Influence of SME characteristics on the implementation of ERPTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The ERP market has recently experienced a significant evolution in recent years, both in large companies and in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Compared to large companies, SMEs are distinguished by specific characteristics that can influence the implementation of the ERP system in these organizations. The purpose of this study is to analyse how these characteristics can determine the success or the failure of ERP implementation in SMEs. First, a set of characteristics, specific to SMEs has been identified from the relevant literature. Then, the influence of each characteristic on the different ERP lifecycle activities were studied. A multiple case study of four SMEs from different sectors was conducted. The data collection was carried out through 28 individual interviews with several stakeholders (users, external consultants, internal IT specialists and managers) in the four cases. The analysis of the interview data showed first that financial resources, Decision making and, the type of ownership of the company were identified as the most influential contextual factors. Then the two phases of the ERP life cycle "implementation" and "use and maintenance" were identified as being the most affected by the context of SMEs. The study results have significant implications for experts, managers and information.

10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

Week 1 Lecture
The Nature of Business Research
Business research covers a wide range of phenomena. For managers, the purpose of research is to provide knowledge regarding the organization, the market, the economy, or another area of uncertainty. A financial manager may ask, “Will the environment for long-term financing be better two years from now?†A personnel manager may ask, “What kind of training is necessary for production employees?†or “What is the reason for the company’s high employee turnover?†A marketing manager may ask, “How can I monitor my retail sales and retail trade activities?†Each of these questions requires information about how the environment, employees, customers, or the economy will respond to executives’ decisions. Research is one of the principal tools for answering these practical questions.
Business research is the application of the scientific method in searching for the truth about business phenomena. These activities include defining business opportunities and problems, generating and evaluating alternative courses of action, and monitoring employee and organizational performance. Business research is more than conducting surveys.6 This process includes idea and theory development, problem definition, searching for and collecting information, analyzing data, and communicating the findings and their implications.
Applied business research is conducted to address a specific business decision for a specific firm or organization. The opening vignette describes a situation in which ESPN used applied research to decide how to best create knowledge of its sports fans and their preferences. Basic business research (sometimes referred to as pure research) is conducted without a specific decision in mind, and it usually does not address the needs of a specific organization.
All research, whether basic or applied, involves the scientific method. The scientific method is the way researchers go about using knowledge and evidence to reach objective conclusions about the real world. The scientific method is the same in social sciences, such as business, as in physical sciences, such as physics. In this case, it is the way we come to understand business phenomena.
A firm can be production-oriented. A production-oriented firm prioritizes the efficiency and effectiveness of production processes in making decisions. Here, research providing input from workers, engineers, finance, and accounting becomes important as the firm seeks to drive costs down. Production-oriented firms are usually very large firms manufacturing products in very large quantities. The third orientation is marketing- oriented, which focuses more on how the firm provides value to customers than on the physical product or production process. With a marketing-oriented organization the majority of research focuses on the customer. Research addressing consumer desires, beliefs, and attitudes becomes essential.

Introduction
Marks & Spencer PLC was founded in 1884.It has grown from a single market stall to an
international multi-channel retailer. They sell stylish, high quality value clothing and home
products as well as food, responsibly sourced from around 3,000 suppliers globally. Their
portfolio covers general merchandise, food, international and multi-channel across 54
international territories with nearly 86,000 employees.(Marks and Spencer, 2014).
International business environment Analysis Techniques
Business environment is the combination of internal and external factors that influence a
company‟s operating situation and the overall business. It is both Micro and Macro in nature.
Micro or internal factors are controllable and could include management style, organizational
culture, mission and value statement. Whereas Macro or external factors are uncontrollable these

