Abstract
This paper looks at a research project which examined whether globalization has affected the goals of business leaders. It looks at the reasons for the research and the methods used.
From the Paper
"The research project discussed in this article was to show to what extent the shrinking world had wiped out the effects of national cultures or whether persistent national culture differences have avoided the effects of globalization. Throughout history people have always traded and made deals while pursuing their own often very different goals. There has been no need so far for trading partners to share goals and values. However the business world is changing and when businesses from different countries enter ..."

Abstract
The paper explains that the company discussed in this paper is a service repair and parts installation company for businesses and individuals in the farming sector. The paper then briefly dicusses the company's markeing plan, its enterprise resource planning (ERP) or software 'architecture' and its supply chain management process.
Next, the paper discusses what creative steps need to be undertaken if the e-business is to advance the interests of the company. The paper concludes that while online business is far from perfect and an e-business plan is always daunting for fledgling companies, it is certainly needed in the hyper-active business world of today.
From the Paper
"To begin with, the company in question is a service repair and parts installation company for businesses and individuals in the farming sector. The company itself is not large - it has less than 50 full-time employees - and its yearly sales total about $45-50 million per year with its income from repairs and service work totaling a little less than that. Additionally, it is located in the U.S. Midwest and lies near a number of community colleges that have strong electronics and computer programming departments. Proceeding further, the company is family-owned and wholly private; it has been in business since 1946 and enjoys a loyal customer base. In recent years however, developments within the farming industry have forced the company to re-evaluate its basic operations and whether or not it needs to implement an e-commerce package for its website."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that for manufacturing and service companies alike, the ability to quickly sense and respond to customer demand is critical for their growth and survival. For purposes of this analysis, examples from General Electrics' (GE) Lighting Division are used to both show how domestically and internationally this division uses information technologies to support business strategies. The writer points out that the two major business projects GE Lighting undertook globally was the development and implementation of a new website to support both channel selling partners or resellers and its direct outside sales force and to coordinate all sales activity with its inside sales force.
Outline:
Introduction
Partner Relationship Management Rationale
Partner Relationship Management Use Case
Order Capture and Management Integration to ERP System Rationale
Order Capture and Management Integration to ERP System Use Case
References
From the Paper
"The second strategy was to re-vamp their order capture website and order management systems that tied back to their ERP system. This second project focuses on coordinating all inbound orders and creating a multi-channel management system capable of giving an identical response to an inquiry from a customer, no matter which channel the customer chooses to use. This necessitated creating more reliable links to their ERP system so pricing, availability, order status, returns processing and warranty management could all be handled more efficiently than through separate systems. "
"For GE Lighting, selling into Europe presented even greater challenges of becoming and staying demand or market-driven as there are entrenched competitors including Phillips Lighting and smaller competitors by country, many of which had partner relationship management and order management systems in place that had become part of how their channel partners, direct sales force, and resellers did business."

Attitude as a Business Tool
From the Paper
"For many enterprises the move into international markets has become not one so much of choice as of necessity. In order to remain competitive and preserve revenue streams in the face of stiff international competition in home markets, enterprises have turned to entering foreign markets in order to remain solvent. In so doing, the enterprise becomes exposed to a whole slew of cultural and communication issues that global multi-national enterprises (MNEs) have been developing competencies to address for many years. These competencies are centered around first developing a market entry strategy based on a mode of entry and then inter-cultural communication, the organization's impact on the local economy of the new market, and the organization's position within the local community."

Business Requirements Analysis
Use Cases for Catalog Sales Management
Use Cases for Real-time Price, Availability, and Order Status
Technology Project Plan
Starbucks Solution Plans: Catalog Management must include e-Commerce System (includes Order Capture, Order Status, Order Management, and m-commerce Integration)
From the Paper
"AMR Research (2003) has stated that fully 70% of the cost of implementing a catalog management system is in changing the behaviors of existing users. Called change management, this area focuses on getting both users internal and external to the company to change how their jobs are done daily.
The internal stakeholders of sales, product management, service, operations, software engineering, and all other support services need to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire launch process first for the catalog management system they will use to sell their specific products. In fact these organizations need to be included in the development processes and cross-functional development meetings so the needs not only for their own departments but also to enable them to synchronize their efforts with others are critical.
For customers, the launch of the new catalog has to stress ease and speed of navigation and the ability to get real-time pricing and availability on any order, anytime. The need for education is the most critical, and the ability to position and promote both catalog management, e-commerce including order capture, and order management applications. "

