...A new patronage network driven by a Transfer Technology Office sustained per Citizens By Jose Mariscal Definition Patronage is the support, encouragement, privilege, or financial aid that an organization or individual bestows to another. In the history of art, arts patronage refers to the support that kings or popes have provided to musicians, painters, and sculptors. It can also refer to the right of bestowing offices or church benefices, the business given to a store by a regular customer, and the guardianship of saints. The word "patron" derives from the Latin patronus, "patron," one who gives benefits to his clients (see Patronage in ancient Rome). Abstract This essay proposes a new patronage network driven by a Transfer Technology Office sustained per Citizens. Engage to generate wealth created by innovator citizens and that this wealthy be distributed to thinker citizens. Source readings: patronage history and the books The World is Flat and Open Business Models. From the Beginning of the first Organized Societies, the art, supported by patronage Were sciences. The development of the same innovations to generate this value was by wealthy people and / or political power within society (e.g. family Medici, Pope Julius II who sponsored Rafael). In other words, the benefits of this value was for people with resources and in some ways was "monopolized" the creation of innovations by the high echelons of society. Whatever its roots, it became firmly institutionalized...

...John Weaver BIS/220 Introduction to Computer Application and Systems Instructor: Michael Clough October 2, 2012 Types of Electronic Commerce Activity Electronic Commerce has really taken It’s place in history. 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. Some of these transactions are when a consumer, such as my wife orders something from Walmart or QVC and it is sent directly to our home. Another would be like when the US NAVY buys parts for their ships from a company like Honeywell, and they send these parts to the Navy. We also find consumer’s...

...ideas around corporate messaging and desktop engineering. To the left was a poster of the chronological history of how Staples evolved from Tom Stemburg in 1986 to Ron Sargent. The other end of the conference room had a poster with the words “Together Everyone Achieves More” and abbreviated as TEAM. The associates were gathered in the room to discuss the technology strategy for the company – 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 Wild Frontier – Terminal Services In order to provide appropriate support in terms of software and applications for the new satellite offices there is a need to develop and deliver a comprehensive solution which also meets the support requirements of self-sufficiency for these locations. As a result the use of Terminal Services would be the most appropriate and efficient solution in order to deliver the necessary applications and services. The use of Terminal Services will require the servers which reside at the head office location – and where IT personnel are more readily available to provide and meet configuration and maintenance requirements – to support the hosting of multiple sessions from network-connected workstations at the satellite offices which will then provide users with the necessary applications and services which they need in order to fulfil their designated roles and responsibilities. This will not only provide an effective and efficient means of accessing the necessary services and applications which are required by each of the satellite offices and their users but will also provide an increased level of security through which information and data is maintained across the organization. With the removal of local storage and servers for example through the provision of Terminal Services to these locations would therefore negate the need for the following physical elements to be maintained at each site: * Application Servers * File Servers ...

...Office Technology and Management: A Catalyst for Students’ Self-reliance. ABSTRACT This paper discusses office technology and management as a catalyst for students’ self-reliance. The core of the paper is that when students who are considered future leaders are empowered, it subsequently leads to the social, economic and political growth and stability of any nation. Office technology and management formerly known as secretarial studies is proffered as the catalyst education for students’ self-reliance based on all spheres of human endeavour. It guarantees prompt and decent employment for students who have competent secretarial skills. Students, after graduation could also go entrepreneurial to establish small-scale businesses of different types. INTRODUCTION In the national development equation, education remains the fulcrum upon which other indices of national development revolve. It is no doubt, that office technology and management education is one of the disciplines that train students for self-reliance and self-sufficiency. The level and quality of education collectively attained in a given society determines the extent to which other factors of development are exploited for the advancement of that society. Office technology and management creates awareness, develops the potentials in man to subdue and harness the resources in his environment for the betterment of himself and his society. Education according to Boladele (2002) is a process of acculturation through...

...that no matter the schema chosen for training, the path needs to be clear for the users. The training that the users will require will rely of their background, the purpose of the training, features of the system, any types of new user interfaces, etc. This project is an outline for a presentation given by a mixture of HR and IT professionals, streamlining company policy and procedures, for a company-wide compliance system. The head office will implement the training, with training conducted in a central location. This will be conducive to all the other satellite offices, making them easily reached by the managers that will be attending the training sessions. Training will be located on the Main Office location, to minimize training costs, with training divided over two days, each having one, 5-hour training period.

...met with various government agencies and businesses on the island to determine what type of financial planning is needed. The following will examine the factors affecting the decisions of creating a business on kava and the process that will assist in making the business successful. Factors affecting the decision implementation When starting a new project, one of the biggest factors that could affect implementing any decision is communication. As leaders for the Kava project, Alex and I need to make sure that we clearly and thoroughly explain what the goal is, and listen to the members of our team to obtain quality solutions. “Effective communication is without doubt a key component of successful change.” (Lewis, 2006). For the Kava office to be successful, our team must be able to communicate the goals and expectations to the team. We must also be willing to hear feedback and value the input received from the team members (Lewis, 2006). The first three goals established were to hire a local employee, create a marketing brochure, and obtain proper business licenses and tax requirements to operate legally in Kava. Although we have used the resources at corporate to help with all three, there are still small issues that Alex and I must be able to deal with, and also need to create options in the event the original plan does not work. Developing back up plans will help make the transition easier and will allow our team deal with any last minute situations that may arise...

...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...
