For this particular case, the overall planning was done by a small group, and the implementation of the project when trying to sell it to others or provide it to others for test systems fell only to one individual, who returned from a marketing tour empty-handed (Roy & Aubert, 2002). The management of the project involved the same people that were largely involved in the planning, which made sense because they were familiar with the project. However, it also stopped the stream of fresh ideas that might have allowed someone else to understand that there was a problem coming up and therefore point it out to the company and their business partner before things turned sour.
5. There are few alternatives for dealing with the problems that the case has. Management should have done further research before work began, but it is far too late to work on that now. There should also be some way to change or adjust the software so that there can be a market for it. Whether this can be done is unknown, but it seems unlikely given the idea that the credit unions would actually lose money at first to use the software that Integra designed. The best alternative appears to be to simply forget the whole thing, but it cost the company a great deal of money that it would like to recover, and it also made management very concerned about taking any kind of risk in the future.
6. As for recommendations, it seems that shelving the project completely and taking a business loss would be the...
If there is no market for a particular project, there is certainly no point in continuing to try to sell it to others, and it could simply end up costing the company more money. Management should also work toward a better understanding of risk assessment and ways to start taking small risks again so that the future of their company is not damaged. Some risk is necessary and must be taken for a business to continue to grow and thrive.
7. Lessons learned in this case include the most important lesson - assess the risk before anything is done regarding a new project. This was not done thoroughly, and it cost the company a great deal of money. Another lesson learned would be to ensure that there is a thorough understanding of the market because this lack of understanding and the surprising refusal of the credit unions to use the product not only cost a lot of money but succeeded in shaking the confidence of those that worked on the project as well.

Aristoxenos, two centuries after Pythagoras released his model, sought to discredit the standing theories held by Pythagorean devotees. In his works, he established that numbers are not relevant to music, and that music is based on perception of what one hears, not any mathematical equation. Descartes as well as Vincenzo Galilei (Galileo's father) both also discredited the music-to-math theories that formed the revolutionary basis for Pythagoras' music work, but not

, 2005). In addition, the workload on clinicians is often increased past the point of reasonable because it is too intrusive and time consuming to document patient encounters during clinic time (Grabenbauer, Skinner, and Windle, 2011). The amount of information that can accumulate in a patient's record from multiple sources can be daunting and lead to information overload. CDS alerts can be so common that clinicians begin to ignore them.
Wireless Broadband Technology Overview of Wireless technology Presently it is quite evident to come across functioning of a sort of wireless technology in the form of mobile phone, a Palm pilot, a smart phone etc. With the inception of fast connectivity in the sphere of commerce it is customary and useful to operate from central locations communicating with the remote branches, conducting conferences in remote places, discussing with every body at every
