...reliable product but also providing a better customer service. These can only be achieved through developing a better information system, a highly reliable infrastructure and a more efficient management system. ERP Systems born to help the different parts of the organization share data and knowledge, reduce costs, and improve management of business processes.

...TERM PAPER ON Information System of Standard Bank Limited [pic] Submitted To: Dr. Md. Mosharraf Hossain Professor Department of Management University of Dhaka Submitted By: Sabbir Ahmed 3-11-21-065 Department of Management University of Dhaka Date of Submission 09.11.2014 Preface Theoretical knowledge, what we learn through our academic activities, is not sufficient to prepare ourselves for the life battle. Academic knowing is needed to be backed up by practical experience. In business studies, besides their usual theoretical course works, students are required to fulfill some practical assignments which are set by the course teachers to examine the depth of knowledge learned by the students. Most of the time, the students are required to study a practical working environment of any organization or industry to critically examine ‘what is actually going on’ in the real world. This document is prepared as a result of an assignment set by the honorable course teacher of the course “Fundamental of MIS”. .My duty was to describe “Information System of My Organization.” and report what I found. This is how this assignment paper titled “Information System of Standard Bank Limited.” was emerged. I believe this paper is a reflection of accumulation of my effort, learning and dedication.

...Impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in Accounting Systems: A Case Study 1 1,2 Kgomotso Matengu, 2Dr. B.N. Swami Faculty of Business, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana Abstract ERP assists with centralized data bases, quick access to information and easy management of data in terms of backing up of data and restoration of data as required by the organization. The main aim of this paper is to locate the impact of ERP and its implementation in accounting practices. The allied objectives of this research are to locate the problems and prospects of ERP taking the local bank as a case study. The users of ERP have good faith in the programme having taken into account of the programme’s reliability, accuracy and response to time. The main worry is the limitation of budget where the implementation of the programme requires heavy budget for hard and soft ware and training the personal for sending the staff for exposure in ERP. Keywords ERP, Functions, benefits, problems & prospects) I. Background Information Companies are slowly moving from individual system modules to more integrated systems. This has on one hand provided lots of opportunities and cost savings and on the other hand created few challenges and complications for the management at different levels in an organization. It is estimated that between 1.5 and 6.0 percent of annual revenues are spent on ERP implementation [18]. The top five ERP vendors, SAP, Oracle Corporation, PeopleSoft...

...Gordon University, UK 4 Management School, University of Sheffield, UK ABSTRACT The ‘attitude–behaviour gap’ or ‘values–action gap’ is where 30% of consumers report that they are very concerned about environmental issues but they are struggling to translate this into purchases. For example, the market share for ethical foods remains at 5 per cent of sales. This paper investigates the purchasing process for green consumers in relation to consumer technology products in the UK. Data were collected from 81 self-declared green consumers through in depth interviews on recent purchases of technology products. A green consumer purchasing model and success criteria for closing the gap between green consumers’ values and their behaviour are developed. The paper concludes that incentives and single issue labels (like the current energy rating label) would help consumers concentrate their limited efforts. More fundamentally, ‘being green’ needs time and space in people’s lives that is not available in increasingly busy lifestyles. Implications for policy and business are proposed.

...troubleshooting phase. Troubleshooting is important to ensuring the new system is running up to optimal standards. The fourth phase will have a deadline of 30 days. The fourth phase is the Training Phase, and our trainers only need a month to convert the needed employees to the new system. The Fifth and Final Stage is our Final Evaluation/Lessons Learned Stage. At this point, the system is at full running operation, and for the last month the system will be ready for a full evaluation. Riordan Manufacturing is a fast growing business, and has grown into a large fortune 1000 company. As they grew into this large company they have been encountering problems with lost or misplaced material. As of now Riordan’s material is manually tracked by paper and pen by employees then entered into a database by an inventory clerk at the end of the day. This is causing them to misplace customer packages resulting in unhappy customers, and loss of money. A logical solution is to building an effective tracking system to fix this problem. Customer packages will be electronically scanned using scanners, and automatically imputed into a database. This upgrade will not fix the misplaced package, but will make it easier to find a misplaced package. Riordan will have to build an infrastructure to withstand the...

...Journal of Applied Business and Economics Global Business Management: Current Trends and Practices Michael Wisma Saint Joseph College of Indiana Today, problems associated with global business management have been identified as factors that negatively impact the performance and productivity of multinational corporations and in turn, adversely affect regional and national economic growth. While factors related to logistics and distribution are important when selecting international suppliers, they are inadequate when considered in isolation of internal and external forces. This paper engages in a comprehensive and systematic analysis of global supply chain management, particularly in terms of micro and macro cultural considerations. INTRODUCTION Organizations are facing increased global competition, economic uncertainties, and changing markets. Technology is changing the way we conduct business and manage information. Outsourcing of significant functions within businesses and organizations complicates the landscape of supplier relations. Suppliers and vendor partners may be located in the same city, region or country. But they are just as likely to be located halfway around the world, adding new challenges to business management. The growth of international strategic partnerships has risen exponentially in the last twenty years. Competing in a global marketplace has made it increasingly important to align business strategies with a risk management strategy...

...ANIMAL PROCEDURES COMMITTEE REVIEW OF COST-BENEFIT ASSESSMENT IN THE USE OF ANIMALS IN RESEARCH JUNE 2003 REPORT OF THE COST-BENEFIT WORKING GROUP OF THE ANIMAL PROCEDURES COMMITTEE PREFACE Letter to the Minister from Michael Banner, Chair of the Animal Procedures Committee 17 June 2003 Dear Ms Flint ANIMAL PROCEDURES COMMITTEE: RECOMMENDATIONS ON COST-BENEFIT ASSESSMENT UNDER THE ANIMALS (SCIENTIFIC PROCEDURES) ACT 1986 On behalf of the Animal Procedures Committee I enclose the Committee’s report on cost-benefit assessment. In it we address the adequacy of the current cost-benefit assessment performed in the course of evaluating project licence applications. We have sought to look at the many issues which arise in relation to this important element of the regulation of the use of animals, but would draw attention to three particular aspects of our work. In the first place we have addressed the fundamental question as to scientific validity of the use of animals. We believe that our considerations and conclusions offer an important clarification of the debate and fulfil the request made by your predecessor, Mike O’Brien, to provide advice on this issue. Secondly, while we conclude that some uses of animals may yield scientific knowledge, we argue that this does not settle the question of justification. We go on to elucidate the full range of factors which must be considered for there to be a rigorous application of the cost-benefit assessment. Thirdly, we also consider how...

Due to the uniqueness of software projects there is no single Agile development approach that ideally fits all project contexts. Each software project is unique, whether in its subject area, development team, or project size. Because of this, adapting Agile practices according to project circumstances is a must. There has been a number of literature published discussing Agile practices...

Diagnostic methods that are used to troubleshoot wired 802.3 networks should also be applied when troubleshooting a wireless local area network (WLAN). A bottoms-up approach to analyzing the OSI reference model layers also applies to wireless networking. A wireless networking administrator should always try to first determine whether problems exist at layer 1 and layer 2. As with most networking technologies, most problems usually exist at the Physical layer. Simple layer 1 problems such as nonpowered access points or client card driver problems are often the root cause of connectivity or performance issues. Because WLANs use radio frequencies to deliver data, troubleshooting a WLAN offers many unique layer 1 challenges not found in a typical wired environment. The bulk of this chapter discusses the numerous potential problems...
