Single Minded? : Implementing Common Financial Systems, Mark E. Pickering

Mark E Pickering

As companies grow via acquisition they collect a variety of separate and often quite diverse financial systems belonging to the newly acquired companies. While there is a substantial cost to implementing a common financial system across the merged group. Is that cost outweighed by the benefits of a single system? This article uses a case study to highlight options for different degrees of finance system commonality, potential benefits of each option and a framework for analysing the appropriate level of commonality.

Radikale Kundenzentrierung Im Informationszeitalter, Hubert Oesterle, Andreas Muther Feb 2000

Radikale Kundenzentrierung Im Informationszeitalter, Hubert Oesterle, Andreas Muther

Hubert Oesterle

Neue Informationstechniken er-öffnen neue Wege zum Kunden. Unternehmen erkennen die Potentiale und setzen beispielsweise elektronische Produktkataloge, interaktive Chat-Systeme oder Work-flows in der Kundenbetreuung ein. Aber bringen diese Instrumente dem Kunden wirklich den versprochenen Nutzen und kann sich ein Unternehmen dadurch tatsäch-lich von der Konkurrenz abheben? Aus unserer Sicht nur bedingt, denn viele Projekte in der Anbieter-Kunden-Beziehung be-ar-bei-ten nur Teilprobleme des Kun-den. Der Quantensprung findet statt, wenn die Kun-den-zentrierung die immer noch dominante Lieferantenzentrierung ersetzt; die In-for-ma-tionstechnologie bietet die Chance dazu.


Malaysian Culture And The Leadership Of Organisations: A Globe Study, Norma Mansor Jan 2000

Malaysian Culture And The Leadership Of Organisations: A Globe Study, Norma Mansor

Norma Mansor

Leadership behavior significantly influences the performance of companies and the motivation of people. However, much of our knowledge regarding the characteristics of effective leaders is based on research carried out in Western countries.

Much cross-cultural research focuses on identifying differences between cultures. In contrast, the results of the GLOBE research indicate that a number of attributes associated with charismatic/transformational leadership are universally endorsed by all cultures …

Hubert Oesterle

This paper discusses IT-enabled collaboration of business units (Business Networking) on the business processlevel. It’s goal is to develop a model which helps companies in the networked economy to design and managetheir cross-company business processes.
