There are over seven thousand spacious suites, designer shopping, world-class dining, and incredible entertainment. The location also includes a theatre where very well-known acts perform year round. The venue has an estimated seating capacity of 5,000. Typically, the theatre books a resident performer for 9-12 months at a time. Most recently, they signed on Brianne Smalle – a chart topping twenty-five year old pop sensation – to begin performing in the next 30 days. Unfortunately, Brianne has just been arrested after a multi-state car chase. To make matters worse, when she was finally stopped, the police found proof of major involvement in an international drug ring. In addition to her charges of DUI, she is now being accused of various charges related to the drug ring including money laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking, kidnap and murder. The Non-Gambler Expo & Convention Center was opened in 2002 to respond to the demands of the city. The Expo & Convention Center boasts over 2 million square feet with exhibit space of 1.5 million square feet. The location is central and is walking distance from over 100,000 guest rooms. The Convention Center is in the process of undergoing major renovations in order to accommodate the technology needs and desires of their guests and vendors. The intention was to complete the renovations by the end of the summer. Unfortunately, the main contractor, Trust Us Construction, is three months behind schedule due to the main project manager’s recent problems with gambling addiction. The convention center has a major exposition scheduled in two weeks for Fine China and Crystal of The World. The owner of the Center is convinced that the expo will go on as planned, confident that spare boards, exposed cords, drilling, hammering and multiple construction workers walking through the ex.

Iranian Women and GenderRelations in Los AngelesNAYEREH .docx

Iranian Women and Gender Relations in Los Angeles NAYEREH TOHIDI In California, the popular face of immigration tends to be either Latin American or Asian, but large numbers of immigrants who come from other regions in the world, especially the Near East, have been quietly reshaping California demography. In this study, Nayereh Tohidi focuses on the Iranians who have come to Los Angeles in the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, largely middle- and upper-middle-class Tehrani- ans who have fled the repressive policies of the current post-Shah, fundamentalist regime. But American freedoms have offered particular challenges to Iranian immigrants, especially women, who tend to have "more egalitarian views of marital roles than Iranian men," in Tohidi's words, a "discrepancy" that has led to "new conflicts between the sexes." Thus, Iranian women immigrants are at once freer than their sisters in Iran, more conflicted, and more in need of a "new identity acceptable to their ethnic community and appropriate to the realities of their host country." Tohidi is an associate professor of women's studies at California State University, Northridge. She directs a new program in Islamic Community Studies at CSUN and is also a research associate at the Center for Near Eastern Studies at the University of Califor- nia, Los Angeles. Tohidi's publications include Feminism, Democracy, and Islamism in Iran (1996), Women in Muslim Societies: Diversity within Unity (1998), and Global- ization, Gender, and Religion: The Politics of Women's Rights in Catholic and Muslim Contexts (2001). I mmigration is a major life change, and the process of adapting to a newsociety can be extremely stressful, especially when the new environment is drastically different from the old. There is evidence that the impact of migration on women and their roles differs from the impact of the same process on men (Espin 1987; Salgado de Snyder 1987). The migration literature is not conclusive, however, about whether the overall effect is positive or negative. Despite all the trauma and stress associated with migration, some people perceive it as emancipatory, especially for women coming from environments where adherence to traditional gender roles is of primary importance. As [one researcher] said, "When the traditional organization of society breaks down as a result of contact and collision .. . the effect is, so to speak, to emancipate the individual man. Energies that were formerly controlled by custom and tradition are released" (Furio 1979, 18). My own observations of Iranians in Los Angeles over the past eight years, as well as survey research I carried out in 1990,1 reveal that Iranian 1 This article draws on a survey of a sample of 134 Iranian immigrants in Los Angeles, 83 females and 51 males, and on interviews with a smaller sample of women and men. 149 1 50 The Great Migration: Immigrants in California History women immigrants in Los Angeles are a homogeneou.

