From the Paper
"The history of Sun Microsystems? operations strategy can be seen from its first years when Andreas Bechtolsheim, William Joy, Vinod Khosla, and Scott McNealy founded Sun Microsystems, Inc., in 1982 for the purpose of selling low-cost, high-performance desktop computers running the UNIX operating system. These computer workstations found immediate acceptance among engineers, software developers, and scientists who benefited from having dedicated machines, rather than sharing more expensive minicomputers or mainframe computer systems (www.java.sun.com). Unlike its Fortune 500 competitors, Sun Microsystems did not have revenue from other sources to fund development of its computer workstations. This meant that the company needed hundreds of millions of dollars in start-up investments, as well as large purchase agreements, to develop a hardware manufacturing infrastructure and to attract top-flight hardware and software engineers. In 1983 the company signed a multimillion-dollar original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with Computervision Corporation, a designer of computer-aided design and engineering programs. This was the first of many large OEMs for which Sun built computers that sold the workstations under their own labels (Jackson, 1998, p. 119)."

From the Paper
"Whenever we try to understand the possible responses of an organisation to the application of a management system to the organisation, one has to first study the organisation and its historic culture. In the case of Sun Microsystems the first step that we will take is the study of its top manager currently. The new head of UL operation is Trudy Norris-Grey and in the earlier assignment, was a Vice-President at Oracle UK. This is due to Leslie Stretch being promoted to handle an international role at the head office. It is well known that UK has been one of the most successful regions for Sun Microsystems at the time when the company was suffering due to the difficult years. Previously the organisation was best known for Sparc servers and Solaris operating system, and Sparc had been developed by the company. Now it is promoting x86 based systems and also a stress on the development of the Java development environment. It is also trying to become important in grid computing and open source software. The company had not been viewed as a strong company as it had earlier grown in the dot com age and lost money later. When the dot com period ended, the company had a lot of expensive equipment lying around. The new manager has been an accountant and according to her the company has performed well after the dot com years. (Trudy Norris-Grey, Sun Microsystems UK managing director)"

"Introduction
An analysis of a company for purposes of investment or employment should include a number of the same dimensions. A company that would make a good investment is a sound company, one where the employee is likely to find a job continuing for some time. A company that is a good place to work may be a good investment because it retains a strong and satisfied workforce. A comparison of two companies--Pitney Bowes and Sun Microsystems, Inc.--will show how they satisfy those who would invest or those who would seek an entry level management position.
PITNEY BOWES
Pitney Bowes is based in Stamford, Connecticut and manufactures and markets business equipment and services. The company is a world leader in the mailing systems market, with..."

Jini, 2004.
An examination of the software known as Jini, issued by Sun Microsystems, and the impact it could have on the market.

Abstract
This paper examines how Jini is software from Sun Microsystems that seeks to simplify the connection and sharing of devices, such as printers and disk drives, on a network. It explains and discusses it by looking at its advantages and disadvantages. It concludes that, because Jini has the potential to make operating systems incidental to the power of networks, some view Jini as having the potential to reduce the influence of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
From the Paper
"When a device is plugged into the Jini network, it is immediately registered by the Directory Service layer as a member of the network. Its required program objects are placed in a JavaSpace layer so that other network members can discover and download them when that network member needs the device. The communication with objects in JavaSpace is done using the Remote Method Invocation interface and layer. Finally, the layer supporting the discovery protocol enables devices, users, and applications to announce and register themselves and to discover others."

Abstract
The writer of this paper details how the necessity of strategy has made Sun Tsu and Machiavelli extremely popular subjects in business classes around the country. This paper examines the principles and strategic views of both Sun Tsu and Machiavelli while discussing their relevance in today's business world. This paper explores the various reasons both Machiavelli and Sun Tsu have been criticized for their ruthlessness. The writer delves into the issue of ethics and morality as a tactical strategy as detailed in Machiavelli's "The Prince" which is often read as a purely strategic text. The writer contends and explains why business is war and that the tactics of warfare and diplomacy make good business. This paper details the five governing factors that must be taken into account in both warfare and business as dictated in Sun Tsu's "The Art of War." This paper analyzes how the Coca Cola Corporation successfully applied Sun Tsu's "Stratagem of Sowing Discord" in a campaign to outsell Pepsi Corp.
From the Paper
"This stress on morality as well as tactical strategy may seem antithetical to Machiavelli's advice to The Prince, which is often read as a purely strategic text. But both leaders counsel not higher aims, but what is tactically practical, and having a rallying cause is necessary to inspire the troops, ad well as to know one's enemy. Both leaders also give advice as to how to win over different nations, and stress the need to stay in power, as well as to purely acquire power. And Machiavelli notes, it "cannot be called talent to slay fellow-citizens, to deceive friends, to be without faith, without mercy, without religion; such methods may gain empire," in the short run, "but not glory," and long-lasting security for the ruler."

