The economic development in the past 50 years of Taiwan, most policy functions of public enterprise are already be replaced by the enterprise , lose value of the phased task, the changes of the background on the basis of space-time in the 78th year of the Executive Yuan¡]R.O. C.¡^, determine public enterprise privatization progressively, issue with push of privatization, contribute to public enterprise of regulations is fettered, poured into the elasticity and efficiency of the enterprise , improve the undertaking competitiveness, pursue enterprises to manage. But because a great deal of factors are influenced, causing authorizing originally promotes the public enterprise of privatization to all finish as scheduled, it is one quite special case for AIDC among them, AIDC is carry out national defence task but privatization purpose to remove military plane make and control, and channel it into the business of the commercial member of a nationality aircraft, manufacturing technology by helping to totally make the transition, different from other public enterprise correlated with the people's livelihood, so the opportunity and way of its privatization are different.

Taiwan had natural advantage of geographical conditions plus adopting the strategy of developing container center in 1970 and also was developed and operated achievement very well in past 20 years for prevailing in containerization. As global business environment and information technology grow rapidly, Enterprise Resources Planning¡]ERP¡^system develops quickly under enterprise demand. ERP provides management information that fits enterprise demand and enhances enterprise competition ability .With this methodology, the ERP adopting organizations can more easily and systematically implement the ERP package. In addition, the experience provides greater insight for misfit solving confronted in the case, and thereby reduce the risk of ERP implementation. The main purpose of this study is to probe into the proper structure, evaluation model, expectation and the implementation process of ERP. The results of this study can provide some thoughts for managers who will make decisions about the implementation of ERP system.

In light of the major financial crisis in July 1999, Midland China got to realize a fact that it would lead to an unbalanced industrial structure if she kept on nourishing big enterprises, and ignored smaller ones. As a result in beginning of year 1998, she started to concentrate on small and medium size companies by adapting methods like reforming medium, and small size private businesses, improving investment environments, upgrading professional skills, and adapting innovations. Now medium, and small business sectors are new economy forces. The goal of the thesis is to understand China private sectors from different aspects. It seems that China private sectors could properly react to the open market after China joined WTO. How would entrepreneurs from Taiwan face the challenges from these sectors? Medium, and small size companies could take advantage of lower labor costs in China, and sell products to China market or export to foreign counties.

This study is to explore the implication and application of the Analects of Confucius on management. It derives the implication by analyzing the Analects of Confucius from vision and mission, leadership, human resource, and strategy. Meanwhile, it validates the application by comparing with the practical studies of enterprise operation. The conclusions are rendered as follows: 1. The implication of the Analects of Confucius: (1) Vision and mission: The vision and mission is to build a harmonious and peaceful world where the old are placed, the people trust each other, and the child are cared. The leader regards ¡¥Jen¡¦ as his ultimate behavior goal. (2) Leadership: The foundation of leadership is the behavior of leader. The means of leadership is governing people with morals and ethics. The ultimate goal of leadership is to place the people well and attract the far people to come. (3) Human resource: The foundation of selecting staff is to observe their behaviors and forgive their misdemeanors with considerate thoughts. Based on efficiency, the selection could start from the surrounds and extend through others¡¦ recommendations then. (4) Strategy: The direction of strategy is to broadcast the spirits of enhancing the world. The foundation of strategy focuses on actions. The contents of strategy are (1) to propose the vision, to build the common value. (2) To train the governors. (3) To propose the theories based on personal behaviors and morals. 2. The application of the Analects of Confucius: (1) The strategy indicates the choice of direction, the placement of internal resources, and the long-term commitment. The key factor for achieving is the progressive action. (2) The enterprise should regard the vision and mission as powerful managerial tool besides its function of vowing. (3) The enterprise usually selects the staff by their talents and abilities. The Confucius points out the importance of personality and behaviors. (4) According to the managerial functions (planning, organizing, controlling, leadership), the main axis of the Analects of Confucius is ¡¥leadership¡¦

<p>The impact of Web 2.0 technologies has crossed the Internet borders and is increasingly af-fecting not only individuals but also organizations as entities. The emergence of the Enter-prise 2.0 concept, which presumes the application of Web 2.0 tools within the organiza-tional context, is being intensively adopted by many organizations of all types and sizes world-wide. Authors suggest that there is a direct impact of Enterprise 2.0 system on such organizational aspects as communication, collaboration, cooperation, co-creation and even innovation activities. There is though a sort of informational gap in the literature that would address these concepts (Enterprise 2.0 and Innovation) simultaneously and this was one of the main reasons that motivated the authors of this master thesis to investigate this topic.</p><p>In conducting this research all kinds of informational resources were used and these find-ings were combined with the results obtained from a real business case study, which is an example of an Enterprise 2.0 platform (Incentive) implemented within an organization (IBS). The overall research can be described in three main parts. In the first part analysis of the theoretical aspects related to Innovation and Enterprise 2.0 is made. A preliminary re-search framework is build based on these findings and this framework represents an at-tempt to bridge these theoretical dimensions. In the second part the investigation of the „Colin‟ case study was presented. With this case investigation the research gains access to primary data and information. This strengthens the initial research framework and also de-livers new insights and perspectives in connection to the highlighted topic. The findings re-lated to the impact of Enterprise 2.0 on Innovation processes are analyzed and discussed in the final part of the research from theoretical and empirical perspectives.</p><p>An enhanced framework, representing the result of the theoretical and empirical studies, is ultimately suggested. This model represents an attempt to portray how can an Enterprise 2.0 system support innovation activities in a more generic way, addressing together major factors that are critical for an innovation process. This investigation has also determined that such Enterprise 2.0 tools as Wikis, Blogs, Social Networking, Micro-blogging, Forums & Discussions, Search Engines, Tagging etc. are having the highest impact on innovation related activities. Additionally, the managerial aspect in relation to Enterprise 2.0 influence on Innovation has proved to be extremely important, especially during the implementation phase.</p>

