...Tuesday, 23 February 2016 07:55 IT As A Strategic Partner Written by Gary Rush I’ve been reading about Data Warehouses and Business Intelligence – good reading – but noticed a concept that has been around since the late 1970’s, regarding the relationship between IT and business, that I believe needs to change. IT has been positioned to support business; that business is their customer. When IT views business as their customer, they work hard to support them, which is good. The reverse, however, is a problem. When the “business units” view IT as a support function they endure their presence. Today, with the growth of Big Data, business intelligence, e-commerce, etc., IT needs to be a strategic partner. A Strategic Partner Making a shift to view IT as a strategic partner with “business units” is crucial. Using Big Data effectively and developing useful business intelligence requires both the business involvement – they know their requirements, and technology involvement – they know how to deliver. But, it’s more than that. New technology and new uses of data emerge daily. When IT waits for the business to come to them with a need, business is generally in a reactive mode. When companies strategically tie business and IT as partners they have an advantage as IT can approach business with new ideas, new uses of technology and data; and business can come to IT with ideas for how to use data and technology, enabling them to be more proactive. ...

...story by Dorothy Parker, tells the story of an unnamed woman’s complaint with a dance partner. The pair meets at a party, when all the other dance partners are unavailable. The woman complains about the way the Man dances. Everything the man does, from the way he looks, to the steps he takes, to his cockiness makes her upset. However, the woman does not say anything to her partner. She struggles silently and it is only the reader who knows why the woman is upset. The story ends and after the dance, and the woman never reveals her thoughts or feelings. The story is an allegory because it tells a story through the story. Parker writes about a dance, but the dance represents more then the dance between the two characters. The dance expresses the relationship that women and men have. The woman, never wanted to talk to the man, but she is forced to. The woman didn’t want to dance with the man but she is forced to. The woman didn’t make mistakes while dancing, but after dancing with him she is forced to lie and say she did. The main character is never able to tell her partner her thoughts about the man’s character and behavior. The waltz is a dance complete by two partners. The male and female dancers both have parts to this dance and they both need to work together and work separately in order to make the dance a beautiful one. However, in the woman’s perspective, the man is unable to be a good partner because of the way he acts. He is very forward in his manner and dancing. He controls...

...in the country is the one from the book "Philippine Folk Dances v1" by Francisca Reyes Aquino, published sometime in 1940. The version integrated all the common dance figures among the many versions throughout the land. Three versions of this courtship-festival dance were found in Panay Island, the "Home of the Carinosa". Three different dance researchers discovered three equally beautiful Cariñosa dances. Petronila Suarez had her Carinosa Binggawan, Jose Balcena's informant; an old dancing virtuoso name Casimiro earned him the identity of Balcena's cariñosa version: Tatay Meroy Cariñosa. Tatay Meroy was an old bachelor from Roxas City who because of old age became aggressive in his courting of a future partner. This version dramatizes Tatay Mero's pursuit of his partner who teases him by flirting. Prolific Visayan dance researchers Libertad Fajardo and her daughter Joanne discovered a Cariñosa version from San Joaquin, Iloilo. The San Joaquin cariñosa is probably the most flirtatious of all known versions. Here, the couple does not simply do some hide-and-seek in a vertically spread handkerchief but also does the combing of each partner's hair and even...

...Facebook & Yelp: A Platform for Redemption Blake Brown Arizona University Facebook & Yelp: A Platform for Redemption Introduction In 2004, private-equity firm Elevation Partners launched amid the fanfare of having U2’s Bono as a co-owner and a $1.9 billion investment fund. Bad bets on companies coupled with the high turnovers between some of the firm’s initial six founders, left Elevation Partners in a far too precarious of a state for their investors. Elevation initially promised their investors they would have their money back after ten years along with annual returns starting at 8%. 2010 saw the firm only able to return $8 million in profits to investors, but 2012 is an entirely different story. Elevation is hoping that investments in Facebook and Yelp will make their investors forget about the several missteps they have endured along the way. Analysis Backed by technology-industry veterans and the front man of the world’s most successful rock group, Elevate is in the process of raising $1 billion for a new investment fund. Attempting to rise from the ashes after investments in Palm Smartphones, Forbes Media LLC, and other companies left Elevation’s investor’s pockets far less deep then they had been promised. Despite rival private-equity funds questioning the stability of the management of the two funds, Elevation’s luck seems to be changing. Their lottery tickets of sorts lies in the performance of two social media titans, Facebook and Yelp. After...

