...social network a relevant structure is materialized as notion of community. There is no clear definition for a community, but a reasonable explanation proposes that the nodes in a community are not connected to other nodes rather they are connected to each other. However, the relationships between nodes in a community have something in common that distinguishes them from other nodes. 1.1.1 Recommendation In the new era, Recommendation systems play major role because it has changed the way people find products, information and even other people. Unlike search engines where user need to query and will get required result but, where as recommending systems do not need any query process, just by the user activities, or user profile or by considering user history the system can recommend that are needed to user.

...Maximizing Virtual Private Networks for Banner Service Corporation Abstract This paper will delve into how a small growing business like Banner Service Corporation can benefit from utilizing available technology to its fullest potential. Specifically, the paper will show how utilizing virtual private networks will help to maximize the company’s productivity, communication and ultimately profitability. Table of Contents Definition 4 Banner Service's Background 5 Current Business Issues 6 Proposed Solution 8 Recommendation 10 Works Cited 12 Definition A virtual private network, or VPN, is a network of computers that utilizes existing internet connections to enable off-site people or locations to connect with the main organization’s network. Two or more devices, which are on their own separate networks, are connected to each other through the VPN. Data is then permitted to stream between the networked devices without interruption or interference from other devices that may be connected to one of the device’s local network, but not connected into the virtual private network. Before the advent of Virtual Private Networks, most network computers connected to each other via leased lines or a dial up connection. These lines were extremely expenseive and cost companies tens of thousands of dollars to implement and maintain. Virtual Private Networks changed all that when they came on the scene in the late 1990’s. They significantly reduced network...

...technology has made certain possibilities of business to business interactions that were impossible before, whether it was due to the lack of efficiency or lack of tools needed for such interactions to be possible. The internet has ushered in a whole new world of possibilities in business to business interactions. It is one of the major reasons why the expansion of business activities into the digital cyberspace have been an absolute necessity for an organization to be competitive in its market. What business to business transactions mean in the digital age is the interaction of commerce between two businesses electronically either through the internet, intranet, extranet or some other private network, which can also include VAN (value added network). The introduction and advancement of many web based technologies has given more companies the ability to have their influence felt in cyberspace. This includes communicating between other businesses and their customers and also made their transactions between the various parties much more efficient and simpler. It has gone as far as some business models incorporating business to business transactions in to their supply chain theories. This makes sense because the business to business transaction systems are quickly becoming a normality in the business market and not just a comparative advantage. In other words, it is quickly being a viability factor and not an advantage factor. In regards to the type of market that business to business...

...Philip Condit and the Development of the 777 Daniel W. Sobel Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper of Philip Condit and the Development of the 777; describes the management, and technological changes that Philip Condit made to the development style of the Boeing Company. Before Philip Condit took over the 777 program, Boeing had been making airplanes in the same fashion as it had been doing for 70 years prior. Mr. Condit saw the chance to bring Boeing into the 21st century not only with the new technology of computer aided drafting, but with modern management techniques as well. The 777 program proved to be the perfect testing ground for a companywide change in the way Boeing did its business. Philip Condit and the Development of the 777 In 1988; Boeing was looking to compete with the new jetliners that Airbus had released. The current CEO, Frank Shrontz, was planning on modifying the 767 to accommodate a longer range, an increase of passengers, and a payload to match what airbus was producing. To find out what United Airlines was looking for; Frank Shrontz sent Philip Condit (who at that time was the Executive Vice President of Boeing’s commercial airlines group) to talk with the Vice President of United Airlines; Frank Guyette. The meeting ended with the message that United Airlines did not want a modified aircraft. They wanted what the other airlines were asking for; a new and technologically advanced aircraft. Frank Shrontz agreed; and in 1989...

...at the same time very stressful. Supervisors did not have any authority whatsoever, they were the ones dealing directly with teachers who had direct relations with children and knew the core of the problems and report to their supervisors. Supervisor were told basically to carry information from management to the teachers. Supervisors main task was to make sure the teachers were only doing what manager wants them to do and not otherwise. This system worked like a robot house. But children are not robots they do have different attitudes, needs, and learning abilities etc. Teachers and supervisor were feeling the pain and seeing what needed to be different around but they were not given freedom to do improve the quality in the organization. There were many different issues during day to day business. In order to solve the problems management needed to change the way of thinking. Implementing the Systems Thinking and changing the role of management would have worked better at this organization. Linda Hill (2004), talks about new managers’ attitude of focusing on the authority and power they have and measuring success with their reports also adds that...

Third parties 3. The government In this paper, I will outline the duties accountants owe to each party, examples of how accountants breach duties to each party, and additional obligations accountants have to each and all of the three parties. LIABILITY TO CLIENTS Anyone from Fortune 500 corporations to low-income individuals can become accounting clients. A person or entity need only to enlist the professional services of an accountant via a contract to become a client. The contract may require the accountant to perform an audit, complete federal and/or state tax returns, give a consultation regarding business formation and financial planning, or a wide host of other accounting functions. Beatty and Samuelson explain how an accountant must execute their contracts with their clients with, “a degree of skill and competence that an ordinarily prudent accountant would under the circumstances (2010).”...

