...About this document Requirements are the foundation of the project and the development of the product that the project has been organized to develop. The purpose of this document is to present a standardized requirements collection template. The template proposed in this document serves a variety of purposes. It is intended for all types of project requirements: • Business • User • System • Functional • Non-Functional The template is useful for the development of a traceability matrix because it tracks a requirement to its parent requirement, and requests the source and or document from which the requirement came. The template also supports specific, measureable, attainable, realistic and testable requirements by asking for supporting clarifications for the requirement. Recognizing that not all requirements are included in the final product, the form also tracks the priority and the history of the requirement. The collection template is intended to be copied and pasted into the various documents that form the chain from business requirements, to user, system requirements and operational requirements. Part of the...

...them in a dialog about the situation or problem and collaborate agree on how to approach or solve it. In doing so, employees and teammates cooperate with an effective persuader because they want to, not because they have to. WHY PERSUASION IS IMPORTANT? To be an effective manager, you must be an able persuader. Employees today show little intolerance for unquestioned authority. More and more companies are adapting a participative work style where employees at all levels are involved in formulating strategy, discussing business needs, making bottom-line decisions, and implementing workplace changes. Persuasion is a necessary skill also because in today’s business world, there is an increasing amount of work being done by teams and virtual employees. In a team-based or team-supported workplace, seldom does a higher authority mandate decisions. Work is divided and overseen by selfmanaging team rather than a higher level mgr. you work with ur peers, not subordinates, persuasion is the only alternative. OVERVIEW OF THEORIES OF PERSUASION Some of the skills and technqiues of persuasion are rooted in research in traditional and cognitive psychology. 1950s, psychologist Leon Festinger coined the term cognitive dissonance. Explains the tension that exists when individuals beliefs do not align with their behaviors, leads to discomfort and tension An effective persuader will be aware of this dissonance and employ a variety of tactics to help restore consonance or alignment...

...Why Normalization Failed to Become the Ultimate Guide for Database Designers? Marin Fotache Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Dept. of Business Information Systems Blvd. Carol I, nr. 22, Iasi, 700505, Romania Tel: + 40 744 497 654, Fax: + 40 232 217 000 fotache@uaic.ro ABSTRACT With an impressive theoretical foundation, normalization was supposed to bring rigor and relevance into such a slippery domain as database design is. Almost every database textbook treats normalization in a certain extent, usually suggesting that the topic is so clear and consolidated that it does not deserve deeper discussions. But the reality is completely different. After more than three decades, normalization not only has lost much of its interest in the research papers, but also is still looking for practitioners to apply it effectively. Despite the vast amount of database literature, comprehensive books illustrating the application of normalization to effective real-world applications are still waited. This paper reflects the point of 1 view of an Information Systems academic who incidentally has been for almost twenty years a practitioner in developing database applications. It outlines the main weaknesses of normalization and offers some explanations about the failure of a generous framework in becoming the so much needed universal guide for database designers. Practitioners might be interested in finding out (or confirming)...

...Description of Non-Governmental Organizations Any attempts to explore the performance management practices of NGOs must begin with an explanation what non-governmental organizations or non-profit organizations in general are and principally what their field of activity consists of. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and non-profit organizations (NPOs) are a diverse group of organizations, which play different roles and take very different shapes and forms within and across different countries. NGOs work both independently and alongside bilateral aid agencies from developed countries, private-sector infrastructure operators, self-help associations, and local governments (Hamed-Ur-Rehman, 2012). Salomon und Anheimer (1999) developed the idea that NGOs in general show five key characteristics. They are (a) organized and follow a certain institutional common goal, (b) they separate themselves from the government and are private corporations, (c) they do not return profit to investors ore owners, (d) they are completely autonomous and decide over there activities on their own and (e) they base on a voluntary member or worker platform. According to Enahoro and Nwaobia (2012) NGOs play an essential part in the development process of civil societies and contribute to the economic development in developing countries. Furthermore Enahoro and Nwaobia refer to NGOs as private organizations that pursue finalities of public interest though raising of new resources, creating new services...

...Environmental Pollution at Hindustan Lever’s Kodaikanal Plant In mid-2004, Hindustan Lever Ltd (HLL) executives looked back at the events of the past three years at their mercury thermometer factory in Kodaikanal in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. After mercury leakage from the plant had been reported in March 2001, heavy expenditure had been incurred in environmental risk assessment, waste disposal and health monitoring. The expenditure had exceeded the total profits generated by the plant since its inception. But the pressure from NGOs, led by Greenpeace , who had been protesting since March 2001 had not subsided. The NGOs had indulged in novel ways of keeping the issue alive. These included chaining themselves to the HLL branch office in Chennai on 15th November 2002, disrupting the Annual General Meetings (AGMs) of HLL held on 13th June 2003 and 29th June 2004, shouting slogans and brandishing placards and enlisting sympathy from ex-workers and the general public. Greenpeace also maintained the pressure on HLL through its website, photoalbums, posters, persistent media briefing and seminars. The NGOs had most recently attacked HLL in April 2004 in a seminar in Chennai. Even as they waited anxiously for the regulator, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board’s (TNPCB) nod to start decontamination of equipment and remediation of soil, HLL’s senior managers believed they had discharged their duties conscientiously. They wondered what more was needed to be done...

...FINANCE AND FINANCIAL MARKETS 3,6 Types of financial intermediaries Financial institutions are like most other businesses in that they exist to make a profit and this is maximized by minimizing their costs and maximizing their revenue. Like most firms they can only survive if they design and sell products and services that can meet demand at a reasonable profit level. We now proceed to look at some of the key types of financial institutions that are involved in the process of financial intermediation; that is, the transfer of funds between surplus and deficit agents. We distinguish between deposit-accepting institutions, such as banks and savings institutions, and other types of financial intermediaries, such as insurance companies, mutual funds/unit trusts, pension funds, hedge funds and private equity and the like. 3.7 deposit institution an institution such as a bank or savings institution that accepts cash deposits Deposit institutions Deposit institutions accept deposits from economic agents. These funds become their liabilities which they then on-lend to make direct loans or investments, which become their assets. Deposit-taking institutions aim to make a profit in the way of 'spread income' between the cost of the deposits that they accept and other sources of funding, and the return that they receive on their investment portfolio in the way of loans, equity stakes and other investments. Examples of deposit institutions include commercial banks,...

This puts them at a slight disadvantage when it comes to paving a career for themselves vis-a-vis men.
