Assigment # 2.1


 

Assignment 2.1: Justification Report – Part 1

Due Week 3 and worth 150 points

In Assignments 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, you will be building up a formal, researched justification report (one part at a time) that culminates in a recommendation to implement a particular product, service, or program in your place of employment. This recommended product, service, or program should resolve a problem that you identify in your workplace and should be directed to your employer (even if you do not actually plan to share it with your employer).

Use the basic outline below to draft Assignment 2. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

  • Problem Statement (for Question 1)
  • Overview of Alternatives (for Question 2)
  • Criteria (for Question 3)
  • Methods (for Question 4)

Using the provided template, write Part 1 of a single spaced report in which you:

  1. Discuss in detail a problem at work, persuading and convincing the reader that it needs fixing.
  2. Provide a detailed description of two (2) possible solutions (“alternatives”) that could be implemented to resolve the problem identified in Question 1.
  3. List and detail five (5) criteria that you will use to measure the worth of each alternative in Question 2. Note: The alternative that satisfies the most criteria to the highest degree will be the one you recommend later to your employer (in Assignment 2.3). Criteria are standards that the audience values and are therefore used to measure the worth of each alternative (common examples include cost, desirability, durability, efficiency, time it will take to implement, and practicality).
  4. Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best alternative to recommend to your employer. Note: This is a one to two (1 2) paragraph description of what research needs to be completed in order to evaluate the alternatives. This is not a detailed procedure for solving the problem.

Your assignment must:

  • Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Support ideas or claims in body paragraphs with clear details, examples, and explanations.
  • Organize ideas logically by using transitional words, phrases, and sentences.
  • Use sentence variety and effective word choice in written communication.
  • Apply writing process strategies to develop formal business reports and / or proposals.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues related to selected topics.
  • Write clearly and concisely using proper writing mechanics.

Assignment 2: Weekly Assignment: Analysis and Research for the Decision Making Process

Read the synopsis of the scenario you viewed at the beginning of this module: (see below under “This is all the information I have.”).

 

The two companies will need to merge their business information systems or find a new one that will work in a distributed organizational environment. The first order of business is to determine which platform would be best.

You will analyze what needs to be done for the platform analysis. In order to determine the solution, you must first understand what information you already have or need in order to move forward.

Estimate the future growth opportunities of Summit Solutions, Inc. and determine the most appropriate business information systems to accommodate the merger and future growth.

  • Describe at least three characteristics of enterprise architecture
  • Describe how enterprise architectures support information and can create value for the organization.
  • Compare open, proprietary, and web service business information systems and describe which will work in a distributed organizational environment.
  • Support and defend the decision for Summit Solutions, Inc. to run on “open” platform. Use at least 3 outside resources in your response

Write a 3 to 5 page report in Word format. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work.

My class ebook is:

Baltzan, P. & Phillips, A. (2009). Business driven information systems (2nd ed.). Boston, MA: McGraw Hill/Irwin. Retrieved from http://digitalbookshelf.argosy.edu/#/books/007 7376919/pages/48416828

This is all the information I have.

Hey, I need your attention on a project!  You may not be aware of this, but our company is in the process of acquiring The Wing Company and will become a very large distributed organization called Summit Solutions, Inc.  As a result, we need to review all of our business applications to make sure they will run on an open platform. If not, I will expect you, and any other personnel you will need to involve, to use a structured approach to determine the platform needed in order to run the latest business apps.  Will this require a new infrastructure or just software? That’s one of the recommendations you people are going to have for me. That’s why we hired you.  I need you to get input from each of the end users so you know which system is preferred. You will need to determine if the requests are feasible and can operate in our environment.   Oh, and keep in mind security issues particularly since so many more people will soon have access to our computer system.  I expect you to be on top of the latest technology trends and factor those into your decisions. Now I don’t care where you get this information, maybe it’s from Fortune and Business Week or maybe you get it from colleagues. But I expect you to be forward thinking in these matters.  To get started, we need to evaluate our IT department to determine and analyze the following:

Are all the software solutions being utilized by both companies up to date on licensing?

What type of maintenance agreements do we have for upgrading our solutions? Are they valid at both locations now?

Efficiency are we utilizing all available IT options to operate as efficiently as possible?

Effectiveness are we utilizing all available IT options to operate as effectively as possible?

Do we have or need a data warehouse capability at one or both of our company headquarters? DSS needed or do we already have one in place that works for us?

Do we need to move into an Ebusiness plan or Internet strategy in order to increase profitability?

The resulting data will be presented with our off site companies, so make sure you address each of their specialty areas. Keep in mind the various regulatory items that each organization has and make sure our applications can address these.

Got it? Great. Thanks.

 

What the CIO said…

Hey, about that acquisition we discussed last week—it seems that we aren’t going to get anywhere with this IS merge until we provide top management with a plan for strategic decision making. I’m stuck in executive committee meetings all week so I need you to

put together some information for the CEOs. I need you to determine who from our company

and Wing should be involved in IS decisions. I don’t need specific names right now but just give me the departments and personnel level that should be included and the rationale behind those choices. We will need to establish some kind of process for how IS decisions should and will be made. There is probably some technology in the picture as well.  In fact, the CEOs were asking if decisions will be made using information from the existing IS. They also want to know the pros and cons for using technology for decision making. I think we’d better also tell them how often strategic plans should be reviewed as well as how we will determine which plan to implement.

Do what you can to get these issues wrapped up this week. You can try catching me on my cell phone or by e mail if needed, but I will be tied up in meetings all week, so my response may be delayed. I’m counting on you—I have no doubt you can handle this without me. Thanks.

