Many workable definitions of management exist, but a very inclusive definition is as follows: "Management is the process of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling an organization's operations in order to achieve a coordination of the human and material resources essential in the effective and efficient attainment of objectives" (Newport & Trewatha, 1976). A less academic but more easily remembered description is that management entails getting things done through and with people. Management (the employer) has the sole power to manage or direct employees through coordination of the management functions. However, management does not have lone jurisdiction in determining conditions of employment. Generally, there are only four ways to determine the conditions of employment: t...

Includes related article on BI programs Business intelligence (BI) is an important tool in staying ahead of the competition. It involves the implementation of a process for the organization, interpretation and utilization of information. The resulting timely, valid information becomes the basis for decisionmaking among people with the authority and responsibility to act on the intelligence gathered. As exemplified by Ford Credit, having a good BI unit helps executives obtain sufficient reports and briefings about the potential effects of new competitor activities, the benefits and threats posed by new technology, and the ability of competitors to rearrange the industry. BI management requires definition of decisionmakers' needs, planning and direction, collection of published informati...
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew an existing approved Information Collection Request (ICR) concerning the definition of Solid Waste. This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2012. Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below.
Today's rapidly changing, highly competitive business environment demands greater IT flexibility, a wider variety of computing services, and more technologically advanced users. This study explores the impact of firms' IS strategy on IS function responsiveness to organizational computing demands, end-user training effectiveness, and the development of end-user computing skill. These, in turn, should lead to higher levels of IS and firm performance. Data for this study were collected from 265 senior manufacturing managers. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses of interest.

A supply chain using the cross-dock approach can speed goods from upstream suppliers to downstream customers quickly and cost-effectively, with benefits to the entire chain, if the appropriate type of crossdock is chosen and then designed, staffed and managed for effective performance. Unlike a warehouse, which offers storage, a cross-dock is a high performance rapid transit point that does not provide storage. Although cross-docks have been studied with some thoroughness, what has not been seen clearly is that a cross-dock does not operate in isolation and therefore can't be optimized independently from the upstream and downstream processes. To be successful, cross-dock optimization makes demands for high performance on all members of the supply chain in terms of speed, effective plann...
