From the Paper
"Since COBOL is still a prominent programming language, this section compares some of COBOL's strengths and weaknesses to typical organizational needs. This section does not probe in detail into all of these strengths and weaknesses as these are provided more comprehensively in chapters 3 and chapter 4. Many people question COBOL's utility for modern-day business applications (Fischer, et al., 1995). This is due in part because of the rigidity of some of COBOL's capabilities, and the many changes and alterations COBOL has experienced in recent years."

Abstract
This paper details a marketing plan to provide a framework for migrating customers from personal service to web-based self-service to both reduce costs while increasing the level of responsiveness and generating higher levels of loyalty from customers. It looks at how web-based self-service has proven to be a viable alternative versus large-scale expansion of call centers, freeing up technical support and services personnel to work on more complex customer problems. It also examines how providing customers with multiple avenues to gain support over the Internet through a web-based self-service site on a 24/7 basis, regardless of their location globally, has major competitive advantages long-term.

From the Paper
"Project management of the web-based self-service initiative relies on a cross-functional team that will work through the entire New Product Development and Introduction (NPDI) process. This process includes defining the initial functional specifications of the website, then fine-tuning them through a series of meeting with Customer Advisory Councils with a representative set of customers. As part of the resource availability and allocation of personnel internally, there needs to be specific efforts made to create these advisory councils who will act as the Voice of the Customer (VoC) inputs into the website process. It is essential that each functional area of the organization also be included in this cross-functional team, and that they have the opportunity to learn through VoC programs what can be best done to meet customers' unmet needs.

Abstract
This work proposes research in order to answer specific questions related to human resource (HR) management strategy that affects worker efficiency within the organization. Different organizations are finding different technology solutions to be effective with variations in systems used for efficiency. This work reviews some of those systems in use and will compares and contrasts the systems and their various applications. The researcher holds that while technology has enabled workers to work from remote locations such as homes or businesses however, there has not been a utilization of this very fertile field of talent by HR managers or in other words there is a disconnect between HR management and utilization of tele-workers in promotion of worker efficiency.

From the Paper
"Research has shown that: "Human resources (HR) departments play a critical role in contributing to the overall productivity and strength of an organization." (E-HR: Increasing Human Resources Efficiency with a Proven Portal Solution, 2006) In fact, it has been noted by the Oracle Corporation that efficiency in the organization "begins at the point of impact -where a worker performs a job." (Incorporating Human Capital Management Strategies for an Effective Workforce, 2006) Management of the human capital within an organization is one specific strategy, which empowers workers and leads to efficiency and productivity among workers in the organization. Today's business world is characterized by technological applications that streamline work resulting in worker efficiency. There are various solutions offered by various vendors for Human Resource strategic management to promote worker efficiency. Oftentimes the employee as well as the Human Resources personnel are entrapped in lengthy meetings filling out paperwork and going over options concerning worker insurance and benefits as well as reviewing vacation and sick leave accrual. The implementation of a HR management system has been found 'key' by Oracle for efficiency of workers, an important finding that this study will review in Chapter Two of the Literature Review in this work. Study findings reviewed also show that there is a great reluctancy on the part of Human Resources management to top the fertile field of talent represented by tele-workers. This work proposes research in order to answer specific questions related to HR Management Strategy that affects worker efficiency within the organization. Different organizations are finding different technology solutions to be effective with variations in systems used for efficiency. This work will review some of those systems in use and will compare and contrast the systems and their various applications."

Abstract
The paper examines an Intel marketing plan, by putting it in the framework of the structure of a business-to-business plan. The paper presents the typical facts which usually occur in a business-to-business activity and outlines the solutions necessary for a commercial attempt to prove successful. The paper describes the efficient four-stage methodology that will allow the campaign to be successful and regain the Intel's lost position in the marketplace.
From the Paper
"Intel has remained in the common conscience as one of the first producers of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, the domain on which its activity was mainly based until the early 1980s. "While Intel created the first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the creation of the personal computer (PC) that this became their primary business." This new project has become afterwards, during the 1990s, the main target of the company as its specialists understood this was the easiest way for a rapid growth. As a follow-up, Intel succeeded to become monopoly supplier of microprocessors for PCs, but it has used some aggressive strategies in the competition with Microsoft for monopoly on the PC market."

"The Internet and Terrorism", 2008.
A review of the article "The Internet and Terrorism" by James A. Lewis.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines Lewis' argument in his article, "The Internet and Terrorism", where he asserts that attempts to restrict terrorists' Internet use is not only illogical but likely impossible and would do more harm than good. The paper explains Lewis' belief that those who wish to limit Internet access to terrorists are not thinking logically but act impetuously in a manner that will likely hurt democratic society and free speech more than it will hurt terrorists.
From the Paper
"Lewis's article is a detailed opinion piece stressing the nature of the threat of the internet, as it is utilized as a tool by terrorists. The author stresses that the internet is above all a tool that has been utilized by terrorists to spread extremist doctrine and commit fraudulent acts that ensure funding, through means that are better and less risky than bank robberies and kidnappings. Lewis describes the need to assess the threat of the utilization of the internet by terrorists and take action that logically hinders its use for illegal means, such as identity theft or other means of obtaining resources."

