system acquisition pathology is then described along with implications for system acquisition research.

Security breaches are very costly in the USA, followed very closely by the Middle East. Shareholders and investors demand that their firms mitigate all kinds of risks, and it is the responsibility of the BOD to gain and maintain their confidence. In view of this scenario, MENA companies need to protect their data, while the BODs need to embed a culture of cybersecurity in the firm. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between information technology governance (ITG) and the level of cybersecurity by MENA listed firms. The study used a checklist to collect data from a sample of 94 firms listed in the financial stock markets of the MENA countries for the year ended 2018. The study found that there is a significant and direct relationship between ITG and the level of a firm's cybersecurity. This indicates the importance of appointing board members with IT knowledge and experience. This leads to better decisions taken by the BODs when faced with cyber-threats and challenges. In addition, IT expertise on the BODs can be important to understand what the Heads of IT are doing on the inside and, thus being knowledgeable enough to challenge their actions.

Planning or implementation delays of critical infrastructure (CI) projects resulted in misfortunes such as accidents, stampedes or deaths. In this descriptive case study, an incidence of the stampede at the suburban train station in Mumbai has discussed. An endeavour has been made to examine underlying causes which instigate direct causes reinforced by contributing causes. Indian Army was being roped in for constructing additional foot-over-bridge (FOB) after the stampede. This case features the earnestness of appropriate and timely development of associated infrastructure in and around suburban stations in Mumbai proportionate to abundant passengers commuting. Post stampede reports from newspapers, televisions channels and the internet have largely used to build this case. Pre and post cause analysis discussion on Elphinstone Road FOB stampede case is an eye-opener to justify sustainable emergency management and associated infrastructure development in Mumbai.
