This abstract paper talks how we can think a certain city as a smart one, representation on modern practices to make cities smart. A set of the everyday multidimensional factors motivating the smart city concept and the primary things for anup-and-coming smart city lead is identified by exploring current working definitions of smart city and a diversity of various theoretical connections related to smart city. The document deals considered principles aligning to the three main dimensions (technology, people, and institutions) of smart city: integration of infrastructures and technology-mediated services, social learning for strengthening human infrastructure, and governance for institutional improvement and citizen engagement.

Abstract: In 2050, the number of people living in cities will be almost as large as the world’s entire population today. That’s why we need completely new approaches to be taken in order to make our cities to be Smart City. Smart Cities gained importance as a means of making ICT enabled services and applications available to the citizens, and authorities that are part of a city’s system. It aims at increasing citizens’ quality of life, and improving the efficiency and quality of the services provided by governing entities and businesses. Smart City is a type of city that uses new technologies to make them more livable, functional, competitive and modern through the use of new technologies, the promotion of innovation and knowledge management. Cities today are facing significant challenges including increasing populations, infrastructures, and declining budgets.

The citizen engagement platform is the outcome of a 3-year Italian national project called PRISMA (Interoperable cloud platforms for smart government; http://www.ponsmartcities- prisma.it/). The aim of the project is to constitute a new model of digital ecosystem that can support and enable new methods of interaction among public administrations, citizens, companies, and other stakeholders surrounding cities. The platform has been defined by the media as a flexible (enable the addition of any kind of application or service) and open (enable access to open services) Italian Bcloud^ that allows public administrations to access to a vast knowledge base represented as linked open data to be reused by a stakeholder community with the aim of developing new applications (BCloud Apps^) tailored to the specific needs of citizens. The platform has been used by Catania and Syracuse municipalities, two of the main cities of southern Italy, located J Knowl Econ (2016) 7:388–412 DOI 10.1007/s13132-016-0361-0 * Diego Reforgiato Recupero [email protected] 1 National Research Council (CNR), Via Gaifami 18, 95126 Catania, Italy 2 Sielte, Via Cerza 4, 95027 San Gregorio di Catania, Italy 3 Datanet, Syracuse, Contrada Targia 58, 96100 Syracuse, Italy 4 Paris Nord University, Sorbonne Citè CNRS UMR7030, France 5 Etna Hitech, Viale Africa 31, 95129 Catania, Italy 6 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy http://www.ponsmartcities-prisma.it/ http://www.ponsmartcities-prisma.it/ http://crossmark.crossref.org/dialog/?doi=10.1007/s13132-016-0361-0&domain=pdf in the Sicilian region. The fully adoption of the platform is rapidly spreading around the whole region (local developers have already used available application programming interfaces (APIs) to create additional services for citizens and administrations) to such an extent that other provinces of Sicily and Italy in general expressed their interest for its usage.

1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case) Natalie got the call she had been waiting for over six long months. Her complaint to the human resources department of Franklin Industries had been dismissed. It was HR’s conclusion that she was not retaliated against for reporting an alleged embezzlement by the Accounting Department manager. In fact, HR ruled there was no embezzlement at all. Natalie had been demoted from assistant manager of the department to staff supervisor seven months ago after informing Stuart Masters, the controller, earlier in 2015, about the embezzlement. Her blood started to boil as she thought about all the pain and agony she’d experienced these past six months without any level of satisfaction for her troubles. Natalie Garson is a CPA who works for Franklin Industries, a publicly owned company and manufacturer of trusses and other structural components for home builders throughout the United States. Six months ago she filed a complaint with HR after discussing a sensitive matter with her best friend and coworker, Roger Harris. Natalie trusted Harris, who had six years of experience at Franklin. The essence of the discussion was that Natalie was informed by the accounting staff of what appeared to be unusual transactions between Denny King, the department manager, and an outside company no one had never heard of before. The staff had uncovered over $5 million in payments, authorized by King, to Vic Construction. No one could find any documentation about Vic, so the staff dug deeper and discovered that the owner of Vic Construction was Victoria King. Further examination determined that Victoria King and Denny King were siblings. Once Natalie was convinced there was more to the situation than meets the eye, she informed the internal auditors, who investigated and found that Vic Construction made a $5 million electronic transfer to a separate business owned by Denny King. One thing lead to another, and it was determined by the internal auditors that King had funneled $5 million to Vic Construction, which, at a later date, transferred the money back to King. It was a $5 million embezzlement from Franklin Industries. Natalie met with Roger Harris that night and told him about the HR decision that went against her. She was concerned whether the internal auditors would act now in light of that decision She knew the culture at Franklin was “don’t rock the boat.” That didn’t matter to her. She was always true to her values and not afraid to act when a wrongdoing had occurred. She felt particularly motivated in this case—it was personal. She felt the need to be vindicated. She hoped Roger would be supportive. As it turned out, Roger cautioned Natalie about taking the matter any further. He had worked for Franklin a lot longer than Natalie and knew the board of directors consisted mostly of insider directors. The CEO of Franklin was also the chair of Page 181the board. It was well known in the company that whatev.