Trust
From the Paper
"Both companies rely on e-business models that integrate both services and products into the same selling process, building a Bill of Materials that specifically tracks sold services and products. This makes it possible for both companies to track the fulfillment of services and the specific products' manufacturing process on a customer-by-customer basis. As the selling and fulfillment of customized services and products requires an inordinate amount of coordination across processes, each company's business models rely heavily on Service Oriented Architectures (SOA. An SOA is a platform that seeks to unify all processes need to support a business model, using IT resources to link those processes together."

Wearable Computers, 2008.
A discussion on how wearable computers can improve the efficiency of logistics.

Abstract
The paper relates that in the manufacturing industry sectors, the use of wearable computers to improve logistics at the services level and at distribution center level shows significant potential. The paper states that starting at the services level, specifically in the area of air and sea cargo, the use of wearable computers for scanning both bar codes and getting an accurate reading of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags is critical. The paper details the areas of the use of wearable computers in all industries, as there is always the need to keep customers informed of the state of their orders.
From the Paper
"This real-time data and analysis aspect of wearable computers also has the potential to revolutionize Distribution Center (DC) operations in the retailing industry specifically as well. The role of the DC is to act as a buffer between high levels of customer demand on the retail or store front side versus suppliers on the other. Wearable computers, equipped with WiFi access, would be able to define in real time what mixed-product pallets would need to be sent to which store. These mixed-product pallets could be create literally on the fly from inbound orders received by warehouse operators fulfilling orders throughout the DC. Instead of having orders queue up and print in the DC office, those fulfillment team members in a DC could get the orders in real time, create the mixed-product pallets, and get them out literally within hours instead of days. This would trim over a week, cumulatively, off the time it would take for a retail outlet to get an order fulfilled."

Warehouse Management Systems, 2008.
An analysis of why a state-of-the-art warehouse management system (WHS) is critical to the operation of a modern warehouse.
1,035 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the integral role of warehouse management in the overall supply chain of any organization makes the optimal performance critical for any company to achieve business objectives. The paper confirms that warehouse management systems (WMS) must optimize incoming inventory and outgoing product movement, while compensating for their physical and financial characteristics.
The paper states that companies need to be as efficient and economical as possible in managing their supply chains and warehouse planning and optimization is critical for their ability to compete globally.
From the Paper
"While in previous generations of WMS systems, the main dynamic forcing change has been the need for controlling costs and for accounting for inventory, the state-of-the-art WMS today is being used for making an organization more capable of responding quickly and accurately to the needs of customers. This demand-driven aspect of WMS implementations is also being increasingly built on existing facilities that are being re-designed to better support optimization logic of these WMS systems. Another dynamic forcing the growth of state-of-the-art WMS systems is the need for increased visibility to all warehouse activities, including inventory and order status. With the increasingly strong level of analytics available from software vendors, many organizations are opting to create scorecards to measure the performance of their WMS systems and benchmark them over time. A side-benefit of this high level of quantification is the ability to track warehouse employee productivity over time, find those processes that need to be better managed so warehouse employees will be more efficient and overall, and cut down on the level of turnover in warehouse operations."

Abstract
The paper reviews the literature concerning the impact of gender on occupations in the past and today. The paper concludes that many of the same trends that have affected the gender of a given occupation in the past can be expected to come into play in the future as well. The paper points out, however, that the impact of technology will likely have more of an effect on these strict gender-divisions than in the 19th and even the 20th centuries. The paper explains that things are changing faster as more people seek out alternative work arrangements such as telecommuting, where an individual's gender will likely be of less significance. The paper includes a table, graphs and extensive source material.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Some men and women may simply disregard certain career fields because of stereotypical perceptions of either the work involved or of the types of people that seek out such professions. In the not-so-distant past, people's career choices were related in many ways to their gender, with many fields being regarded as the sole domain of either men or women. Today, though, women enjoy many of the same opportunities as their male counterparts in almost every field of endeavor, and while the so-called glass ceiling may remain firmly in place in some regions of the country, enormous progress has been made in recent years to help level the playing field for everyone in the United States in terms of employment."

Abstract
The paper states that the growth of the Internet has created a number of options for entertainment and gaining knowledge. A function of the Internet is that it creates a virtual world where interaction is possible, however the stress of this function is that, without leaving home an individual, theoretically could live nearly their entire life. The foundations of the Massive Multi Player Online Games (MMOGs) are such that social networks are established and built on regardless of the proximity of the individual to other individuals. The paper states that a strong camaraderie is shared by all, and if one so chooses, a social network that builds social capital, can be created and built on. The paper continues and discusses various researches that have been done and concludes that MMOG's are crucial to the world of the future.
From the Paper
"In short MMOGs provide and opportunity that is not fully understood but gives a clear indication of the development of social capital as one so of its core and essential motives. Despite the fact that some argue this type of social capital is not applicable to the real world, there is also a clear sense that development takes place within this realm that might never have taken place in the real world and for some this is a key to unlocking their real world social potential, while for others it becomes a surrogate social environment that is clear (bound by a mutually understood set of rules) and easily navigated through. Ether way real social capital is being developed."
