Global organizations use virtual teams to provide worldwide support, lower travel costs, reduce training expenses, and take advantage of local knowledge in different areas. An IT department would face issues supporting virtual teams across multiple countries and time zones. While virtual teams offer cost savings and access to diverse talent, they present challenges like varying national IT standards, protocols, and procedures that need to be addressed. Communications, technology use, and managing diversity differ between virtual and traditional colocated teams.

Overview
Global organizations have branches that are located in multiple
countries. Some of these organizations develop software and
take advantage of the global talent pool of software developers
while others have global technical support teams, customer
service, and so on. Virtual teams are created when two or more
people work together from different locations, organizations,
times zone, or time shifts. Global organizations use virtual
teams to provide global support, reduce travel costs, reduce
training costs, and take advantage of local cultural knowledge
that may impact the organization’s operations.
Instructions
Write a 2–3 page paper in which you:
Examine five issues that the IT department is likely to face
when it comes to supporting virtual teams.
Describe five advantages and five disadvantages of using virtual
teams for the organizations described in the scenario.
Describe the challenges imposed by:
IT/IS national standards and propose how they could be handled
or resolved.
Protocols and propose how they could be handled or resolved.
Procedures on virtual teams and propose how they could be

handled or resolved.
Compare and contrast virtual teams and traditional teams with
respect to communications, technology use, and team diversity.

Case Analysis/Scenario The Senior Vice President of Human Resources has just informed you that she would like for you to research various HRM practices of Fortune 500 companies. This research will be presented to the board of trustees next month. They want to review other company’s best practices to help them realign their strategic initiatives. In organizational studies, the process of reviewing other organizations’ best practices and adapting them to one’s own organization is called “benchmarking.” Begin by identifying 2 -3 organizations listed in the Fortune 500. Once you have identified those companies, research best practices used by those organizations, paying particular attention to these HRM functional areas: · Recruitment/On boarding · Training & Development · Employee/Labor Relations · Performance Management · Compensation & Benefits Incentives/Practices To begin your paper, provide a summary of key details about the organizations you are using to benchmark HRM best practices. Who are the organizations? What do they do? Why are they a good candidate for benchmarking? This section of you paper only needs to be a paragraph or two. For the next section of your paper, evaluate the pros and cons of the best practices you have benchmarked in each functional area. For example, if external recruitment is a “best practice,” what are some pros and cons of external recruitment? As a guide, your evaluation of best practices in each functional area should be 1 to 2 pages. For the final section of your paper, justify the top best practices recommendation in each HRM functional area that you will make to the board of trustees. Imagine that you are actually going to present the recommendations to the board. What will you recommend? Why? How will you link them altogether to form a cohesive and persuasive presentation? Hint: Based upon your evaluation of those best practices in the earlier sections of the paper, summarize the key arguments and research support for your recommended practices to justify them to the board. This section of your paper should be 2 to 3 pages in length. Submit your report as an eight to ten page paper written in APA format to the Drop Box. Paper should include at least 5 references in APA format. Research hints… In addition to searching for the specific organization name “and best practices” or “best HRM practices,” you might find it helpful to search for the specific organization name “and recruitment.” “Specific organization name and training & development,” and so forth. For example, if Walmart is one of your organizations, search terms could include: · Walmart and best practices · Walmart and best HRM practices · Walmart and Recruitment · Walmart and Onboarding · Walmart and Training & Development · Walmart and Employee Labor Relations · Walmart and Performance Management · Walmart and Compensation · Walmart and Employee Benefits · Walmart and Employee Incentives · Etc. You can follow the above search ...

