Frankl's existentialism seems the most diffuse concept of meaning among those discussed here. He refuses to say what the meaning of life is -- he does not say it is happiness (Aristotle), the good life (Socrates), or achieving liberation/equality for others (King)
As a consequence they retell these stories and introduce ideas that they believe to characterize life in Blue Ridge. This makes it possible for readers and listeners to understand that these are not just stories and that they are a piece of Blue Ridge cultural life (Bernard McCarthy 59)
People at Blue Ridge are not only successful because they managed to keep traditions, as they are also impressive because of the fact that they inherited story-telling abilities from their ancestors. Donald's "reflective involvement in the process of story performance, memory, and creativity could bring forth essential insights into his tale-telling tradition" (Davis 17)
The fact that they have been relatively isolated from the world made it possible for them to develop a unique culture. As the community interacts more and more with the outside world its values change and storytellers find it difficult to continue to tell their stories in settings where individuals are unable to identify with the characters (McNeil 14)
These stories are European in character but have been modified so that individuals in Blue Ridge identify with the protagonist and with the locations that he visits. "The Jack tales feature a combination of Old and New World elements -- folkloric characters from the Old World, such as giants, devils, and kings, transported to New World settings" (Olson 76)
Stories can move particularly fast in communities and it all depends on thinking in the respective groups. It is surely very difficult to verify the origin of some stories, but this is not necessarily important when considering their significance and the influence that they have on particular groups (Turner 3)
A different start and an existing species would be different. 'If the causal chain had been different Homo sapiens would not exist' (Simpson, 1964: 267)
IT governance thus is a result of the complete merger of computer and communications technologies, like data processing and high advancement in networks, and integrated systems. (Bloomfield; Coombs; Knights; Littler, 2000) Thus the information officers are involved in the process of strategic information systems planning -- SISP which in turn could yield better business strategy or strategic options and the roles of the Information system is wide today
They must also be able to get "new knowledge and skills; and must thus acquire a variety of knowledge bases" and are the victims of increasing work intensity seem to make the work tedious with attrition. (Docherty; Forslin; Shani, 2002) Thus loss of key personnel has a major impact on the quality
The structure of the organization also includes the routines and learning capabilities and adaptation to the changing roles in the work place and information processing. (Earl, 1988) The major goal is to integrate information systems/information technology with the corporate strategy to use information for better governance and management
It is also used for the process implementation and for evaluation. (Emam, 2001) The definitions of the process also decide the quality
(Kliem; Ludin, 1994) Systems development often uses different approaches and tools such as traditional development, prototyping, rapid application development, end-user development, computer-aided software engineering, and object-oriented development to select, implement, and monitor projects. (Golden, 2011) The very concept of the software and hardware creation and the use of components are changing day by day and new innovations are creating better software and systems that no more can be fit into the old mold
The basic paradigm of development is now old. (Kliem; Ludin, 1994) It is contended that development methods must change with the demands of the developing technology
Even in a small operation the information system ought to have better tracking functions, "data analysis and reporting, vendor management, customer databases processing and marketing analysis feasibility." (Lagana, 2004) Only when such an integrated system is developed tailor made to the business, can the efficiency required to be competitive be perceived in the business
There have been vast changes in the very functions of government and these changes have been made in many sectors that are the core of the government, the "nodality, authority, treasure and organization." (Margetts, 1999) These thus are vital concepts that actually take in the system development from the side of the client and the developer
Thus if an adaptable system is created then the end-user is allowed to create choice and make changes in the system to suit the individual functions. (Oppermann, 1994) Some activities follow the route map created by the requirement analysis and documentation
Organizations are judged by their financial performance and therefore the processing of information to leveraging its financial capital as well as its intellectual capital is the basis for the firm's survival. (Thierauf; Hoctor, 2003) Because of online financial activities many of these financials are linked directly or indirectly to the internet and the World Wide Web and thus many issues are involved in the formulation of finance based IT scenarios
Selection of the appropriate software development life cycle and development of resources are based on the resources required and the general requirements. (Wiegers, 2012) The aim of the design today is to create flexible systems
There are many conflicting external and internal factors in the system that has to be understood well not only by the designer but by the administration or the information officers. (Wolak, 2001) One of the most important aspects of governance where IT has now played a role and is becoming crucial is in the field of accounting and financial operations
¶ … Software Development Lifecycles Balancing increasingly complex requirements for new software applications with the constraints of costs, time and resources has made the use of software development lifecycles invaluable. The reliance on software development methodologies is increasing as shortages of programming expertise are leading to many companies relying on virtual project development teams (Batra, Xia, VanderMeer, Dutta, 2010)
