Abstract
This paper compares the sophisticated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with the simpler Decision Support Systems (DSS), including their similarities and differences. The paper also discusses the role that support systems play in the decision-making process of organizations.
From the Paper
"In business and politics, information is often equated to power. Having the right information at the right time can help decision makers make better decisions than when they are faced with inaccurate or incomplete information. However, companies tend to produce large amounts of data, sales inventory levels and customer information that must be organized into information in order to be useful to decision makers. Computer technology has provided decision makers with summary information since the..."

From the Paper
"Fuzzy Logic allows us to measure imprecise and dynamic factors and allow for a reasonable judgement. For example, an air conditioner employing Fuzzy Logic can automatically regulate the temperature. If it's too hot, it will lower the temperature. It it's too cold, then it will increase the temperature. However, it's difficult to define what is "too hot" and what is "too cold". Also, there's the factor of humidity (dampness and dryness). Fuzzy Logic can control the system by accepting these dynamic variables and generating an optimal temperature output, providing better comfort for the user. Fuzzy Logic is now widely used in consumer electronics, agriculture, and manufacturing systems."

Abstract
This paper discusses the requirements for child support in Louisiana. The author points out how payments are processed and distributed and how payment is enforced so that children do not suffer from the negligence of non-custodial parents. This paper appreciates the complexity of child support systems in Louisiana.
From the Paper
"As American society has changed, so too have traditional conceptions of the family. Today, far more so than at any other time in America's history, the one-parent family has emerged as a statistical and social fact of life--however unsavory that may be to many Americans. The following research paper, so far as possible, will review child support as it relates to Louisiana. The paper will provide a definition of what constitutes child support in Louisiana, the requirements for child support in that state, how payments are processed (although this process, because of security concerns, is not made readily available to the general public), payment calculation, and not least of all enforcement process."

Decision Support System, 2002.
A review of the article by John R. Carlson, Dawn S. Carlson and Lori L. Wadsworth, "On The Relationship Between DSS Design Characteristics And Ethical Decision Making" Vol. 11, Journal of Managerial Issues.

Abstract
This paper looks at how the article discusses the problems of unethical behavior in an organization and how decision support system can help in making more ethically sound decisions. It evaluates how the authors present an in-depth study of decision support system (DSS) and its implementation in organizations for ethical decision making. Decision support system is software that helps in analyzing various situations and presents different decision alternatives. It examines how although ethics have become an extremely important issue of debate in our corporate sector, very little attention is paid to ethicality of decisions made at managerial level. It shows how the authors cite various examples to prove that ethics is an important subject in organizations and thus DSS must be implemented to make decision-making process more precise and accurate.
From the Paper
"Carlson and others have presented previous research findings in this connection to highlight the importance of ethics in organizations and to further support their argument in favor of implementation of information systems in decision-making process. Citing these researches, Dubinsky and Loken, 1989; Ferrell and Gresham, 1985; Fritzsche, 1995; Gottlieb and Sanzgiri, 1996; Hunt and Vitell, 1986; Jones, 1991; Rest, 1986; Trevino, 1986, the authors maintain that a lot of information is available on the subject of ethical decision making but there is significant fewer studies conducted ion the subject of support that should be given to the decision maker. Citing Carlson and Perrewe, 1995; Nielsen, 1990, Sims, 1991, they concur that very few well researched studies are available on support system which illustrates the fact that more in depth study is required in this area."

Abstract
The internet has brought about an incredible evolution in business practices and has vastly altered the ability of businesses to reach their clients and suppliers. This paper examines how, although business-to-business and business-to-consumer companies operating on-line are similar in many ways, the differences are also significant. It discusses many of the differences and outlines why those differences are so vital to the success of these companies. It also shows how from sales to orders to software integration and delivery systems, the variations are important.

From the Paper
"Most business-to-consumer sites operate similar to the traditional brick and mortar stores in terms of the supply chain. These companies typically have various suppliers from which they purchase either finished products or raw materials for the in-house production of a product. Many of those e-businesses that purchase finished products for resale are wholesalers. These companies or individuals contract with larger organizations to sell a company's product to the end-user for a small profit. Often these wholesalers do not have to maintain any sort of inventory, as the delivery of the product occurs via drop shipments."

