Entrepreneurial networks are multifunctional; they can be used to access information about technologies and markets or to reduce uncertainties. A network’s function affects its structure and both the magnitude and nature of the impact that it has on enterprise performance. Networks that reduce uncertainty are small and cohesive. They generate positive spillover effects, while having little over...

Recognizing that the use of spreadsheets within finance will likely not subside in the near future, this paper discusses a major barrier that is preventing more organizations from adopting enterprise spreadsheet management programs. But even without a corporate mandated effort to improve spreadsheet controls, finance functions can still take simple yet effective steps to start managing the risk...

As enterprises gradually move towards digitalization, it is increasingly difficult to accurately evaluate changes in corporate financial performance. To improve this situation, the study uses a text mining algorithm based on web crawler principle extract keywords from annual reports, select representative performance indicators through IF-FDP, and construct evaluation model using entropy weight...

Enterprise Systems have been touted as a key driver of delivering benefits through innovation in corporate Information Systems. The advent of such systems expects to deliver best practices that improve organizational performance. Yet, most Enterprise System installations struggle to see lifecycle-wide value of it. Considering that Enterprise Systems deliver lifecycle-wide innovation; we observe...

Manufacturing enterprise decisions can be classified into four groups: business decisions, design decisions, engineering decisions, and production decisions. Numerous physical and software simulation techniques have been used to evaluate specific decisions by predicting their impact on either system performance or product performance. In this paper, we focus on the impact of production decision...

One of the most attractive aspects of virtual enterprises is their agility: the inherent ability to adapt and evolve in response to changing market conditions. Evolving VirtuE is a formal framework within which such agility can be realized. Through the concepts of enterprise time, activity logging, and log mining, the recent behavior and performance of an enterprise may be studied, and correspo...

Purpose – Drawing on a network perspective on enterprise agility, the purpose of this paper is to explore whether firms with superior network structure not only may be better able to generate direct effect on firm performance, but whether a superior network structure may also help firms to create better firm agility and thus enhance their performance. Design/methodology/approach – The study emp...

The study of innovation performance helps to complete the measure of development ability of venture enterprise for college students. The study builds models of Stochastic Frontier Analysis on innovation performance of college students’ venture enterprise by setting up Variable quantity and putting forward a hypothesis. This paper sampled 20 historical data about college students’ venture enterp...

In this paper we describe the performance evaluation and comparison of server based “Enterprise Middleware” frameworks on multi-processor multi-core server processor architectures. We experimented a 'single processor quad core Intel Xeon' server processor and a 'dual processor dual core multiprocessor AMD Opteron'. Also we discuss the expected enterprise middleware framework execution performan...
