Abstract
According to Julie Des Jardins in her book, "Women and the Historical Enterprise", over the course of the evolution of American historiography, American men by and large have provided the cultural and ideological narrative lens of focus-a focus upon males, upon whites, and upon actions and stories that American men have deemed important. This paper enlarges on Des Jardin's idea and shows how it is expressed in her book.
From the Paper
"By recording such oral folklore, Hurston did not simply give dignity to her people, and garner a greater respect for African-American culture in America. She also introduced new idea to American historiography about what was considered a valid way of accessing the history of the past. She brought many of the techniques of anthropology to historical study and record. Hurston stressed that history was not simply what could be 'written,' history could also be found in the voices of ordinary men and women."

Abstract
This paper discusses the minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise (MWDBE) in the State of North Carolina, which is focused on by the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) office. The paper describes the goal for the state in terms of MWDBE and the objectives of the policy. The paper then looks at the pros of the public policy related to minority, women and disadvantaged businesses and how the policy can be successfully implemented.
From the Paper
"This can be accomplished through dedicated workers that strive to achieve organizational goals and that have the training and skills to ensure that the public policy is beneficial to all stakeholders in Charlotte. The Partnership for Public Service of the United States believes that this is possible when the right people are recruited, who believe that the issues associated with the community are essential to the well being of all people ("Welcome", n.d.). Yet, in order to attract the right people to accomplish this task the organization must be capable of providing a working environment that supports the desire to successfully serve the public."

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."

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)."

ERP Solutions for Small to Medium Enterprise (SMEs), 2006.
A study of the use of ERP (enterprise resource planning) solutions in SMEs (small and medium enterprises).
3,847 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 19 sources, MLA, $ 105.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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)."

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."

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."

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."

Historical Detection, 2006.
An analysis of the application of historical detection to the Salem Witch Trials.

Abstract
This paper studies historical detection, the use of modern technology and advanced psychological techniques to shed additional light on historical occurrences. Based on the book "After the Fact: the Art of Historical Detection" by J.W. Davidson and M.H. Lytle, the paper applies modern psychology and medicine to the examination of the witchcraft scare in the late seventeenth century in New England.
From the Paper
"Later, social historians studied the everyday activities and commerce of the villagers in the area, using records indicating land ownership and places of residence. They found that at the time, some of the inhabitants of the original Old Town Salem had moved to outlying areas and were setting up another village, incurring the animosities of their neighbors. This explanation is dramatically confirmed when a map is used showing the location of the various persons known to have been involved in the cases: the accusers, the defenders and the accused. It was revealed that those accused of being witches and those who accused them lived on opposite ends of the town. Those who defended the accused lived closest to them, and can be presumed to be friends and neighbors. A study of the politics of the region confirms further that financial interests of the villagers were affected by the efforts of some to move out of the village and begin a settlement of their own. These historians believe that this could explain the intensity of the feelings of animosity that culminated in death for some of the accused witches. In the case of the activities of Salem, a contemporary study of historical documents viewed from a perspective of modern education in the fields of medicine, socio-political dynamics and religious studies has uncovered the answer to a question that has puzzled historians for more than two centuries."

Historical Fiction in Film: Quo Vadis, 2001.
Examines the background and historical accuracy of the legendary Hollywood movie "Quo Vadis".

Abstract
This essay examines historical fiction as seen in the famous Hollywoood movie Quo Vadis. The successes and failures of the film in accurately portraying Roman history and the struggle between early Christianity and Roman society are analyzed. Through a look at real historical sources, we can see that for the most part the film is an entertaining but flawed example of the retelling of a historical event and the personalities of that time. For example, the film leads viewers to believe that this period of history was the climax of the conflict between imperial Rome and early Christianity, but in fact Nero was no worse for the Christians than many other emperors before and after his reign.
From the Paper
"The characters of Marcus Vinicius and Lygia in the film are symbolic of the rift between imperial Rome and the early Christians, however, they are fictional characters and did not exist in ancient Rome. Galba was in fact the real leader who replaced Nero (he does in the film as well), but he was a seventy-year old man who only ruled for about six months before he was executed by rivals in the forum and replaced by Otho."

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
The paper presents a critical analysis of Blount's and Varthema's travel literature, questioning why, in light of their historically questionable content, they can be considered valid historical texts.
Outline
Background
Analysis of Ludovico di Varthema's "Itinerary"
Analysis of Sir Henry Blount's "A Voyage into the Levant"
Historical Significance of Both Texts and Their Purposes
From the Paper
"Blount seeks a more academic understanding of the "Ottoman lands." Although prejudiced in the sense that it is judged and understood from the perspective of the "other," it does provide a simple framework for understanding or defining Muslims. He begins by stating this established rule: "the most important parts of all States are four: arms, religion, justice and moral customs," and explains the presence and nature of each among Muslims and in Muslims lands (Blount 177). Certainly, di Varthema does include in his descriptions accounts of the morals, law, religion and defense but, they cannot be taken as serious representation of the truth because they are so exaggerated."

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."
