Abstract:
Budget and budgeting have become more than just control mechanisms over the past few years. They are seen as functions for strategic planning and a method to implement or assist the strategy implementation. The research report investigated whether the budget is a strategic enabler though different contributors of the budgeting process.In previous research the dissatisfactions of the budgetary process were identified, but this excluded the impact that the budget process had on the strategic plans of an organisation. Other research was done on how strategy was done in organisations, but not whic

Abstract:
The Internet has exponentially grown and now it is part of our everyday life. Internet services and applications rely on back-end servers that are deployed on local servers and data centers. With the growing use of data centers and cloud computing, the locations of these servers have been externalized and centralized, taking advantage of economies of scale. However, some applications need to define complex network topologies and require more than simple connectivity to the remote sites. Therefore, the network part of cloud computing, what is called cloud networking, needs to be improved and s

While there are no global oceans of liquid ethane/methane as once conjectured, the imagery does suggest the possibility of seas or lakes of liquid ethane, methane, and other organic materials. If these exist, Titan could be considered a gigantic analog model of the Earth's climate system complete with land masses, moderately thick atmosphere, and large bodies of liquid. By studying the

Thesis (MTech (Marketing))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010<br>A total of R4.8 billion was spent on sports sponsorship in South Africa in 2008, while a remarkable increase in sports sponsorship indicates that research, which deals with studying effectiveness of sports sponsorship, is essential.

Abstract:
The doctrine of intellectual property is based on the assumption that the exclusivity to commercialize a novel product granted to an inventor creates incentives to conduct research. In some areas, however, intellectual property can constitute a barrier to development of social welfare. In the area of access to medicines in developing countries, the intellectual property-related problem can take two forms. When needed products are not being developed and thus do not exist, lack of availability occurs. Lack of accessibility, on the other hand, arises when necessary medicines do exist, but their

Abstract:
The macroeconomic environment in Zimbabwe transformed over the past decade with the formal business enterprises substituted by an expanding informal sector. Statistics from the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency showed 94.5% of the employed population aged 15 years and above being employed in the informal sector. Players in the informal sector often do not use formal banking channels and transact on a cash basis. Newspaper reports in Zimbabwe estimate the amount of cash circulating outside the formal banking channels to range between United States Dollar 3 billion and United States Dollar 7

Abstract:
The turbulent global economy brought about by commodity price meltdowns, technological advances and a combination of collapsing, amalgamating and restructuring of industries has given rise to a complex and uncertain business environment in which the knowledge worker strives to remain employed within. This compels the knowledge worker to guard against potential unemployment by having the ability to translate their career capital across an industry and in the process developing career resilience that enhances sustainable employment. By understanding how individuals have transitioned their career

Abstract:
Det här examensarbetet har skrivits på institutionen Integrerad Produktutveckling på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH). Studien har fokuserat på hur lean kan appliceras inom Forskning &amp; Utveckling (FoU) och vilka effekter det ger på kreativitet och effektivitet. Lean är något som är väl utrett inom produktion, men har givits jämförelsevis lite uppmärksamhet angående dess applikation inom FoU. Den forskning som finns pekar på att effektiviteten inom FoU kan ökas med hjälp av lean, men det finns motstridiga åsikter huruvida det kommer på bekostnad av kreativiteten.
