Abstract
This paper explains that the businesses value of the application of Oracle E-Business Suite to J.P. Morgan is implementing the basic capabilities of the application in integrating and assimilating financial data about customers and markets. The author suggests that some improvements to the existing application might be to make it less flexible and less easily applicable to other systems, which would give Oracle more exclusivity, given its ubiquity to the Internet age. The paper relates that some of the selling points of Oracle's contribution to the business sector and some of the reasons J.P. Morgan uses it includes a more holistic analysis of its overall image, its application to a variety of systems and industries, and its compatibility with other existing systems.
From the Paper
""The E-Business Suite is "purveyed through industry-leading independent software vendor (ISV) applications running on high-performing, scalable Oracle technology." Before, at JP Morgan, back-office applications that captured data for analysis were disaggregated and put into data silos rather than integrated. It became clear that financial institutions on the cutting edge of the industry, such as JP Morgan desired to be, must rely upon better integrated data in order to meet demands from regulators and customers, and to deliver the performance shareholders demanded in increasingly competitive times."

E. E. Cummings' "Advice", 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses how E. E. Cummings, in his essay "A Poet's Advice to Students", advises that the best way to write poetry is to be a poet, and how his most persuasive explanation of what it is to be a poet is his explanation itself. The paper looks at how the perpetual enactment of Cummings' own demonstration of 'pistis' utilizes complex rhetorical strategies, which are artfully veiled by simple words and appealing rhythm to make his 'feeling' accessible to the reader. The paper asserts that, while Cummings' words are characteristically his own, their seeming simplicity echoes Aristotle's observation that the most persuasive art is the appearance of artlessness.
From the Paper
"The title functions to both introduce the ethos, or character, of the speaker and establish the kairos, or occasion, of the text's reception. Ethos refers specifically to the character of the speaker as presented in the text, intended to establish the trustworthiness of the argument's presenter. Here, the title positions the speaker as a 'poet', who is therefore qualified to offer the instruction to follow. By prefacing the text as the 'advice' of an established poet to 'students', the title also serves to construct its own kairos by positioning the reader as one who may be educated by that which is explained. Thus, the title itself performs the rhetorical function of establishing the speaker's trustworthiness while simultaneously engendering receptiveness in the reader. "

E.E. Cummings, 2002.
Examines the opinions of poet E.E. Cummings on technology and man's alienation from nature.
664 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 23.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Poet E.E. Cummings considered any force that threatened what is natural and instinctive to be an antagonist of life, an adversary that men must confront before they completely lost their ability to feel and respond as individuals. The paper shows that Cummings thought mankind obsessed with technological advances and flashy advertisements promising the American ideal that he renounced the natural condition by developing needs for unnecessary things. The paper examines Cummings' contempt for man's alienation from his true self in the poems "pity this busy monster, manunkind," and "when serpents bargain for the right to squirm," which scorn what organized society has proudly developed.
From the Paper
"Cummings further expressed his fear of the degradation of man's natural state three years later when he wrote "when serpents bargain for the right to squirm," an Elizabethan sonnet that satirizes society's blind adherence to decorum and regulation. Here, Cummings demotes man from being a monster, a word that at least implies animalistic qualities, to being an unnatural unanimal. When such legalese as bargaining, striking, and signing on the dotted line is applied to creatures and events of nature, the effects are preposterous, and yet society accepts such irreverent behavior in man, once a natural creature. Despite the child-like language and nonsense comparisons in the poem that add a touch of innocence to the poem, Cummings? message is clear: nature is being ?separated from its most essential qualities?, left to exist ?simultaneously with his horror of a society seriously awry? (Marks 60)."

E-Commerce and E-Business in the 21st Century, 2006.

Abstract
This document discusses the underlying principles of e-commerce and e-business. It examines such e-commerce functionalities as customer relationship management applications as a way to illustrate how effective e-commerce and e-business principles can be across all industries. Additionally, the paper utilizes three radically different businesses to illustrate how e-business and e-commerce has elevated business performance measures: Office Depot, Ford Motor Company, and Amazon.com.
From the Paper
"Corporations the world over have utilized e-business or some aspect of electronic commerce (e-commerce) to either act as their sole business model or to enhance the productive performance in some way of their existing traditional business models. E-commerce might be considered as a type of business transaction where the parties to the transaction conduct their commerce electronically where electronically has come to be considered the Internet (Epstein, 2004). Yet, technically speaking e-commerce could just as well be considered to be transacted by phone, fax, or other electronic form of media. Such definitions evade the true essence of electronic commerce, which in practice has become one of those rare cases where changing needs and new technologies have come together to revolutionize the way in which business is conducted over an entirely new medium; commonly termed the Internet."

"The increase of communications and its convenience provides much scope for dataveillance. The monitoring and storing of personal data may breach the privacy rights of individuals. However the combining of surveillance sources such as CCTV, bank records, and location tracking using mobile telephone signals bring surveillance to a new level. By pooling together all information sources, information gathered on an individual is so personal and provides such a three-dimensional picture into one?s life and habits."

