Microsoft: Back to Basics: Accounting for IT in Business Performance Not so long ago, many considered speed to be the primary tactic for blocking competition and increasing market share. Companies rushed to field a dot-com strategy or some innovative application of IT that was going to secure their role in the new economy. As a result, many firms under-analyzed or over-invested in IT in pursuit of market dominance. Today, it's back to the basics. Companies are serious about using technology as a competitive advantage. They are learning that IT purchases tied to a company's business strategy have the most clear-cut business value, as expressed in traditional financial terms like Net Present Value (NPV) and payback. Moreover, when IT solutions and business strategy are woven together, companies are finding that business benefits are often broader and deeper than expected. 1:19:30 AM comment

What Went Wrong at WorldCom? WorldCom's announcement on June 25 that it would revise its financial statements to the tune of $3.85 billion sent shock waves through Wall Street. The company's CFO has been fired, and the Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against WorldCom, charging it with fraud. How did this happen? And more importantly, what can be done to restore investors' confidence in financial statements? Experts at Wharton and elsewhere say that while changes in accounting rules are an important first step, much more needs to be done to restore integrity and accountability in the corporate world. 1:18:05 AM comment

Feeling Burned by Accounting Scams in the U.S.? Just Look Overseas As high-profile flameouts at companies such as WorldCom, Tyco and Adelphia continue week after week, U.S. investors are feeling burned. But despite these instances of financial skullduggery, a new research paper shows that U.S. investors are relatively well-protected by strong laws and enforcement. Christian Leuz, a Wharton accounting professor, joined colleagues at MIT and Duke Universities to study investor protection regulations in 31 countries. Their research shows that accounting abuses such as self-dealing are far worse in Continental Europe and Southeast Asia than in the U.S. 1:17:00 AM comment

Wireless iPod. Perfect for the iPod at home or in the car: iRock is a small device you connect to an audio source that it then broadcasts on one of four FM frequencies so you can receive it on any radio. 300mw should be enough (if placed strategically) to feed an entire home. Ofcourse you can always start rigging antennas.. [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog][C.K. Sample, III: my iPod Blog] 12:54:56 AM comment
