From the Paper
"THE AMARNA LETTERS
We do not know, of course, exactly when civilization began, in terms of writing down daily events, creating grammar, fashioning a language that could be understood by the people, and developing a means of informing, educating and unifying ancient people. However, the Amarna Letters, actually grammatically detailed in four intensive volumes by Rainey (1996), provide interesting insight and information about ancient Canaan "on the verbal system in the Byblos letters… and the Akkadian grammar, written by the scribes in Canaan (and) thoroughly treated and usually put in a wider context" (Van Soldt, 1998, p. 1). This stems from a thorough review by Van Soldt of a book by Anson F. Rainey, Linguistic A Analysis of the Mixed Dialect used by Scribes from Canaan (four volumes, 1996)."

Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication, 2001.
An examination of the relationship between two forms of communication - verbal and non-verbal.
2,000 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that when we think about communication, we think about the spoken word and that our thoughts are always about the words people use and their fluency of speech. Yet, at the same time, we are also taking in information from nonlinguistic sources. The author notes that people's mannerisms, clothing, and appearance are also important, as well as their tone of voice. Researches have estimated that, in face-to-face communication, as much as 90 percent of the social meaning may be carried in the nonverbal message and that facial appearance and response may contribute more to our meaning of their message than all their words. The paper explores the importance of both types of communication and how they are put across.
From the Paper
"As popularly used, language refers to a system of words. This development is not surprising, since words distinguish human communication from that of lower animals. Words, as symbols, usually convey information in a quite deliberate, no instinctive way. For this reason, language is sometimes treated as a set of verbal symbols."

"Another book entitled ?Contemporary Career development? asserts that there are other factors behind the use of reward systems in the workplace. The author explains that organizations not only use reward systems to increase productivity and performance, but also to urge potential employees to join the organization and to reinforce organizational structure. (Morrison 1991) The author points out that most companies use short term reward systems for employees.
Morrison (1991) explains that while short term reward systems are effective, lomg term reward system are usually more beneficial to the overall business strategy and employees. The author explains that effective reward systems ?consider the interrelationships among the pattern of organizational career paths; requisite human resource inputs in terms of skills, attitudes, training, and career stages; and organizational life cycles in order to develop the appropriate fit between the reward system and career development system for meeting both short- and long-term organizational objectives.?(Morison 1991)"

Abstract
The paper explains the development, function, and purpose of database management systems. It explains the differences between the two major types of database management systems and evaluates some of their strengths and weaknesses. A comparison chart of database management systems is included at the end of the paper.
From the Paper
"Object-oriented database management system (ODBMS) vendors were hopeful that future applications would be implemented with pure object-oriented systems (Devarakonda, 2001). Initially, these systems looked promising, but they were unable to live up to the expectations. A new technology has evolved in which relational and object-oriented concepts have been combined or merged. These systems are called object-relational database management systems (ORDBMS). ORDBMSs best ODBMSs in most situations because they can provide massive scalability as well as object-oriented features. Today, ODBMS use is mostly confined to niche applications where the data being managed falls into hierarchical structures with numerous and somewhat unpredictable relationships between data objects."

From the Paper
"The Japanese employment system has been described by some as the result of cultural norms encouraging high commitment, reciprocity, and conformity, but Andrew Gordon takes the opposing view that these practices are actually an economic response. He traces this system back to its roots in pre-war Japan, showing how the system developed from a different system in the era of World War I and the 1920s into something closer to the current system because of the interplay of economic forces.
The Japanese system offers many observable Japanese managerial practices which can be reduced to three underlying factors:
1) a long-run planning horizon;
2) a commitment to lifetime employment; and
3) a sense of collective responsibility."

