Dr. Lunde offers COLLIGATED^® Solutions and Systems, a corollary of his book, as an approach for executive review, evaluation, and management of their business. Effective managerial strategies succeed when executives acknowledge a logical view of decision-making styles. COLLIGATED^® Solutions and Systems Strategic Information Management (SIM) is a program expressed in proprietary software that enables executives, owners, and Board Directors to subsume (classify) accurate business intelligence within general or adapted strategic business principles.  Subsequently, Dr. Lunde offers clients a means to formulate, consolidate, and sustain distinctive business decision making proficiency that aims to, concurrently, influence an effective mergers and acquisition strategy.

Resourceful executives, owners, and Board Directors using Dr. Lunde's COLLIGATED^® Systems - SIM software can subsume (organize) accurate information within general and changing business principles.  Desired premises used to create an effective management strategy (business strategy review design, process, and performance) originate with the following business concerns:

• Definition and evaluation of core business competencies, values, and needs;
• Analysis and judgment of how the competitive enterprise operates;
• Business strategy review, effect, and assimilation with dynamic and often obscure external environmental forces.

COLLIGATED^® Solutions and Systems-SIM software program provides a design for formulating, consolidating, and strengthening executive, owner, and Board Director decision-making acumen. As a result, proficient business analysis generates effective managerial strategies for a mergers and acquisition valuation of the business while strengthening the business's strategic position in its sectors.

A business decision-making model produced by Mr. Greg Lunde, Advanced Technologies: Marketing Management and Business Strategy, was aimed at marketing advanced technology products. His decision-making model also pertained to NASA sponsored Commercial Program Office proposals for wide ranging industrial research and projects that were to be conducted on the space shuttle and for the future space station. Recommendations included:

• Satellite communication ground terminal transmittal (uplink transponders) and receiving dish equipment (prelude to DirecTv) for the Satellite Ground Equipment Laboratories;

• Satellite test equipment for pre-orbital product stress testing, design changes, and success/failure thresholds; and

• Electronic and systems test consulting for the proposed space industry business.

Executives were counseled about the use of computers and software for commercial business product development, cost control, pricing, and total quality practices.

Mr. Lunde also justified the capital appropriations for acquiring a Computer Aided Planning (CAP) system that included hardware and software purchases for the Space Vehicle Assemblies and Systems Integration Division. The Computer Aided Planning System's detailed configuration management plan applied to the assembly of communications satellites. An IBM 4381 mainframe computer was selected because of its direct access storage capacity and its ability to support a read-only CADAM blueprint drawing access method (softcopy/colorcopy) on 60 cost effective IBM 3270 personal computers.

Targeting the Use of Computing Machinery was a MIS (Management Information Systems) project that Mr. Lunde presented for evaluating the probability of placing computers in the Systems Operations-Spacecraft Testing Division. The results from A Productivity Time Survey and Questionnaire, A Task Per Project Time Survey, and an Actual Versus Perceptual Analysis set priorities for management and engineering tasks per project in the following categories: Engineering, Equipment, Testing, Business Management, Computing Equipment Use, Paper Processing, Communications, and Miscellaneous. The Productivity Time Survey results were analyzed with spreadsheet, matrix, and decision tree design mathematical theorems. Data evaluation and analyses were manipulated with Oracle software run on a DEC VAX and merged with Lotus 1-2-3 software run on an IBM Personal Computer.

The Business Decision-Support Systems interactive software research effort presented by Mr. Lunde examined the feasibility of connecting mainframe uploading and downloading capabilities with those of personal computers. Desirable software features included the following prerequisites: (a) production, financial, marketing, and managerial applications that were interactive and nonprocedural; (b) a windowed English language menu; (c) modeling capabilities for simultaneous goal search and sensitivity analysis; (d) row/column (matrix) driven operations; (e) logic (models) separate from a relational data base format; (f) highly resolute graphics with "3-D" simulation; and (g) report writing features allowing for both informal and formal organizational reporting from models linked to existing information files. Several software provider firms were evaluated but none selected due to the volatile nature of the "business decision-support systems" commercial atmosphere.

Mr. Lunde's successful application for building a $1,500,000 Industrial Park at Velva, ND, resulted in the Park's designation as the site for a sunflower seed oil processing plant. The Cogeneration Technologies: Industrial Development Financing project was financed through programs from the US Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Development Block Grant.

Mr. Lunde's application materials helped win $45,000,000 for building and operating a seed oil processing plant with joint venture participants Midwest Processing, Pillsbury, and the Staley Corporation.

Neal 42 megawatt generating station) that integrated cogeneration technology using waste heat and excess sunflower seed hulls. In 1989, the Archer Daniels Midland Company, the new owner, began processing canola oil at the seed oil processing plant.
