Term paper On COCOMO Model Introduction The original COCOMO stands for Constructive Cost Model. The word "constructive" implies that the complexity of the model can be understood because of the openness of the model, which permits exactly to know WHY the model gives the estimates it does. The model was first published by Dr. Barry Boehm in 1981, and reflected the software development practices of these days. The name of this model was COCOMO I or COCOMO ’81. Since this time many efforts

之，組織變革成功後緊接的承平時期，才是企業獲利的高峰，此時企業透過成功公式的複製(如各種連鎖組織的廣設分店、製造業擴增原有產品線產能)以及營運架構的微調(finetuning)，來享受前期組織變革的成果。因此，對成功的企業而言，組織變革當然不會經常發生。學者甚至認為，時機不當的組織變革不但對組織沒有好處，甚至有害。 然而，由於社會與科技環境會不斷演變，再加上企業體也會逐漸成長，因此，長期成功的企業也需要變革，這就是企業成長的間斷均衡理論(punctuated equilibrium model)。 譬如，產品結構的轉型、事業組合的改變，以至於管理邏輯的改造更新。因此，我們看到正新橡膠每十年便完成一次產品結構的轉型、南亞塑膠的電子事業部卓然有 成、台塑籌劃大陸漳州後石電廠，近年來各大企業勵行人事精簡、組織扁平化等等。當然，這樣的變革最好能夠以企業轉型的方式來進行。 轉型變革既然比轉折變革需要時間，那麼企業轉型的起動時點便要提前，這樣的變革可謂為先應式(proactive)組織變革；反之，如果企業與環境的互利共生關係已經明顯失衡，原先長期構築的營運架構已然失效，經營似乎出現危機，變革迫在眉睫時，則可稱之為後應式(reacive)組

disabling ignorance; that will allow me to overcome it. Just like a brand does, each person achieves the best results by working in ways in which they best perform. If I set up a comparison between brand Y and brand X, I will notice that the standard model that brand X uses involves feature benefits whereby every feature they offer in their product or service yields an identifiable and distinguishable benefit for their customer. This is similar to working in ways in which one best performs. To be successful

Axia College Material Appendix E Pain Matrix Sarafino (2006) noted that “people are more likely to seek medical treatment without delay if they feel pain” (p. 292). Pain is not pleasant, but it is a necessary response for us to know when something is wrong, allowing us to limit damage to our bodies. There are many types and sources of pain.

changed, and the business models governing companies a unilateral way there have forced an adaptation to technologies and market trends to continue in this way in a successful way. Undeniably, one of the most important factors that gave this result is that Blockbuster is not coupled to the new market trends, refusing to change its business model to new technology revenues, and most importantly, did not pay attention to the needs of its consumers. Although the business model Blockbuster rents was innovative

communication, internetworks must deliver a certain level of steadfastness. This is a volatile world; so many large internetworks include redundancy to allow for communication even when problems occur. The Open Systems Interconnection reference model defines in what way information from a software application in one computer travels through a network medium to a software application in another computer.
