...A successful IT system is something that is composed of several different functional components to make it a whole. It takes each component to efficiently work so that the entire system runs smoothly. When one or more parts of the system are not properly working it can affect the entire IT system as a whole and render it completely vulnerable to people with malicious intentions. In this paper I will discuss the role of each component in it and shed some light as to why each is needed. First let us take a look at computer programming. This element takes on different program designs created by engineers and uses one of several different programming languages to write executable code that computers can read. Programming is the source for the foundation and continuing function of the systems that countless people depend upon for all kinds of information exchange in both commerce and leisure. For example all of the software that I used to write this paper a programmer had to create some code to tell the computer how to read in my key strokes, how to display them on the screen, and how to compute the binary code for each letter. The beauty of programming is that you do not always have to invent the wheel. You can utilize code that is already in use and modify it to work the way a company will need it to. The programmer will also maintain the program during its use by the company. This is why you need a computer programmer ensuring that you have a smooth running IT system. ...

...good or even bad company to a great company. I would like to share some feelings about this book with you in the following paragraphs. To start with, when talking about becoming great, there are seven pivotal steps that we must do. Firstly, we need to find the 5 level leadership. Secondly, finding the proper staff is more important than doing the proper things. Thirdly, confronting the brutal reality is also a necessity for being great. Fourthly, we should insisting on hedgehog concept throughout the process. Fifthly, we need to share a culture of discipline in the whole company. Sixthly, using technology as an accelerator when necessary. Seventhly, putting all these disciplines into practical management cyclically then we will make a difference and become great. As to the first step, finding the 5 level leadership, I think this is the key to the whole process. The core of 5 level leadership is to lead the company to gain sustaining development. A 5 level leadership can gain brilliant achievements in his or her duration and also can help construct a system to gain consisting achievements after his or her duration, this is the difference between a 4 level leadership and a 5 level leadership. Therefore, I think putting this discipline to priority is quite reasonable, since the company can do nothing without the prospective leadership. But how can the company find the 5 level leadership. Just as the writer said, the 5 level leadership is a mixture of humble and ambitious...

...gruffness. Lafley was more soothing and built his personality around persuading others to buy into his image. He didn’t try to force himself onto the employees, but reassured them that they still had values. Lafley knew that he had to put himself onto the ground level and get people to agree with him on the images that the company needed. He ingeniously did this by sending out memos stressing the core values of P&G and what it stood for. He stressed that the emphasis of P&G was still “ to improve the everyday lives of people around the world with P&G brands and products that deliver better performance, quality, and value. The value system-integrity, trust, ownership, leadership, and a passion for winning: not going to change. The six guiding principles, respect for the individual, all not going to change.” Once he had the people around him accepting him, he began to incorporate his vision. He made it known that his view of “any business doesn’t have a strategy is going to develop one: any business that has a strategy is either going to change it, or improve its execution” was going to be the core foundation of his vision. Lafley understood that the only way for P&G to rebuild itself and keep competitive in the 21st century was to be new and innovative. They had to constantly be striving for the future and not be glued down to the past. He made it known that his view of “any business doesn’t have a strategy is going to develop one: any business that has a...

...An elevator pitch is a brief overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The pitch is so called because it can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (say, thirty seconds). When I was first asked to write an elevator pitch, the first thing that came to my mind was, Why is an elevator pitch so important? I’m bootstrapping my business – I don’t need any funding so why should I even care about an elevator pitch? Well, I later came to find out that the process of formulating an elevator pitch brings to light many basic things that an entrepreneur must consider about their business. Even if you’re not looking for funding, an elevator pitch can help you figure out what’s at the core of your business. There are numerous ways to formulate an elevator pitch; one thorough and useful method is K. Stone’s How to Craft a Killer Elevator Pitch That Will Land You Big Business. Yet as I mentioned before, many methods exist so search for one that makes the most sense to you. I found the following tips to be useful when I wrote my 30 second elevator pitch: First, avoid the cookie cutter – “insert your name here” templates that you’ll find littered all over the net. You want your pitch to stand out and be unique, so give it life and personality by allowing your pitch to paint a picture or tell a story. If possible, use a tag line yet avoid sounding cheesy – your elevator pitch isn’t a sales pitch. Stick to hard facts and numbers! Avoid assumption or BS’ing; you’ve got...

...What are the core competencies and end products of IKEA? How are they linked with each other? IKEA is capable to design its products in-house; therefore they can reduce their costs because outsourcing their product designing is much cheaper. Despite that they’re designing its product itself, people find it still attractive enough to buy IKEA’s products. Also their furniture and packaging is designed in such a way that it’s easily transportable (‘flat packaging’1) for both customer and IKEA. The assemble-it-yourself furniture, together with the flat packages, reduced space requirements in logistic operations, which lowered the costs either.2 To maintain their low-cost strategy they have to manage an international low-cost supplier network. By 2004, IKEA’s network of international low-cost suppliers had grown to the point where it had 43 trading service offices in 33 countries.3 By well thought allocation of their warehouses and stores they managed to reduce costs even further. So we can conclude IKEA is capable of sustaining its low costs, by managing, establish and designing its supplier network in such a way that IKEA achieves lowest costs in logistics. Even though they’re capable to establish a low-cost supplier network, IKEA is also capable of designing its furniture in such a way that it “fits the IKEA concept of form, function and price”4, “for example the OGLA chair which initially was made of wood but eventually is made out of hollow...

The Market Analysis report put forth by Brannigan’s Analyst in 2012 highlights the United States trends in soup consumption and sales. The analysis provides no real customer feedback however, it does report extensive sales data for Brannigan as well as the industry. Brannigan has core customers and core products (Ready to Eat (RTE) soups both wet and dry) that have supported their research, development and new growth opportunities for many years. These core products are reported to contribute 86% of the current profits to the division. Brannigan reports declines in sales of 1-2% per year. Despite the decrease in the sales of their core products Brannigan was able to maintain the profitability by increasing the cost to the customer.
