M6 Assignment

The M6 Assignment will have two parts.

Part One requires you to create guidelines for communicating effectively using social media. You will research what different organizations have created and also review what your own organization has created to ensure that employees follow the professional guidelines for communicating through social media on behalf of the organization. Your guidelines will be written in a report-style to your company’s CEO. If you are not currently employed, you can create a mock company in which to use for this assignment. Your report will be a minimum of two pages. Please include a cover page and a reference page with your report submission. You should use a minimum of four sources with APA formatting.

Part Two requires you to consider your own digital footprint and how your actions online will impact your professional career. You will create a PowerPoint presentation that includes the following elements:

1. Discussion of which social media platforms you use and for what purposes.
2. Discussion of how social media impacts one’s ability to be hired by a company.
3. Discussion of what type of digital footprint you will create for yourself.

The PPT presentation should be a minimum of 10 content slides (not including the cover slide or the reference slide). Include either speaker notes in the “”notes”” section in the slides or record audio on each slide. A minimum of two sources are required. Use APA formatting for all sources.

When you are ready to submit your slides and script, you must save your slides in a format with the slides on the top of a page, with the accompanying notes (your script) beneath each slide, as seen below.

 using Loops and Subcharts
 

Create a RAPTOR program that will find multiples of either one of two integers, but not both, between 350 and 450.
The two integers are to be entered by the user at runtime. At least one of the integers must be an odd number. If not
the program should end quickly. Your program must use a loop and at least one subchart. Refer to the graphic that
demonstrates three sample runs with suggested ouput. 

YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Part 1
Work through an algorithm for the above program and submit pseudocode for this algorithm. Please enter the pseudocode in the dropbox message area.
 

Part 2
 use your pseudocode to create the RAPTOR flowchart program. Zip it up and submit the zip to this  

Journal Article: Decentralization

Your submission must include the following information in the following format: 

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement. 

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term. 

DISCUSSION: Using 300-words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment. 

REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format. Be sure to use the headers in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment.

Research 5 obscure IoT devices.

Explain what the purpose of this device is.

Describe the advantages of these devices being connected to the network.

Describe the possible security risks of having these devices on your network.

 The goal of the projects throughout this semester is to implement a “prototype” database system application for a eCommerce social-network system called UCOnline where users can explore information about books/music/software, rate your purchase, identify purchase price and see ratings of their friends.The project will require your teams (same group as residency weekend) to complete the assignment. Below you will find the ERD deliverable requirements. Each assignment has a specific grading rubric (scheme) associated with the assignment. BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS ACROSS ALL ASSIGNMENTS. You will work with book/music/media information, user information, ratings of books, and users’ social network

• Each book has an id, title, publication date, publisher, ISBN, functional category, page count, price (publisher), and product description
• There are 3 categories of book: fiction, non-fiction, and specialty
• There are 2 categories of music: digital and media-based
• An author can write one or more books.
• A musician can be a solo artist, part of a group, or both
• An author can also be associated with one or more publishers.
• A musician/group/act can be associated with one or more music houses
• An author’s book can have one or more editions.
• A song and or album can have more than one version/edition (i.e. EP, LP, CD, DVD etc)
• A publisher can have many authors and many books.
• A record company can have many artists associated and many albums associated with it. 
• A record company can also be the publishing company (i.e. self-publishing)
• Many ISBNs can also be associated with a given publisher but only one ISBN per form of medium (ie the ISBN is the PK no matter what).
• An author can write many books.
• An artist can write many songs, albums etc.
• UCOnline needs to keep track of user ratings for each item sold in the online store (e.g., 1-5 and 1 for ‘Dislike’, to 5, for ‘Awesome!’).
• A particular user rates a particular item at a given time.
• A user CANNOT rate the same multiple times unless there are multiple editions of the item. Each edition can be rated separately.
• Each user who submits a rating will be identified by a unique id and has a name, gender, age, and location. Nothing is anonymous.
• There is also a social network between users. Users can send communication requests (i.e. instant messages/emails) to other users. Such requests can be accepted or ignored. Once accepted, the two users are considered ‘book buddies.’ If ignored, the user can send the request again. We want to add a store when the requests were sent (timestamp), the result of the requests and when the request was answered (timestamp).

 There is much discussion regarding Data Analytics and Data Mining.  Sometimes these terms are used synonymously but there is a difference.  What is the difference between Data Analytics vs Data Mining? Please provide an example of how each is used. Also explain how you may use data analytics and data mining in a future career. 

This assignment allows students to look at a problem from a managerial perspective, and see how a technical solution supports the business needs of the organization.

You are the IT manager at XYZ Company, and you notice that the business is lacking efficiency. Reports are being completed manually, information is not well transferred throughout the departments, the business is having trouble keeping up with its order volume, and customer satisfaction is faltering as a result.

Outline how your solution would address the common issues of identity management associated with ERP implementation, specifically single authentication, automatic trust, and managing full access rights. Then, using Figure 8.4 from the textbook, construct a formal business case for an ERP system. Analyze the effectiveness and efficiency gained with departmental cooperation. Then, present an effective case to efficiently input, transfer, communicate, and display company data.

This assignment requires the use of at least two additional scholarly research sources published within the last 5 years. Include at least one in-text citation from each cited source.

SEE ATTACH Figure 8.4

Assignment Overview
