Il a été rendu possible grâce au travail d’une équipe scientifique composée de chercheurs de HEC Montréal et de l’Université laval, au soutien financier de nombreux partenaires gouvernementaux et privés, au témoignage de douze organisations ainsi qu’à la participation de plus de 1 800 répondants issus d’entreprises et institutions publiques du Canada et de la France. Fidèle à sa mission de contribuer à un meilleur usage du numérique, le CEFRIo est fier de présenter les résultats d’une enquête menée auprès des entreprises membres du CIGREF. l’Indice de l’innovation par les TIC a permis de mettre en lumière plusieurs facteurs influençant l’innovation et la performance au sein des entreprises et organisations. Surtout, il a fait émerger des recommandations et bonnes pratiques qui permettront à tout responsable tI ou dirigeant de mieux orienter sa stratégie en matière d’utilisation des technologies numériques. au terme d’une revue de littérature approfondie, d’une analyse de douze études de cas ainsi que d’un vaste sondage, il est notamment apparu que ni le type de technologie utilisée, ni le montant investi en équipement n’ont d’effet sur l’innovation et la performance. En revanche, l’intensité d’utilisation des tIC et les efforts consacrés à la gestion et au changement organisationnel ont un impact positif fort. le CEFRIo tient à remercier le CIGREF pour son appui et sa précieuse collaboration dans ce projet. Il souligne aussi la collaboration des autres partenaires, dont le ministère des Finances et de l’Économie, le ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche, de la Science et de la technologie, le Secrétariat du Conseil du trésor du Québec, Revenu Québec, Industrie Canada et Fujitsu. Merci également à l’équipe de chercheurs de HEC Montréal et de l’Université laval. Merci enfin aux organisations qui ont participé aux études de cas ainsi qu’à tous les répondants de l’enquête. bonne lecture !

  • C:Macintosh Update
    - .. C: Macintosh Update Macintosh has changed a little since the enclosed manuals were printed. This manual update lets you know about improvements to the Finder and MacWrite. It also describes a new Font and Desk Accessory Mover and the Choose Printer desk accessory that are now included on the System Disk. You can put this update aside for now; you don't really need to know about the changes it describes until you've been working with Macintosh for a while. Most of the changes just give you more speed and power in using your Macintosh. • See Macintosh, your owner's guide, to find out how Macintosh works in general. • See the MacPaint and MacWrite manuals to find out how those applications work. • You can also take a guided tour or two, to let the Macintosh demonstrate itself. Updating Other Disks Each enclosed disk includes the new Finder and other system changes; other applications you purchase may not You might want to update each of your startup disks with the new Finder and other system changes. To update applications such as MacProject, MacDraw, or MacTerminal, replace their System Folders by copying the System Folder from the enclosed System Disk. See "Copying a Document, Folder, or Application to a Different Disk" in Macintosh, the owner's guide. Here are a few guid��ines about updating other disks: . • Before you replace a disk's System Folder, make a backup copy of the disk. See "Copying an Entire Disk" in Macintosh, the owner's guide. • Start up your Macintosh using one of the enclosed disks rather than thedisk whose System Folder you want to replace; you can't replace the System Folder of the current startup disk.

  • Developing a More Effective Creative Operations Management System for Creative Businesses
    Developing a More Effective Creative Operations Management System For Creative Businesses By Copyright ©2011 Ryan Hembree Submitted to the graduate degree program in Design Management and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Michael D. Eckersley ________________________________ Richard L. Branham ________________________________ Alan R. McClure ________________________________ Wallace W. Meyer, Jr. Date Defended: April 22, 2011 The Thesis Committee for Ryan Hembree certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Developing a More Effective Creative Operations Management System For Creative Businesses THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ________________________________ Chairperson Michael D. Eckersley Richard L. Branham Alan R. McClure Wallace W. Meyer, Jr. Date approved: April 22, 2011 ii Abstract: Most creative businesses remain limited in organizational size, sales, and profitability, primarily due to a lack of efficient management. Unless the principal or owner of a cre- ative business delegates some of the functional aspects of operations to other staff, or finds a way to automate core processes and procedures, the firm will experience volatility, growth struggles, and possibly even failure. By developing a project and knowledge man- agement system that is tailored to the unique needs of creative businesses, many of the daily tasks and management issues that currently overwhelm owners and principals will THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK be streamlined and automated. The C.O.M.mand Center (Creative Operations Manager) system is an online project, time and knowledge management system accessible through any web browser. The purpose of this project is to prove the value of such a system to creative businesses by research- ing user needs, determine why existing project management systems are not adequately meeting those needs, and then develop a design and “proof of concept” for a more appro- priate solution.
