Academic literature on the topic 'Business rules templates'

In the textbook, in section I, the norms and standards of the official business style, genre templates, rules for preparing documents, and the basics of business ethics are set out in a simple, accessible form. It highlights aspects of business communication that, despite their importance, are not reflected in manuals on similar topics. This is information about the problems of adequate understanding of information, working with business terminology, and also gives an assessment of business jargon. Special attention is paid to the forms of information compression in the business text. The theo

Business communication is comprised of standards designed for efficiency. Like commodities, official correspondences are often indistinguishable. Adherence to templates provides uniformity in arrangement if not also content. When this approach works well, it is both efficient and effective. However, the universal applicability of this paradigm is suspect. Such standardization stifles creativity. When one is responsible for communicating insights in business, a radical break with convention might be beneficial in terms of gaining attention and provoking thought. Deviating from established norms is risky. Further, while one learns key tenants of business communication at work and in college, one is seldom informed as to when to stop following the rules and forge a new communicative path forward. In this chapter, existential insights are combined with communication theory to illustrate how authentic organizational communication can assist in one becoming who one is while also communicating insights in a business in a way that the form and content are strategically aligned.

This chapter introduces the book’s principal premise, “Why Nations Matter,” and its guiding template, “The Ten Pillars of Urban Success,” which underpin much of what follows. Nations matter because the very institutional existence of “cities” as distinct administrative units is decided by national/state governments and because the principal tools that underpin the creation of wealth (monetary policy, the rule of law, sound macroeconomic management, etc.) are in the hands of national governments. Looking at cities through a national lens, from nation to neighborhood, allows the reader to uncover relationships that are often overlooked. A strong central business district (CBD) cannot be divorced from a strong national currency. The Ten Pillars of Urban Success walk the reader through the attributes that allow a city to succeed or, alternatively, cause it to fail, starting at the top with wise (or unwise) national governments to well-managed local neighborhoods conducive to productive interaction.

The role of the state in neoliberal theory is reasonably easy to define. The practice of neoliberalization has, however, evolved in such a way as to depart significantly from the template that theory provides. The somewhat chaotic evolution and uneven geographical development of state institutions, powers, and functions over the last thirty years suggests, furthermore, that the neoliberal state may be an unstable and contradictory political form. According to theory, the neoliberal state should favour strong individual private property rights, the rule of law, and the institutions of freely functioning markets and free trade. These are the institutional arrangements considered essential to guarantee individual freedoms. The legal framework is that of freely negotiated contractual obligations between juridical individuals in the marketplace. The sanctity of contracts and the individual right to freedom of action, expression, and choice must be protected. The state must therefore use its monopoly of the means of violence to preserve these freedoms at all costs. By extension, the freedom of businesses and corporations (legally regarded as individuals) to operate within this institutional framework of free markets and free trade is regarded as a fundamental good. Private enterprise and entrepreneurial initiative are seen as the keys to innovation and wealth creation. Intellectual property rights are protected (for example through patents) so as to encourage technological changes. Continuous increases in productivity should then deliver higher living standards to everyone. Under the assumption that ‘a rising tide lifts all boats’, or of ‘trickle down’, neoliberal theory holds that the elimination of poverty (both domestically and worldwide) can best be secured through free markets and free trade. Neoliberals are particularly assiduous in seeking the privatization of assets. The absence of clear private property rights––as in many developing countries––is seen as one of the greatest of all institutional barriers to economic development and the improvement of human welfare. Enclosure and the assignment of private property rights is considered the best way to protect against the socalled ‘tragedy of the commons’ (the tendency for individuals to irresponsibly super-exploit common property resources such as land and water).

Abstract Drilling engineers use several applications to perform well design tasks and to create a final report for review and approval, any changes in subsurface information require revalidation of engineering calculations and repeat of the entire tasks to update the stage-gate report. This is usually a manual, timeconsuming and human error prone process that may result in additional cost and/or prolonged planning cycle time. Moreover, such manual works by individual engineers lead to diversified well design practices and formats across a company which make it difficult for standardization and
