...Based on our chosen organization and the layout of our upgraded design, the South Dakota Campus needed some revamping in order to meet its user needs and allow the network to flow without issues. It is important to understand how protocols play an important role in the decision making and upgrading of any network. We can start by understanding what a protocol is. A protocol is basically a way of ensuring that devices are able to talk to each other effectively. In most cases, a protocol describes how communication is accomplished between one particular software or hardware element in two or more devices. In the OSI model, a protocol is defined as a set of rules governing communication between entities at the same Reference Model layer. In other words, a protocol specifies a means of communication with predetermined agreements for effective relay of information. Protocols are important because they define a language and a set of rules and procedures that enable devices and systems to communicate. Network protocols ensure that all devices on a network are in agreement about how actions must be performed in the communication process. A few things needed to be considered in order to figure out the layout of our network and protocol. One key goal was to keep the network as basic and simple as possible, while still meeting all the requirements for communicating data packets. A data packet is a unit of data made into a single package that travels along a given network path...

...Unit 3 Strategy Formulation Ronald Rogers MGT680-1303A-01: Strategic Management American Intercontinental University Synopsis Often a business, particularly a startup, has little to no choice in when to introduce a product or service. However, given the opportunity, market information, and competition data, managers should be able to make valid choices concerning the release time of that product. This paper addresses the advantages and disadvantages of first move or late move into a market. It also explains how and why companies have succeeded and failed in both theories. Part One: First Mover Theory First Mover Advantages (FMA) FMAs have a unique opportunity to create barriers to competition such as limited resources and patents. They may have a sustainable advantage in technology that is Intellectual Property (IP), R&D, Patents, and resources. They have a monopoly of sorts, however short term that it may be (Lieberman & Montgomery, 1988). Rapid expansion of market share with a new product is extremely likely. Introducing new products involves in-depth market research and a large investment of time and other resources. The results of the market penetration by a first mover can be difficult to overcome for subsequent entries. Setting the benchmark is an advantage that first movers can exploit. If they introduce a product that becomes a high demand item, establish the brand name and provide good service, then they set the bar really high for late entries...

...COMPUTER NETWORK INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 1.What do you mean by data communication? Ans: It is the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium such as wire cable. The communicating system must be part of a communication system made up of a combination of hardware and software.The effectiveness of a data communication system depends on three fundamental characteristics: delivery, accuracy and timeliness. 2.What is simplex? Ans: It is the mode of communication between two devices in which flow of data is unidirectional. i.e. one can transmit and other can receive. E.g. keyboard and monitor. 3.What is half-duplex? Ans: It is the mode of communication between two devices in which flow of data is bidirectional but not at the same time. ie each station can transmit and receive but not at the same time. E.g walkie-talkies are half-duplex system. 4.What is full duplex? Ans: It is the mode of communication between two devices in which flow of data is bidirectional and it occurs simultaneously. Here signals going in either direction share the capacity of the link. E.g. telephone 5.What is a network? Ans: It is a set of devices connected by communication links. A node can be a computer or any other device capable of sending and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on the network. 6.What is distributed processing?

...30 Stephen E. Barndt aul Shipman, Chief Executive Officer of Redhook Ale Brewery, knew that he needed to reevaluate his strategy and its execution. Redhook's rapid growth had ended shortly after it invested in a major increase in production capacity. Operating at about 50% of production capacity, the company suffered a net loss in 1997 that continued into 1998. Redhook brewed only specialty beer, referred to as craft beer. Craft beer is a more flavorful, fuller bodied premium beer. follows traditional old world brewing methods. and uses high-quality materials. The company started as a microbrewery but grew continually and reached national status by the end of 1996. Shipman, one of Redhook's founders, had guided the company from a small player in one city to a leading position as a national competitor and aimed at dominating the craft beer segment of the domestic beer industry. The company's three small-batch breweries. two in the Pacific Northwest and one in the Northeast, had a combined design capacity of 575.000 barrels (each containing 31 gallons) per year of Redhook branded beer to tap a growing market for craft beer. However, growth in the craft beer market attracted attention, and competition grew from other microbreweries, brewpubs, regional specialty brewers, and from large mass-market brewers. With increased competition, 1996 saw the beginning of a downturn with a reduction in sal•• ~and profitability. P I Ccmpany History Redhook was started in 1981 by Paul...