For this Assignment, you will draft recommendations of policy changes through the evaluation of an existing policy. To do this, you will conduct smart (best) practices research, and will draw on the best practices you identify to bolster your recommended policy changes. A great place to start your research is at the NGA Center for Best Practices: Environment, Energy, and Transportation website (see Unit 7: Extra! Extra!).

 

Once your research is complete, write a 4−5 page paper that clearly states your recommendations to your chosen policy area and supports these recommendations.

 

You should:

 

  • Select a policy from an area of interest to you, and find areas inside or outside of environmental policy from which to borrow or adapt potential improvements to that policy.

  • Formulate proposed recommendations to your policy area that includes the best practices you have researched. Be sure to clearly state your recommendations, and what policy you are basing your recommendations on.

  • Argue a convincing case explaining why the policy changes based on borrowed practices would be more effective over time and across stakeholders.

  • Assess the impact the recommendations will have on different stakeholders and interests.

  • Compare alternative choices of best practices that would inform appropriate policy changes. In your memo, include why you did not incorporate these alternative choices in your recommendations.

 

 

Please let me know if this is something you can complete! Thanks!

/in /by

Effective leadership negotiation strategies are helpful in building a sphere of influence, especially in times of emergency or a crisis. In this assignment, you will analyze a case study video and perform a situational analysis. The activity will allow you to assess the crisis situation and examine factors that affect the final resolution of the problem.

The purpose of this assignment is to develop your leadership and crisis management skills by using a real life case study example.

Case Study: On July 19, 1989, United Airways Flight 232 DC 10 was en route from Denver to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, via Chicago. The plane had to make an emergency crash landing in Sioux City, Iowa, because of an engine failure that occurred 1 hour into the flight. Approximately 296 passengers including business people, vacationers, and children were on board.

Access the video about the air crash investigation for United Airlines, Flight 232 byclicking here. View at least the first 28 minutes of the clip. You may view the entire clip (44:01 minutes) if you wish.

Part 1: Personal Profile
The case study includes several characters such as the captain, the copilot, a DC 10 flight training instructor, and a senior flight attendant who play a crucial role in the final outcome of the crisis.

  1. Captain Al Haynes
  2. The copilot, Bill Records
  3. DC 10 flight training instructor, Denny Fitch
  4. Senior flight attendant, Jan Brown Lohr

Select two of the characters involved in this case study and create a personal profile of each including their title, work type, position in job, education, training, and personality type. Include both of the personal profiles as appendices in your research paper.

Use your assigned readings, information from the Argosy library, the Internet and the case study video clip provided to develop a research paper that answers the questions below in Part 2.

Part 2: Choose one of the two characters you profiled and answer these questions in a 5 7 page research paper.

  • Critically examine the role of the crew on board and explain situations that needed more attention and that could have been addressed within the given constraints.
  • Describe at least three factors that affected the resolution of the problem.
  • What is the main goal of the character you are analyzing? Support your response.
  • How effective or ineffective was the individual in his/her attempt to meet the goals? Why?
  • What specific personal negotiation and leadership skills did he or she demonstrate throughout the crisis?
  • How well does the individual know himself or herself, and how effectively or ineffectively did he or she adapt to the circumstances and personalities involved on board Flight 232?

Complete a 5 to 7 page paper in Word format, citing sources of information. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work. Make sure to include both of your personal profiles as appendices in your paper

discussion question 6

/in /by

In this course, the Discussion Boards will focus on practical issues regarding analytics in the practical world. If you do not want to comment on your organization (due to confidentiality issues or if your experience does not fit the Assignment) then comment on another organization that you are familiar with. You may also do research on a company and base your answers on your findings.

Remember that you must answer the discussion question by Saturday and must post on three separate days. Please see the syllabus for details on Discussion Board requirements.

This discussion is based on the article “A pyramid of decision approaches” by Paul Schoemaker and Edward Russo from California Management review. Make sure to acquire this article before starting the discussion.

While analytics is very valuable, it is not practical to analyze every decision situation. In the fast pace of the business world, you often allow rules of thumb to replace analysis. Making decisions based on rules allow us not only to save time but also take advantage of the expertise and experience of those who developed the rule for us. Unfortunately, you do not always recognize when you should question the rules and instead make an alternative decision based on your own analysis. Being able to know when not to use the rules as given is a critical skill in applying analytics efficiently.

The article you will use this week is pretty long and covers various approaches to decision making. You will focus on the discussion on rules that starts on page 12. You will question your own organization’s use of rules and see if you can find improvements.

For this discussion, you will apply the six steps listed on page 15. Please use the template below in your analysis.

 

Step 1: The rule

Identify an important rule of thumb from your organization that is used to make quick decisions.

Step 2: Success example

Give an example of where this rule comes close to the correct decision.

Step 3: Failure example

Give an actual example of where it failed badly and explain why.

Step 4: Limits

Construct cases where the rule would produce disastrous results (to understand its limits).

Step 5: Improvements

Generate possible improvements of the rule. How can analytics help in avoiding failure?

Step 6: Testing

Describe how the new rule would be tested before being implemented organization wide.

answer following two questions

/in /by

150 words

The Internal Revenue Service allows businesses to choose to recover all or part of the cost of certain qualifying property, up to a limit, by deducting it in the year a business places the property in service. This is known as the section 179 deduction. Choosing the section 179 deduction is an option instead of recouping the cost by taking depreciation deductions over time. Please review the following and answer as follows: 1) did you know about this, 2) do you know if your employer ever utilizes Section 179, 3) how do you see this option as potentially valuable?