IQuiz # II-Emerson QuizGeneral For Emerson, truth (or.docx

I Quiz # II-Emerson Quiz General: For Emerson, truth (or Spirit) is indwelling in the Universe, expressed through nature and man and perceived through Reason (or Intuition) rather than just understanding (reason, logic). All things are potentially microcosms, containing the germs of all Truth, and so are not to be read as logical arguments Here are some quotes from "Self Reliance," Choose one and explain what Emerson means in your own words in 500 words. Due at our next meeting-Oct. 31, 2013 1. "Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense" 2. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents." 3. "Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members." 4. "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." 5. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin oflittle minds, [famous Emersonism] adored by little statements and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do." 6. "The centuries are conspirators against the sanity and authority of the soul." 7. "Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose." [another famous Emersonism] 8. "Just as men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the intellect. " 9. 10. "In the Will work and acquire, and thou has chained the wheel of Chance, and shalt sit thereafter out of fear from her rotations .... Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." . ------ -- .

Iranian Journal of Military Medicine Spring 2011, Volume 13, Issue 1; 11-16 * Correspondence; Email: [email protected] Received 2010/09/08; Accepted 2010/12/14 Personality traits, management styles & conflict management in a military unit Salimi S. H. 1 PhD, Karaminia R. 2 PhD, Esmaeili A. A. * MSc * Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran; 1 Sport Physiology Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran; 2 Department of Clinical Psychology, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Abstract Aims: Personality of managers affects their managerial style and their conflict management method. This study was performed with the aim of investigating the relation between personality traits, leadership styles and conflict management methods in a military unit. Methods: This cross-sectional correlation study was performed on 200 senior managers of a military unit in Qom who were selected by available sampling method. The leadership style was investigated by leadership styles questionnaire and managers’ personality traits were investigated by NEO questionnaire and their conflict management method was studied by Robbins questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS 16 using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style was the most frequent style (65.5%) and compatible personality was the most observed characteristic (19.5%). The extrovert personality had positive relation with participatory management style. There was a significant positive relationship between the extrovert personality and management style score. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between neuroticism and incompatible style. Conclusion: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style is the most frequent style and compatible personality is the most observed characteristic among the studied unit’s senior managers. There is a significant positive relationship between solution-seeking and controller methods of managing conflict and management style score and there is a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and management style score. Keywords: Personal Traits, Management Styles, Conflict Management, NEO Questionnaire Introduction In the current era, understanding the personality of individuals is necessary in many situations of life. Managers' personality is effective in the process and choice of conflict resolution method and management style. Research shows that there is a significant correlation between personality traits and style of conflict management. An indifferent or impassive manager passes the issue and ignores it, while another manager shows serious reactions [1]. Therefore, for achieving organizational go.

Internet security, in general, is a challenge that we have been dealing with for decades. It is a regular topic of discussion and concern, but a relatively new segment of internet security is getting most attention—internet of things (IoT). So why is internet of things security so important? The high growth rate of IoT should get the attention of cybersecurity professionals. The rate at which new technology goes to market is inversely proportional to the amount of security that gets designed into the product. According to IHS Markit, “The number of connected IoT devices worldwide will jump 12 percent on average annually, from nearly 27 billion in 2017 to 125 billion in 2030.” IoT devices are quite a bit different from other internet-connected devices such as laptops and servers. They are designed with a single purpose in mind, usually running minimal software with minimal resources to serve that purpose. Adding the capability to run and update security software is often not taken into consideration. Due to the lack of security integrated into IoT devices, they present significant risks that must be addressed. IoT security is the practice of understanding and mitigating these risks. Let’s consider the challenges of IoT security and how we can address them. Some security practitioners suggest that key IoT security steps include: 1. Make people aware that there is a threat to security; 2. Design a technical solution to reduce security vulnerabilities; 3. Align the legal and regulatory frameworks; and 4. Develop a workforce with the skills to handle IoT security. Final Assignment - Project Plan (Deliverables): 1) Address each of the FOURIoT security steps listed above in terms of IoT devices. 2) Explain in detail, in a step-by-step guide, how to make people more aware of the problems associated with the use of IoT devices.

