[Abstract] It becomes more common that powerful computer viruses infect PCs and servers easily since Internet has emerged. The quick evolution of virus types, from simple macro virus to Spam mail virus such as Melissa, to hybrid virus with cracker features such as CodeRed and Nimda, has driven enterprises or end users to severe security panic from time to time. Could pure antivirus companies survive under more complicated computer security requirement? The top 3 antivirus companies in the world, Symantec¡BNetwork Associates and Trend Micro, according to Gartner Group¡¦s research, adopt different strategies to face strict security challenge. NAI fell from top spot due to its failure one-stop-shopping strategy, which now is executed again by Symantec. However Symantec becomes number one antivirus company in the world (IDC 2001 report). It turns out that the success DNA of antivirus company must contain innovation capability and vision. Trend Micro earns number three of world antivirus company based on her strong innovation and vision. Will Trend Micro¡¦s focus strategy ¡§Best-of-Breed¡¨ which is the major differentiation with other two competitors, Symantec and NAI, keep Trend competitive in the AV market? I will discuss this topic in this thesis.

A software development unit called to renew or replace an existing corporate system may face some special problems in an established company with a lot of well-trained behavioral patterns and thought structures fitting to the legacy system only. The challenge is not just to be on a journey and reach the destination with the development team but keeping accompanied by the stakeholders during the travel. In this article we describe how Agile Software Engineering can be introduced to an in-house development structure of a company. We describe how agile process elements and model driven approaches can be combined in order to achieve a light weight, flexible and incremental software engineering process. We also show the resulting organizational structure of a development department and have a closer look to the management actions that must be taken to introduce agility to the internal team and the stakeholders all over the company.

It must necessarily participate in legal transactions through natural persons acting on its behalf. Directors are the persons who act on behalf of the company in transactions with third parties. Their functions and responsibilities arise by virtue of the company as being a separate legal personality. The company acts through its organs. One of its organs is the board of directors, which is entrusted with the management of the business of the company. The other organ, through which a company acts, is the general meeting of the company, which is not the object of this study. The management of a company can only be effective if the directors are empowered with sufficient discretion to exercise their powers in an effective and efficient manner. However, it is also important that members of the company in its general meeting exercise effective oversight over the management of the company by the directors. It is, however, not easy for members to exercise judicious control over management because of the diversity and dispersal of shareholders. Hence, directors are subject to various duties, which are normally classified as the duty of care and skill, and the fiduciary duties. The effective control of the directors is dependent on the enforcement of these duties, which are based on common law.
