...Video Game Design and Game Management Research Paper Game design is more than just fun and games. It can be a hobby even a lifestyle. Game design will be perfect for someone who loves video games and for those who want to see how they will be created. I am a person who really enjoys video games, and I will even enjoy seeing all of the basics of the game, all the way from the creation of the weaponry in the game, to the detailed graphics that were produced within the game. A gaming manager is perfect for someone who enjoys seeing people’s lives wasted in the casino, blowing all of their money on their addiction. Although if that was the only reason to do this job then I suggest changing your attitude on life. A gaming manager makes sure that all of the games in a casino are going well and that no one is cheating by counting cards and/or stealing from the casino. For me, Game Design and Gaming Management are two extremely interesting careers. To become a successful game designer, one should have many talents and specialties within the field. A good personality trait that one should possess is creativity, being open to suggestions, and being able to put what comes to mind down onto a piece of paper. One must be collaborative as well as having a huge passion for games. To be successful, a good education is required. Very few game designers only have a high school diploma. Even very few have an Associate’s Degree in this occupation. A good suggestion is for one to get a Bachelor’s...

...SYSTEM DESIGN & MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS System Design & Management Analysis Veronica Brown-Corbin University of Phoenix Contemporary Systems Management MGT/736 Brian E. Polding, Ph.D March 12, 2007 System Design & Management Analysis Management must recognize the system design and management of an organization are subject to internal and external influences. The internal influences include the management team and employee; and the external influences can include competitors and customers. There are contextual/cultural factors and stakeholders that have an influence on the management system that is designed and implemented. The contextual/cultural factors include key characteristics of the organization, internal and external relations, competitive landscape, strategic opportunities and challenges, and performance improvement. This is an opportunity for executive management to become acquainted with how these influences shape the organization’s context and maximize value for stakeholders. “Leadership’s job was to get the strategy right, design the correct structure, and then tie the strategy to structure through defined systems to deliver high-quality performance” (Nowicki & Summers, 2007, p.118). This is not an easy process and takes time and input from several sources. The leadership in the organization has to guide the organization so that the goals and objectives are met. The performance of the organization will benefit from a well carried out strategic plan...

SCM can have tremendous impact on organizational performance in terms of cost, quality, flexibility an responsiveness in the global market. Companies are investing in data driven decision support application frameworks to help then response to the changing market condition and customer needs. A more defined organizational structure, performance metrics and decision support systems (DSS) in SCM is required to create competitive advantages for an organization. Since Information Technology/Information System (IT/IS) is an integral component of SCM, DSS is inevitable in making available the right information at the right time so that managers can make timely and more accurate decisions. However, there is no best known DSS type that is required to effectively manage a supply chain. A properly designed DSS will help decision makers to extract useful information from raw data, documents, personal knowledge and/or business models with the objective of identifying and solving problems, and making decisions. Decision Support Systems (DSS) are a specific class of computerized information system that supports business and organizational decision-making activities. The DSS in supply chain management can be a model, communication, data, document and knowledge driven. Three fundamental components of DSS...

...in the process, we have lost experienced employee talent. Middle management has accepted the challenge to develop a PBA Design to Release Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet process will assist our Research and Development organization in achieving the company’s goal to honor its contractual obligations to customers. Since budget cuts are in place, the spreadsheet will be developed based on existing resources and work force. We must view this as a “process improvement” effort. The current process has groups working serially. This causes bottlenecks. If one group misses their date, it creates a chain reaction of missed dates through the other groups. Currently we are not tracking any of the obstacles that can occur during the design phase. By using the spreadsheet, all participants will have an opportunity to log their input, and flag any concerns. The spreadsheet will contain the following items: • PBA requirements • Task Definitions • Time to complete • Issues/Comments • Release Date CREATE A CORE TEAM The Core Team will be comprised of one member from each group. Each group will select an individual to represent them in a Team Lead capacity on the Core Team. Assignment of an arbitrator will be necessary to make a judgement if deadlocks occur.

...Third Tier Suppliers: These companies provide basic products like rubber, glass, steel, plastic and aluminium to the second tier suppliers. Second Tier Suppliers: These companies design vehicle systems or bodies for First Tier Suppliers and OEMs. They work on designs provided by the first tier suppliers or OEMs. They also provide engineering resources for detailed designs. Some of their services may include welding, fabrication, shearing, bending etc. First Tier Suppliers: These companies provide major systems directly to assemblers. These companies have global coverage, in order to follow their customers to various locations around the world. They design and innovate in order to provide “black-box” solutions for the requirements of their customers. Black-box solutions are solutions created by suppliers using their own technology to meet the performance and interface requirements set by assemblers. First tier suppliers are responsible not only for the assembly of parts into complete units like dashboard, breaks-axel-suspension, seats, or cockpit but also for the management of second-tier suppliers. Automakers/Vehicle Manufacturers/Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs): After researching consumers’ wants and needs, automakers begin designing models which are tailored to consumers’ demands. The design process normally takes five years. These companies have manufacturing units where engines are manufactured and parts supplied by first tier suppliers and second tier suppliers are...

... global manufacturers: product life cycle management (PLM) software. The research and development team had been using computer-aided-design (CAD) software”(Pearson & Saunders, 2013, p. 165). The old software took a lot longer (7 months) for the company to develop a design. If the prototype didn’t work, it took another 7 months to develop a new design and so on and so on. If the design didn’t work it was financially draining on the company. Accessing and using the new software PLM was the key to their success. 1.a.) Why was that factor the key? The new IT provided the company with the capabilities of; simulation of rough terrains; tracking of all variables and running a simulation in minutes instead of 7 hours. Thus, the new software allowed the company to develop designs quickly and the simulation allowed the team to watch all concerns (variables) of the stimulation. The software allows faster redesign of any and all elements that may be needed it instead of fixing one at a time. 2.) What outside factors had to come together for Santa Cruz Bicycles to be able to make the changes they did? “The company designed and patented the Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) suspension system, a means to absorb the shocks that mountain bikers encounter when on the rough terrain of the off-road ride” (Pearson & Saunders, 2013, pp. 164-165).

All the design need to follow the base emotion characters of the new space. A list of detailed functionality and respective physical requirements are also detailed in this guidelines, such as study, eat, rest, presentation etc. Building on the required functions, the new MMH lounge will be relocated at the back of the existing one and the space will be double to 850 Sqft. Emotion Character Keywords: home, relaxing, belonging, control, connected, vibrant, neat, trendy, warm The base of emotion character generation lies on the analysis of target users, who are the MMH students. As graduate students who are in such an intense program, MMHers spend majority of their time at school even on weekends. The base line of emotion we want to high light is the feeling of home, where the concept of “home away from home” comes from. Derived from the base emotion, we can set other emotions that we want to express through design process.