The document summarizes Anthony Lewis's book "Gideon's Trumpet", which details Clarence Earl Gideon's struggle for justice and freedom. Gideon, an indigent man accused of a crime, demanded counsel be appointed to him but was denied. He took his case to the Supreme Court, arguing this violated his civil rights. Ultimately, the Court ruled in Gideon's favor, establishing the precedent that states must provide legal counsel to criminal defendants who cannot afford private attorneys. The book examines Gideon's case and its impact in establishing this important civil liberty. It demonstrates how even a poor individual can challenge unjust laws and effect meaningful change through the legal system.

In Innovation as Usual How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas .docx

In Innovation as Usual: How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas to Life (2013), Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg discuss the importance of establishing systems within organizations that promote not only the creativity that results in innovation, but also make it possible for employees to bring innovative ideas to fruition. Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg argue that a leader’s primary job “is not to innovate; it is to become an innovation architect, creating a work environment that helps . . . people engage in the key innovation behaviors as part of their daily work” (p. 4). Such a work environment must be reinforced by innovation architecture—the structures within an organization that support an innovation, from the brainstorming phase to final realization. The more well developed the architecture and the simpler the processes involved, the more likely employees are to be innovators. For this assignment, you will research the innovation architecture of at least three companies that are well-known for successfully supporting a culture of innovation. Write a 1,500-word paper that addresses the following: 1. What particular elements of each organization’s culture, processes, and management systems and styles work well to support innovation? 2. Why do you think these organizations have been able to capitalize on innovation and intrapreneurship while others have not? 3. Based on what you have learned, what processes and systems might actually stifle innovation and intrapreneurship? 4. Imagine yourself as an innovation architect. What structures or processes would you put in place to foster a culture of innovation within your own organization? Include in-text citations to at least four reputable secondary sources (such as trade journals, academic journals, and professional or industry websites) in your paper. .

Invitation to the Life Span Read chapters 13 and 14. Objectives: Describe psychosocial changes in adulthood. Describe and analyze personality theories that apply to adulthood. Analyze the physical and cognitive changes that occur during late adulthood. Adulthood and Late Adulthood Introduction The last module began an examination of adulthood. This module will finish the study of adulthood and begin a look at late adulthood. Psychosocial Development in Adulthood Erikson's seventh stage of generativity vs. stagnation occurs during this stage. Being generative means truly caring about the next generation (e.g., being a parent, teacher, coach, or conservationist) (Boeree, 2006b). The idea of a mid-life crisis has been a popular notion since the 1970s (see Berger's description of Levinson's research on page 459), but very little evidence for it exists. Modern personality theorists have backed off the word crisis, which implies a do-or-die decision point, and instead have started using terms like marker events, turning points, or passages (Sheehy, 1976). Abraham Maslow created another prominent theory of personality development (examine his five stages of the hierarchy of needs in Berger, 2010, Figure 13.1, p. 457). The lowest level, physiological needs, must be satisfied first, followed by the others in ascending order. Because people spend so much time satisfying the four lowest needs, very few reach the highest stage of self-actualization, where people live up to their potential; at one point, Maslow estimated the percentage of self-actualizers to be around 2% (Boeree, 2006a). Numerous longitudinal studies have shown evidence of considerable stability and continuity in personality across the adult years (see Berger's discussion of Costa and McCrae's research). Robert Havighurst (cited in Newman & Newman, 2010) states that adults in their 20s and 30s must face four developmental tasks. Tasks 1 and 2, marriage and childbearing, are affected by societal expectations (called the social clock). The probability of divorce hits its peak 2 to 4 years after marriage. Qualities for a successful marriage include similarity in personal characteristics, trust, sensitivity, and adjustment (including a mutually satisfying sexual relationship, economic factors, sleep patterns, food patterns, and toilet habits) (Kimmel, cited in Newman & Newman, 2010). Task 3 involves work, and includes four components: having technical skills, handling authority relationships, coping with unique demands of the job, and establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. Task 4 involves establishing a lifestyle that is compatible for both spouses (as well as dealing with constraints placed on the marriage by the children) (Newman & Newman, 2010). For adults in their 40s and 50s, Havighurst (cited in Newman and Newman, 2010) discusses three crucial developmental tasks. Task 1 involves managing a household, including the following sub-tasks: 1) decision-making (about fina.