Paper B: a matrix mapping of a key IT-related organizational (or personal) ethical issue concerning privacy and organizational policy designed to correct the ethical issue. The first step of this assignment is an opportunity to analyze a key IT-related organizational (or personal, if you are not in the job force) ethical issue, related to privacy, subject to relevant laws, regulations, and policies . Both of the following sites provide sources, and an excellent backdrop for issues relating to privacy protection and the law. See EPIC Privacy Issues at: http://epic.org/privacy/ See List on left and/or: EFF Privacy at https://www.eff.org/issues/privacy [see list below in center on this page]. This includes sub-topics discussing information privacy, privacy laws, applications and court rulings (case law is usually an extension of the basic law based on the facts from specific cases and real-world court decisions), and key privacy and anonymity issues. While the sites provide many interesting topics, be sure to focus on our class IT topics. Use the template below and the list of suggested workforce privacy topics from one of the sites above to produce a matrix to map a key organizational ethical (or personal, if not in the job force) issue and how this issue is affected by laws, regulations, and policies. Use the list of normative ethics below to help you complete the matrix. Choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics described below. Prepare the Ethical Issue matrix (single-space in the cells) and include the following explanation (200 words) —double-space your narrative—below the matrix: Why I chose the dilemma; Why I chose the three principles; and An analysis of the research used to identify the actions in the matrix. The completed matrix allows you to weigh the different issues involved and assign a rank as to the importance of the actions based on the effect on the stakeholders. Indicate appropriate APA in-text and source citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your assignment should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style. Normative Ethics List Autonomy: is the duty to maximize the individual's right to make his or her own decisions. Beneficence: is the duty to do good both individually and for all. Confidentiality: is the duty to respect privacy of information and action. Equality: is the duty to view all people as moral equals. Finality: is the duty to take action that may override the demands of law, religion, and social customs. Justice: is the duty to treat all fairly, distributing the risks and benefits equally. Non-maleficence : is the duty to cause no harm, both individually and for all. Understanding/Tolerance: is the duty to understand and to accept another viewpoint if reason dictates doing so is warranted. Publicity: .

Paper Prompt: "Swing- From Verb to Noun" is the title Leroi Jones gives to his chapter on swing music in his 1963 book Blues People . In a 5-7 page paper, explore what Jones means by this formulation-- swing as a verb, as a noun, swing going from verb to noun-- and how he uses it to make arguments about music as an expression of race, capitalism, and power in the United States. Why is swing music such an apt style for this set of arguments? How does his formulation further the larger goals of his book? After your discussion of swing, discuss two other musical examples--styles, genres, specific artists/songs-- from Blues People or any of the other readings so far this semester, where we might apply Jones' formulation (bebop, rock, the career of Charles Mingus, etc). Lastly, do you think his formulation is still relevant to discussions of contemporary popular music? In writing your essay, be sure to clearly state your thesis and to develop your argument with evidence clearly cited from the texts at hand. Papers will be evaluated on the strength of their arguments and the extent to which those arguments are developed and supported with properly cited textual evidence. You may refer to ideas presented in lecture, but these ideas cannot stand in for or replace your engagement with the readings. All papers must be proofread, spell-checked, double-spaced, and printed in an appropriate font and font size. For in-text citations and works cited, please follow MLA guidelines. .

Page 1 Planning LTE Network Deployments Introduction LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the 4th Generation (4G) technology comprising of Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and Evolved Packet System (EPS) components. LTE brings speeds up to 300 Mbps for roaming users needing wireless access Internet. LTE is the next generation technology of the popular and widely deployed 3G technology UMTS, and is being developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a worldwide standards body comprising of service providers, equipment manufacturers, and R&D institutions. As the wireless access technology continues to evolve and become more flexible, planning and predicting performance of such networks becomes a challenging task. Often claims made in the popular media about the speed, scalability and reliability of the LTE networks are purely theoretical in nature, and the actual performance of these networks depends upon a myriad of factors. Understanding such factors and designing network deployments to achieve the maximal performance out of the given resources is indeed a critical task. In this lab exercise, we will study how OPNET Modeler/Guru can be used as a planning tool. We will use out-of-the-box reports, statistics, and other software tools to understand the network performance and how it relates to the LTE technology itself. Using planning workflows, we will optimize network parameters to achieve target objectives. The labs make use of OPNET Modeler/Guru, the Wireless module, and the specialized LTE model to perform this planning exercise. Lab 1: LTE Cell Planning Study Overview In this lab, we will deploy an LTE cell in OPNET Modeler/Guru and analyze how to determine and set the cell range. You will understand how interference can affect cell range. In the optional lab, we will study an “efficiency-based” workflow, in which setting certain attributes in the simulations and running them without the physical layer (efficiency mode) speeds up the simulation considerably. Methodology • Use the wireless network wizard to deploy an LTE network • Understand how to find and set up the range of the LTE cell • Understand how interference affects the cell range  Understand how to speed up the LTE simulations for planning studies intended for large networks (optional/take home lab) Part I 1. Start OPNET Modeler/Guru. a. Double-click on the OPNET Modeler/Guru icon on the desktop. 2. You will deploy a single cell LTE network with a single end user in this scenario using the Wireless Deployment Wizard. 3. Deploy a simple LTE network with a single cell and a single end user using the wizard. a. Choose the menu option Topology > Deploy Wireless Network. Click Continue in the dialog box. Page 2 b. The option “Use wizard to provide network specifications” should already be selected. Click Next. c. Click on “Create network in current subnet” and change the X coordinate to 0 as shown.

