Abstract
This paper critiques the three basic enquiry methods, described in the paper, which are the simple mode, including inductive consensual and analytic-deductive methods, the complex mode, including the multiple realities method, and the innovative mode, including the unbounded systems thinking (UST) method. The author points out that the rationale behind the PEST analysis is that there must be a fit between the capabilities of the company and the external environment if the company is to survive. The paper uses HP company as the example for analysis and the project of the future.

From the Paper
"By concentrating on the three major business and aligning them with the IS strategy, HP ensures that the needs and requirements of growing technological trends will be met. In addition to the technology factors, the social factors in terms of lay-offs will have to be considered since human resources are always an important factor in IS strategy and design. Further, acquisition of other companies or technology entities to feel the IS niche is a viable option to safeguard their status as a technology leader."

Abstract
This paper examines how no one industry has been impacted by the global economic recession, terrorism, war, and SARS, more than airlines; getting passengers to fly is the most challenging part of the current airline industry woes. It discusses United Airlines?s customer service delivery strategy, which is designed to win new business and to keep existing customers content.
From the Paper
"Leisure travels are also looking for the best deals and many are willing to forgo customer service for economic savings. Thus, United Airlines has had to focus on identifying which cuts in customer service would be acceptable to its customers. United Airlines has lowered its fares and compensated for the profit margin reduction by cutting back on special frills such as meal service on short flights and special meals to obtain the lowest possible fare. To achieve further cost reductions, United Airlines will stop issuing paper tickets within the United States by July 2003, and plans to issue only electronic tickets for all eligible itineraries, domestically and internationally by January 2004."

Abstract
This paper serves as an introduction to the concepts of international strategy and organizational design. This paper highlights the fact that achieving a global strategy has never been as easy given the aid offered by Information Technology and the Internet and World Wide Web, a fact which also helps determine what the structure of the organization should be.
From the Paper
"Companies need to take a global strategy today in order to be competitive, and at the same time, achieving a global strategy has never been as easy given the aid offered by Information Technology and the Internet and World Wide Web. The rise of the Internet and the World Wide Web has made it possible for even small firms to undertake a global strategy without committing huge resources to individual countries. Those companies with goods that can be sold online can do so without having to create sales offices in each country and instead can place their goods online, take orders from anywhere, then ship the goods directly to the consumer. This opportunity is a major change from the only ways open in the past, methods much more expensive, labor-intensive, and complex."

Failure as a Marketing Strategy, 2008.
A discussion of the value of work carried out by designers in today's economic system.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the relative value of design and of designers within the current economic system. Author Nussbaum, author of "Are Designers the Enemy of Design?", is cited as arguing that designers are responsible for much of the world's excess waste and consumption because of a constant quest for product or service revision.
From the Paper
"Design is an innovative process that has quickened with the pace of technology. However, it is arguable if design has been responsible for the seemingly more rapid pace of consumerism over the past several decades as Nussbaum might suggest or if it is merely the vehicle for the competitive entities that must operate within a free market.
"Design and redesign of designs is now commonplace. Where once design configuration might have meant raw survival, it now only means seasonality as in fashion. Nussbaum hits near the mark when he says that design "with a capital D" has occupied itself almost solely with fashion, graphics, products, and similar transient objects which require constant revision in order to stay relevant (2007, para.7). What he seems to be implying is that designers have typically occupied themselves with subjects that have little meaning or any sort of real and lasting impact on society."

An E-business Strategy, 2005.
Examines the influences on the organizational and operational structures of a business.
990 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Few would disagree that e-business is transforming the ways firms do business. E-business challenges long-accepted business models by changing the nature of the work done in the organization. This paper shows that new information technologies (ITs) allow companies to design, develop and deploy innovative ways of implementing business practices and streamlining organizational processes. Additionally, information technologies allow for new organizational forms. As a result, companies must now decide the best ways to join their business and IT strategies - leading to changes in their organizational and operational structures.
From the Paper
"E-business takes place via multiple model variations. The most commonly used form is business-to-consumer (B2C). In this model, companies do business directly with consumers using Internet technologies to conduct the transaction. One of the most popular B2C models is that of Amazon.com which has grown from an online book retailer to a digital storefront that sells everything from table saws to yoga mats. The fastest growing model is the business-to-business (B2B) form in which companies do business with each other. A third model is that of consumer-to-consumer (C2C) in which the online business acts as a middleman in providing the interface for transactions between consumers. An example of a C2C model is Half.com in which consumers can sell used books with other consumers. Half.com then takes a commission on each book sold."

Starbucks and the Guatemalan Coffee Question, 2005.
A public relations strategy designed to counteract negative publicity following the use of Guatemalan coffee at Starbucks.
2,502 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Starbucks is combating an increasingly negative image, which neither its campaign for social responsibility nor its highly publicized charity and philanthropic activities have been able to negate. It explains that the negative image did not emerge from activities or strategies directly associated with the corporation, but with conditions plaguing Guatemalan coffee farmers.
From the Paper
"In early 1995, the U.S Guatemala Labor Education Project, a human rights group based in Chicago, reported that Starbucks' Central American suppliers were underpaying workers. Wages on the farms were about 33 cents per hour. Although, Starbucks does not own the plantations, UGLEP has threatened public protests unless the company uses its leverage to improve conditions (Simons 44). In October 1995, Starbucks drew up a code of conduct for the farms, but a year and a half later, "the conditions are still rotten, " says Rhett Doumitt, a UGLEP staffer based in Guatemala. Starbucks says that it commissioned a study of the Guatemalan farms to test the feasibility of enforcing standards (Simons 44). To date, it has done little to actively improve conditions despite claims of trying."

From the Paper
"Reward and incentive programs are a popular component of employee benefit packages. Many employees value such offerings as flexible scheduling, tuition assistance, and child care in order to satisfy personal needs and professional development. In today?s society, it is becoming increasingly common to align these reward systems with the overall business strategy of an organization in order to satisfy business needs and to improve shareholder value. In addition, many organizations are developing or restructuring their rewards programs based on employee performance. This trend is likely to continue as costs continue to increase and competition continues to thrive in a highly volatile economy."

Graphic Design and Technology, 2006.
A review of the history of graphic design and graphic design technology.
2,475 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 4 sources, $ 97.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers how graphic design was much influenced by technological developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and continues to be influenced by new developments in technology, with computer-aided graphic design being a current example. The paper further discusses how graphic design came into its own as a separate discipline in the late nineteenth century, though the art of arranging text and image to convey a message is much older in practice. Graphic design as a discipline came with the development of various technological shifts allowing for such arrangements on a mass scale through the arts of photography, printing, and widespread dissemination.