This document provides instructions for an ARM project to control LEDs on an I/O board from corresponding pushbuttons. The procedure involves setting up a While loop in LabVIEW to read input from the pushbuttons on the I/O board and write the corresponding output to light the LEDs. Data is read from the pushbuttons using one IOBOARD VI, passed to a second IOBOARD VI to write to the LEDs, with a half second delay in the loop. Running the VI allows testing to verify that pressing a pushbutton turns on its corresponding LED.

Investment Analysis & Portfolio Management AD 717 OL Homework Exercise 7 - Derivatives 1) On June 21, 2011, the GE’s stock closed at $18.81 per share. The accompanying table lists the prices for GE’s exchange-traded options. Using this data, calculate the payoff and the profit for each of the following September expiration options, assuming that at the September expiration the value of the stock was $17.72. a) Call option X = $17 b) Put option x = $17 c) Call option x = $19 d) Put option x = $19 e) Call option x = $15 f) Put option x = $21 2. It is mid July. You believe that Walmart stock which is currently priced at $53.00 will appreciate significantly over the next several months. A long-term equity call option (LEAPS) with an expiry in mid January and a strike price of $52.50 is available at a price of $2.50. You have $10,600 to invest. You consider 4 alternatives: a) Use your entire amount of funds to buy the stock outright b) Use the entire amount to purchase the stock on margin. Assume that the minimum margin requirement is 50% and that you will pay 7% (annually) on borrowed funds. c) Use the entire amount of funds to buy LEAPS call options with the January expiry date. d) Buy options for 200 shares and use the rest of the money to buy government bills paying 1% per year. (hence figure on 6 months of interest). For simplicity ignore any brokerage charges Calculate the net gain or loss from each strategy as of mid January assuming that the price of stock is: Gain / Loss from Investment in Walmart Investment Strategy Stock Price in Mid January $45 $50 $55 $60 Stock Outright Stock on Margin All Options Options & Bills 3) One of the financial instruments that attracted so much hostile fire in the analysis of the recent financial crisis were “Synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligations” (synthetic cdos) which used “synthetic debt” as its collateral. Describe how you could use a combination of risk free investments and derivatives to create the same pay-off / risk profile as if you were holding a corporate bond, say for IBM. Explain how the pay-off / risk profile is the same (a) if the company remains afloat and pays all of its debt obligations on time or (b) if the company defaults on its debt obligations. 4) A stock is currently priced at $50. The risk free interest rate is 10% per year. What is the value of a call option on the stock with a strike price of $45 due in one year? a) Using the Binomial valuation approach, assume that at the end of one year the value of the stock could either have increased to $60 or decreased to $40. b) Using the Black-Scholes model, assume that the annual volatility (standard deviation) of the stock price is 25%. 5) On June 29, 2010 the S&P 500 stood at 1308.44. The one year futures price on the index was 1278.7. The 1 year risk free rate was 0.238%. Using the Spot-Futures Parity relationship, calculate the annualized expected.

