1 Understand the Business The first step in performing an IT audit that is tied to business strategy is understanding the short-term and long-term goals and objectives of the business. While we expect IT strategies to be aligned to an organization's business strategies, in practice, this is not easy to achieve. The organization typically has made large investments in legacy systems that have been supporting the current business. The organization must balance the maintenance of current business requirements with the need to support longer term strategies, using emerging technologies to improve the competitiveness of the organization. Completing this business audit will ensure that you learn a lot about the business of the organization. To prepare for the audit, read Audits, Internal and Core Competencies. The templates provided for Step 1 will give you a framework for collecting this information. Be sure to ask the following questions: What are the strategic goals of the organization? What are the business operational goals? How do you see your organization in one year, in five years, and beyond? Download and open the Templates_for_Project2_with_Instructions.xlsx file. You will be using this file throughout this project. For optional feedback in Steps 1 and 3, use the following naming protocols The templates for business objectives in Appendices A1 and A2 will guide your discovery. You should list a minimum of three business objectives that exist for your organization, which will likely vary from these templates. Existing entries in templates A1 and A2 are for illustration purposes only. You should fill in and submit to the assignment folder two tables: Appendix A1 is for short-term goals (one year) and Appendix A2 is for longer term goals (five or more years). See Goal Setting for more information. After you understand your organization's business objectives, you will need to evaluate how well your organization is meeting those objectives. The template in Appendix B will guide you through a quick analysis of overall organizational effectiveness. You may want to ask those in leadership positions how well the organization is performing, but you can also get this information by examining how well the organization is performing according to current operational objectives. Choose a minimum of three organizational effectiveness criteria. Provide a one-sentence description of each measure, along with an overall score on a five-point scale and an explanation of the score you provided. See Effectiveness and Efficiency . Now that you've looked at how well the overall organization is performing, you should evaluate the organization at a lower level. Using the Appendix C template to guide you, assess the general well-being of any two departments in your organization (for example, finance and marketing). Again, provide explanation for any key issues for areas where there are less effective or very effective departments. This information ...

Assignment 1: The CEO’s Challenge You’ve just left an all - hands meeting at your company * The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects – a major indicator that the company’s internal information system has failed to meet its needs. Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea . This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C - suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive: 1. Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business. 2. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured. 3. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better. 4. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost. The executives are busy, so keep your memo to 1-4 pages and avoid any extraneous content. *You may use a current or former employer, but do not disclose anything confidential. Or, you can pick another organization if you are familiar with their internal (not customer - facing) information systems. You can disguise the organization and populate it with famous names. Made - up companies are problematic because of the amount of detail and realism they require. ...

The economy has begun to show signs of recovery. Companies are reporting stronger earnings. Except for what might have been a technical or systemic anomaly, stock indices are on the rise. Unemployment claims are dropping and jobs are slowly being created. Companies that have been hanging on to cash are in a good position to spend it on deals or to hire back workers. In other words, the economy is positioned for growth.

