The final portfolio project requires a 6-8 page research paper addressing three prompts on the topics of blockchain, big data, and government policies in a global economy. Each prompt must be 1-3 pages and include at least one additional source beyond the textbook. The paper needs an introductory paragraph, conclusion, and follow APA formatting/citations. It will evaluate blockchain technology, examples of big data usage, and the role of government policies.

1. The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will
respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one
research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source
per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you'll
have at least 4 sources cited).
Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.
Prompt 1 "Blockchain" (2-3 pages): Explain the major
components of blockchain. Be sure to include how blockchain is
affecting a global economy and how you see it growing in the
future.
Prompt 2 "Big Data" (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding
of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data
used either personally or professionally. In your view, what
demands is big data placing on organizations and data
management technology? How does big data affect a global
economy.
Prompt 3 “Government and Policies” (1-2 pages): Discuss the
role government plays in a global economy. Also, look at what
policies are currently in place and then discussion what policies
should be put in place..
Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section.
The paper needs to be approximately six to eight pages long,
including both a title page and a references page (for a total of
eight to ten pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and
citations to avoid plagiarism.

2. Your paper should meet these requirements:
Be approximately six to eight 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. The UC
Library is a great place to find resources.
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.