INVESTING IN STOCKS AND BONDSWhy Consider BondsBond.docx

mariuse18nolet

INVESTING IN STOCKS AND BONDS Why Consider Bonds? Bonds reduce risk through diversification. Bonds produce steady income. Bonds can be a safe investment if held to maturity. Your Rights as a Bondholder Bondholders are creditors Bond indenture Protective covenants Payment Characteristics of Bonds Face value: The amount the issuer pays to redeem the bond It is usually $1,000 for corporate bonds. Coupon interest payments: Most bonds have a fixed rate of return, which are the interest payments that are made every 6 months. The amount of the payment is determined by multiplying the bond’s coupon rate by the face value of $1,000. Example: An 8% bond pays $80 in interest per year (0.08 × $1,000) divided into two payments of $40 semiannually. Retirement Methods Redeemed at maturity Call provision Sinking fund provision Convertible bonds can be converted into common stock. Corporate Bonds Corporate bonds - allow firms to borrow money, are a major source of funding. Denominations in $1000. Secured bond – backed by collateral. Unsecured bond – a debenture. Hierarchy of bonds – subordinated debentures are low on the list. Government-Issued Bonds U.S. Treasury Securities U.S. Agency Bonds Conventional Mortgage-backed Municipal Bonds General obligation (GO) bonds Revenue bonds Special Types of U.S. Treasury Bonds U.S. Treasury Strips Inflation-Indexed Bonds Intended to lessen price risk of bonds The coupon rate is not changed. The redemption value is adjusted periodically to reflect inflation. Example: If annual inflation is 3%, the redemption value is increased to $1,030. Munis’ Income Tax Advantage Example: Muni Yield = 5.91% and Tax rate = 28% (0.28) FTEY = 5.91/(1.00 – 0.28) = 5.91/0.72 = 8.21% Compare to yields on taxable bonds and choose the bond with the highest yield. Special Situation Bonds Zero Coupon Bonds Junk bonds Bond Ratings – A Measure of Riskiness Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s provide ratings on corporate and municipal bonds. Ratings involve a judgment about a bond’s future risk potential. Default risk – ability to repay principal. Inability to meet interest obligations. The lower the rating, the higher the rate of return demanded by investors. Safest bonds receive AAA, D is extremely risky. Expected Return from Bonds Current yield (CY): annual interest divided by current price Example: Bond price (P) = $900 Annual coupon interest (I) = $120 The current yield calculation: CY = I/P = $120/$900 = 0.1333 or 13.3% The advantage of this calculation is that it is easy. The disadvantage is that ignores maturity. Yield to Maturity (YTM) Yield to maturity is the return you would earn by buying a bond today and holding it until it is redeemed by the issuer. Formula (approximation) YTM = [ I + (1,000 – P)/N]/ [(P + 1,000)/2] Example: I = 120, P = 900, N = 5 YTM = [120+(1,000 – 900)/5]/ [(900 + 1,000)/2] = [120 + 20]/ [950] = 140/950 = 0.1474 or 14.74% YTM Example..contd. .

Investigation 6Fraud Investigation Paper.docx

mariuse18nolet

Investigation 6 Fraud Investigation Paper Name Class Date Professor Fraud Investigation Paper The investigation of allegations against a plant employee of an acquired corporation, Lakes Inc has resulted in the discovery of falsely submitted expense claims. The investigation began after an anonymous tip was sent to officials in the company. The tip was received by the company on June 12, 2007. The tip stated the purchase for a computer server was fraudulent and a television had actually been purchased in its place. Upon further investigation, the company discovered there was no new computer server bought and in fact the purchase had been for a high definition television. The company hired an investigator and began to search for the culprit of this known fraud. It is important for companies to have protection in place to protect against acts of theft or fraud. It is estimated that one third of employees will commit an act of fraud against their place of employment (Wells, 2001). Smaller companies are more directly affected by these acts. Responding to these demands requires the auditor to have a thorough understanding of the misappropriation of the assets and fraudulent disbursement schemes. Although "internal theft" and "employee fraud" are commonly used, a more encompassing term is "asset misappropriation"(Wells, 2001). Asset misappropriation occurs when an employee uses company supplies or equipment to commit acts of fraud or for personal usage. Fraudulent disbursement schemes are any ploy that is used to steal or misuse the assets of the organization. The assets can be stolen in the form of cash, falsifying expense claims, and stealing inventory. Disbursement fraud is crimes were an employee manipulates receipts in order to have the company pay for a personal item for the employee. In the case of the fraud being committed at Lakes Inc, the investigator began the investigation in August of 2007 and the investigation was completed by November of 2009. During this time the investigator discovered the purchasing officer, Bob Smith, and his administrative assistant, Mary Bad, had developed a scheme to create false invoices that were masked as company purchases but were in fact personal items purchased for the purchasing agent and their assistant. The scheme involved purchasing the item with a company credit card and then creating a false invoice for the purchase and discarding the original copy. Once the investigator made these discoveries he contacted the vendor, Sterns, and verified that the invoice number on the file copy matched on the invoice they had for the sale of a high definition television. The investigator examined the physical assets database. Lakes, Inc. maintains a physical asset database in which all non-disposable items with a purchase price of $1,000 or more are recorded. Each item is assigned a unique ID number and barcode label, which are used to track the item. The datab.

