I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all individuals who have supported me at every stage of my graduate schooling here at University Technology Malaysia-SPACE. Foremost, I am deeply indebted to my adviser Mr. Soomasundaram for the continuous support during my Diploma study and research, for his patience, motivation, enthusiasm and immense knowledge in the subject. His guidance helped me all the time during my research. I could not have imagined having a better mentor for my Diploma’s program. The stage I have grown today is fully attributed to my adviser without whom I might have encountered many troubles in pursuing my stay at UTMSpace and surely wouldn’t have done this fruitful research and practical experience. I have really enjoyed those long educated discussion sessions we had over the past 1 year and of course without his aim I believe this project paper is incomplete. Beside...

...2 Assistant professor College of Business Administration Prince Sultan University Saudi Arabia E-mail: sureshsubramoniam@gmail.com Abstract: Supply chain management (S CM), a management method to optimize internal costs and productivities, has evolved as an application of e-business technologies. SCM is a powerful strategic function capable of radically improving customer value propositions by the reengineering of intranet and internet-enabled collaborative channel partnerships. Latest developments in information technology have propelled the e-Supply Chain Management (e-SCM) concept to newer dimensions. In the past, neither markets nor products changed much over time, enterprises that gained initial superiority could leverage on, considerable resources and process knowledge, mature distribution channels, advertising and marketing clout, and the newest technologies, to maintain that lead. Today, it is evident that there is no such thing as sustainable competitive advantage and also that all advantages are temporary. The cause for the rapid acceleration in the erosion of competitive advantage in almost all the businesses can be traced back to the rapidly developing newer technologies. Still more deadly is the sudden growth of newer business models that have been quick in challenging the present leaders by leveraging on special competencies which permit them to invade the market and conquer the targeted customer segments better. This paper conducts an extensive literature...

...Introduction Social Impacts of Computing Rob Kling Editor The Impact of Office Automation on the Organization: Some Implications for Research and Practice M a r g r e t h e H. O l s o n a n d H e n r y C. L u c a s Jr. New York University Computer technology has recently been applied to the automation of office tasks and procedures. Much of the technology is aimed not at improving the efficiency of current office procedures, but at altering the nature of office work altogether. The development of automated office systems raises a number of issues for the organization. How will this technology be received by organization members? How will it affect the definition of traditional office work? What will be its impact on individuals, work groups, and the structure of the organization? This paper presents a descriptive model and propositions concerning the potential impacts of office automation on the organization and it stresses the need, when implementing automated office systems, to take a broad perspective of their potential positive and negative effects on the organization. The need for further research examining the potential effects of office automation is emphasized.

...Preparing for Organizational Change Hospital technology decision makers now confront a growing pipeline of information technology (IT) and major medical equipment that challenges traditional capital allocation processes. In a highly fragmented industry that is driven by coverage and reimbursement policies set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and private insurers, the cumulative impact of hospitals’ technology investment decisions shapes health care for decades. Hospitals are medical institutions with the goal of diagnosing, treating, and caring for patients with a wide variety of ailments and injuries. Because of this, it is necessary to have a broad range of equipment to be able to help more patients with greater speed and efficiency. There are many different types of hospital equipment, from simple and basic supplies to highly technical and sophisticated machines (Hyde, 2004). Hospitals are often accused of adopting technology too rapidly or haphazardly (Rothenberg, 2003). Conversely, health care as a whole is accused of adopting many beneficial technologies too slowly (including those that are hospital-based) and generally being slow to innovate (Cutler & McClellan, 2001). In fact, hospitals invested an estimated $26 billion in IT in 2004, and approximately 2 percent of operating budgets were allocated to all technology, including devices, imaging, and IT (Carpenter & Hessler, 2001). The purchase of new technology, including IT and major medical equipment...
