...Renee Jones 12/12/2012 HRM 587 As I was thinking about the two companies that I wanted to do for my course project on, I began to research companies on the internet and I ran across the merger between United and Continental airlines. The reason that I choose to do the merger is because I knew that they were going to go through many changes within this merger. Both airline companies have a lot to offer to each other with this merger that they can compete with Delta airlines one of the largest airline in the world. This merger will bring about several changes within both companies. In this paper I will be providing the different changes between both companies with the merger including the culture, systems and unions. Since they were two different companies this will bring on big changes when they finally merger together. History In In the year of 2008 United Airlines CEO Glenn F. Tilton and Continental Airlines, CEO Jeffrey A. Smisek began to talk about merging both company together in order to become the largest merger ever to take place between two airlines. However, once Continental found out about United Airlines declining financial statues they declined their offer. The talk of United negotiating a merger with US Airways stunned the CEO and board members of Continental Airlines. Predictor stated that United Airlines used this tactic to allure Continent Airline to renegotiate the merger that was discussed in 2008. In 2010 a big announcement was presented stating...

They are challenged with poor performing Information Systems (IS). Simple Gateway IS produce multiple versions of documents utilized by staff to make poorly informed business decisions. This paper is an analysis of the challenges to the key Simple Getaways stakeholders, actual performance and desired performance. A technological solution is defined and supported to address the alignment of the IS to the Simple Gateways business objectives. Simple Getaways, Inc. Request for Proposal Response 3 Simple Getaways, Inc. Request for Proposal Response The current implemented IS in the Simple Gateways is designed to provide control benefits. The IS was intended to facilitate information to provide the stakeholder the ability to make better decisions and actions. (Chew & Gottschalk, 2009) The current IS produces multiple versions of the same documents used by the office staff. The offices are segregated from each other with their own file servers making e-mail channels the current means to share documents from one store to another. The multiple versions does not assure the information to be accurate or up to date. The staff is then left with misinformation to make decisions. The Simple Gateways IS does not provide a process to perform administrative tasks like approving sick leave or vacation...

...workflow. CHALLENGES AFFECTING KEY STAKEHOLDERS The processes currently being used at Simple Getaways for communication and the distribution of information are no longer suitable for the organization. Documents from each office are stored onsite on a Microsoft Windows file server, making it difficult for other offices to access and use the information they contain. Currently the method used to share files with other offices is via email. This results in multiple copies of the same document residing on various computers at multiple office locations. The duplicate versions are not updated when the original document is modified which leads to different versions of the same document being used. Some business decisions are being made using information from the outdated documents. For example, a document containing airline ticket pricing may be used when creating price quotes for customer travel, but the price for airline tickets fluctuates regularly. If these inaccurate prices were used in a quote, the company has the potential to lose money on the transaction and may be obligated to fulfil the terms of the quote even though it was based on incorrect information. Additionally, when a document is shared between multiple offices and they each make alterations and return the document, the...

...and page numbering: Allows you to specify customized headers and footers that the word processor will put at the top and bottom of every page. The word processor automatically keeps track of page numbers so that the correct number appears on each page. Layout: Allows you to specify different margins within a single document and to specify various methods for indenting paragraphs. Merges: Allows you to merge text from one file into another file. This is particularly useful for generating many files that have the same format but different data. Generating mailing labels is the classic example of using merges. Spell checker: A utility that allows you to check the spelling of words. It will highlight any words that it does not recognize. Tables of contents and indexes: Allows you to automatically create a table of contents and index based on special codes that you insert in the document. Thesaurus: A built-in thesaurus that allows you to search for synonyms without leaving the word processor. Windows: Allows you to edit two or more documents at the same time. Each document appears in a separate window. This is particularly valuable when working on a large project that consists of several different...

...Transmittal letters often accompany reports and inform readers of a report's context. Typically, the letter includes information not found in the report. For example, the letter contains information about the particular project and/or due dates. A Transmittal Letter is a business letter and should be formatted accordingly; that is, you should include the recipient's address, your address, a salutation and closing. Depending on the project, you may also need to include contact information. Always check with your instructor to determine whether or not you should attach a transmittal letter to your report. In Finance, a Letter of Transmittal is a document used by a security holder to accompany certificates surrendered in an exchange or other corporate action. A Letter of Transmittal may also be a distribution list with the recipients of a memo, report or contract. A transmittal letter accompanies a document and explains what the document is, why it should receive the reader's consideration, and what the reader should do with it. A transmittal or cover letter accompanies a larger item, usually a document. The transmittal letter provides the recipient with a specific context in which to place the larger document and simultaneously gives the sender a permanent record of having sent the material. Transmittal letters are usually brief. The first paragraph describes what is being sent and the purpose for sending it. A longer transmittal letter may summarize key elements...

...Getaways, Inc. Written by Rachael Deming Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Key Stakeholders 4 Actual Performance and Desired Performance 5 Justification 5 References 7 Executive Summary Simple Getaways, Inc. is a travel agency that specializes in island vacations. Due to the overwhelming success of the company, they have grown from one office located in California to 12 all across the United States. Due to this expansion, the communication between headquarters and human resources has become increasingly challenging. When employees request leave or there is a change in an employee's file, a paper document is used. When headquarters requests a document from one of the offices, that particular document is either mailed or faxed. The hard copies are stored in a file cabinet. The file sharing has also become an issue because each location utilizes a Windows file server. The offices do not have central file sharing. That does not allow for real time file sharing. The current way employees work on files together is by emailing each other. When the revisions are completed, the file goes back to the original employee. This causes a delay in processing and outdated paperwork. I propose the company utilizes a central server that every office has access. With a new file sharing system, anytime a file is changed, the revised version is immediately available for any employee to access. I...

...users navigate libraries effectively and find the documents they require. * Use folders only if you need to scope unique permissions on documents or if you need to make a subset of documents easily offline-able by Microsoft Outlook. * If your library has more than 2,000 items, be sure you remove the out-of-the-box default view, which shows all items. Add views with filters so that no view returns more than 2,000 items. Paging and grouping doesn't count. You must use a filter. (BTW, in its sneak peek of SharePoint 2010, Microsoft announced that SharePoint 2010 will have large-list support, so this won't need to be done much longer.) 1. Usability. Nested folder structure is only known to the person who created it. Also, too many sub-folders tend to “hide” things. 2. URL length limitation. SharePoint adds all folder and sub-folder names to URL. Overall URL length is limited to around 260 characters. You are out of luck if you create too many sub-folders. 3. File URL. Moving file from one folder to another means change of file URL. 4. Security. Maintaining Security by folders in SharePoint is an administrative nightmare. Don’t even think about doing it! 5. User experience. User Experience (navigation, finding the documents) just stinks with folders (it is so 1990’s!) 6. File duplication. With folders you can deposit multiple copies of same file into different locations – not a good thing when you try to organize documents and data in the first place! 7. 1 Lonely View....
