Millions of electronic transactions are taking place daily all across this world of ours. This is even happening as we sleep in our beds at night. As the demand rises for more Transactions at a higher rate of speed, the cost itself goes up as we have to purchase new and improved hardware and software systems. These new systems will handle the extra amount of supplies that are being manufactured, sent, sold and auctioned not only here in the United States but across this world of ours.

...an effort that I was going to lead. The project goal was to develop a solution such that an associate’s desktop will be available anytime, anywhere and from any device (laptop/tablet PC or even mobile phones). Multiple teams were identified to contribute towards the final goal. A process was defined whereby there would be strong accountability and systems were setup to review the progress on a weekly basis. The teams were told by the top management in the room that we must adhere to complete transparency and ensure full communication across all the teams. The project was a huge undertaking and due to the timelines everyone involved understood that we would be working under some additional work pressure. This project was initiated by the Office of the CIO (Chief Information Officer) and had visibility at the highest level because it would affect Staples’ associates globally and involved approximately $30 million. I recently joined Staples Corporation. Staples has an unique culture that I have not seen in previous companies that I have worked at. I will attempt to analyze the culture, specifically the artifacts, espoused values and assumptions as defined in “Organization Culture” (Schein, 1990) at Staples Corporation and align the cultural attributes to my personal characteristics. Based on this, I will attempt to show...

...Pre-course Assignment – NDAS Case Study Question 1 The current level of office automation at NDAS varies with each department. The company is also in the process of upgrading its computer systems to improve performance and reduce costs. The Payroll Department has a minicomputer on which it runs the payroll twice monthly. The Sales and Marketing department has a desktop computer for each account representative. All the computers are connected to a LAN, which serves only the Sales and Marketing department. The Accounts Receivable Division has recently replaced its old minicomputer with a more powerful microcomputer. This new server supports databases for both customer billing and bad debts. The Accounts Payable Division maintains its vendor database on an older minicomputer. It is in the process of downsizing to a powerful desktop server. The vendor database contains billing information of NDAS and ODI. The Accounts Payable Division is also responsible for payroll. Employees in Accounts Receivable and Payable divisions have PCs on their desks. The Fleet Maintenance Division has no computers and processes all its information manually. The Dispatch department, which is part of Fleet Maintenance, also processes its work manually. This division is responsible for bundling incoming packages and preparing them for overnight delivery. The Dispatch department is most in need of a network. The various branches and agents of NDAS are located far apart - there may be delays...

...other aspects of office of the future? Some of the benefits, features, and other aspects of a virtual office that I want to take a look at are: the definition of a virtual office, technology and it’s role, people’s view of the future office, Microsoft’s view, an effective workspace, the flexibility of a virtual office, and what you might find/see in your office of the future. “A virtual office is a combination of off-site live communication and address services that allow users to reduce traditional office costs while maintaining business professionalism.[1] Frequently the term is confused with “office business centers” or “executive suites” which demand a conventional lease whereas a true virtual office does not require that expense” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_office). Virtual office is the new office of the future. Although a virtual office has been around for a while, it has not been used by everyone because when the concept was adopted, there was not much technology developed yet to support it. Now, with the increasing amount of technology for home use, now companies can move more jobs to this form of an office. The most common careers using virtual office is customer service representative’s jobs. A plan is put into place when designing what an office should look like in the future. When a company designs a model for a project; there is also a model designed for future offices. Corporate America has designers to create an office. What I love is...

A schematic map is needed in a laboratory as nay new employee’s or members of the laboratory will need to know where to go and where certain things are such as utilities (water, gas and electric) and fire exits in case of an emergency.
