Abstract
This paper provides a market analysis of Philadelphia to determine the condition of the local economy, the competitive supply and demand, and what the overall current and future market will be for Class B office space in Philadelphia. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"On the one hand, the economic changes that have shaped Philadelphia since the end of World War II have created a process of decentralization of commercial and residential locations. This decentralization has inordinately affected the minorities in the city, with a large segment of the black population becoming more concentrated in many of the city?s neighborhoods to the extent that segregation is more pronounced today than at any time during the last half century (Adams et al. 1991). On the other hand, Philadelphia has enjoyed explosive growth in commercial office construction that has dramatically changed the appearance of the Philadelphia skyline in just a few years."

Abstract
This paper explains that office design, which evolved post WWII and was influenced by the Burolandschaft movement in Germany, has changed drastically with the advent of personal computer systems, creating the need for more desk space lighting to reduce the glare on computer screens. The author points out that office design theory recommends color schemes combining blues and creams, which gives the office a calming, airy affect and creates an environment that is appealing to customers and is comfortable and calming to employees. The paper reports the results of an employee survey revealed that the employees were dissatisfied with their work environment and wanted the office to be renovated because the appearance of the office was unprofessional, the office furniture was uncomfortable, the color scheme not satisfying and the kitchen area was unacceptable. Tables, graphs. Questionnaire included.

From the Paper
"As a result of the information provided by the literature review, we can make several recommendations concerning the renovation of the Vartest Laboratory Office. First, management must recognize that the way that the office looks leaves an impression on customers and employees. If the office looks unprofessional, it will not attract the ideal customers. In addition, an office that is poorly designed will cause employees to question whether they are valued by the company. In addition, the company must make a concerted effort to understand that the workplace is a social environment and people's behavior will coincide with the design of that environment."

Abstract
This paper looks at the directives which guide the actions of the Office of the Coordinator for Counter-Terrorism, as well as its strategies and tactics, its various functions and programs and how the office is organized. The paper highlights how much changed in America after 9/11, especially for a government branch devoted to intelligence-gathering and to security. The paper discusses how the Counter-terrorism Office has grown, with its associations with other government agencies, increasingly complex and involved.
From the Paper
"Whatever the criticisms leveled against the Bush Administration's "War on Terror" by its critics, few can dispute that the United States must pursue a forceful policy against terrorist activities if it is to secure its safety at home and abroad. Certainly, recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the attention granted to anti-terror measures and institutions in light of the fact that 9/11 proved, once and for all, that America too is vulnerable to terror assaults. In addition to the heightened interest surrounding the anti-terror tools America had in place prior to 9/11, the last five-and-a-half years has borne witness to the creation of new institutions geared expressly to fighting terrorism - the National Counter-Terrorism Center chief among them."

A Paperless Office for the Future, 2005.
An examination of the paperless office and how Adobe software is making the paperless office a possibility.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses in detail how the concept of the paperless office, long a desire of the computer age, is finally a real possibility due to technologies such as Adobe's PDF file format and its Adobe Reader program. The paper examines how, accompanied by a slew of other relatively inexpensive or already present technologies, a company can save a substantial amount of revenue in operating expenses.
From the Paper
"The paperless office concept, enabled by a combination of technologies and processes mediated through the personal computer, is already facilitated by such technologies as the PDF document system by Adobe and as outlined by an article in Infoworld entitled the Paperless Office is a very real strategy for this company. This company's love affair with the personal printer: "Office printer politics gets very territorial at times...'Even if a fast modern network printer is located in close proximity, there is a lot of resistance from people surrendering old and outdated personal printers'" (Mendham, para.9), will be replaced by greater productivity because a worker's time on task will increase."

Abstract
This paper examines how Bowen?s family systems theory can be used in an office environment to facilitate better interaction between account officers and between account officers and clients. An overview and background is followed by a description of the existing office environment. A discussion of the staff-staff and staff-clientele constraints is followed by a description of how the family systems theory can help resolve these issues. A summary of the research and recommendations are provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"First discussed by Murray Bowen (1976, 1978), family systems theory provides a developmental paradigm that focuses on how an individual's sense of self emerges in the context of emotional attachments in his or her multigenerational family system. In this regard, differentiating from one's family of origin, the cornerstone of Bowen's theory, is a key developmental task associated with young adulthood (Carter & McGoldrick, 1989). Many family therapists believe that one must get at historical or causal factors in order to relieve a symptom or achieve change. Family therapy versions of the psychoanalytic concepts of insight, catharsis, and abreaction seem to be the major avenues of change, and a mature objectivity is, as with most Freudian therapies, the desired end result."

Outline:
Executive Summary
External Analysis
Internal Analysis
Recommendations/Options
From the Paper
"Office Depot is a household name with regard to being a supplier of office and business products to both the domestic and international markets. Yet, the success story of the company is limited with regard to the domestic share of the more than 300 billion dollar office supply market. Office depot in fact only demonstrated slightly over 10 billion of sales in the domestic share. Though this is as a result of twenty years of steady growth, with the company marking its 20th anniversary in 2006, the organization needs to garner more of this domestic market share to meet the expectations of shareholders and continue to develop its overall business, while simultaneously creating cost cutting practices that will serve for slower expansion but better overall sales in existing stores."

(June 20, 2000), to profile the differences in project management in the different permutations of Microsoft Office, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion. Several graphics are also included.
From the Paper
"In July 1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen started a company, originally known as Micro-Soft (the hyphen was removed later). At this time, the market for personal computers was in its infancy; however, Gates and Allen believed personal computers would play a key role in the future (Rosenbaum 1998). This ability to forecast the future has been a continuing theme in Microsoft's growth into the 21st century. Today, Microsoft is a leading developer of personal-computer software systems and applications. Microsoft also publishes books and multimedia titles and offers electronic mail services. The company has sales offices throughout the world but does virtually all of its research and development at its corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington (Lazich 2000). Microsoft developed the operating system for the PC, the first personal computer sold by International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). Millions of copies of the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) were sold for use with IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers and the vast majority of PCs use Windows today. Since it is hard to argue with success, understanding how Microsoft has managed its product development can provide some useful insights and background for how and why the company continues to dominate the marketplace today. To this end, this paper will provide a critical analysis of Alan MacCormack and Kerry Herman?s ?Microsoft Office 2000? (June 20, 2000), to profile the differences in project management in the different permutations of Microsoft Office, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook have proven to be an excellent resource of group collaboration software at PFG. Microsoft Exchange has allowed PFG to automate office functions like filing, typing, copying, and faxing. Microsoft Outlook makes scheduling appointments and meetings easy. The Microsoft Outlook calendar and corresponding viewing functions allow associates across the corporation to stay up-to-date with the latest appointment and meeting information. Microsoft Exchange and Outlook are office automation tools that provide extensive benefits to PFG. With database applications, data can be imported and managed more efficiently than through manual processes. Stored data results in professional reports, documents and letters through simple programming commands. Since a database application helps a business keep track of important business information, a database application program is a good investment for any business organization."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The American spirit of hard work, dedication and self-sacrifice has served the country well, but it frequently does not pay off in terms of advancement and promotion in an organization that is characterized by office politics. Everyone has seen coworkers with comparable or inferior abilities manage to rise like cream to the top, always securing the best positions with little or no apparent effort. These types of advancements on the basis of spurious considerations only serve to demotivate other employees and increase the incidence of conflicts resulting from office politics in the future. While the fact remains that office politics are an inevitable part of the organizational setting, there are some steps that everyone can take to minimize the impact on their own careers while helping to accomplish the goals of the company.