Abstract Micro financing is perceived to contribute towards poverty reduction by developing small enterprises. We examined the Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction (CFPR) programme implemented by the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) between 2002 and 2007. We selected this case because it used a different approach of micro financing where assets were transferred rather than cash to participants. We examined two aspects of the programme: (i) the impact of micro financing through asset transfer instead of cash on reducing poverty; (ii) the factors that contributed to positive impact or little or no impact on the economic conditions of the participant households and the trajectories of changes experienced in these economic conditions. These were analysed using data gathered from a survey of 21 beneficiaries and also from the in-depth interviews of 8 of these households, which included both successful and not so successful cases. The study found that the asset transferring programme resulted in significant improvement in the livelihood of the majority of members. However, in some cases the beneficiaries did not see any or significant improvement in their livelihood. The study revealed that households that demonstrated proper planning, hard work, and personal interest in the business they started have witnessed improved quality of life through micro financing, while idleness of members and absence of proper planning resulted in failures. To some extent, it was found that social barriers can also contribute to failures, even if the beneficiaries work hard and are highly motivated. Based on these findings, the study makes some policy recommendations

This is a research study on enterprise education in a New Zealand secondary school. Over the past two decades, enterprise education has become a feature of secondary education globally. The emergence of this new phenomenon exists in a context of global neo-liberal initiatives. Within New Zealand, enterprise is now a mainstream feature of secondary education. The practice of enterprise education has a significant impact on schools and student learning. The emergence of enterprise within secondary education is a story of power. This research examines who has power in terms of enterprise education and who are the winners and losers. A sole case study assists in providing answers to these research questions. The case study school is a national role model for enterprise education. The school has experienced extraordinary success and has developed a social enterprise model. Stakeholders’ relationships within and outside the school are explored. In order to explore power, Lukes’ (2005) three-dimensional model of power has been adopted. This model is broad and captures all the dimensions of power, including the work of other theorists of power. The results show that power is vested in several stakeholders. Different weight is attached to different stakeholder voices. Tensions in the commercial world between social enterprise and commercial enterprise are also reflected at the school. There are few concrete examples of decision making. Most power is exercised through non-decision making and as a result of a new culture of enterprise supported by media attention. A social enterprise model has embraced existing school values and provides for partnerships with the community. There is fluidity between winners and losers from the model; however, the former include enterprise students, and school, state, Catholic Church and business interests. The latter are those who are not fully engaged with enterprise, through the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES), and those within the college community and stakeholders who have been denied a voice. The case study school has developed a unique social enterprise model. The model has diffused sharp business values to provide an acceptable model for the school. The model has developed, but on occasion lacks authenticity and appears tokenistic. A need exists for genuine opportunities for consultation with all stakeholders. This research has captured a journey of power, which operates at different levels. There is a power that exists within the school community and wider stakeholders. Power is intimately linked to the notion of interests. It is clearly in the interests of the case study school to survive within a neo-liberal environment, which has affected the structure of all schools. This insight into the power of enterprise education can inform best practice and influence policy.

University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Information Technology. / As IT environments grow in complexity and diversity, their strategic management becomes a critical business issue. Enterprise architectures (EA’s) provide support by ensuring that there is alignment between an enterprise’s business objectives and the IT systems that it deploys to achieve these objectives. While EA is a relatively new discipline, it has already found widespread commercial application. It is likely that EA will receive even more focus as IT environments continue to grow in complexity and heterogeneity. Despite this widespread acceptance of EA as a valuable IT discipline, there are several serious challenges that contemporary EA approaches are yet to overcome. These arise from the fact that currently, there is no unified EA modelling language that is also easy to use. A unified EA modelling language is one that is able to describe a wide range of IT domains using a single modelling notation. Without a unified, easy to use EA modelling language, it is impossible to create integrated models of the enterprise. Instead, a variety of modelling languages must be used to create an EA, leading to enterprise models that are inconsistent, incomplete and difficult to understand. The need to use multiple modelling languages also places a high cognitive load on modellers and excludes non-IT specialists from developing or using these models, even though such people may be the most important stakeholders in an EA program. The research presented in this thesis tackles these problems by developing a metaphor-based approach to the construction of unified EA modelling languages. Contemporary approaches to the understanding of metaphor are surveyed, and it is noted that one way to understand metaphor is to view it as part of a dynamic type hierarchy. This understanding of metaphor is related to the development of enterprise models and it is shown that highly abstract metaphors can be used to provide conceptually unified models of a range of enterprises and their component structures. This approach is operationalised as methodology that can be used to generate any number of unified EA modelling languages. This methodology is then applied to generate a new, unified EA modelling language called ‘LEAN’ (Lightweight Enterprise Architecture Notation). LEAN is evaluated using a mixed-methods research approach. This evaluation demonstrates that LEAN can be used to model a wide range of domains and that it is easy to learn and simple to understand. The application of the theoretical principles and methodology presented in this thesis can be expected to improve the understandability and consistency of EA’s significantly. This, in turn, can be expected to deliver significant tangible business benefits through improved strategic change management that more closely aligns the delivery of IT services with business drivers. The findings in this research also provide fertile ground for further research. This includes the development and comparative evaluation of alternative unified languages, further research into the use of the methodology presented to align architectures at various levels of abstraction, and the investigation of the applicability of this theoretical approach to other, non-IT disciplines.
