The Strategic Importance of Asset Management Part Two: Implications
Daryl Mather 12/19/2003 12:00:00 AM
The changing attitudes, understandings of physical assets and market conditions bring a broad array of implications for those responsible for asset management. The majority of these can be explained as "new accountabilities." Many of these are accountabilities leveled at, or within, corporations themselves. However many will also be directed at the individuals taking or overseeing these decisions, often with daunting consequences for failure.

Support for Old Releases-Good for the User but Is It Good for the Vendor?
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 12/17/2003 12:00:00 AM
The decision to support older releases is like any other business decision, it is all about the money and profitability. If the vendor can make money at providing support for older releases, it is good business for the vendor. The decision may be sugar-coated with pronouncements about doing what is good for the customer, but both the vendor and the customers know that the first consideration must be the money.

Sales and Operations Planning Part Two: Common Scenarios
Dr. Scott Hamilton 12/12/2003 12:00:00 AM

Dr. Scott Hamilton 12/11/2003 12:00:00 AM

Supplier Parks - Back to the Future
Bill McBeath 12/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
