Some of the weaknesses of contemporary computerised financial planning systems and
procedures encouraged by batch-processing environments are described. The failure
of many levels of corporate management actively to participate in financial planning
or to rely on budgets for operating decisions or as a tool for performance evaluation
is due to planning processes that force reliance on accounting and information systems
personnel rather than depend on the efforts of operating management. A revolutionary
new approach to computerised financial planning currently under way at Adolph Coors
Company, Golden, Colorado, USA, is discussed.

Conversion to client/server systems from host-centric systems can be accomplished
with careful attention to planning and development procedures. A key component in
a successful conversion is a customized definition of client/server which complements
the organization's mission. Another key component is the development of an infrastructure
which includes hardware, software and people. The training of users and design personnel
is crucial to successful conversion. Discusses definitions, strategies, hardware,
software, and the pitfalls to be avoided.

Continual improvement for competitive advantage is not the primary policy of organisations,
either in theory or practice. A deductive rationale is presented for the emerging
need to make "continual improvement for competitive advantage" the primary policy
of any organisation. This is based on the inexorable acceleration of technical change
and the Darwinian selective pressures of competition. Giving primacy to continual
improvement naturally gives a different slant to company policies, strategies and
objectives by subordinating them. Systematic continual improvement policy generates
particular emphasis on people, planning, performance measures and procedures. Inductive
study reaches similar conclusions but lacks the cogency of a rational framework.
A continual improvement policy is a touchstone for the choice and use of planning
and operational practices. A game plan for continual improvement is illustrated that
integrates the planning, operation and evaluation of performance for the whole operation,
its divisions and their personnel. The self-assessment questionnaire technique offers
a quick insight into an organisation's preparedness for gaining competitive advantage
through continual improvement.

Обсуждается вопрос о развитии модуля распределения человеческих ресурсов
(HR-модуля), обычно считающегося существенной частью систем планирования ресурсов предприятий (ERP). Этот модуль предоставляет
решающие данные по человеческим ресурсам и обеспечивает поддержку решений по использованию
человеческих ресурсов при операциях в центре дистрибуции. Подробно рассматривается
ключевой алгоритм HR-модуля, обеспечивающего экономное и эффективное управление рабочей
силой в операциях центра логистики/дистрибуции.

Organization learning has assumed a major role in modern management as a tool for
coping with change and uncertainty. Organizations must adapt to shifting demands
in an environment where chaos is common. The organizations which can make such changes
and thrive are those which embrace the philosophy of organizational learning. This
paper is an attempt to assess the application of organization learning concepts using
a real organization.

The area of computer abuse and professional ethics in computing is of interest to
companies as well as ethics researchers. Expands the research in ethical behaviour
of information system employees. Identifies empirically a few demographic variables
that are associated with the ethical behaviour of information system (IS) personnel
and raises a few issues for IS managers. In addition, indicates that the existing
models of ethical behaviour, when used in the computing context, need to be suitably
modified by including demographic variables.

Over the past few years there has been confusion and disagreement among general business
practitioners and operations professionals concerning the terms "logistics" and "supply
chain management". Various formal definitions have been offered for both terms. In
addition, the common usage of each term in industry varies. Business terms are often
defined over time, by the common use or application of the term. Examines the historical
definitions of both terms, looks at current practitioner views of the terms, and
proposes a hierarchy for the relationship between logistics and supply chain management.