From the Paper
"A commonly elapsed responsibility of the industry is the publicity factor. It is necessary that the industry develop the marketing and promotion concept carefully so that it does not only focus on introducing the products to public and attracting their attention to buy, but also educating the community with the correct information about what they consume. Many people, even the well-educated ones do not find the right information about natural health remedies, or simply do not have time to find one, and hold on the perception that ?natural product is always better than the factory-manufactured ones.?"

"This happened in our organization and it led to a conflict that took months to resolve. What happened was that Tom, our sales person, wrote a proposal to one of our valued clients. The proposal was very simple and it included the name of the product, the cost and the delivery time only. This was his first proposal in writing to any client, and before that Tom would take orders by convincing and talking to the client verbally. But this client was very professional and wanted a good proposal from our company. Tom, having no prior experience in writing proposals and reports, presumed that the client only required the price quote in writing and so he handed over a one-page proposal! "

Abstract
In this article, the writer offers both a business requirements analysis for Long Beach Mortgage, using cases regarding the broker front office tool (BFOT). The writer explains that the BFOT system provides FlashQuotes that include loan modeling and pricing data in real-time from the loan origination system (LOS). In addition, this project discusses the real-time integration between FlashQuotes and the LOS, which permits loan quotes to be uploaded electronically and tracked as they are funded. The writer points out that inherent in these requirements is the need for tailoring quotes to the specific requirements of customers and their unique financing and loan needs on the one hand, and the need to deliver a quoting system easy enough to learn, use, and quickly traverse to capture loan prospect's needs on the other.

From the Paper
"Creating an automated quoting system is one of the most effective online selling strategies any company can pursue, and this is especially true in financial services, Long Beach Mortgage's core business. The business development team has found in their initial research that existing approaches to completing quotes, generating pricing, and then tracking specific opportunities are for the most part manual. Like many financial services and manufacturing teams, they are also finding that every sales representative has a slightly different approach to creating quotes, pricing, and tracking them. The result is that often tracking the overall sales pipeline, or value of potential prospects in total across the entire company, is difficult to achieve."

From the Paper
"Southcorp began operations as an independent company in 1993, after it separated from its parent company, South Australian Brewing. Southcorp became Australia's largest wine producer in 2002. During the mid 1990s, Southcorp diversified its operations into industries such as electrical goods, water heating and packaging. These diverse operations were a financial disaster and costly to the business, and in the late 1990s Southcorp began do divest itself of all its non-wine related businesses. In February 2001 Southcorp announced an AU$1.5 billion merger/takeover with Rosemount Estates, "the most successful wine company in the world in terms of [the size of its] return on equity"3. However, the merger has been described as "nothing short of a disaster" after disappointing financial results. The Rosemount Estate brand name, for example, was revalued at only AU$340 million (AU$240 million down from before the merger), and, partly because of this, the company recorded an AU$922.9 million loss for the Financial Year ending June 30, 2003 (FY2003)."

Abstract
This paper explains architectural technology from the viewpoints of information, the application, technology and business. The author points out that Compaq suggests that one way to improve revenues is to reduce the cost of technology by making the layouts easier to read. The paper reports that Intergov suggests that businesses can be successful if they communicate their ideas well, endorse the principles, review the requirements, investigate several launch service renewal products and open a government-wide information infrastructure project. Many long quotations, well cited.
From the Paper
"I also believe that we need to discuss the business principles in architecture. First of all, like all businesses, the client is the most important. Without them, there would be no architectural company. So the "client needs should drive the design of these services". The second most important is the employees who are working for the architectural company. Again, without them there wouldn't be a company. We wouldn't have anyone to do the work. So "employees' involvement, development, and commitment are critical to successful business renewal". The third thing is reducing the workload. They call this "Common Shareable Solutions". Common requirements will be addressed by common shareable solutions. The fourth factor in business is partnership."
