To make a pragmatic decision whether or not he should commence on his business, a visionary analysis seems inevitable. It seemingly seems very crucial to have a SWAT analysis table first to best categorize the strengths, Weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Accordingly, it’s needed to go over each of them and conclude on the case if it’s feasible for him or not to start up his venture. SAWT Analysis Table: (based on the facts in the case) Strengths • Strong background in both construction and equipment management...

... As well, it has proved its worth at companies far removed from the relatively slow-clockspeed, manufacturing-intensive automotive industry. This paper describes the analysis process, the decision model, and the resulting improved process for value chain strategy at GMPT. The value analysis process emphasizes the need to balance quantitative financial considerations with less-easily quantifiable strategic issues. This model not only provided key decision support for value chain strategy, but also formed the foundation of a fast-response capability to emergent and disruptive strategic challenges. We describe why such a capability is of critical importance not only to companies such as General Motors, buy also to companies in very fast clockspeed industries such as on-line music and entertainment. Arvin Mueller, Group Vice-President of GM Powertrain from 1997 through 2001, comments on the Value Chain Strategy and its role in the strategic governance of GM’s global powertrain operations: Without a structured process for value chain strategy and formation, dealing with a rapidly changing business model in a huge, complex, and global industry provides only a hit-or-miss destiny. A systems approach to value chain strategy led to a partitioning of “Knowledge Assets” and “Supply Capabilities” within the vast business of engineering and manufacturing engines, transmissions, and control systems for the world’s largest automotive company. Application of consistent criteria to...

...Workplace Privacy: Privacy Rights in the Workplace Marisol Cortez National University Legal Aspects of Business I Law 304 Jack B. Hamlin, M.S., J.D. October 23, 2011 Abstract Workplace Privacy: Is an employer issued search of employer issued property to their employees a violation of the employees’ Fourth Amendment right of freedom from unreasonable search and seizure? This paper will examine the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to the case of City of Ontario v. Jeff Quon that has provided a significant change of the views on workplace privacy law in this country. The majority of U.S. employees believe that it is their constitutional right to have reasonable workplace privacy. However, most U.S. employees are unaware that their constitutional right to privacy is contingent upon the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment’s rights to freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. This constitutional right is generally applied to state actions and they are at times limited to protecting only federal, state, and municipal employees. Furthermore, this paper will discuss the influences of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence to private sector employment because of the parallel common law standard of “reasonable expectations of privacy” which is the primary piece of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) the federal legislation suggesting employee privacy interest in prohibiting unlawful access and certain disclosures of contents in certain forms of communication...

...Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP [HBR case #699022] Reviews Cisco System's approach to implementing Oracle's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software product. This case chronologically reviews the diverse, critical success factors and obstacles facing Cisco during its implementation. Cisco faced the need for information systems replacement based on its significant growth potential and its reliance on failing legacy systems. The discussion focuses on where management was particularly savvy in contrast to where it was the beneficiary of good fortune. Cisco was highly successful with its enterprise resource planning (ERP) effort. What accounts for this success? What were the most important things that Cisco did correctly? Cisco’s success is greatly attributed by its 100% dedication of their teams to complete this project. It started with the senior management team approval and support. This includes its core ERP team of 20 which expanded to 100 after the board approval. Also included is the Executive Steering committee which also worked countless hours to meet this deadline. Even the hardware vendor who was an executive sponsor probably had 30 people on site at one point. This big financially but it was a great reference for them. The core ERP team represented a cross section of Cisco’s business community who were experts in its field . They were very structured and organized dividing the large 100 team into 5 process area teams or ‘tracks’. Each track had a Cisco...

...Builders/Designers Event Driven Programming Application Programming II Rapid Application Development and Prototyping Rapid Application Development and Prototyping What is RAD? 3 RAD Approaches 4 Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a development lifecycle designed to give much faster development and higher-quality results than those achieved with the traditional lifecycle. It is designed to take the maximum advantage of powerful development software that has evolved recently (Martin, 1991). By using a series of proven application development techniques, within a well-defined methodology, organisations can quickly and cheaply develop systems without compromising on quality . Rapid Application Development and Prototyping Barry Boem’s spiral model James Martin's RAD methodology Agile methods Rapid Application Development and Prototyping 1 2/29/2016 What is RAD? 5 What is RAD? 6 Dr. James Martin came up with the RAD software development methodology/approach in the late 1980’s. This was in response to the non-agile Stagewise or Waterfall Models methodologies of the 1970s. Unlike the traditional conventional approaches, RAD emphasises development rather than specification and planning. It is thus a flexible and rapid development process where requirements are modified as the project progresses and more knowledge is gained. For instance, rather than concentrate on design specifications...

...included, had taken a risk in joining the project. Rewards should, and would, be generous. The size of the bonus pool, though, made Solvik think: they had done well, but how well? What had gone right? What had gone wrong? Given another project of this magnitude and risk, would they be able to do it again? No tC Cisco Systems, Inc. was founded by two Stanford computer scientists in 1984 and became publicly traded in 1990. The company’s primary product is the “router,” the combination of hardware and software that acts as a traffic cop on the complex TCP/IP1 networks that make up the Internet (as well as corporate “Intranets”). With the rise of Internet technologies, demand for Cisco’s products boomed and the company soon began to dominate its markets. By 1997, its first year on the Fortune 500, Cisco ranked among the top five companies in return on revenues and return on assets. (See Exhibit 1 for Cisco’s financial performance.) Only two other companies, Intel and Microsoft, have ever matched this feat. Perhaps even more impressive, on July 17, 1998, just 14 years after being founded, Cisco’s market capitalization passed the $100 billion mark (15-times 1997 sales). Some industry pundits predicted that Cisco would be the third...