Abstract
This paper outlines the necessity of computers in today's society and emphasizes the fact that computers do not perform without the aid of people. To support this claim, the writer describes three professions essential to information systems.
From the Paper
"The first person that we will discuss is the Computer Systems Analyst. This person is responsible for analyzing the needs of a business and designing a computer system to meet their needs. They also constantly evaluate existing systems and devise ways to improve production, work flow, or expand new systems for new purposes (COG 541). Their job requires a thorough knowledge of all phases of an operation so that they can best design a system to meet the customer?s needs. They design systems for all phases of an operation including operations planning, monitoring, testing, accounting, forecasting, coordination, scheduling, and many other areas. They may design the company?s entire system, or in larger companies, they may work as a team and be responsible for only a small part of it."

Abstract
A report on B2B (Business - to - Business) models. Reviews the web sites of merisel.com, kellypaper.com and intellibusiness.com. Evaluates how these sites are set up for value-added suppliers and other business users. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on to the information technology train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling. In addition to simply sharing forecasts and products, successful B2Bs work jointly to provide greater supply chain services, and ultimately larger profits for all partners involved.
From the Paper
"Although business-to-business activities occur both offline and online, the acronym B2B has come to be known and described as the online version. There is much hype given to the potential size of B2B markets and how much bigger it may get than the online business-to-consumer (B2C) world. The gravy train that drives these expectations is the hopes that information technology (IT) will deliver an inflection point in productivity and economic growth. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on this gravy train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling.

Abstract
This paper explains that business-to-business (B2B) enterprises were characterized by business owners seeking more efficient methods of buying and selling their products and services to other similarly situated companies. Today, B2B companies recognize the constraints inherent in these approaches and are refining their supply chain management practices. The author points out that when products have both low demand and supply uncertainties, the basis of competition is efficiency. There are two dimensions of efficiency: Cost and the coordination of information. The paper relates that the ability to provide predictable demand patterns and a stable supply process will allow companies to improve their supply chain efficiencies so that the cost of providing the product to the customers is the lowest possible.

From the Paper
"As a result, supply chain management has emerged as one of the major areas for companies to gain a competitive edge. The supply chain refers to the linked set of resources and processes that begins with the sourcing of raw material and extends through the delivery of end items to the final customer. The supply chain includes vendors, manufacturing facilities, logistics providers, internal distribution centers, distributors, wholesalers and all other entities that lead up to final customer acceptance; however, the extended supply chain for a given company may also include secondary vendors to their immediate vendors, and the customers of their immediate customers."

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal system has been greatly affected by the security and regulatory concerns affecting e-business, and as a result, existing laws have changed and new ones have been implemented accordingly. In recent years, the importance of legal issues in information systems security as it affects the pharmaceutical industry is a pressing concern for both governments and healthcare organizations regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The regulations implemented by HIPAA increase the security of patient sensitive information, which cannot be exchanged by third parties unless consented to by the patient. This law was implemented to increase the protection of identifiable information of patients such as name, address, contact information, and diagnosis."

Abstract
The paper examines the PeopleSoft and the army recruiting information support system (ARISS) systems and concludes that they both provide efficient benefits and compensation tracking, people management, training and learning modules. The paper relates that the PeopleSoft program provides superior support for private entities as the program is easily customized to meet the needs of individual organizations. The paper notes, however, that the ARISS software has many similar features that are customized to meet the needs of army personnel.
Outline:
Human Capital Management PeopleSoft
Human Capital Management ARISS
Conclusions
From the Paper
"According to a CedarCrestone survey (2005, 2006) of workplace technologies, PeopleSoft proved superior as a human capital management system. The survey suggests PeopleSoft is far superior for private and public entities interested in managing "benefits and payroll", in "learning management and talent management" and in "employee and manager self-service". Theses six criteria are the criteria the researcher uses to compare PeopleSoft with ARISS. PeopleSoft provides an easy-to-use user interface that allows benefits and compensation managers to exchange information through an intranet so payroll and associated benefits can be matched with each employee and other relevant party associated with the enterprise."