Death and grief on-line: Virtual memorialization and changing concepts of childhood death and parental bereavement on the Internet LISA M MITCHELL, PETER H STEPHENSON*, SUSAN CADELL"^ AND MARY ELLEN MACDONALD' Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada; *School of Environmental Studies and Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada; ^School of Social Work, Renison University College, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada; 'Faculty of Dentistry, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada A B S T R A C T : 'Virtual memorials' intended to memorialize the lives of children imply significant shifts in the conceptualiza- tion of death, particularly for grieving parents. Created by parents in memory of their deceased children, on-line memorials constructed using templates reflect strong cultural beließ about the nature of childhood deaths, grief and the development of a kind of distal afterlife. Yirtual memorials create a new social value for the deceased and shift death and bereavement from private into more public experiences. Building upon this work, we describe a kind of 'on-line immortality' created through virtual memorials where the virtiud presence of the deceased in text and images, and practices intended to sustain a relationship with the deceased can extend bereavement and the social lives of the dead indefinitely. While such memorials can offer solace, they also potentiate business opportunities for those hoping to create lasting customers. As such, they may also extend mourning indefinitely. This may be especiaUy true for certain kinds of deeply problematic deaths, such as those of children. KEYWORDS: virtual, online, memorials, grief, children, parents Though many people sit night after night intheir living rooms watching various kinds of 'death' and irmumerable dead bodies as a form of entertainment (e.g., CSI, Bones), the death of loved ones and the grief which follows are still mosdy sequestered from everyday life in eco- nomically and technologically advantaged countries, including Canada. Grief and bereavement are confmed to specific times and places, and are mainly private, or secluded experiences. Most deaths take place in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices, and are managed by health care professionals who also inform the bereaved of what is 'normal' and what is 'pathological' in the grief process, and offer ways to 'resolve' grief and to grieve properly. Anthropological research has long established that the dead in many cultural contexts have social lives (Baydala, Hampton, Rinunwa, Kinunwa, & Kinunwa, 2006; Counts & Counts, 2004; Hattori, McCubbin, & Ishida, 2006; Keesing, 1982; Rodman & Rodman, 1983). But, until recendy the dominant approach in Canadian bereavement care has been that survivors should view death as fmal and they should 'wor.

Copyright © Jen-Wen Lin 2018 1 STA457 Time series analysis assignment (Fall 2018) Statistical properties of (moving-average) rule returns Date: 23 October 2018 Jen-Wen Lin, PhD, CFA 1. Introduction Technical indicator is widely used to generate trading signals by practitioners to make trading decisions. The usual rule is to trade with the trend. In this case, the trader initiates a position early in the trend and maintains that position as long as the trend continues. In this assignment, you are asked to study the statistical properties of returns for applying the oldest and most widely used method in technical indicators—moving averages.1 The structure of this paper is given as follows. Section 2 defines the trading rule (or strategy). In Section 3 and 4, we formulate the trading return based on a given trading rule and state the corresponding statistical properties, respectively. The questions for you to answer are listed in Section 5. Finally, references and appendix are given in Section 6 and 7, respectively. 2. Trading rule Suppose that at each time 𝑡, market participants predict the direction of the trend of asset prices using a price-based forecast 𝐹#, where 𝐹# is a function of past asset prices 𝐹# = 𝑓(𝑃#,…,𝑃#*+,-,…). 1 The simplest rule of this family is the single moving average which says when the rate penetrates from below (above) a moving average of a given length, a buy (sell) signal is generated. Copyright © Jen-Wen Lin 2018 2 The above predictor is then converted to buy and sell trading signals 𝐵#: buy (+1) and sell (-1) using, i.e. { "𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙" ⇔ 𝐵# = −1 ⇔ 𝐹# < 0 "𝐵𝑢𝑦" ⇔ 𝐵# = +1 ⇔ 𝐹# > 0 Note that the signal of a trading rule is completely defined by one of the inequalities giving a sell or buy order (if the position is not short, it is long). For example, consider a trading rule based on the moving average of order five rule (𝑚 = 5). In this case, 𝑓 is given by 𝑓(𝑃#,…,𝑃#*+,-) = 𝑃# − ∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE 5 . In this case, we buy the asset (𝐵# = +1) at time 𝑡 + 1when 𝐹# > 0 ⟺ 𝑃# > ∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE 5 ; and sell the asset (𝐵# = −1) when 𝐹# < 0 ⟺ 𝑃# < ∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE 5 . The Figure below illustrates the dynamics of the above 5-periods moving average method— when the rate penetrates from below (above) the moving average of order five, a buy (sell) signal is generated. Copyright © Jen-Wen Lin 2018 3 For your assignment, we consider 𝐹# based on a moving-average technical indicator. In general, for a given moving-average indicator, 𝐹# may be expressed as (a function of log returns): 𝐹# = 𝛿 + I 𝑑K𝑋#*K +*M KDE , (1) where 𝑋# = 𝑙𝑛(𝑃# 𝑃#*-⁄ ), 𝛿 and 𝑑K are defined by a given trading rule (See Appendix for more details). For this assignment, we assume 𝛿 = 0. 2.45 2 4 2.35 Price 2.25 2.2 Signal 13 17 21 25 33 37 41 45 Day Return oscillator • Sett', ‘,s1 A \ \ 006 006 _ i 0