Investment BankingTwo basic methods exist for transferring funds.docx

mariuse18nolet

Investment Banking Two basic methods exist for transferring funds from savers to users. The indirect transfer occurs through a financial intermediary such as a bank. You lend funds to the bank, which in turn lends the funds to the ultimate borrower. (The role of commercial banks and the various types of financial intermediaries was covered in Chapter 2.) The alternative is the direct sale of securities to investors in the primary market. While most purchases of stocks (and bonds) occur in the secondary markets such as the New York Stock Exchange, the initial sales occur in the primary markets. The primary and secondary markets perform different functions, but both are important financial institutions. Secondary markets increase your willingness to buy securities and primary markets are the means by which your savings are transferred to firms and governments. The initial sale of a security in the primary market is often executed with the assistance of investment bankers. While this initial sale occurs only once, it is exceedingly important, because it is the process by which securities come into existence. If firms and governments did not issue securities, you would have to find alternative uses for your savings. Firms and governments, however, do need funds, and they tap your savings through issuing and selling new securities in the primary markets. The secondary markets provide you with a means to sell these securities (or buy more) once they have been issued. This chapter also briefly describes the major federal laws that govern the issuing and subsequent trading in securities. The purpose of this legislation is not to ensure that you will earn a positive return. Instead its purpose is to ensure that you and all investors receive timely and accurate information. You continue to bear the risk associated with buying stocks and bonds. The Transfer of Funds to Business One purpose of financial markets is to facilitate the transfer of funds from individuals (and firms and governments) with funds to invest to those individuals (and firms and governments) that need funds. One method is an indirect transfer through a financial intermediary such as a commercial bank. The other method is the direct investment in the firm by the general public. This transfer occurs when you start your own business and invest your savings in the operation. But the direct transfer is not limited to investing in your own business. Firms (and governments) also raise funds by selling securities directly to the general public. The Role of Investment Bankers While companies could sell securities directly to you (and some do sell modest amounts of securities through programs such as the dividend reinvestment plans described in Chapter 10), the majority of these sales are executed through investment bankers. In effect, an investment banker serves as a middleman to channel money from investors to firms and governments that need the funds. If this sale is the first sale of .

Invited Paper – EDSIGCON 2017 Keynote Reflections on the Current State and Future of Information Systems Education Heikki Topi Bentley University Waltham, MA 02452, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT This essay discusses the current state of and potential future directions for information systems education structured around several key themes that have emerged as central in several large-scale IS education initiatives over the past 15 years. The core idea that connects all of these themes is the centrality of IS as a transformative enabler for virtually all goal-directed human activities. The essay emphasizes the role of IS as the initial integrative discipline that for decades has prepared its students to identify opportunities to fundamentally change multiple target domains with computational capabilities. Furthermore, the discussion recognizes the distinctive focus of IS on bringing multiple technologies together into systems that serve organizational and societal goals and underscores the responsibility to carefully consider implications and potential consequences of technology- based solutions. The essay also acknowledges the essential roles of formal quality assurance mechanisms (such as accreditation) and education-focused research as essential resources for the future of the discipline. Keywords: IS education, Competency, IS education research, Computing education, IS environment 1. INTRODUCTION I am honored and humbled to have this opportunity to reflect on the state of information systems (IS) education and offer some thoughts about the future of our field. The most important role of the information systems community is to educate new generations of professionals whose work focuses on the use of information systems to transform the ways in which organizations and societies are structured and operate to achieve their goals. There is no better way for us to have an impact on the world in which we live than by being the best coach, mentor, and facilitator of learning for our students. For a variety of reasons, it is now more important than ever to ensure that we offer our students educational experiences that are both effective and comprehensive, reaching from technical expertise to new business models and values-based ethical analysis of impact. Never in the history of civilization has a set of technologies had as profound a potential to change the world as systems based on information technologies have right now. Information systems have a truly fundamental role in the lives of all individuals, organizations, and societies, whether or not they recognize it. This is closely associated with the rapidly changing world of work, where artificial intelligence and IT- driven automation is changing job roles and relevancy of various professions at a pace that often exceeds the human capability to adapt. At the same time, physical and digital systems are increasingly fully integrated, and the action.

