...Week 3 Team Assignment NTC/362 November 24, 2014 OSI Model The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) has been a reference for model network protocols since the mid-1990s. The OSI is formally known as the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model ISO/IEC 7498-1. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is a global standards-settings group that is comprised of members from various national standards groups. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is another global standards-settings group; however, it focuses on electrical, electronic, and related technologies. (Foundational Focus: OSI Model-Breaking Down the Seven Layers, 2013) The OSI model is comprised of seven layers, with layer one positioned at the bottom of the layer stack and layer seven at the top. The layers have assigned names as well as number references. Layer 7, the application layer, is the interface between the protocol stack and application software. The software might be client or utilities or server services. It is the ability of software to communicate with the standardized interface of application layer protocols that makes network communications possible. Layer 6, the presentation layer, establishes the context between disparate application layer protocols. Effectively, the presentation layer adjusts syntax, semantics, data types, data formats, etc. This layer ensures that data sent by the application is compatible with the lower layers of network communication and that data...

...McDonald’s: Behind The Golden Arches “Since 1955, we’ve been proud to serve the world some of its favourite food. And along the way, we’ve managed not just to live history, but create it: from drive-thru restaurants to Chicken McNuggets to college credits from Hamburger U and much more. It’s been quite the journey, and we promise this is just the beginning-we’ve got our hearts set on making more history” (McDonald’s Corporation, 2011). Almost 60 years have passed since Raymond Kroc envisioned a nationwide fast food chain, which needless to say went on to revolutionise the American restaurant industry and become the world’s number #1 fast food restaurant. Today McDonald’s serves 52 million people a day from one of its 31,000 restaurants dotted around the world (Ritabrata Giiosii, R.G. 2009). The golden arches along with Ronald McDonald and the catch phrase “I’m lovin’ it” have assisted McDonald’s in becoming one of the most globally recognised brands, allowing them to become McDonald’s most valuable intangible assets, but how did they do it? Countless elements threaten McDonald’s reputation; health issues, legal and technological changes, social factors, environmentalists and obviously competitors especially those who offer similar services and products such as KFC. They too have become a national brand recognized all around the world however to understand how McDonalds have achieved such success we must first understand what they do differently and what objectives...

Brief history of a monitor The video display terminal, or VDT, marked the early days of computer monitors. These VDTs included a screen and attached keyboard linked to a larger computer by a serial connection. Because VDTs required a connection to a larger computer, they were often referred to as "dumb terminals." Dumb terminals displayed text only in two colors, usually black and green. The Apple II and first game machines began using a television CRT. IBM's CRT The ssssst of its new PS/2 computer system. The display technology allowed for 256 different colors and 640 x 480 resolutions. Despite the appearance of newer display techniques, VGA has become a computer monitor standard. Indeed, the VGA may have become the impetus for the modern computer gaming industry as the increased color palette made graphics possible. Up to this point, computer displays were limited to text. RESEARCH Types of Monitors A cathode ray tube or CRT CRT technology, computer monitors continue to be referred to as "The Tube". A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen.

...Chapter 1 Mastering Strategy: Art and Science LEARNING OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, you should be able to understand and articulate answers to the following questions: 1. What are strategic management and strategy? 2. Why does strategic management matter? 3. What elements determine firm performance? Strategic Management: A Core Concern for Apple The Opening of the Apple Store Image courtesy of Neil Bird, http://www.flickr.com/photos/nechbi/2058929337. March 2, 2011, was a huge day for Apple. The firm released its much-anticipated iPad2, a thinner and faster version of market-leading Apple’s iPad tablet device. Apple also announced that a leading publisher, Random House, had made all seventeen thousand of its books available through Apple’s iBookstore. Apple had enjoyed tremendous success for quite some time. Approximately fifteen million iPads were sold in 2010, and the price of Apple’s stock had more than tripled from early 2009 to early 2011. Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/books Saylor.org 4 But future success was far from guaranteed. The firm’s visionary founder Steve Jobs was battling serious health problems. Apple’s performance had suffered when an earlier health crisis had forced Jobs to step away from the company. This raised serious questions. Would Jobs have to step away again? If so, how might Apple maintain its excellent performance without its leader? Meanwhile, the iPad2 faced daunting competition. Samsung...