Special SensesRecall that a sensation is the conscious or subconscious awareness of an internal or external stimulus For this chapter, “external stimulus” means light rays striking the retina of the eye, sound waves impinging on the tympanic membrane of the ear, molecules in the air and food transmitting smells and tastes to the chemical sensors in the nose an on the tongue, and the force of gravity acting on equilibrium receptors in the inner ear which sense changes in inertia Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Special SensesReceptors for the special senses of smell, taste, vision, hearing, and equilibrium are anatomically distinct from one another and are concentrated in specific locations in the head In addition to the stimuli and the receptors, there are specific afferent pathways and translation sites in the brain for information assembled from these special senses Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Smell and taste are brought about through the interpretation of chemicals present in the environment Olfactory and gustatory (taste) impulses travel not only to the cerebral cortex, but also to the limbic systemthis is why we can have emotional responses and trigger strong memories to certain smells and tastesgustation and olfaction work together but olfaction is much stronger/more sensitive (when someone has a cold it is difficult to taste food) Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Copyright © by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico 1 The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico edited by Miguel León Portillo 1 OVERVIEW The Native Americans left few written records of the arrival of the Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés in Tenochtitlán (today's Mexico City) in 1519. From them, however, Miguel León Portillo, a Mexican anthropologist, constructed an eyewitness account of how Cortés treated the Native Americans and seized Montezuma (also known as Moctezuma) before going on to destroy the city and to take over much of what is present-day Mexico. GUIDED READING As you read, consider the following questions: • How did Montezuma’s messengers describe Cortés and his troops? • How did Cortés and his troops treat the Native Americans? he Spaniards arrived in Xoloco, near the entrance to Tenochtitlan. That was the end of the march, for they had reached their goal. Motecuhzoma now arrayed himself in his finery, preparing to go out to meet them. The other great princes also adorned their persons, as did the nobles and their chieftains and knights. They all went out together to meet the strangers. They brought trays heaped with the finest flowers—the flower that resembles a shield; the flower shaped like a heart; in the center, the flower with the sweetest aroma; and the fragrant yellow flower, the most precious of all. They also brought garlands of flowers, and ornaments for the breast, and necklaces of gold, necklaces hung with rich stones, necklaces fashioned in the petatillo style. Thus Motecuhzoma went out to meet them, there in Huitzillan. He presented many gifts to the Captain and his commanders, those who had come to make war. He showered gifts upon them and hung flowers around their necks; he gave them necklaces of flowers and bands of flowers to adorn their breasts; he set garlands of flowers upon their heads. Then he hung the gold necklaces around their necks and gave them presents of every sort as gifts of welcome. . . . Report on the Spaniards The messengers reported to the king. They told him how they had made the journey, and what they had seen, and what food the strangers ate. Motecuhzoma was astonished and terrified by their report, and the description of the strangers' food astonished him above all else. T Copyright © by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico 2 He was also terrified to learn how the cannon roared, how its noise resounded, how it caused one to faint and grow deaf. The messengers told him: "A thing like a ball of fire comes out of its entrails: it comes out shooting sparks and raining fire. The smoke that comes out with it has a pestilent odor, like that of rotten mud. This odor penetrates even to the brain and causes the greatest discomfort. If the cannon is aimed against a mountain, the mountain splits and cracks open. If it is aimed against a tree, it shatters the tree into splinters. This is a mo.

Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. CHAPTER 3 The Interorganizational Context of Public Administration  LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Understanding the relationships among the many groups—public, private, and nonprofit—that drive the effectiveness of public programs and affect the work of the public manager 2. Learning about the federal system of government and the complexities of intergovernmental relations that result from federalism 3. Understanding how the relationship and power division between federal and state governments has evolved 4. Exploring the issues associated with privatization and contracting and public-private partnerships 5. Understanding the unique challenges of nonprofit organizations  SUMMARY OVERVIEW This chapter is concerned with relationships among public-sector organizations, an issue that has become an increasingly important focus for public administrators at all levels. Given the complexity of modern society, the work of a public administrator likely will involve an intricate set of relationships with a variety of groups external to the administrator’s own agency, including public, nonprofit, and private organizations. The chapter includes a comprehensive discussion about the concept of intergovernmental relations (IGR), which the authors define as “the complex and interdependent relationships among those at various levels of government as they seek to develop and implement public programs,” and federalism, which is the relationship and division of power between the federal government and state governments. This discussion addresses the changing patterns of funding for public programs, which is instrumental to an understanding of intergovernmental relations, and touches on the various approaches to federalism that have been employed in the United States. This includes a description of how recent presidential administrations, from Reagan to Obama, have approached the relationship between the federal government and the states, and offers insights into the courts’ influence in this area as well. This chapter also addresses IGR from the perspective of states and localities, including funding and the use of preemptions and mandates, and includes a discussion of subnational relationships, including state-to-state, state-to-local, and local-to-local. This is followed by an examination of the relationships between governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the public sector, highlighting the role of the latter in the policy process. As the authors note, not only have nonprofit, for-profit, and faith-based organizations taken a leading role in delivering public services, they also play an important part in bringing issues to the public agenda and influencing decisions about public problems. An important theme running throughout this discussion concerns a description and an evaluation of 30 Chapter 3: The Interorganizational Context o.

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” originally published 1894. The Story of an Hour Kate Chopin Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death. It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message. She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her. There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul. She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves. There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window. She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams. She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought. Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” originally published 1894. There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air. Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will—as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been. When she abandone.

Copyright © 2020 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company Case 1: Arnold, a 62-year-old plumber, had been experiencing a series of symptoms, including increased thirst, frequent urination, and unusual weight loss. After some prodding from his wife, he went to see his family physician, Dr. Lopez. The doctor gave him a physical exam, ordered some blood work, and scheduled a follow-up appointment. On the return visit, Arnold sat down with the doctor to discuss his diagnosis. Dr. Lopez explained, “You have noninsulin-dependent diabetes or type 2 diabetes, which is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes glucose. Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that transforms dietary glucose into energy for your cells. If you had type 1 diabetes, it would mean that your pancreas produces little or no insulin. However, with type 2 diabetes, your pancreas produces sufficient amounts of insulin, but your cells are no longer utilizing it efficiently, which causes fluctuation in your blood glucose levels. To treat your condition, you’ll need to start eating a healthy diet, start exercising regularly, and monitor your blood sugar. I’m writing you a prescription for Metformin and a glucose monitor.” After finishing his explanation, Dr. Lopez asked Arnold if he had any questions. Slightly stunned, Arnold just shook his head and replied, “No.” Dr. Lopez also told him that his practice has a diabetes fact sheet posted on their website and suggested that he look it up and read it. Arnold thanked him and left. He went to the pharmacy to have his prescription filled and also bought a bottle of glucosamine, a dietary supplement used by some people to treat joint pain. When his wife asked what the glucosamine was for, Arnold said, “I think I’m supposed to be taking it. The doctor mentioned it a few times.” 1. What are some reasons why Arnold likely did not understand what Dr. Lopez told him? 2. What could Dr. Lopez have done to better present the information in a way that Arnold would understand? 3. Was it a good idea for Dr. Lopez to refer Arnold to his practice’s website for more information? Why or why not? Case 2: Dr. Falk and Dr. Keller operate a family medical practice. One afternoon, as they ate lunch in the break room, they discussed an article about health literacy that Dr. Falk was reading in a national news magazine. “There’s been a growing trend toward healthcare organizations becoming health literate,” Dr. Keller said. “The statistics are pretty surprising,” Dr. Falk replied. “More than half of the people surveyed had only basic or below basic health literacy skills.” “Do you think it’s something we should look into at our practice?” Dr. Keller asked. “I think we should,” Dr. Falk replied. While they were talking, Amanda, the office manager, and Jean, one of the nurses, came into the break room to get some coffee. They overheard what the doctors were discussing, and Amanda asked Jean, “What.