...WALDEN UNIVERSITY NURSING PROGRAM NURSE – 8210- TRANSFORMING NURSING PAPER: MEANINGFUL USE PREPARED BY: ZAIDA RUIZ PROFESSOR: MURIELLE BEENE November 11, 2015 The health care system needed some structure. Needed to speak the same language and have a common goal, “the Patient.” The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) invested a large amount of money for promotion and use of the informatics technology. Today Medicare and Medicaid are following the same footsteps. They are awarding incentives for the use of Electronic Health Records. However, what is the urgency? Why are they even willing to penalize the non-participant? Patient safety is the answer. The meaningful use was created seeking the quality of care safety and reduction of disparity. The meaningful use wants patient information to be electronically documented in a database system that interconnects to any other health database regardless geographical location. Meaningful use recognizes that making such a drastic change from paper to electronic documentation is very costly. There are many Issues still present that prevent some institutions from implementing EHR. One of these issues is the financial part that entails. It cost too much to implement EHR’s this is the voice of hundreds of owners of health institutions. Removing the old system from every floor, every station and every office is very costly. On top of that having the employers and employees train on how to use the EHR system...

...Change Initiative Paper Cynthia D. Sanchez Grand Canyon University: LDR 615 November 4, 2014 Change Initiative Paper It has been said that the only thing that is constant in an organization is change. Our global economy has escalated the opportunities for growth at an exponential rate. But, for an organization to remain relevant and competitive in today’s marketplace, they must be willing to change. How do real-work organizations implement and sustain successful change? Two important patterns have been identified for success: “first, useful change tends to be associated with a multi-step process that creates power and motivation sufficient to overwhelm all the sources on inertia”, and second, this process is never employed effectively unless it is driven by high quality leadership” (Kotter, 1996, p. 20-21). Strategic planning, which should include identifying the change model to be followed, outlining the role of leadership, and planning for how to overcome potential barriers and sustain the change, all play a vital role in a successful change initiative. The purpose of this paper is to first identify a specific organization that could benefit from a change initiative that would improve their effectiveness, and then outline strategies and processes that would influence the adoption of the change initiative. The Need for Change The Army Nurse Corps has a program geared toward new graduate Registered Nurses (RNs) that are entering the military health care system called...

...Chapter 2 A Software Architecture for Inventory Management System Taner Arsan, Emrah Baskan, Emrah Ar and Zeki Bozkus ß ß Abstract Inventory Management is one of the basic problems in almost every company. Before computer age and integration, paper tables and paperwork solutions were being used as inventory management tools. These we very far from being a solution, took so much time, even needed employees just for this section of organization. There was no an efficient solution available in the many companies during these days. Every process was based on paperwork, human fault rate was high, the process and the tracing the inventory losses were not possible, and there was no efficient logging systems. After the computer age, every process is started to be integrated into electronic environment. And now we have qualified technology to implement new solutions to these problems. Software based systems bring the advantages of having the most efficient control with less effort and employees.

...education to ensure sustainability in the future. However, Detroit Public School District is one school district that has shown a disservice to teachers and ultimately to its students. As public employees, the Detroit school teachers advocate for their jobs, respect, and cost-effective training opportunities. This paper examines the financial and benefit challenges of Detroit Public School District and the salary components of Detroit Public School Teachers. According to analyst and state education officials, the financial challenge with Detroit Public School District is tied to “declines in state aid, falling enrollment, caps on cash-flow borrowing, and the districts' unwillingness to make deep cuts, (Devitt, 2013). Additionally, the employee benefit challenges of Detroit School Teachers is that teachers were denied retirement benefits and given low salaries compared to teachers in other districts. Information has been obtained from Devry University Library articles, journals, educational websites, and a documentary. Strategies detailed in this paper emphasize theories to improve the educational system and compensation of Detroit School Teachers. Also, the present paper gives an example of another public school district with turnaround success. Recommendations are focused on the need for community and state support of Detroit school teachers, so that the teachers are not poorly compensated and undervalued. In addition, the conclusion provides reasons why teachers should pursue...

...computers in the classroom could be a distraction to many students. No matter what the situation is technology will always be a distraction in the classroom. Right when students get into the classroom they immediately login to the computer, get onto the Internet and login to either Facebook, or their E-Mail. As for myself, I use to get into the classroom, log on into Facebook and spend most of my time on the Internet; I paid nearly no attention to the professor. I saw myself slacking off almost every day. Actually, students that showed up to class would immediately get on the Internet (browsing non-related classwork) till class was over. According to Christine Careage a journalist “Technology is disengaging students instead of engaging them” (Careage, 2010). Many students are careless about the lecture and are focused on what is new on the Internet. Students aren’t doing well in class because they’re too busy exploring the Internet and it’s definitely a problem. Even students, who don’t go on the Internet as much as other student’s, see the person in front of them doing whatever on the computer, and it’s a distraction. Exploring the internet during class non-stop made me realize that it made me less knowledgeable because I wouldn’t be getting the right information I needed for the tests and quizzes. After class was over, I was clueless about what was due that week. However, technology in the classroom could be distracting depending on the person. Student’s actually like...
