Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the collective unconscious and comunally shared ideas and looks at how this relates to myths. The writer compares the various beliefs of Freud and Jung in this regard. The writer notes that unlike the personal ideas of the area of the unconscious that are specific to the individual, the idea of the collective unconscious suggests that the human community shares certain specific, particular concepts or stories known as myths. Further, the writer points out that although these ideas are not articulated upon the surface, they are made evident in the myths and stories produced by the community.
From the Paper
"Unlike the personal ideas of the area of the unconscious that are specific to the individual, the idea of the collective unconscious suggests that the human community shares certain specific, particular concepts or stories known as myths. Although these ideas not articulated upon the surface, they are made evident in the myths and stories produced by the community. Jung might note that Freud's chose a myth to express the idea of the Oedipus complex, or the hostility of child-parent relations between the child and the parent of the same sex. Rather than a tale of the Greek classical belief in the unavoidability of fate, as the surface meaning of the Oedipus story might seem to express, the tale becomes an expression of the entire human community."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of improving decision-making within the context of organizations. It discusses businesses in both the public and the private sectors and the differences in creative decision-making between the two sectors. It looks at ways that the components of these two paradigms are somehow melded into a composite creative decision-making model that engenders the best of both solutions but results in an efficient, creative methodology with wide application for the small to medium enterprise (SME).
Outline:
Introduction
Biases and Creativity
Proposal
Threats and Opportunities
Conclusion
From the Paper
"TQM can provide even the SME with a broad framework within which to become more competitive and responsive to its particular marketplace. Without such a broad framework within which to implement the nexus for creative decision-making processes the SME can only implement change for creative input at the departmental or unit level but the organizational culture as a whole remains unchanged and unaffected. Creative decision-making processes are best introduced as part of the organizational culture itself where the belief in the change becomes an organizational value rather than just another page in the SME's employee handbook."

Abstract
This paper discusses the implications of economic development, particularly in the form of enterprise zones. The paper defines enterprise zones and discusses their purpose, and focuses on the strengthening of enterprise zones in the state of North Carolina. The paper also looks at the cost benefit analysis and the incentives for the government to set up th development programs in the form of minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise (MWDBE) programs. Finally, the paper looks at the ethical consequences associated with the programs.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The city of Charlotte focuses consistently on the needs of the community and the ethical standards that are essential in evaluating programs and the populations that those programs affect ("City", 2006, p. 14). In some locations the economic development initiatives that have been attempted through the creation of enterprise zones have not been affective because of the government's willingness to bend rules regarding enterprise zone policies and support wealthy business owners. Yet, in North Carolina this issue was alleviated with the changes in the policies associated with enterprise zones in 1999. It is for this reason that it is evident that the inclusion of MWBDE businesses within enterprise zones in North Carolina would be handled with the utmost ethical considerations, leading to a successful partnership between enterprise zones and the disadvantaged businesses in the zone areas."

Decision Making, 2006.
This paper explores the research and development (R&D) activities of high technology companies.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 0 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how high technology companies seem to occupy the juncture of a typical revenue generating for-profit enterprise, with the idealistic disregard for revenue of a non-profit. The paper explains that this situation occurs because while the high-tech enterprise itself is driven by the requirements of shareholders, the research and development (R&D) activities of the enterprise require artistic creative forces that are free from the constrictive weight of fiscal responsibility. Thus, the paper shows how bounded rationality offers the best decision-making model for such an enterprise, because it appropriates the mental capacities of the human condition and makes the seemingly over complex palatable to the creative minds driving typical R&D departments.

Abstract
This paper reviews the recent research on the TREC Enterprise Track, showing that the Enterprise Track includes research into ways of developing enterprise track searching, a means of providing data to a user who is searching the data of an organization to complete some task. Such a track is usually an internal search for data gathered and stored by the given enterprise, be that a business, a university, a government project, or any type of research project or business enterprise that gathers data. The paper further discusses how other users in the same organization can make use of this data for other purposes, for developing trends, for making predictions, and for many other tasks, and an enterprise search enables these users to find what they want in a useful form.

Abstract
In recent years, enterprise-wide networking has been the topic of discussion. Advances in technology and networking systems have caused organizations to develop new management techniques for enterprise-wide networks. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the management of enterprise-wide networking by focusing on four aspects of enterprise-wide networking, including legacy systems, Internet security, off-shore development, and support and mobile computing. It investigates how each of these aspects is handled within an enterprise.
Outline
Introduction
Legacy Systems
Internet Security
Off-shore Development and Support
Mobile Computing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the main means of internet security is through digital certifcation authorities (CA). This method includes the use of usernames, and passwords among other things. Authentification attempts to protect an enterprise wide network from hackers and to protect consumers from identity theft. An article in the CPA Journal explains that there are five areas of digital certification that need to be resolved. (PKI: The Key to Enhanced Internet Security Standards...2003 These areas include; Required identification, Authentication and authorization procedures, levels of assurance assigned to certificates, Accreditation of root and subordinate CAs under the WebTrust for Certification Authorities Program and Consistent application of standards across the CA industry (PKI: The Key to Enhanced Internet Security Standards...2003)."