factors are often both dynamic & complex. Business environment factors can include new
policies, procedures, government changes, improvements in technology, social and economic
trends(Nonaka, I., and Takeuchi, H, 1995).The reason for analyzing the business environment is
to highlight opportunities and threats. Knowing the opportunities and threats to the business
allows the company to set a strong business strategy and understand better where to invest,
expand, diversify and downscale. There are a number of different tools we can use to analyse
both the Micro & Marco factors within a business.
Micro can be analysed with Porters 5 forces model.Porter identified that there are 5 key
forces that influence business that needed to be analysed in order to develop a competitive
advantage (Porter, 1985). These forces are supplier power, buyer power, competitive rivalry,
threat of substitution &threat of new entryand are used for strategic industry analysis. The
positives of using this technique to analyze is that it looks at a wider range of competitors and it
forces the business to look externally. However this is a relatively old model that may not be
suitable ...
This paper briefly describes what competitive intelligence is, then proposes a competitive intelligence initiative along with suggestions for a structural framework, scope, and individual skills and tools necessary to be successful.
Data Security in Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare: Analysis of necessary Web Ap...PavanPardeshi1
This research was carried out to determine the importance of application security testing tools being used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries and to invent a new idea to reduce the risk of data loss. Hence, the results shows that the use of more than one tool is time consuming and integration of SAST, DAST, IAST and RASP by taking cost efficiency and system compatibility into consideration can make a difference in these industries. Moreover, it has been observed that the application security testing tools are not fully reliable. To reduce the risk of data loss, integration of the two or more tools can be developed on the basis of SAST, DAST IAST and RASP based tools. Cost efficiency, lack of resources and, system compatibility should be taken into consideration while developing the tools. Policies improvement and trainings for staff members regarding tools can reduce human errors to avoid data breach.
The accounting profession has felt the impact of change. Over the past several years, operational changes in workflow and process have dramatically altered the scope of the accountant’s role. The profession’s workforce is aging, underlining the importance of succession planning and talent management. Additionally, as the digital universe doubles in size every other year, many firms struggle to keep pace with the latest technology trends.
For today’s firm, change is constant. And across the entire tax, accounting and audit profession, the forecast calls for even greater shifts in people, processes and technology.
These ever-evolving realities inspired Wolters Kluwer, CCH, a strategic partner to accounting firms, to explore two major questions in the 2014 Wolters Kluwer, CCH — Accounting Firm Preparedness Survey.
Case Questions1. Recall our definition of strategy in Chapter .docxwendolynhalbert
Case Questions
1. Recall our definition of strategy in Chapter 7 as “a comprehensive plan for accomplishing an organization's goals.” Explain why NOV's approach to acquisitions qualifies as corporate-level strategy. Be specific by discussing the company's moves, the nature and state of the industry that it's in (drilling equipment and services), the nature and state of the industry to which it's closely related (oil and gas drilling), and, most importantly, its goals. What are NOV's goals?
2. How does each of the following situational influences on organizational design affect organizational design (and strategy) at NOV—core technology, environment, and organizational size? How about organizational life cycle? At what stage in that cycle would you put NOV? Which of NOV's actions give an indication of the company's life-cycle stage as management sees it? (Note: NOV intends to spend $100 billion in the next 10 years.)
3. Wall Street has a surprisingly uneasy relationship with NOV. Stock price, for example, hasn't nearly kept pace with increase in earnings over the past decade. For one thing, some sectors of the company's business make its overall performance somewhat volatile, and analysts at Motley Fool observe that “NOV's volatility isn't its best feature.” Asked about the spinoff of DistributionNOW and the subsequent reorganization, Pete Miller replied: “We think it's going to give the analysts a better opportunity to be able to look at the company and say, ‘OK, I understand this part of it, and I understand this part of it,’ and probably get a better valuation.”
Strategically speaking, how would you characterize the message that the combination spinoff and organizational redesign are supposed to send to investors and analysts? Why do you suppose NOV management felt the need to send it? Why do you suppose it was sent when it was sent?
4. An investment analyst asked Pete Miller how his acquisitions strategy affects the company “from the top down in your company culture.” How does the company culture “allow your employees to buy into these new companies coming into the fold?” Miller replied, “I don't think a company like ours can have a culture. We're too spread out. In 63 countries, you've got all different cultures.” But he also added that employees understand how a strategy of acquisition provides opportunity. “I tell everybody in this company, I'm not sure what a CEO is supposed to do, but one of the things that I do try to do is provide opportunity to our employees. You provide that opportunity by growing. As you continue to grow, and people actually see the opportunity, then they see what it affords to employees as well as customers.”
What about you? Would this theory of company culture, along with its theory about employee appreciation of opportunity, appeal to you? Would it be relevant to you in deciding whether to take a job at NOV? Would you want to work for a company with 64,000 employees in 63 countries?

Achieving advantages requires broad IS management and user dialogue plus imagination. The process is complicated by the fact that many IS products are strategic though the potential benefits are very subjective and not easily verified. Often a strict ROI focus by senior management may turn attention toward narrow, well-defined targets as opposed to broader strategic opportunities that are harder to analyze.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