...An Examination of Partner Perceptions of Partner Rotation: Direct and Indirect Consequences to Audit Quality Key Points: * In order to improve audit quality by making auditors more independent, regulators mandate partner rotation and cooling-off periods. Specifically, partners would be required to rotate off to another client every five years. As stated in the article, rotation improves independence resulting in a positive impact on audit quality. * However, more often than not, partners would much rather enter a new industry than relocate to preserve their quality of life. Most partners opt to retrain rather than relocate, thus affecting audit quality negatively. Based on the findings described in the article, 93% of audit partners reported needing at least two years to become fully effective in a new engagement. Even partners who stay within the same industry line need some time to get used to differing information technology and other processing systems, client personnel, corporate governance characteristics, and the time it takes to gain client trust at the senior management and board levels. * There are some costs related to rotations, and a cost-benefit analysis should be performed. With that said, it might be hard to quantify the costs and benefits of this situation. How do you weigh the improvement in audit quality due to independence against its decline due to a lag in audit effectiveness (resulting from either a change in client or a change in industry...

...Partner Baggage Alayna Earl Kimber Antrobus Stacey Riggle Shelbie Wilson Candance Cochran Heather Coley University of Kentucky Abstract In the following, partner baggage and the contributing factors will be discussed. These factors are the equity theory, attachment styles, when to reveal and when to conceal, and the cognitive dissonance theory. These factors play a very big role in relationship baggage and they are all discussed extensively through many scholarly articles. The following articles illustrate the research done on the topic of partner baggage as it pertains to these particular factors in romantic relationships. Keywords: partner baggage, relational uncertainty, relational turbulence, dark side, interpersonal relationships According to an article by Sidelinger and Booth-Butterfield, partner baggage is defined as, “negative attributes and situations which create obstacles to optimal relationship outcomes” (Sidelinger & Booth-Butterfield, 2009, p. 405). That is just a really fun way of saying that one or both participants of a relationship have some issues that could be potentially detrimental to the relationship. Partner baggage is very common in most relationships, 69% of couples reported this about partner baggage (Sidelinger & Booth-Butterfield, 2009, p. 414). There is a lot of ambiguity in relationships to begin with (Spitzberg & Cupach, 2011, p. 31), but partner baggage adds another element of relational uncertainty. To understand...

...some knowledge about it like the country origin, the tempo and etc. Then we proceed to learn the dance steps. At that moment I felt excited and afraid because I never imagine I will learn dancing in my college life. That was my first time to dance with guys, I felt afraid and I don’t know who will be my partner but during the dance I feel happy and enjoyable. The steps that we learned it was something basic so it was easy to learned it. We learned the steps fast not only because of that but also because of the music for that dance is lively, joyful and also our teacher taught us well. She taught us step by step, and we didn’t waste any minute for practicing it. I was so tired that time because our class, boys are more than girls almost three times. Each girl had two or three partners. I should dance with my partners alternately. My partners had the chance to rest but I didn’t have. My legs got ache, it was super pain and tired. Sweat none stop dripped from my face. Even I wipe and wipe still dripping from my face. I felt sorry for one of my partner, I stepped his feet many times. Not bad he didn’t get mad. I really felt sorry to him. There were sometimes I got shock, my partner suddenly pulls my arm because he wanted to make a turn, but I got shock so I didn’t followed it and our steps became disorderly again. This kind of situation happened many times in our dance last time. In my opinion the two of us should have a strong unvoiced pact for us to dance well and nice. Before...

...If me and my partner committed crime and get caught what would I do and what would my partner do? Being in a situation like that I would take the fault and I believe that my partner will also take the fault as well. Why do I think that? Easy, all my friends are loyal and I am extremely picky with who I surround myself with. I like to be surrounded by positive energy and not negative. I want to be around supportive people and also friends who aren't only with you for benefits, I don't like to be taken advantage of. I believe that if I would get in to any crime with any of my friends or boyfriend. They will take the fault and I will too. We were brought in to the mess together and we will both take the fault. I don't want to lose friendship with any one of my partners. Imagine how life after prison will be if you blamed that person and he/she pleads guilty. I will live with guilt knowing I was involved but yet I back stabbed my partner. Also taking the blame is the power move and it strengths your position, not weakening it. First of all,because you took responsibility of something and you can do something about it. It will give you strength. You are taking courage to your own blame. Taking responsibility will also prove to your partner that you are loyalty. This is also another way to see if that person is a true friend of not. To take the blame and get one year in prison will also give you self confidence in yourself. You need the personal strength to accept the failure you...
