...Project management skills are an important aspect for anyone seeking to get into the management field. Many employers are looking for these skills in their candidates because most of the work is managed by using some type of process to make sure the project is incorporated into the company correctly. One aspect is to manage a project using known methodologies taught during this course but the other component is about learning to integrate personal morals and standards when necessary in making decisions. The course Info Systems Capstone (ISM 491a) challenged me to think critically about managing a project from beginning to end and how to make decisions based on morals and personal influences. I will explain the things I was taught during my journey through this course, and how it has influenced my feelings, knowledge, actions, and Biblical views of the way I live my own life....

...The domain name info is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. The name is derived from information indicating that the domain is intended for informative Internet resources, although registration requirements do not prescribe any theme orientation. The info TLD was a response to ICANN's highly publicized announcement[citation needed], in late 2000, of a phased release of seven new generic top-level domains. The event was the first addition of major gTLDs since the Domain Name System was developed in the 1980s. The seven new gTLDs, selected from over 180 proposals, were meant in part to take the pressure off the com domain.[1] The info domain has been the most successful of the seven new domain names, with over 5.2 million domain names in the registry as of April 2008. After the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York switched to the easier to remember mta.info website to lead users to latest information on schedules and route changes on the area's transportation services. Even in 2013, a website, Current Score info, was formed to provide current score of Football and Cricket across India. ICANN and Afilias have also sealed an agreement for country names to be reserved by ICANN under resolution 01.92.[2] info is an unrestricted domain, meaning that anyone can obtain a second-level domain under info for any purpose, similar to the com, net or org domains. This is in contrast...

...Running head: Course Project Course Project MIS Abstract The company that I chose to identity business issues is Motorola mobility, which is now a subsidiary of Lenovo which was just recently purchased from Google. Motorola Inc. split into two separate companies back in 2011. They manufacture smartphones and mobile devices that run on the Android operating system. Since it conception in 2011, it has gone through a lot of change, obviously the two biggest changes are being sold to Google and more recently Lenovo. Some major issues the company has is it’s slow to market performance. The areas discussed will focus in on how Motorola could learn from other companies and the different processes of Managing an organization in order to produce products in a timely manner Changes in Technology The first major change was Google’s purchase of the company. This obviously had a major effect on the upper management and how Google is going to integrate its management with the existing management. In addition, Google was faced with how to overcome the software issues with the Android operating system; however, since they recently sold that business off to Lenovo and kept the patent, they will pass that issue on. Lenovo will have to rely on the existing management and technical staff along its management and staff, which can cause some difficulties due to the difference in culture between the two companies. It is important to have a strong CIO to manage all of these different...

...Problem: Car Services Ltd (CSL) rends motor vehicle breakdown recovery service to its members. It attracts new members through a television advertising campaign that encourages potential clients to telephone a free call number for further information and the opportunity to immediately enroll with a credit card. Members are offered the choice of three levels of annual service contract in descending order of coverage and price: Gold, Silver and Standard. The telephone inquiries come through to a call centre staffed by CSL employees at the company’s premises who are paid a basic salary and a bonus of each new member that they successfully enroll. Located in the same building on another floor is the Car Hospital (CH) team who take the calls from the stranded motorists and arrange for a franchised garage to deal with the breakdown. These garages are independently owned and CSL pay them a fee for every callout that they undertake. CSL has recently (after January 2004) commenced employing trained mechanics on enhanced salaries to dispense technical advice to members on the telephone in the hope that a proportion of the call-outs to franchised garages will be avoided. Detailed information on costs, revenues, business activity and staff is displayed in the following tables.

...twenty (120) thousand Euros. If the proposal for the second building is accepted the earnings will be seventy (70) thousand Euros. The final profit is given by the total earnings (resulting from the accepted proposals) minus the total costs of preparation of the proposals. The architecture company has the option to submit no proposal, to submit a proposal for only one of the buildings, or to submit proposals for the two buildings. Any of the submitted proposals may be accepted or rejected. If two proposals are submitted, it is possible that none is accepted, only one is accepted, or both are accepted. In the particular case that both proposals are submitted and both are accepted then there will be severe problems implementing both projects simultaneously implying an extra cost of fifty (50) thousand Euros (to be deducted from profits). There is a 50% probability that a proposal for the first building is accepted. The probability that a proposal for the second building is accepted is 50%. The acceptance of one proposal is independent of the acceptance of the other proposal. Answer the following questions by presenting your calculations and justifying your answers. (a) If the maximum EMV decision criterion is adopted, should any proposals be submitted? If yes, for only one building (which one?) or for both? What is the EMV for the optimal decision? (b) If the architecture company was risk averse, could the optimal decision be different...

...6. Is it advisable to purchase any of the available 100,000 lbs of grade A tomatoes? (use the sensitivity report from question 2). If so, (a) how much should we buy? (b) How will the additional tomatoes be used? In order to figure out if we should buy and by how much we should purchase, we made some modifications associated with our model. First of all, we need to add one more decision variable, Additional A, which is the amount of extra grade A tomatoes we decide to purchase. Then we need to change the profit formula to subtract additional purchase cost, which is $0.15*Additional A, the deal Gordon had to purchase up to 100,000 lbs. grade A tomatoes. Also, we need to change the constraint for A grade tomatoes from 600,000 lbs. to (600,000+Additional A) lbs. The last step is to add another constraint to make the decision variable Additional A can be no more than 100,000 lbs. When we ran sensitivity analysis, the shadow price for grade A tomatoes is $0.27, which means when the company increases 1 lb. of grade A tomatoes available in production process, the total profit will increase by $0.27. So as long as the purchase price less than the shadow price, company should purchase extra grade A tomatoes. Moreover, the allowable increase for constraint of amount of grade A tomatoes available is 1,400,000. It means any amount of additional grade A tomatoes under 1,400,000 lbs. will be feasible to purchase to increase profit. Thus it is a good idea to purchase whole 100,000 lbs...

...Lab 2 Analysis Sheila Mejia BIAM 500 Prof. Bruning Keller March 13, 2016 Explain the Solver results you obtained for both the initial problem and your sensitivity analysis. The solver results in the initial analysis in my workbook showed that 333 units of the cc7 and 200 units of the cc8 should be produced in order to obtain the maximum of a little over $5 million in profit while still remaining within the given constraints. The constraints included that that MBI Corporation cannot produce more than 200,000 units in its plant and must remain under an $8million dollar budget. MBI Corp. must also meet marketing constraints of at least producing 100 units of cc7 and 200 units of cc8. In the sensitivity analysis we increases the constraints by ten percent and Solver determined that the optimal units MBI should produce is 110 of cc7 and 46 of cc8. Increasing the constraints decreased the number of units produced and decreased the profit by 31%. Thus, the sensitivity analysis helped determine that the current constraints made for a bigger profit while making staying within budget and satisfying other needs within the corporation. Based on the solver results MDI should not increase the parameters of their constraints, at least not by ten percent. What did you learn from the exercise and how is it important to businesses? The lab showed me how analyze a word problem and interpret the numbers using a spreadsheet. It also taught me...