Table of Contents:
Oracle Overview
Peoplesoft Overview (pre Oracle)
Industry Background
Situational Overview
Merger Benefits & Market Perception
Financing Structure of the Takeover
Bid Tactics of Oracle
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The financing structure of the Oracle takeover bid for PeopleSoft was, on the surface, initially a cash offer because Oracle had such a large pool of cash reserves at the time. The final offer for PeopleSoft was for $26.50 per share which placed PeopleSoft at a market value at the time of $10.3b. This final price that Oracle is paying for PeopleSoft is $2.50 per share more than Oracle's previous final offer which Oracle accomplished through cash and stock offerings for existing PeopleSoft shares tendered by December 10, 2004 in which 120,600,093 shares had been tendered and, according to Oracle, not withdrawn which completed the final acquisition. While most analysts agree that Oracle overpaid for PeopleSoft the benefits and market advantages that the company gained by acquiring PeopleSoft has paid dividends in the mid term because of the new customers the company has acquired as well as the host of other acquisitions that Oracle has undertaken since its PeopleSoft hostile takeover."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Oracle at Delphi was one of the most important oracles in Greek culture because, not only did the Oracle evaluate most of the important actions by Greeks and their governments, but also the temple and its grounds served as a location for festivals, games and many other cultural events. The author points out that the Oracle at Delphi supported Apollo, one of the most important and powerful Greek gods, which attracted worshipers and consultants from all over the world. The paper related that the Oracle, who commented on battles, political decisions, governmental laws and social issues, had more influence than many of the most important rulers of the time.
From the Paper
"Apollo's sphere of influence of the Greeks is legendary and well documented. According to Burkert, Apollo's sphere of influence included prophesizing or divination. Zeus clearly differentiated between Apollo and Dionysus, his other son, giving Dionysus reign over the erotic, or initiation spheres, effectively separating their duties and responsibilities, while he watched over both equally. In addition, Apollo's worshipers stretched from Sicily throughout the sphere of Greek influence, and more than one city or town was named for the god. In fact, there is at least some evidence that Apollo ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Oracle Systems Corporation that was one of the most successful software companies in the world until 1990. The paper explains how the Oracle case study is a prime example of how a corporation can perform well on paper for a number of years only to suddenly shock shareholders, customers and investors. The paper explores the underlying causes of Oracle's loss in both revenues and market share. The paper concludes that unless Oracle invests more money into technology advancement and software engineering, consumers will remain disenchanted with what was once the industry giant. There must be a change of sales tactics, management strategies, and an improved product quality or its stock price may continue to decline.
From the Paper
"Oracle Systems Corporation was founded by Lawrence J. Ellison in 1979 "to commercialize an innovative database management system," (p. 74). Throughout the 1980s, Oracle was the "fastest growing software company in the world" and clearly enjoyed a position at the top of the database management systems (DBMS) industry (p. 75). The company went public in March of 1986 with a stock issue price of $2.00 per share. By 1990, only four years later, Oracle's share price peaked at $28.375. Oracle's pre-1990 fiscal health was due to several factors, including an aggressive sales policy, diversification strategies, and international expansion and growth. Between the years 1980 to 1989, Oracle had "more than doubled its sales every year," (p. 75). However, in March of 1990, just when Oracle's stocks peaked in price, the company suddenly reported zero-growth and flat earnings revenue. The March 1990 announcement sent shock waves through the stock market and on September 25 of that year, Oracle announced its first ever quarterly loss. The previous year, Oracle had reported $11.7 million in earnings; in September of 1990, Ellison admitted a $36 million quarterly loss. Because the decline in share price revealed deeper conflicts within the corporation including management issues, Oracle was not financially healthy in September of 1990."

Oracle Bones and Traditional China, 2004.
This paper discusses the role of oracle bones, the earliest form of Chinese writing, as an important source for understanding the development of written Chinese and the Shang society.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the religion of the Shang civilization, which was based on the worship of ancestral spirits and Shang Di, the supreme God, important decisions were made in the ancestral temple through divination by the oracle bones. The author points out that oracle bones also were used to record astronomical events. The paper states that the character 'yue' appears quite often in the oracle bone inscriptions as a pictograph of one range of mountains above another and is the object of sacrifices.
From the Paper
"The exact political status of the Huanbei Shang City is unknown, however, the walled city is probably one of the Shang capitals due to its huge size and geographic location. From traditional accounts, it was believed that the 19th king, Pan Geng, moved the capital to Yin, however, the oracle bone inscriptions from Yinxu only details the period from the reign of the 22nd king, Wu Ding to the 30th and last king of the Shang dynasty, Xin. Therefore, Yinxu probably did not become the capital until the reign of Wu Ding and Huanbei most likely was the capital of Pan Geng and the two succeeding kings. Moreover, inscribed oracle bones discovered in the area have enabled researchers to reconstruct the Shang royal genealogy. For nearly a century now, scholars have been reading the oracle bones to detail Chinese history."

"Eight years later, in about 1987, Steve Cully came to Ellison with a proposal to put Oracle software into him M-cubed machine. At first, he didn't even believe that the machine could exist. The specs just didn't add up. Then after much questioning, he saw that it indeed was possible, and a year later made the decision to move his software into massively parallel computers. Oracle has been the only company since whose software is compatible on both conventional computers and massively parallel computers."