Abstract
This paper presents a comparison and contrast of the presidential and parliamentary systems of government in terms of their key characteristics as well as their strengths and weaknesses. It finds that, to varying degrees, both systems are concerned with the promotion of accountability, responsibility and efficiency. Each system has a leader, the President and the Prime Minister, respectively, and power is held on the basis of popular support through political constituencies that are generally equal in population. A major difference between these two systems of government is that while the Senate in the American presidential system of government is an important and integral part of the day-to-day functioning of the system, the same cannot be said for the Senate in the Canadian parliamentary system. A major weakness of the American presidential system of government is that the legislative process can be slow and cumbersome.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Financial Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) was formed by the G-7 nations as an intergovernmental task force to examine money laundering trends, techniques and past AML actions and to develop new, more effective measures for implementation into anti-money laundering (AML) systems. The author points out that, although Switzerland and the U.K. have developed intricate AML systems as describe in this paper, the U.S.'s enforcement oriented AML system is the international leader. The paper recommends that AML systems could be strengthened by investigating and prosecuting money laundering activity in connection with every criminal offense, which is often associated with money laundering, such as terrorism, corruption and tax evasion This paper includes tables and graphs.

From the Paper
"It is important to understand past trends in methods for money laundering in order to predict and prevent the development of future methods. This is gained through an in-depth understanding of the prevalence and evolution of money laundering methods and their current and emerging trends. The identification of trends ensures that money laundering methods are understood and that action is taken to comprehend other key factors involved, such as context. Through its typologies effort, the FATF emphasized the identification and description of money laundering trends both at the worldwide level and on a more systematic basis."

Abstract
The writer of this clear and concise paper delves into the various advances made over the years to basic information systems while also detailing their usefulness in both business and personal settings. The writer contends that computer information systems were initially developed to assist in managing and storing valuable data and information in both an organized and accessible form. Earlier computer systems required humans to manually load, enter and run computer programs, this is no longer the case as is explained in this paper. This paper discusses the functions of basic operation systems that each and every computer must contain in order to operate. This paper also delves into computer networking which is defined as a set of computers and connected devices that are linked together by shared communication facilities.

From the Paper
"The term network has been defined as a set of computers and connected devices that are linked by communication facilities. Thus a network can be two computers connected by a cable or thousands of computers connected by high-speed data communication links that is spread all over the world. Network gives us two basic advantages: the facility to communicate and the facility to share. A network helps in communication between users in better ways than other media. E-mail, the most well known form of network communication, offers inexpensive, printable communication with the facility of sending, reply, storage, recovery, and addition. Network supports collaboration with its capacity to share. This is the main charm of popular software called groupware that is created in such a way to allow many users to have electronic meetings and work alongside on projects. Internet is a network of computer networks, upon which anybody who has permission to a host computer can circulate their own documents."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that by progressing from the role of pure technologist to that of strategist and business process re-engineering expert through the use of programming, service-oriented architectures (SOA), and composite application development tools, the systems analyst is revolutionizing how companies are using IT to support and enable their accomplishment of business objectives. The writer notes that the traditional role of IT as a cost center is being transformed as a result in many organizations with the chief information officer becoming one of the lead strategists of an organization, responsible for the accomplishment of line-of-business objectives. The writer concludes that the evolution from purely being a cost center to profit center is in direct proportion of the system analyst to be the change agent that assists in the accomplishment of business objectives first, using technology as the competitive advantage and differentiator.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another aspect of the role of the business analyst which will gain significant importance in the coming five years is that of being a business process management (BPM) analyst and strategies. BPM is the redefining of core business processes to make them more efficient and economical while aligning them more closely with core business goals and objectives. As Keller points out, the use of rules-based systems are being used as the foundation of business process management applications and tools used by business analysts to translate business requirements into IT components. (Keller 1999) further makes the point of how rule-based systems can become constrictive over time, where the realities of lines of business gets modeled to the nth degree, and in the end, little change is actually delivered. The fact that rules-based systems are increasingly being used for interpolating, analyzing, and ultimately translating business processes into applications is giving business analysts a critical tool to do their jobs as their role changes. Simply put, systems analysts are not so much project managers, but interpreters of business requirements and their translation into business process improvements."
