...Unit 5 Individual Project Abstract This paper will discuss Microsoft and its company’s practices and project management. Unit 5 Individual Project The Microsoft Company started by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who just started out by writing a computer program for many businesses. In 1975, they had an inspiration from popular electronics magazine, that featured an Altair microcomputer and they developed a BASIC, computer programming language for it (Microsoft Company History, 2008). So began the company of Micro-soft (Microsoft Company History, 2008). Microsoft believes that their social responsibility is to “To help people and businesses throughout the world realize their full potential” (technnet.com, 2012).

...Tibbetts 6/15/16 Unit 5 – Individual Project The Department of Homeland Security is one of the most important departments in our federal government. It is largely responsible for ensuring that the United States as a country is kept safe from harm, whether through natural or terrorist events. However, even a department as large as the DHS is unable to fully protect the homeland from every threat possible. There is no way to always cover every avenue for potential threat to the U.S. To combat this unfortunate reality, the DHS relies on help from private enterprise. The DHS includes an office, known as the Office of Policy, which includes the Private Sector Office as one of its sub-departments. The Private Sector Office provides the Secretary and Department leaders with advice on issues relevant to the private sector, including academia, non-profits, NGOs, and businesses (dhs.gov). In addition, the PSO helps create and foster strategic communications with the private sector to enhance the primary mission of the Department to protect the American homeland (dhs.gov). This paper will explain the involvement of the Department of Homeland Security with private enterprise via the PSO, explain why this involvement is crucial to the mission, and explain how the DHS uses private enterprise in the protection of critical infrastructure and key resources. This paper will also give examples of programs that address governments on all levels, private enterprises, or individuals in the DHS mission...

...MGMT350 - Unit 5 Individual Project American Intercontinental University January 3, 2012 How to have a successful interview Introduction (the intent and purpose of the paper) An interview is the most important element in the job searching process. When an employer contacts you for an interview, they are indicating that they are interested in bringing you on board. An interview helps you and the employer determine if the position would be a good fit. Employers hire by personality, confidence, enthusiasm, positive outlook on things, and whether or not someone has good interpersonal and communication skills. Identifying 5 general (common) questions you believe will likely be asked by most interviewers. After each question prepare a “response” for each question addressing how you personally would address each question (be detailed and thorough in your replies): • Question #1 – What do you expect to be doing in 5 years time? o My personal response to that question: 5 years from now, I would like to see myself in an executive position at Allina Hospital. There I will have the opportunity to train other employees and have more responsibilities. If I can learn the company surroundings, I can further my business education within the company. • Question #2 – What are your weaknesses? o My personal response to that question: I personally am not a self-confident person and I find it difficult to talk to people I don’t know. However...

...how to take it. Also, if she were to see a PCP, she could let the PCP be aware of any changes in her symptoms. She will also be able to talk about any side-effects of her medications with the PCP. If the girl had a PCP, she more than likely would not end up in the E.R. as frequently. 3. Should everyone be entitled to a basic minimum of healthcare or to the exact same healthcare? Yes, I feel everyone should be entitled to a basic minimum of healthcare due to the fact that basic minimum healthcare is essential. If an individual doesn’t have basic minimum healthcare, that individual will suffer from afflictions, agony, and they lose their spunk. Healthcare guarantees that individuals are not suffering needlessly. This brings me back to the girl with the asthma problems. If the condition gets too bad, she could die, and her mother is very upset. The daughter is suffering, and it is not her fault. In a civilized society, it is unethical for any individual to go...

...BCO1102 Information Systems for Business 2014 Semester 1 Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Welcome Welcome to BCO1102 Information Systems for Business for Semester 1, 2014. For the vast majority of you it will be a compulsory unit of study as it is part of the Business Core in all undergraduate Bachelor of Business degrees. The major focus of this unit is on how computer- based information systems can support decision making in organizations and businesses. Those decisions often need to be made by professionals who come from discipline areas you are studying such as accounting, management, information systems or marketing. One of the most important elements of an information system is people, so all of us need to know what role we can play and what role information and communication technologies (ICT) can play in supporting decisions. This unit will look at the theoretical side of information systems as well as personal productivity tools such as spread sheets and databases. In addition we will look at global trends in information systems and in particular the emerging use of Cloud Computing and Social Networking, which is sometimes called Web 2.0. The unit of study requires the textbook Introduction to Information Systems by Rainer, Prince and Cegielski 5th Edition. The textbook is used for the theory and some of the practical work in tutorials. All reading for this subject during the semester is assigned from this textbook. Feedback from previous...
