...The maturity assessment matrix describes how well the information system is embedded in the organisation. This has five components: ➢ Business objectives: how well the information is aligned to business objectives. For example, does the information relate to the organisation’s patient focused service lines and move towards outcome based services? ➢ Organisational process: are objectives, strategies and operational decisions based on relevant and accurate information? ➢ People: does the organisation have access to people with the right skills to produce and analyse information in a timely and pro-active manner? ➢ Data: is information based on robust and verifiable data? ➢ Technology: does the system use fit-for-purpose technology to collect and process data in a secure and cost-effective way? The maturity of an organisation’s information system is further classified into five tiers ranging from ‘basic’ to ‘leading’. Tier 1 is indicative of a very basic model in which business objectives and process are not aligned to the needs of the stakeholders. For example, there may be an under-resourced team using manual systems with incomplete or inconsistent information. As an organisation gradually becomes more mature, it may move along the maturity assessment matrix through the four additional tiers of evolving; sustained; advanced and leading. A leading model is fully aligned to business objectives and actively supports business process...

The possible success of the future market for EVs is based on how much of EVs’ value can be perceived by their potential customers. Thus, research on customer perceived value (CPV) of EVs can help us, and especially EV manufacturers, understand the main factors contributing to CPV and how to design suitable EVs that can yield higher CPV. This paper first constructs a multi-scale model for the measurement of CPV based on surveys conducted at Shanghai, China. Then, the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method is applied to evaluate the importance of every scale and depict the internal relations among different scales on the impact-relations map (IRM). Further, a novel version of the house of quality is created to conduct technical feasibility analysis for the improvement of each scale. Finally, market segmentation for EV industry is proposed and discussed based on the analysis...

...What factors do you think contributed to the level of success your team achieved? I believe our team achieved an 8/10 score for our level of success. Initially our team got off to a rocky start, our inability to pick a subject choice I believe inhibited and reduced our research time. However, once we started with some real direct communication and the team members (including myself) were able to contribute effectively, our opinions and ideas started to flow. Creating the google doc and having a structured matrix made communication and providing information easier. The content of our subject choice did change 2-3 times during this process, but I think that this enabled us to think as a team and work to everyone’s strengths. It was using the google drive and the document matrix where we were able to establish which team member would undertake what communication style sub-topic and which themes were most suitable to utilise across each sub-topic. Using the Wiki, emails and Google Docs made communication easier as 1 of our team members lives in a different country and time zone. We were able to bandy suggestions back and forth through these methods and the delay in time didn’t make much of an impact. With regards to the Prezi itself, Megan chose to design and manipulate the Prezi structure and layout. Being that Megan had, had previous experience with Prezi, the rest of the team were happy with this choice. In our team collaboration through Blackboard, we were able to see...

...Realities Two-Way Street Ignorance is bliss. This phrase, however comforting, is a provocative statement to the debilitating state of society and the human state of mind; the dual-edged comment is represented in both Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the Wachoski brother’s The Matrix through universes, similar to our own, where people are in strong states of illusion and ignorance. Both have a character, which is brought to the “light” to realize this false reality and to liberate everyone else to a better reality, the “real” reality. Situations can arise where having knowledge of it can seem detrimental, however, our very existence as human beings is to live a life of bettering ourselves and the species in general through knowledge both good and bad, and the actions that take place from knowledge. People do actions and make decisions based on history from what he has done wrong or from what he has done correctly and on this basis it is a stepping stone that either good or bad having knowledge of the past, complete knowledge, helps to mold the future positively. Although blissful, avoiding reality will never be a positive action with even in modern days something such as Facebook has become our matrix keeping people away from the outside, not personally and physically interacting with others or now having games that are virtually realities allowing someone to be something else but does not benefit the world in any way. The lack of benefit world is where virtual reality does its...

