...Project Title: Realization of Green Cloud Computing ~ Green EDI collaborating with Financial EDI ~ Project Leader Name: Youichiro Kojima Organization/Company: Kojima Press Industry Co.,Ltd., Japan Nominated by: Japan Association for Simplification of International Trade Procedures (JASTPRO) Abstract: This Green Cloud Computing project has achieved the significant reduction of Cost and CO2 through the cloud computing while realizing EDI for SMEs, REACH and Financial settlement. Executive Summary: Our approach toward Green IT started with internal activities under the slogan of “CO2 reduction through Green IT” in 2005. Our group companies achieved significant results by integrating hardware and using common software. To produce further effects, these activities need to be practiced in society as a whole. For that purpose, we have developed “Green Cloud Computing,” a social action program focused on the automotive parts industry and small and medium-sized businesses outside the framework of a single company. With the spread of the Internet, web-based EDI (electronic data interchange) systems have been increasingly used as a means to exchange information between individual companies. In the automotive parts industry in among SMEs, where no industry-standard EDI system has been established, many different terminals and screens must be used, due to the lack of system integration between companies. In addition, not many small and medium-sized businesses have introduced computer...

...Case Study: Cloud Computing | | Cloud computing is becoming a popular and efficient service for many companies. With the speed that technology is changing, it can be difficult for a company to stay ahead with the current systems and services available in the market. Cloud computing is one option companies have to address this issue. “With cloud computing, organizations can consume shared computing and storage resources rather than building, operating and improving infrastructure on their own,” (Varia and Mathew, 2012). Ericsson is a world leader in providing technology and services for telecommunication and they also utilize Amazon Web Services, a public cloud services provider. There are many benefits that Ericsson has seen while using AWS. One is cost reduction. With AWS, Ericsson only has to pay for the services that they need rather than being required to purchase an entire suite of software that they may not use. AWS also provides some other cost benefits, “AWS requires no up-front investment, long-term commitment, or minimum spend,” (Varia et al, 2012). Another benefit concerns automation and automated software updates. With automation in AWS, Ericsson is able to spend more time focusing on their products than on updating their software. It reduces the amount of time that Ericsson would have to spend on the maintenance of their software or other commodities they use to create their products. AWS takes the responsibility of managing and scaling......

... Courtney J. Owens Ashford University Green Mountain Case Study BUS661: Leading Organizational Change (MFV1350A) Instructor: Dr. Thuong Nguyen December 17, 2013 1. Which of the six change images discussed in this chapter can be identified in the assumptions about managing turnover that were held by -Gunter? In this particular case study Gunter can be identified as the coach. Gunter began to look at his turnover problem from a different perspective and he was able to build on this notion. He became a mentor within the resort because he focused on the reputation that the resort had built for putting out some of the most skilled and qualified workers. Gunter embraced his gift for putting out quality employees and accepted the fact that his workers were qualified enough to attract the likeness of others. -The Hospitality Literature? The hospitality literature is seen as the navigator in the change image. The literature specifically explains what the problem is within the resort was. It was pointed out that turnover was a chronic problem that will always be there, but it has to be endured. The literature also suggested ways to solve to problem such as: streamline training, simplify jobs, don't become dependent on individuals, make HR processes more efficient (Palmer, Dunford and Akin, 2006). -The consultant? The consultant is seen as the interpreter in this case. The consultant took the problems that were explained to him by Gunter and offered him a different......

...1. Which of the 6 change images discussed in this chapter can be identified in the assumptions about managing turnover. Gunter – Change Manager as Caretaker Gunter knew what the issue he was faced with and knew it needed to change but didn't know how to do it Even when the consultant asked him what he felt the problem was he said “Reduce Turnover” No real plan on the how just that it had to be done. Gunter was in control yet he couldn't control the turnover rate because of internal and external issues. He couldn't control the poor economic situation that surrounded Green Mountain. He couldn't control the lack of advancement within the company. As the textbook says Gunter was “sheepherding the organization along the best that he can” The Hospitality Literature – Change Manager as Caretaker I think I have changed my mind a few times on this, but I think actually the literature was a lot like Gunter. It didn’t see the turnover as something you could actually change just something you had to deal with. If you can’t fix the problem then at least lessen the impact. The only difference and the reason why I debated this is Gunter wanted to change where the literature made it seem like there was no possible solution. The Consultant – Change Manager as a Coach The consultant had an “outside the box” way of looking at this, since you can’t change the turnover; make the turnover work for you in almost a marketing sort of way. Therefore he just had to......

Abstract Green computing architecture Regulations and industry initiatives Approaches to green computing Conclusion Reference 2 1. Abstract 1. Abstract • In 1992, the US Environmental Protection Agency launched Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program which is designed to promote and recognize energy efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies. • “Green computing" was probably coined shortly after the Energy Star program began. • Energy management has always been an important topic for laptop manufacturers, who have been working on this for years as they struggled to manage weight versus battery life issues. 3 1. Abstract Definition of Green Computing • Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. • The primary objective of such a program is to account for the triple bottom line (or "People, Planet, Profit"). • Modern IT systems rely upon a complicated mix of people, networks and hardware; as such, a green computing initiative must be systemic in nature, and address increasingly sophisticated problems. 4 1.

...Thomas Green: Power, Office Policies, and a Career in Crisis What are the work styles and personalities of Thomas Green and Frank Davis? It is clear from the text that Thomas Green has some characteristics of a Machiavellian personality. For example, he has little regard for authority and structure, and prefers face-to-face interactions. Most importantly, once the ends cease to justify the means he loses motivation. This reaction is made evident when Thomas’s performance declined as a result of what he considered to be an unattainable goal. In his mind, failing to reach the goal regardless of how much he tried did not justify putting in the effort. Meanwhile, Frank Davis portrayed elements of a Proactive personality. He was constantly vying for improvement in Thomas’ behavior, pushing for better strategies to meet his ambitious projections for the next year. Instead of shying away from the challenge, Frank strived for positive change within his team in order to achieve the goals he set. How do the actions of Thomas Green differ from the expectations of Frank Davis? Green’s actions are not in line with Davis’s expectations. Davis laid out his expectations of Green from the very beginning and reinforced them during their first performance meeting and email to McDonald such as spending time to prepare for client meetings and develop supporting details for his proposals. In addition, Green openly challenged Davis’s sales projections, which Davis considers key in......

I was working on a presentation and my boss was very convinced that we never do such kind thing and I should concentrate on something useful. I was very confident of my work and was convinced that this will give senior leadership a new perceptive to look at the market. I wrote an email to the SVP of our business line explaining what was my idea behind this and how this can benefit the organization. He found it innovative, presented it to board members and invited me to the headquarters to present my research in more details to the team of senior leadership and board of directors. Thomas green Case Study:- 1) Thomas Green was a high performing individual and could have been a very good leader, if he would have exhibited all the qualities of a true leader. Here is an analysis of Thomas’s leadership style based on Ancona leadership model. a. Inventing:- Thomas was very good on this quality of leadership. Soon after his promotion, when he met Davis, his boss, he was able to come with many new ideas and client responded very positively to these ideas. i. Another example of Thomas being inventive:-one of the market specialists who accompanied Thomas to several meeting during the special software project said that Thomas is very creative and can quickly think of new ideas on his feet. b.