How do addictions of a family member affect nonaddicted family members? Preliminary Thesis Statement: In the box below, state your preliminary thesis statement as a full sentence or two. (Note: Your thesis statement may change as you discover new information about your topic.) Addiction has a devastating effect on families. When a family member is addicted to drugs or alcohol, tension, miscommunication, and frequent arguments are likely to become a part of the addict’s household. (DrugRehab.org, 2016). List the curiosity questions you asked about the topic before researching it. What is addiction, and what are the different types of addiction? How does addiction affect family life? How does addiction of a parent or parents affect a child? How does addiction of a spouse affect a person? What are the consequences of addiction? How does addiction of a child affect the parents? How does addiction affect the social life of a family that has an addicted member? What kinds of people are prone to addiction? What causes addiction? How should the problem of addiction be dealt with? What other points of view, in addition to your own, did you consider before deciding your position on this specific topic? Comment [A1]: Hi! Wonderful thesis statement—it clearly establishes the point of view and position for you paper. Comment [A2]: Hi! The citation should come before the final period in the sentence. Comment [A3]: Hi! Great curiosity question that reflect an open-minded approach to the topic and a willingness to see where the information will take you! Copyright © 2018 Capella University. Copy and distribution of this document are prohibited. PSYC1003 Before deciding my position on addiction, I considered the following points of view, in addition to my own: • Addiction of a family member is beneficial to nonaddict family members. • Addiction of a family member does not affect nonaddict family members. • Addiction of a family member may affect nonaddict children and adolescents in the family as they tend to have impressionable minds. • Addiction of a family member may affect nonaddict family members who have poor mental health. • Addiction of a family member may affect nonaddict family members who can be easily influenced. Comment [A4]: Hi! Wonderful job looking at point of view! With points of view, we’re looking at different ways the topic could be viewed from a top-view level. The thesis is that addiction is harmful for the non-addicted family member. A starting point for looking at different points of view is start with the opposite: addiction is beneficial for the non-addict family member. That may seem to viola.

It is a question we never thought we’d be asking. We have been colleagues for fifteen years, thinking, writing, and teaching students about failures of democracy in other places and times— Europe’s dark 1930s, Latin America’s repressive 1970s. We have spent years researching new forms of authoritarianism emerging around the globe. For us, how and why democracies die has been an occupational obsession. But now we find ourselves turning to our own country. Over the past two years, we have watched politicians say and do things that are unprecedented in the United States—but that we recognize as having been the precursors of democratic crisis in other places. We feel dread, as do so many other Americans, even as we try to reassure ourselves that things can’t really be that bad here. After all, even though we know democracies are always fragile, the one in which we live has somehow managed to defy gravity. Our Constitution, our national creed of freedom and equality, our historically robust middle class, our high levels of wealth and education, and our large, diversified private sector—all these should inoculate us from the kind of democrat.

