What would you do?Outsourcing worked well for your company's new COO in his previous company. Now he's pushing it for your company, where you run engineering for the head of Operations. You and your boss believe outsourcing is wrong because it would eliminate one of your company's key competitive advantages - its ability to manufacture custom-built products quickly and at prices that nearly match your competitors' build-to-stock prices. You push back, but the COO disagrees and orders you to make the case for outsourcing. He says the company's CEO/founder supports this new direction absolutely. Though your boss personally opposes outsourcing, he says you have no choice. What would you do?"Do the Right Thing" is a collection of this and 20 more stories compiled in memory of Don Davis, a long-time teacher in MIT's Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) program. A successful leader himself - for over 20 years he was CEO of The Stanley Works, which he built into a Fortune 500 firm - Davis taught his MIT course, Leadership and Ethics, around a set of leadership principles, his "mantras," that he distilled from his own long experience. Because he knew the principles were simple in concept but difficult to apply, Davis built his course around stories of knotty leadership problems that he, along with the many prominent guest speakers he brought in, had faced.In that same spirit, his students in "Do the Right Thing" describe how they went on to management positions at all levels and applied those mantras to resolve nitty-gritty leadership problems themselves. There are no simple answers here, no easy resolutions for all involved, only tough choices that invite you to learn by asking yourself, "What would I do?"

Five years on from its adoption in 1997 by the Object Management Group (OMG), the Uni?ed Modeling Language is the de facto standard for creating - agrammatic models of software systems. More than 100 books have been written about UML, and it is taught to students throughout the world. The de?nition of UML version 2 is well under way, and should be largely completed within the year. This will not only improve and enhance UML itself, including standard facilities for diagram interchange, but also make it fully integrated with other modeling technologies from the OMG, such as Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and XML Metadata Interchange (XMI). The Object Constraint Language, which has become an important vehicle for communicating detailed insights between UML researchers and practitioners, will have a much expanded speci?cation and be better integrated with the UML. The popularity of UML signi?es the possibility of a shift of immense prop- tions in the practice of software development, at least comparable to the shift from the use of assembly language to "e;third-generation"e; or "e;high-level"e; p- gramming languages. We dream of describing the behavior of software systems in terms of models, closely related to the needs of the enterprise being served, and being able to routinely translate these models automatically into executing p- grams on distributed computing systems. The OMG is promoting Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) as a signi?cant step towards this vision, and the MDA c- cept has received considerable support within the IT industry.
