...LEGO - EMBRACING CHANGE BY COMBINING BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE WITH A FLEXIBLE INFORMATION SYSTEM History of LEGO Company The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. The company has passed from father to son and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder. It has come a long way over the past almost 80 years - from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, to a global enterprise that is now, in terms of sales, the world’s fourth-largest manufacturer of toys. The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". The original Lego toys started with a wooden duck. But the first LEGO automatic binding brick is their most important product. The products have undergone extensive development over the years – but the foundation remains the traditional LEGO brick. The Lego Group began in the carpentry workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, in Billund, Denmark in 1916. In 1961, Lego wished to expand sales to North America, but did not have the logistical capabilities to do so. Lego made an arrangement allowing Samsonite to begin producing and selling Lego products in the United States and Canada. On 7 June 1968, the first Legoland Park was opened in Billund. This theme park featured elaborate models of miniature towns built entirely from Lego bricks. The three acre (12,000 m²) park attracted 625,000 visitors in its first year alone. During the next 20 years, the park grew to more than eight times...

Christian Hartmann (LKN) 01. April 2006 01. October 2006 ii Abstract Parameter optimization, such as antenna tilting and CPICH power, can be used to adapt the traffic capacity of 3G systems to traffic demands which are varying in the space and time dimensions. The goal of this thesis is to investigate how parameter optimization can be implemented, both in the 3G cellular system’s initial planning stage to optimize the network for CAPEX saving as well as after the deployment of the network, to increase the capacity of the system. For this purpose, appropriate models, including the space and time domain dynamics of the traffic modeling the moving hotspot characteristics, have been integrated into a system simulation tool. Meta-heuristics techniques such as Tabu Search and Simulated Annealing have been implemented to solve this NP-hard problem. Results show that the existence of optimal configurations can have an achievable capacity gain of more than 30%. iii Acknowledgements This Master Thesis would not have been possible without the support of many people.

...Strategic Planning for eServices1 A Short Tutorial for the Beginners2 Amjad Umar, Ph.D. Senior Technical Advisor, United Nations-GAID Executive Summary Strategic planning of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)-based services, abbreviated as eServices, is a crucial task for the public as well as private sectors. Given a strategic project (or an initiative), a strategic planning process identifies the main alternatives, the key business/technical issues involved in each alternative, and helps in evaluation and selection of the most viable alternatives before initiating the project. To succeed, the strategic planning process must explore a large number of people, process and technology issues and eliminate surprises. This is not easy because the task of eservices planning in the digital age is considerably complicated due to the changing business and technical landscape and an ever-growing body of knowledge. This short tutorial gives a quick overview of the vast body of knowledge that entails a typical strategic ICT planning process and presents a conceptual framework for further exploration of this important area. 1. An Example – eServices for a City Ms Fran Kuye is mayor of a city with one million inhabitants, located in a developing country.She wants to use the knowledge gained from her MPA (Master of Public Administration) to transform her city to a “Digital City” that heavily relies on eservices to support its citizens. Her overall goal is...

...every family since parenthood does not merely end on giving birth, but extends to the upbringing of every child, and providing for all their needs. In the Philippines, we often affiliate the concept of family planning to responsible parenthood and contraception. Contraception is a fundamental health care service, and a basic public health measure. The ability to plan, space, and discontinue bearing children has transformed everyday life for women, families, and communities. Along with other improvements in medical care and public health, it has vastly enhanced women’s autonomy, professional and educational achievement, and emotional satisfaction. Nevertheless, there are still mothers who are not persuaded in the use of contraceptives. According to previous studies, some of the reasons behind this are the forces acting around them. These may include the people surrounding them such as their spouses, friends, family, their culture and beliefs, or the information they obtain from media. With that, the researchers devised a study that aims to measure the influence of the advertisement campaigns from the contraceptive brand TRUST to family planning as perceived by women. Also, to find out whether these advertisements alter their perception about family planning, and convince them to finally use contraceptives. And lastly, whether social forces said to be affecting women’s decisions are still applicable in today’s generation. In order to get a more precise result...
