Plenary Lecture:

 

Beyond the old Requiem of fear, the music of hope: the Requiem of Mercy

Prof. Luciano Simoni
University of Bologna
Italy

 

Abstract: After a brief survey of the most significant Requiems on the old Latin text, the reasons which have led the author to put in music a very different, -post Concilium- text (wholly taken from the Bible), are made clear and the meaning of the new Requiem shown. The different parts of the work are explained so as to help its listening. The Requiem of Mercy, in memory of the great Pope Johann Paul II, is a hymn to the mercy of God and to the hope of resurrection.

Plenary Lecture:

 

Contribution to E-Business Valuation

Prof. Zeljko Panian
University of Zagreb
Croatia

 

Abstract: Today's e-business processes and operations are variable, complex and intricate in nature. An apparently simple transaction may in fact cross multiple physical, geographic boundaries, involve many trading partners, and trigger actions in numerous other business processes and activities. Because these complexities and interdependencies are too numerous to handle manually, business processes are inherently wedded to business systems. For that reason, when assessing value, it's generally meaningless to separate the two concepts. Instead, a company values the cash inflows and outflows for the unified business process change on both the IT and business unit sides.
The paper discusses concepts for assessing the value of e-business projects. The concepts described outline a framework and language for articulating e-business value rather than strictly defined valuation formula. After the e-business metrics background is discussed, seventeen representative measures of e-business value are explained, including:

 

  • Days of Inventory Reduction
  • Days of Receivables or Days of Sales Outstanding Reduction
  • Headcount Reduction and Avoidance
  • Headcount Productivity
  • Headcount Turnover
  • System End-of-Life
  • Materials Discounts
  • Capital, Hardware and Software Avoidance
  • Unit Cost Avoidance
  • Factory Uptime
  • Scrap Reduction
  • Risk Avoidance
  • Time-to-Market
  • Opening New Markets
  • Optimizing Existing Markets
  • Cross-selling
  • Vendor-of-Choice