...* 1 Lesson: Linear Models and the Distributive Property Write an Expression Using the Distributive Property over Multiplication Some expressions representing real-world situations can be easily written in the form [[ a bx+c ]]. When solving problems with expressions written in this form, you will use the distributive property over multiplication. Example: You and your friend are selling raffle tickets for the local rotary club. Tickets are sold for $2 each. Your friend has already sold 100 tickets, and you are going to sell the remaining tickets. Write an expression for the total amount made from raffle ticket sales. In this problem, you are comparing two quantities: the number of tickets that you sell and the total amount of money made from ticket sales. In the first row of the table, write the column headings to describe the two quantities. The number of tickets that you sell is measured in tickets and the total amount of money made from ticket sales is measured in dollars. In the second row of the table, write the units used to measure each quantity. The problem states that the tickets are sold for $2 each and your friend has already sold 100 tickets. Use a variable, such as [[x ]], to represent the number of tickets that you sell. You can determine the total amount of money made from ticket sales by multiplying the total number of tickets sold, [[100+x ]], by the cost of each ticket, 2. The expression [[ 2100+x ]] represents the total amount of money made from ticket...

...Essay PHIL 201 July 7, 2014 Essay After reading these pieces I concluded that the central theme is being awaken from a false reality but each piece differs in the action that follow the awakening. The Matrix is set in a futuristic setting, where the theory of being controlled by a massive computer is a real possibility. What I find most interesting is that Plato actually describes the concept of The Matrix, almost as if Plato’s dialogue was used an inspiration. In The Matrix and Plato’s dialogue, humans are not physically living the life they perceive as “real” but are stationary beings who are forced to live a false reality prescribe to them. This is where René Descartes’ excerpt differs from the previously mentioned. The person is aware of possibility that what he knows as true could be false, that how could we know if what we are living is done consciously or if our existence is but a dream. All of the excerpts also rely on the reasoning that the mind is the sole contributor of our existence and our physical senses only respond to what the mind knows. The differences in the readings is based on the actions or possible outcomes that occur once the awakening has taken place. In The Matrix, Neo decides to act and decides to embark on a journey to discover reality not being controlled by a computer. Plato’s dialogue is different because this is based on a hypothetically theory, so while there is no physically action the questions lies in how would people respond to...

...The Tools of Cooperation and Change Clayton M. Christensen, Matt Marx and Howard Stevenson Harvard Business Review October 2006 Introduction Christensen, Marx and Stevenson outline how a manager might use various methods to encourage people to work together towards successful change. The ability to get results and to be a successful change agent depends on the manager’s ability to select the proper motivation/change tools that will work within the situation and work environment they are facing. Assessing the Existing Level of Change The first step in selecting the proper tools to implement change is to assess the level of agreement in the organization based on two dimensions. Those dimensions being: • The extent to which people agree on what they want; the results they see from participation; values and priorities and trade-offs they are willing to make to achieve those goals. • The extent to which people agree on cause and effect; which actions will lead to the desired outcomes. When people have a shared understanding of cause and effect, they will usually agree about which processes to adopt. Four Types of Cooperation Tools These are the tools a manager can use to help implement change within the organization. It is vital to use the proper tools in the correct situation, otherwise there can be even more damage. The four types of tools are: • Power tools – ex. Force, coercion, threats • Management tools – ex. Training, operating systems, measurement systems ...

...Week 5 Essay After reading the three readings, I can see some similarity and differences between the readings from the philosophers. Comparing the Matrix and Plato’s, the similarity is they both agree that the life we are experiencing is not as real as what it appears to be. It is simply an illusion and a life that we can question and doubt about. From Matrix’s story this happens when Neo ‘the hacker’ had a dream that made him think about the reality and the thought that there is something more to life. When Morpheus came and told him “that the world is an illusion, an elaborate system of deception perpetrated to keep people contentedly under control” (Wachowski & Wachowski, 1999). Neo then choose to eat the pill and see the truth that the human race is only relying on a machine to keep their bodies alive. Human beings are actually unconscious, therefore they are controlled by the machine. Because of this, what we see or do today happens because we are programmed into a computer simulation called Matrix. From Plato’s allegory, we see it when Socrates described men’s nature being as prisoners since childhood; being chained inside a cavern not being able to move their heads, but only looking. When one of the prisoners was released and was given the opportunity to see the light; and guided with what was going on. The human being that has seen the light will think what “he had seen before was all a cheat and an illusion. He will then want to turn toward real things”...