Investigating Our Cultural Norms 1Investiga.docx

Investigating Our Cultural Norms 1 Investigating Our Cultural Norms Full Sail University Investigating Our Cultural Norms 2 Instead of discussing several topics, I decided to focus on one personal experience that I see as a bricolage stemming from several different cultures and a variety of perceived origins. Several months ago I decided to adopt the mohawk hairstyle after remembering a picture of my grandfather with one when he was in WWII. Although it isn’t as popular a hairstyle anymore, I felt like it fit within cultural norms and I really couldn’t see any downside to cutting my hair like that, other then the occasional odd look (after all it is just hair). It was well received at home because of the positive connection it established with my grandfather and it was highly praised at work, which I think this is due to the culture Apple has established in being supportive of being different. Having the mohawk has made me feel more accepted within Apple, so I would say that I have experienced collective effervescence and thus has helped establish my collective identity. In fact, my hair has almost become a collective representation within our store: it’s talked about during meetings, I’ve been asked to pose for photographs to illustrate how Apple praises diversity, and has even been praised by corporate as a unifying symbol for the culture of the store. Working at the Apple Store exposes me to several different cultures in a given day, some of which have a different perception on what my haircut means. The most common one and the mariebelland Underline mariebelland Underline mariebelland Underline mariebelland Underline mariebelland Underline mariebelland Underline Investigating Our Cultural Norms 3 one that I would identify as my cultural norm is the view that most people from the United States or Europe take when associating the mohawk with the fashion style common in the punk rock subculture during the 70s and 80s (Burhan, 2010). However, I didn’t expect people who come from places like India, China, or Japan to think that I am Native American; often they make Indian like gestures at me, like cupping their hand over their mouth to simulate an Indian war cry (Native Circle, 2012). Probably the worst reaction I got came from the local Jewish community who assumed that I was a skinhead and were reluctant to approach me or even rude to me; as I later found out there was a large group of skinheads that terrorized the local Jews a few years ago and they are still nervous about it (The Anti-Defamation League, 2004). The true origins of the mohawk are unknown, but it’s been found in several different cultures around the world. A 2000-year-old Clonycavan Man was found near Dublin with a mohawk and artwork of Scythian warriors depict mohawks as a hairstyle in 600 BC (Aremy, 2011). In the sixteenth century Uk.

IPO Presentation: You work for a medium sized privately held electronics firm which is considering transitioning to a publically held organization. Your boss found out that you were taking business courses at Arizona University and has asked you to prepare a presentation for upper level management to explain the process by which a privately held company would transition to publicly held company. He has asked you to describe the general accounting processes involved in establishing an initial public offering (IPO), including but not limited to accounting for all assets, liabilities and equities of the firm. Prepare a 15-20 slide professional MS PowerPoint presentation which covers the following: · Identify and explain the top five reasons private companies go public. · Explain information the firm is required to provide to the investor with complete transparency. · Compare and contrast the differences in accounting processes and procedures that medium sized companies such as yours go through when going public. · Discuss any concerns you believe the company should guard against while transitioning from privately held to publicly held (shareholder apprehension, fair market value, etc.) and provide solutions to each concern. Use the notes section in MS PowerPoint to explain your talking points. Use at least two charts and two additional graphics which support your points. Utilize at least three references (one of which may be your text) in your presentation. .

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education

Peter Windle

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction. This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