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion and case study analysis concerning the various strategies that enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors have developed. The paper uses examples of findings from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who have utilized these new options. Included is an assessment of what barriers exist in the implementation of ERP systems in SMEs. The study also provides an overview of the relevant issues, as well as those factors that contributed to their success or failure. Salient findings and a summary of the research, including the fact that virtually all small to medium-sized enterprises can take advantage of the benefits offered through a well selected ERP package, are provided in the conclusion, as well as recommendations to follow.
From the Paper
"Today, more and more SMEs are being pressured by an increasingly globalized economy to modify their traditional management styles, both operationally and organizationally, by replacing them with more streamlined and integrated systems that serve to improve the speed and flexibility of their physical and information flows (Jones, 2002), help synchronize demand with supply, and help manage transactions more accurately (Bigras & Gelinas, 2004). There are, however, a wide range of ERP alternatives available to assist in this regard, depending on what size firm is involved (Laursen, 2002). The majority of the ERP software packages are most appropriate for companies with more than $500 million in annual sales and more than 500 employees (Johnston, 2003); however, there are now a number of ERP solutions available on the market and even the main ERP players have solutions that are appropriate for the SME market (Krystkowiak, Bucciarelli & Dubois, 2004; Bielski, 2002). According to the report, "Mid-market Manufacturers and the New Landscape for Enterprise Resource Planning" (2005), "Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are streamlining and automating processes that small manufacturers would have found cumbersome to carry out on a global basis. This process improvement, in turn, allows these manufacturers to extend their geographic reach at lower costs" (p. 3). Therefore, ERP packages provide SME managers with more efficient and effective ways to interconnect geographically dispersed stakeholders and integrate existing information and communication technologies (Blenkhorn & Fleisher, 2001)."

What is It?
What Can FE Do?
Basic Underlying Components
Free Enterprise and How to Use It
Government in Free Enterprise
From the Paper
"American Free Enterprise (FE) has its foundation in the principles of free enterprise and capitalism as outlined by Adam Smith in his ground breaking work on economic theory, The Wealth of Nations: "...the basic principles were first laid down in a book published in 1776 by the Scottish economist Adam Smith (1723-1790). Known as The Wealth of Nations...it has often been referred to as ''the bible of capitalism''..."(Shaffer 1). One of the basic tenets of FE as propounded by Adam Smith and as embraced by the United States is that individual people and companies should be allowed to pursue their own enterprise without threat from over-regulation by government and from government intervention."

Abstract
The paper examines how many business drivers that are influencing and growing the use of enterprise service bus (ESB) architectures throughout global manufacturing are also making it critical for manufacturers to take into account the need for greater synchronization of supply chains across the many sourcing, supply chain, manufacturing, fulfillment and service centers. The paper discusses how, over and above the need for manufacturers to synchronize these disparate, legacy and often non-integrated systems with enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain, distributed order management, and often, global customer relationship management (CRM) systems is the more fundamental challenge of turning all these systems into competitive advantages in the marketplace.

From the Paper
"The logic of many global manufacturers is that while they are incurring the costs of attaining compliance to government regulations and standards for financial disclosure, they can at the same time completely re-define their IT strategies to better align with the needs of their business. In this regard many manufacturers today look to compliance as the impetus for change, and the primary reason to re-architecting how information technologies and services support making their organizations more agile and flexible."

From the Paper
"Pfizer's executive leadership should identify financial reporting objectives with sufficient clarity and specificity to enable the identification of risks to reliable financial reporting. Pfizer should identify and analyze risks that are associated with preventing the achievement of financial reporting objectives as a basis for determining how the risks should be managed. The potential for possible financial misstatement due to fraudulent reporting should be incorporated when assessing risks to the achievement of financial reporting objectives with the company."

From the Paper
"Reliance on the Internet has greatly decreased the time it takes for individuals and companies to get their communication across. It is now the fastest and the easiest way for people to make transactions, get information, and communicate with each other. The impact of the Internet has spread to all kinds of people, in all walks of life and axiomatically for businesses to expand into the online world. Specific business and management methods that have been honed and practiced for years have now become somewhat different in context with their application online and several new business methodologies like B2B have come into practice that are more capable of handling businesses on the net."