No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education. Berkshire Instruments Al Hansen, the newly appointed vice president of finance of Berkshire Instruments, was eager to talk to his investment banker about future financing for the firm. One of Al’s first assignments was to determine the firm’s cost of capital. In assessing the weights to use in computing the cost of capital, he examined the current balance sheet, presented in Figure 1 below. In their discussion, Al and his investment banker determined that the current mix in the capital structure was very close to optimal and that Berkshire Instruments should continue with it in the future. Of some concern was the appropriate cost to assign to each of the elements in the capital structure. Al Hansen requested that his administrative assistant provide data on what the cost to issue debt and preferred stock had been in the past. The information is provided in Figure 2 below. When Al got the data, he felt he was making real progress toward determining the cost of capital for the firm. However, his investment banker indicated that he was going about the process in an incorrect manner. The important issue is the current cost of funds, not the historical cost. The banker suggested that a comparable firm in the industry, in terms of size and bond rating (Baa), Rollins Instruments, had issued bonds a year and a half ago for 9.3 percent interest at a $1,000 par value, and the bonds were currently selling for $890. The bonds had 20 years remaining to maturity. The banker also observed that Rollings Instruments had just issued preferred stock at $60 per share, and the preferred stock paid an annual dividend of $4.80. In terms of cost of common equity, the banker suggested that Al Hansen use the dividend valuation model as a first approach to determining cost of equity. Based on that approach, Al observed that earnings were $3 a share and that 40 percent would be paid out in dividends (D1). The current stock price was $25. Dividends in the last four years had grown from 82 cents to the current value. The banker indicated that the under-writing cost (flotation cost) on a preferred stock issue would be $2.60 per share and $2.00 per share on common stock. Al Hansen further observed that his firm was in a 35 percent marginal tax bracket. With all this information in hand, Al Hansen sat down to determine his firm’s cost of capital. He was a little confused about computing the firm’s cost of common equity. He knew there were two different formulas: One: One for the cost of retained earnings and one for the cost of new common stock. His investment banker suggested that he follow the normally accepted approach used in determining the marginal c.

Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 7-* Chapter 7 Analyzing Business Markets Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 7-* Learning Objectives What is organizational buying? What buying situations do business buyers face? Who participates in the business-to-business buying process? How do business buyers make their decisions? In what ways can business-to-business companies develop effective marketing programs? How can companies build strong loyalty relationships with business customers? How do institutional buyers and government agencies do their buying? Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 7-* What is Organizational Buying?Business market Consists of all the organizations that acquire goods and services used in the production of other products or services that are sold, rented, or supplied to others Frederick E. Webster Jr. and Yoram Wind define organizational buying as the decision-making process by which formal organizations establish the need for purchased products and services and identify, evaluate, and choose among alternative brands and suppliers. Any firm that supplies components for products is in the business-to-business marketplace. More dollars and items change hands in sales to business buyers than to consumers. * Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 7-* Business marketsFewer, larger buyersClose supplier–customer relationshipsProfessional purchasingMultiple buying influencesMultiple sales callsDerived demandInelastic demandFluctuating demandGeographically concentrated buyersDirect purchasing Business marketers contrast sharply with consumer markets in some ways. The business marketer normally deals with far fewer, much larger buyers than the consumer marketer does, particularly in such industries as aircraft engines and defense weapons. Because of the smaller customer base and the importance and power of the larger customers, suppliers are frequently expected to customize their offerings to individual business customer needs. Business goods are often purchased by trained purchasing agents, who must follow their organizations’ purchasing policies, constraints, and requirements. More people typically influence business buying decisions. Buying committees consisting of technical experts and even senior management are common in the purchase of major goods. A study by McGraw-Hill found that it took four to four-and-a-half calls to close an average industrial sale. The demand for business goods is ultimately derived from the demand for consumer goods. The total demand for many business goods and services is inelastic—that is, not much affected by price changes. The demand for business goods and services tends to be more volatile than the demand for consumer goods and services. The geographical concentration of producers helps to reduce selling costs. Business buyers often buy directly from manufacturers .

Unit 3 [IT504 Critical Concepts and Competencies for the IT P.docx

1. Unit 3 [IT504: Critical Concepts and Competencies for the IT Professional] 1 Assignment Instructions Internal Memo To: IT Department From: CEO Re: Corporate Merger Good morning team! I can’t tell you how excited I am to share some of the information I learned at the technology conference these past few days. One of the things we discussed during the conference was Enterprise Systems. I really feel that this is something that would be an asset to our company and help fuel our future growth. To that end, I would like you to write up an internal memo that addresses some of the concerns I have regarding implementation. 1. What is an enterprise system and what does it do?

2. 2. What are transaction processing systems and how do they relate to the order processing, purchasing, and accounting business functions? 3.