You will be graded on the following criteria (refer to grading rubrics for more detailed information): the degree to which you demonstrate your ability to conduct relevant external research the degree to which you demonstrate application of the marketing principles covered throughout the course the degree to which you exhibit critical-thinking skills the degree to which you present a professional final product Marketing Plan Term Project Requirements Step 1: Select a Product or Service. Due: End of week 2 (check course schedule for specific due date) You will select a company and one of its specific products or services, for which you will prepare a marketing plan. Submit your choice to your faculty member for approval no later than the end of week 1. Your choice of a product or service is important. Here are some tips to help you select an appropriate product or service: Select a consumer product or service that you or your family uses regularly. This will help give you insight into customer behaviors in the purchase decision and will also make it more interesting to work on because you like the product or service. Do not select an industrial or business-to-business good or service. Select a product or service that is large enough to have something written about it or its industry. This will help you find industry trends and competitive information via library research. Select a publicly held company’s product or service. Again, there is more information available that will bring depth to your analysis. You will need revenue data, market-share data, or other measures to compare against competitive offerings. Stay with nationally known brand names so that your faculty member has some knowledge of your choice and therefore can be more helpful to you. Select a product or service that has some competition. Do not select a new product or serv.

Overview In our study of poetry, we have discussed several key poetic elements such as rhythm, sounds and song. Formal Writing Assignment 3 is a critical thinking and information literacy project that will require you to make deeper connections between poetry and music. Requirements Access Online Sources : To begin, pick a song that you like. The song you pick should be chosen on the merits of its lyrics rather than its beat or musical accompaniment. The song, which must be in English , may contain a moderate amount of graphic language, and, if you choose, it may deal with controversial themes. Locate the reliable lyrics to your song from an online source. A copy of the song lyrics must be attached to your completed paper. If your song has been covered by many different artists, please identify which version you are discussing in your paper, and make sure that the lyrics you attach correspond accordingly. Analyze (at least 400 words): Once you have picked your song, you are to analyze it as a piece of poetry in a well-organized essay of at least four paragraphs. As the analysis depends on it, your paper should also include some quotations from the song. Because you will be quoting text from the chosen song, you will also need to include a Works Cited page. Examine the song through the scope of some of the following poetic elements: Persona Voice (Irony, Tone) Diction Allusion Imagery Rhythm Sound (Rime, Alliteration/Assonance, etc.) Symbols Figures of speech Denotation/connotation Type of poetry (i.e., lyric, narrative, etc.) Reflect (at least 150 words): Your analysis should have identified and explained what elements qualify your song to be appreciated as a poem. Here, however, I would like for you to reflect upon which parts of the song’s power come from the words and which come from the music and/or artist performance. Does an examination of the words alone fail to recreate the total power of the original song – why or why not? Things to Remember All papers for this class should adhere to MLA format. A Works Cited page is required. Do not forget to give your paper a title. Do not include a cover sheet. At the top of the first page simply write a header consisting of your name, the date and our course and section names. The song that I have chosen for this assignment is Rolling in the Deep by Adele. .

