...Department of Regional Development Dear Ms A Person The Business Edge Program at ECU aids in the development of employability skills to prepare graduates for entering the workplace upon completion of their degree. The skills developed are an advantage to been successful in our careers but also teach us the skills to deal with the situations we face in our everyday lives. This is a first of its kind with ECU the first university to teach this in a specially designed program which has been incorporated into the Bachelor of Business Degree. As the current economy is very tight so too is employment making it very hard for graduates who have just finished their degree to enter into the workforce as they are lacking employability skills which many employers list as essential.

...University Case Study #1 There has been a definite transition in the pizza delivery business, with massive pizza chains vying for the most innovate way to create and sell their product. Even though this case may be a few years dated, one can still observe these innovations occurring in the present. Through intricate and efficient information systems, these innovations can be a viable and a creative way to get the customers what they want; however, in a different more unique fashion that can appeal to a wide and young demographic. Where one business lacks in quality compared to the other chains, the business can make up for it with innovative strategies for the customer to create the product they want. This in a sense almost gives the company, like Domino’s, a competitive edge when their quality doesn’t match competitors’. Utilization of systems like Pulse, a proprietary point-of-sale system, is an important asset in maintaining consistent and efficient management functions in each of its franchises (Laudon & Laudon, 2012). There are various types of information systems utilized within Domino’s strategy to gain a valid entry in the pizza chain market. One of these systems implemented is the transaction processing system or (TPS), which is utilized within their Pulse network. The transaction processing system serves to perform and record the daily routine transactions necessary to conduct business, such as sales order entry, hotel reservations, payroll, employee record keeping...

...DEFINITION OF MYOB (Mind Your Own Business) MYOB was founded in the late 1980s by Christopher Lee and a team of developers at Teleware, Inc., who developed accounting software. Teleware was purchased by Best Software, Inc. (now part of Sage) in 1993. Data-Tech Software was the Australia republished of the MYOB products and, in 1997 entered into an agreement with Best Software to buy the company (renamed MYOB, Inc.) and bought the intellectual property rights to the software. In 1999, Data-Tech changed their name to MYOB Limited and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) on 9 July 1999. In subsequent corporate development, MYOB Limited merged with Solution 6 Holdings in 2004. Though the company was originally founded in the US, it ceased operations outside of Australia in 2008. On 6 December 2008, Acclivity announced it acquired MYOB US Inc. and its Mac (and PC) development team from MYOB Limited of Australia. Acclivity will now drive global development of MYOB's Mac OS business management products – Account Edge Basic, Account Edge Pro and Account Edge Pro Network Edition. In January 2009, a private equity consortium led by Archer Capital completed a takeover bid for MYOB, returning MYOB to private ownership. On 21 August 2011, Archer Capital sold MYOB to Bain Capital for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition gives Bain Capital a majority stake in MYOB alongside management who will continue to be shareholders in the company. MYOB now has a suite of subscription-based...

...October 6, 2013 The greatest people in business have certain attributes in common. Several personal qualities are important, like a thirst for continuous education, personal drive and motivation, strong goals and ambition, clear vision, and always a great deal of passion. Beyond those personal qualities though, what makes a successful business person stand out from the crowd? (Business School Edge, 2013) I have listed four categories that headline top skill sets. * Communication * Planning * Productivity * Creativity The most important of these is communications and I want my fellow students to know that professionalism can make you a winner in any circumstance. Your professionalism can win you contracts, and your communication skills add to the complete package. Take time to proofread all emails prior to sending; use a business email address with a proper signature; answer the phone professionally; and speak articulately and competently at all times. (Noupe, 2013) Just to provide my classmates with a recent example, recently I was offered a seasonal job as a coordinator and the main feedback from my subordinates was of how I presented myself more professionally than others. If you can communicate professionally in all types’ communication whether it is verbal or written, you will gain respect and develop the necessary skills sets that guarantee success.

Numerous white papers are circulating on the Internet highlighting the business case supporting the IoE initiative. For instance, in a white paper conducted by Cisco Inc. on the Value Index of IoE in 2013 reported the following: In February 2013, Cisco released a study predicting that $14.4 trillion of value (net profit) will be at stake globally over the next decade, driven by connecting the unconnected –people-to-people (P2P), machine-to-people (M2P), and machine-to-machine (M2M) - via the Internet of Everything (IoE).

...unauthorized parties. The trespass to chattels law cannot be correctly applied to internet-related property rights because this law is being incorrectly used and does not adequately address the concerns of internet property owners and the rights they seek to protect. The 19th Century trespass to chattels tort is being utilized in cyberspace to protect systems against unauthorized use in the same way it is used to protect tangible/physical property. This law was first used by internet service providers (ISPs) to fight against unsolicited bulk email or spam, which was being sent in excess over their networks and systems. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the blanket application of this law to the internet has an adverse impact on the key function of the internet. Trespass to chattelslaw is now commonly used to fight against Robots (BOTs), which are automated programs that search the Internet. In many cases such as eBay v. Bidder’s edge, and Ticketmaster Corp. v. Tickets.com, this law was used to fight the ability of users to search the internet and of providers to present data to users. This ability to search and present data is the primary purpose of the internet, and the overbroad application of trespass to chattels law, without any form of modification or alteration, should not be used to protect internet property rights. Tresspass to Chattels is defined as the act of direct physical interference with chattel owned by someone else without lawful justification. To...
