To avoid damaging its market value, each company must use the correct discount rate to evaluate its projects. Review and discuss the following:

• Compare and contrast the internal rate of return approach to the net present value approach. Which is better? Support your answer with well-reasoned arguments and examples.

• Is the ultimate goal of most companies–maximizing the wealth of the owners for whom the firm is being operated–ethical? Why or why not?

• Why might ethical companies benefit from a lower cost of capital than less ethical companies?

 Before an organization decides to purchase a SaaS application, they need to review the legal and regulatory concerns before entering into any agreement with a service provider. Addressing and understanding issues around data privacy, security, ownership, and business continuity can help to avoid unexpected problems in the future. For this week’s assignment, research and include four (4) issues or considerations that organizations need to evaluate before entering into any agreement. Discuss why the issue is important and include examples of what could happen if the issue was not properly addressed by the vendor. Your assignment should be 3 pages in length, with two or more references in APA Format cited in your response.

While this weeks topic highlighted the uncertainty of Big Data, the author identified the following as areas for future research.  Pick one of the following for your Research paper:

Additional study must be performed on the interactions between each big data characteristic, as they do not exist separately but naturally interact in the real world.

The scalability and efficacy of existing analytics techniques being applied to big data must be empirically examined.

New techniques and algorithms must be developed in ML and NLP to handle the real-time needs for decisions made based on enormous amounts of data.

More work is necessary on how to efficiently model uncertainty in ML and NLP, as well as how to represent uncertainty resulting from big data analytics.

Since the CI algorithms are able to find an approximate solution within a reasonable time, they have been used to tackle ML problems and uncertainty challenges in data analytics and process in recent years.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 

Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

1. One  of the advance features I have learned using Microsoft word is the  insert feature. Being able to place all sorts of symbols, pictures,  graphs to a word document helps make it stand out more. For example, if I  were to write a document that talks about graphs and data, I can insert  a chart to properly displays the numbers I want to present over just  regular text. To do so, you must click on the Insert ribbon right next  to Home, under the Illustrations tab, you will see the Chart option.  Another window will open showing you the many different types of charts  and graphs that you can use to present your data. After selecting the  chart you want to use, the image will be inserted into the document  along with another window that reads Chart in Microsoft Windows. It is a  spreadsheet that you can use to enter the data you would like your  chart to display.

2.  An advanced feature that I learned in Microsoft Word was to insert a  picture. This may not be advanced to others but was a feature I had to  play with to insert correctly. To perform this task you would open  Microsoft word and open a blank document. Once the document is opened  use the tab on top that states insert, once you tap insert you have  options to use picture on device or online pictures. I chose online  pictures which provides more options. To use the online search you can  type whatever your looking for in search engine. Once you select the  picture you want to use on your document click picture and below will  provide option to insert. After tapping insert picture will drop onto  document. The picture on document will then need to be positioned by  clicking on picture and dropping on document where desired. Once picture  is positioned use arrow keys to adjust size of picture as desired. I  find this a great feature and think an added illustration always  enhances a document of any kind.
