Enterprise knowledge sharing, activity management, and a fabric for commitment
TL;DR: A set of object classes is described that provide a base for knowledge applications for use with San Francisco that provide certain information structures with specific behavior that can be used by developers building either kind of application.
Abstract: Line-of-business applications and contact and activity management applications have developed independently of each other. To integrate the two aspects of business communications, we need certain information structures with specific behavior that can be used by developers building either kind of application. The San Francisco frameworks provide us with the opportunities to develop these common business frameworks and make them available to other application developers. A set of object classes is described that provide a base for knowledge applications for use with San Francisco.

TL;DR: The concept and practice of Intranets used in midsize and large enterprises and their use and impact within research and development (R&D) organizations are analyzed, arguing that creation of an Intranet that projects an image of a world-class organization demands no less than aWorld-class enterprise that is strategically enabled through information technology.
Abstract: : We analyze the concept and practice of Intranets used in midsize and large enterprises, focusing on their use and impact within research and development (R&D) organizations. We examine the shift from the old concept of business computing to the modern concept of enterprise computing, and consider Intranets-a class of enterprise computing-relative to enterprise computing trends. By analyzing in detail some case studies selected from the literature, on-site visits, and workshop discussions, we then offer three tools to frame the critical issues and provide structure for systematically constructing strategic Intranets specific to a given organization's mission and culture. Arguing that creation of an Intranet that projects an image of a world-class organization demands no less than a world-class enterprise that is strategically enabled through information technology, we then analyze the current U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Intranet and present a three-step action plan to expedite ARL's movement toward creation of such an Intranet.

Abstract: Two years ago, the IBM Systems Journal published an issue containing papers on the content and use of the IBM SanFranciscoTM product. Since that time we have seen changes: in the product, in how customers are using the product, and in the marketplace in general. This essay provides a brief review of some of these changes and introduces the papers in this issue related to the SanFrancisco theme.

TL;DR: Covey describes the concept of approaching life from the inside out as discussed by the authors, and provides a brief overview of the seven habits and an explanation of the two major organizing concepts: private victory and public victory.
Abstract: lead to effective leadership. As an introduction, Covey describes the concept of approaching life from the inside out. His premise is that within the individual are changing principles on which a character ethic is based. Among these are integrity, humility, fidelity, courage, and justice-all of which influence habit, &dquo;the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire.&dquo; He concludes the introductory section with a brief overview of the seven habits and an explanation of the two major organizing concepts: private victory and public victory. The process of achieving selfawareness and increased independence defines the former, while the latter is defined as increasingly moving toward the notion of interdependence. Those habits that comprise the elements of private victory are explained in the second part of the book. Leaders are encouraged to be active (habit 1) in analyzing their Circle of Influence (things over which they have control) and their Circle of Concern (things beyond their control). The development of a personal mission statement based on effective principles is the essence of beginning with the end in mind (habit 2). The last element of private victory is putting first things first (habit 3). Management is seen to follow leadership as leaders organize around priorities and seek effectiveness with people and efficiency with things. Part III is concerned with public victory, the transformation from

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that managers need to consider other factors relevant to a virtual organization's ability to innovate, such as autonomous and systemic innovation; and codified and tacit knowledge.
Abstract: Contends that ‘the virtues of being virtual have been oversold’, particularly regarding organization for innovation. Posits that managers need to consider other factors relevant to a virtual organization's ability to innovate — such as different forms of innovation and knowledge, these are: autonomous and systemic innovation; and codified and tacit knowledge. Recounts that companies like Intel and Microsoft have made extensive investments to continually develop their capabilities — arguing only large companies have the scale and scope to co‐ordinate complementary innovations

TL;DR: The San FranciscoTM project is an IBM initiative, with over 130 independent software vendors, to provide business process components that can form the basis of rapidly developed distributed solutions for mission-critical business applications.
Abstract: The San FranciscoTM project is an IBM initiative, with over 130 independent software vendors, to provide business process components that can form the basis of rapidly developed distributed solutions for mission-critical business applications. This paper describes the original objectives of the San Francisco project and discusses the methodology, skills, and architecture that were used to achieve those objectives. The paper includes discussion of the importance of design patterns, extension points, and a well-defined programming model used in the San Francisco components. Most topics are touched on briefly to give an overview; some knowledge of object-oriented development techniques is assumed.