Abstract
This research paper examines the problems associated with enterprise risk management (ERM), demonstrates the seriousness and significance of these problems to the well-being of a company and comes up with ideas that show how ERM problems can be reduced in size. The study also attempts to identify the businesses that are struggling with ERM so that they can be assisted, as well as show how ERM has been evaluated and treated throughout history, since it was not always recognized as being as legitimate as it is today. The study encompasses all of the important components of ERM, from its background to recommendations for the future and attempts to show all of the concerns that are being dealt with, how serious enterprise risk management really is, and whether more should be done in the study of it to help more companies improve the quality of the lives of those that work for them.

From the Paper
"Now that leadership has been defined it is more important to turn the attention towards the specifics such as leadership within the hotel industry. This is one of the areas and businesses that the researcher has chosen to use as an example of ERM. This is also done because it is easier to see how everything fits together within ERM if a specific industry is looked at and used as an example Most of the information can also be generalized to many other industries. This area will include not only the role of the leader but transformational leadership as well. Both of these are very important considerations when it comes to leadership within the hotel industry. Naturally, the role that the leader plays in this type of industry is vital because he or she often has so many demands on his or her time that managing things correctly and leading people appropriately is something that must be dealt with carefully and properly."

Abstract
The paper looks at Vincent Padilla's study "The Gang as an American Enterprise". The paper basically takes on overview of the study discussing what type of study is and what certain questions are asked ending with a critique of the study. The writer shows how Padilla was able to enter a gang after many years of attempting, in order to find answers to the following questions: What is the process in entering and leaving the gang? How is the gang an American Enterprise? What is the involvement of drugs in this gang? Why are people joining gangs?
From the Paper
"These questions seem to lead the reader to believe that the study would be a descriptive study as it asks mostly what and how questions with the social phenomenon being gangs and gangs being used as a substitute for a job market. In this descriptive study it took Padilla a while to gain enough access to a gang to provide enough information. The first time around he was going to study ex-gang members, but the sample was too small and the information too little, although this was not a waste of time as he gained information about gangs and gang members in this small study. For the main research he contacted a friend of his, a probation officer, and from there he was lead to his main informant Coco. Coco not only was his main informant, but he also allowed Padilla to gain access to other gang members and the gang atmosphere."

Enterprise Architecture Planning, 2002.
This paper is a case study that uses the principles of Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) to correct a data warehousing IS (Information Systems) solution selection problem.

Abstract
This paper describes the four stages of Enterprise Architecture Planning: Developing a framework for the plan, performing initial migration, performing major application migration and the post-migration stage. The author believes that while executive support is critical for an enterprise-wide project, it also is important that the users understand the benefit of the system and have input into its design. The paper states that using EAP means the company starts by defining the action, technology and transition programs needed well before a budget or timeline is established and the project itself is defined.

Recommendations for Future Data Warehousing Project
Conclusion
From the Paper
"User education can be critical to the success of EAP, and requires that the company not just seek information from users (as SPFIS did), but also "sell" users on the benefits of the new architecture (which SPFIS did not). The users expected a system which provided them with the same information they had previously, including the same type of reports (not taking into account that their reports were previously generated by individual users). Instead of working with the users to explain how the new reporting system would meet their needs, albeit in a somewhat different form, the users were expected to embrace the new system simply because the CEO wanted it to be so. With earlier "buy-in" by the users, the system could have been better designed to meet their needs and would have had a better chance of providing the maximum benefit to the organization."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the current PEAS (packaged enterprise application systems) marketplace. It focuses on the four biggest enterprise applications companies; SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft and JDEdwards. The paper begins with an analysis of each company, discussing their product offerings as well as individual strengths and weakness. It also discusses how the mergers between PeopleSoft and JDE and the potential merger between Oracle, PeopleSoft and JDE will impact the PEAS marketplace, and more specifically, which merger has the better potential to compete with SAP.
From the Paper
"During the past few months, three of the major players in the PEAS marketplace have been involved in some intriguing merger and acquisition battles. On June 2nd, PeopleSoft announced a takeover bid for JDE. Soon after, Oracle, in an effort to stop and/or delay such a merger, announced a hostile takeover bid for PeopleSoft. Since then PeopleSoft had announced its completion of the acquisition (PeopleSoft 2003). Oracle, in response, boosted its hostile takeover bid of PeopleSoft?s shares to approximately US$7.3billion. But both PeopleSoft and JDE are vehemently opposed to Oracle?s offer, which they view as anti-competitive and will ?dramatically undervalue the Company? (PeopleSoft 2003). Meanwhile, SAP, the biggest company in the PEAS marketplace, looks on, and launches a marketing campaign to capture both PeopleSoft and JDE customers who may be hesitant about buying software from companies in the midst of mergers and acquisitions (Vetich 2003:16). Although SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft and JDE are all competing against each other in the PEAS marketplace, all four specializes in different areas of the market."