Nikita Mikhalkov?s film, "Burnt by the Sun", 2003.

Abstract
The essay discusses Nikita Mikhalkov's "Burnt by the Sun" and argues that "the sun of the revolution" of 1917 burnt everyone in some way, either ending or tragically altering their lives. Along with victimhood and persecution, the paper also addresses the motif of Stalin's omnipresence, which permeates the film.
From the Paper
"On November 7th, 1917 the Bolshevik Revolution took place in Russia, displacing the provisional government and putting Vladimir Lenin at the helm of the newly formed communist state. The years that followed saw the country torn apart by a brutal civil war that left no village untouched and no family unmarked. Then came the collectivization campaign, dekulakization, purges of the military and the accumulation of the slave work force in the labor camps. Some twenty years after Red soldiers and sailors secured the Winter Palace and the Bolsheviks seized power, millions of Russians were dead, imprisoned or exiled. However everyone, without exception was in some way burnt by the sun of the Revolution. Nikita Mikhalkov?s film ?Burnt By The Sun? (1994) is a stirring account of one family?s tragic downfall in the purges of the 1930s. Mikhalkov, one of Russia?s most prolific filmmakers, illustrates that no matter what side of the repressions one ended up, he was interminably a sufferer, whether on behalf of the system or a more direct casualty of it. While the director is careful not to argue for moral equivalence between the characters, there is nonetheless an unmistakable theme of widespread persecution under the cult of Stalin that permeates every aspect of life."

Sun Yat Sen and the Reorganization of the Kuomintang, 2006.
An analysis of the reasons for Sun Yat Sen's alliance with Soviet and Chinese communists, arguing that the alliance was not simply a matter of expediency.

Abstract
Sun Yat Sen's alliance with Soviet and Chinese communists has been attributed by many Western historians to factors such as expediency, but careful study of this period of Chinese history, combined with deeper insights into his character and personality, indicate that his motivations were much more complex. This paper asserts that Sun Yat Sen's activities involving the reorganization of the Kuomintang cannot be explained or understood by attributing them to simple expediency. Rather, the paper argues, that Sun Yat Sen was navigating very deep political and social waters at this time, and set his course in accordance with his belief in China's destiny and his belief in himself as the man who could lead his country to that destiny.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the film, "A Place in the Sun," directed by George Stevens. Specifically, it discusses George's character development in the film. "A Place in the Sun" is the story of George Eastman, a lower-class man with high ideals. He wants to be rich and successful, and the film follows his rise and eventual downfall from what he aspires to. It looks at how, outwardly, George changes tremendously during the film, since he goes from "rags to riches" and learns how the upper classes live. He becomes one of them. However, it also shows how, inside, George does not change much at all. He is selfish and self-serving, lonely, and determined to better himself throughout the film, and he allows his heart to rule over his head and common sense.
From the Paper
"As George begins to socialize with the Eastmans, he becomes surer of himself, and when he is promoted this also helps him feel better about himself. He begins to leave Alice and her world behind, but he is not adult enough to tell her. This is another way George does not change throughout the film. He wants to be successful and make a good life for himself, but he is not adult enough to cope with the many changes in his life. He takes up with Alice by chance, even when he knows it is forbidden. He cannot say "no," and in this, he is very childish. His decision to not tell Alice he is in love with Angela is also childish, and his idea to kill Alice to rectify the situation is childish, too."

Abstract
This paper reviews the play 'A Raisin in the Sun', by Lorraine Hansberry. According to the paper, 'A Raisin in the Sun' is about the dreams that people have. More specifically, it is about the dreams of people who do not have the opportunity to pursue those dreams. The paper reports how the main theme of the play is deciding what to do with a large sum of money that is won by one of the characters.
From the Paper
"He then describes the life his son will have. This description is partly about material possessions like their house with a gardener and a black Chrysler. However, Walter also describes how his son will be able to go to any school that he wants to and that his son will be able to be anything that he wants to be. As Walter says, "Just tell me, what it is you want to be--and you'll be it" (Hansberry 94). This shows that Walter's dream is linked to his desire for his son to be proud of him and for his son to have opportunities in life. Mama's dream is not to change as much as the others. Instead, she just wants her family to live in a safe neighborhood and have a home they can be proud of. The interesting thing about all of these dreams is that they are all worthwhile. All three of the characters have valuable uses for the money and want to use it to better their own futures. "