Overview In this project you will implement a server for the Purdue Safe Walk Program. The server you are going to write will handle requests and commands sent from the user. Safe Walk is a campus safety system (currently done manually) that allows people on campus to request that someone walk with them from one location to another on campus. For more details, refer to this document . Definitions Here are some definitions and terms that will be used throughout this project. Locations A location is a building in Purdue campus. A location is identified by a unique acronym. First, for simplicity, the following locations will be defined in the system: CL50 : Class of 1950 Lecture Hall EE : Electrical Engineering Building LWSN : Lawson Computer Science Building PMU : Purdue Memorial Union PUSH : Purdue University Student Health Center * : Any one of the location above You may think of * as a wildcard that matches with any of the first five locations. As you will see later, a user message will contain two locations, FROM and TO . Locations not on the list above will be considered invalid. User A user is anyone who sends content to the server. Requester A requester is a user who asks for help (instead of sending commands). Again, as you will find later, not all users are requesters. Prerequisites Knowledge of file I/O operations. Knowledge of Java List API . Objectives Understand and use the Java Socket API to implement an iterative server. More specifically, java.net.ServerSocket for a socket-based server program. Understand the similarities between files and sockets. Learn to implement a basic, text-based server-client protocol. Learn to write exhaustive JUnit tests. Learn to use simple network utilities telnet and netcat ( nc ). Specifications Now you are going to write your own server program. Command-Line Arguments Name your program SafeWalkServer . To run it, use the command java SafeWalkServer port where the port argument should be an integer between 1025 and 65535 inclusive. If the port argument is given but invalid, print an error message (any meaningful message) and exit gracefully. If the port argument is not provided, your program should use a port that is automatically allocated, in which case you must print this port number to stdout before the server starts accept ing requests. For example, Port not specified. Using free port 8888. where 8888 is the port allocated automatically. Note that 8888 is just an example. If the port is already used (the constructor of ServerSocket will throw an exception). Print an error message and exit gracefully. Class Constructors Your SafeWalkServer should have two constructors corresponding to the situations where port may or may not be given. Finish these two methods: /** * Construct the server, and create a server socket, * bound to the specified port. * * @throws IOException IO error when opening the socket. */ public SafeWalkServer ( int port ) th.

Overview If there is one important lesson you can learn as social scientists it is this: historical events never appear in isolation, but instead, are connected to previous events. In this assignment, you are going to construct a timeline in which you show how different events of the women's movement are interconnected. For example, could you imagine the federal approval of the pill in 1960 without the previous ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920? To what extent did the 19th century writings of Susan B Anthony influence the 1960s work of Betty Friedan or Gloria Steinem? Did women's decade-long involvement in the abolitionist movement influence other causes that women fought for after slavery was abolished? The questions you can ask are endless! Assignment This assignment comes in two parts. Part 1: Create a timeline that covers at least four major events of the women's movement. These do not necessarily have to be from the 1960s, and they can be within a relatively short timeframe (spanning just a few years), or a very long time frame (spanning a couple of centuries). It is entirely up to you! You can find templates for timelines online, or you create your own timeline in Word (Click on Insert, choose Illustrations, SmartArt for templates). Part 2: Write a brief, 300-500 word commentary that explains how each of these four events that you have mentioned in your timeline is interrelated. In this commentary, you may write about how one event led into the next, and so on, or you may write about how one very significant event led to the other three. The way that you describe the interrelatedness of these events is up to you, but you must demonstrate that you understand how interconnected they are. .

Over 600,000 Americans lost their lives in the Civil War, with the Northern troops suffering higher losses. The North believed the sacrifice was worth it; the slaves were freed, and the Union was preserved. The South, on the other hand, began almost immediately to glorify the lost cause. They turned their generals into mythic heroes and looked wistfully back at the antebellum period. They almost regretted surrendering. Historian Shelby Foote said, Any understanding of this nation has to be based…on an understanding of the Civil War . . . The Civil War defined us as what we are, and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things. It is very necessary if you’re going to understand the American character in the 20th century to learn about this enormous catastrophe of the mid-19th century. It was the crossroads of our being.
