Social entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship is a topic of interest to academics, business people, and governments around the world. The dynamism and vitality of entrepreneurship research is reflected in the flow of new ideas and themes in the entrepreneurship literature. For many, mainstream entrepreneurship is inextricably bound with the creation of new technology firms, however, this is only part of a wide and varied terrain.

...Article Essential Layers, Artifacts, and Dependencies of Enterprise Architecture By Robert Winter and Ronny Fischer Abstract After a period where implementation speed was more important than integration, consistency and reduction of complexity, architectural considerations have become a key issue of information management in recent years again. Enterprise architecture is widely accepted as an essential mechanism for ensuring agility and consistency, compliance and efficiency. Although standards like TOGAF and FEAF have developed, however, there is no common agreement on which architecture layers, which artifact types and which dependencies constitute the essence of enterprise architecture. This paper contributes to the identification of essential elements of enterprise architecture by (1) specifying enterprise architecture as a hierarchical, multilevel system comprising aggregation hierarchies, architecture layers and views, (2) discussing enterprise architecture frameworks with regard to essential elements, (3) proposing interfacing requirements of enterprise architecture with other architecture models and (4) matching these findings with current enterprise architecture practice in several large companies. Keywords enterprise architecture, architectural components, architectural layers, architectural views, interfaces ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE: DEFINITION According to ANSI/IEEE Std 1471-2000, architecture is defined as the “ fundamental organization of a system, embodied in...

...Lincoln Electric, a company started over a century ago by John Lincoln had grown from a small electric motor company into the worldwide leader in welding consumables and other innovative products. It's success is attributed to dynamic and innovative products coupled with leadership based on shared-knowledge and adaptable incentive plans for it's employees. These incentive plans included company stock offerings, stock bonuses, good salaries, paid vacation, and guaranteed jobs. The incentives were believed to have contributed to the incredible success of the organization, and could be utilized as a model to their international operations.. Though Lincoln had a string of international success in their Canadian, Australian, and French operation,they were failing to realize profits internationally despite having rapid sales growth. Their balance sheet took a major hit as their debt began to climb, and were beginning to run low on cash. There were a number of causes to this failed policy. Just to name a few, acquisitions, management, and a poor business environment. As a result of their acquisitions, they were entering new markets that had poor labor management, unions, and low productivity. The management was dislocated abroad, and local management was highly inadequate. Secondly, the business environment was also poor. They were in the middle of a global recession, and the market was overpriced for companies. They would eventually learn from their mistakes, raise...

...DMV - CSI Enterprise Architecture Justification Paper XXXXX X. XXXXXXXXX University of Maryland University College 26 January 2014 Enterprise architecture is an abstract blueprint that is utilized to define the structure and operation of an organization.

...Wal-Mart Stores is an irresistible retail shopping force in the world we live in today. Majority of our fellow Americans have shopped at the nation’s number one retailer one time or another due to their catchy motto, “Save Money. Live Better.” or “Every Day Low Prices.”. It is also the number one retailer in Canada and Mexico. Today, the company employs 2.2 million associates worldwide and serves 200 million customers each week at more than 10,000 stores in 27 countries. One of those recently added countries being India. India is the second largest country with a population of over 1.2 billion people. The country thrives off of small businesses headed by poor families trying to make a living and to support their families. In the past decade however, India has made it clear they want to expand their horizons. This idea is not favored with everyone due to the fear of forgetting India’s roots and traditions to the modern way (or Western way). It is also causing a stir about the decline in profit to small businesses. The value of Indian economic output in 2012 will be $1.95 trillion and $2.12 trillion in 2013. That makes it one of the 10 largest economies in the world. India has already overtaken several rich countries such as Canada as far as the size of its economy goes. But faster economic growth is important as well as creating a robust economy that offers many opportunities to 1.2 billion Indians. The way to ensure this is not temporary; it’s monetary and fiscal...

...IT3200 Scott Morrissette December 11, 2010 Enterprise Architecture Proposal Project: Revision Plans Every company has a set of capabilities that can be digitized to ensure reliability, high quality, low cost, and timeliness (A-G Magazine, 2008). Money Making Finance has long endured their IT department as the bottleneck rather than an asset. The company has done well over the years without integration; however, as the company continues to grow exponentially, all branches and departments require the need for integration. A coordination model calls for high levels of integration but little standardization of processes (Robertson, Ross, & Weill, 2006). Implementing a coordination model will allow the financial advisors at each branch the power to negotiate and customize their experiences with customers. The focal point of the EA implementation will be the integration of shared data and services by all branches and departments across the world. By focusing IT investments on enabling the integration and standardization required of the company’s operating model, a company prepares itself for future strategic initiatives, without knowing what those initiatives might be (Robertson, Ross, & Weill, 2006) The operating model that has been set forth for Money Making Finance is no doubtable an excellent decision. Other financial and insurance companies have benefited immensely operating their EAs as coordination models to include MetLife and TD BankNorth. Coordination allows companies...

...Technology Accenture IT Strategy and Transformation Services: Maximizing the Value of IT for Today and Tomorrow IT leaders face a formidable challenge: meeting their organizations’ high expectations of IT services while controlling costs and preparing IT to meet the future needs of the business. Amidst increasing globalization and the ever-evolving and complex business and technology landscapes, organizations expect their IT leaders to make strategic investments that will support business growth and agility, capitalize on new and existing technologies to gain competitive advantage, and align IT priorities with business needs. Accenture’s ongoing High Performance IT research reveals that while CIOs want to contribute significant value for their organizations, a host of factors—notably cost-cutting mandates, “keeping the lights on” and fixing troubled projects—inhibit the CIO’s ability to be a value creator. Despite these realities, the research indicates that high-performance IT organizations consistently achieve excellence in IT execution, IT agility and IT innovation, balancing the sometimes opposing demands placed on IT organizations. To respond effectively to today’s challenges, IT organizations need to work differently, leveraging technology in new ways to achieve business results while keeping operating costs low. Accenture helps organizations quickly identify how IT can fuel high performance. We team with IT and business leaders to plan and deploy IT for the most...

...Batman – The Dark Knight Rises 1. What do we see in the opening scene (the prologue)? What tone/atmosphere does the opening scene set? W eget introduced to the villian/terrorist. Action-packed. 2. What kind of place is Gotham City? (what does it look like?) Much like New York. 3. Make a character sketch of Batman/Bruce Wayne and focus on his development. To what extent can Batman be said to be a vigilante? Quite withdrawn. Not very social like he was in the movies before.

Compare Batman to Bilbo. They are both on a mission. Which similarities/dissimilarities do you see? Batman is more like a ”serious” and obvious hero. Fighting hard with incredible powers. Bilbo is a more nice and ”lucky” type. Most of the things he experiences is accidentialy. 5. We know that adventurous blood runs in Bilbo’s veins (the Took side). What ’drives’ Batman on his mission? He is sort of the citys protector. He has a responsibility. 6. Characterise Bane (briefly) Pretty determined and intelligent. Ruthless. 7. What similarities/dissimilarities (in The Hobbit and The Dark Knight Rises) do you notice when it comes to villains? The fact that The hobbit is whole other genre compared the dark knight rises. The white orc is more primitive, but still powerfull where...