1. Date: September 13, 2017 – September 15, 2017 2. Current Exchange Rate ($ / rupee): 1/64.16 3. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major economic or business news relating to India? http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/economy-suffers-as-firms-tackle- debt/article19677814.ece In India this year, there are a fair amount of firms and businesses that are having issues paying off interest on their loans. On top of this, fewer loans are happening and the state’s GDP growth rate has lowered this year. The article lists several factors, one of which is pretty simple; interest rates are high at the moment. This article on business interested me because this is an issue that is relatable to every modernized country on Earth, how to pay off debt when you aren’t making enough this year to cover costs? You can’t, so the unpaid portions add up. I didn’t feel like there was a strong bias in this article, but I’m also not accustomed to the Indian financial market or its businesses. How is this story relevant to my understanding of India? It lets me take an inside look at the current economy and how they might be fairing in comparison. It also shows that business and banking policies are not that different on some levels. 4. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major political news in India? http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/patronising-congress- again-a-historic-necessity/article19679153.ece First, why do I consider this major political news in India? The discussions and accusations being talked about in the article are serious and can definitely effect votes for the mentioned political parties, which in turn can change or add new laws, regulations, taxes, and etc. The title seemed incredibly familiar to what we always see in American newspapers about our politics. I felt that the author, or maybe the newspaper, might actually lean more towards the BJP and TDP’s opposing forces. Other than that, there were tons of biased quotes from both parties. So, why do I think this topic is relevant to my understanding of India? Simply put, just as with business and banking, there is this kind of familiarity in a way. This article lets me get an inside view on the current parties and the accusations being made, showing me that politics is a somewhat universal language, one part attack ads, one part confusion, and one part progress. 5. What new information have you found related to religion in India?http://www.thehindu.com/society/faith/tendencies-of- prakriti/article19656107.ece We talked a lot about how the culture of India and the religions of it can definitely be intertwined. This short article tells of the three ‘gunas’, which I didn’t know much about if anything really. As far as biases go, you could say that the article is biased to what it is teaching about this religious aspect, but honestly, it feels more informative. Why is thi.

1. Compare and contrast Strategic and Tactical Analysis and its application to street crimes such as robbery and property crimes such as burglary. In your opinion is one more suited in addressing criminal behavior? Strategic analysis involves the analysis over the long-term, whereas tactical analysis involves analysis in a more direct manner. Each has analysis scheme has their uses in addressing criminal behavior. To use an example with drug activity strategic analysis would be better suited to understanding who could be the future customers of drug dealers, where are possible locations that could facilitate such deals, and helping law-enforcement and community leaders come up with measures to combat drug sales. However, the tactical analysis would focus more on finding out where the current supply of drugs is coming in from, who the leader(s) is(are), and cracking down on local dealers. While there is overlap between the two, I believe that tactical analysis is the best when addressing criminal behavior, because of the more immediate results that it provides. 2. What is CPTED? Please elaborate on how CPTED may be an effective means to reduce a criminals Modus operandi? Provide an example. CPTED is an acronym that stands for crime prevention through environmental design which is “The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life” (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). This means that CPTED is all of the passive defenses that the environment provides law-abiding citizens against criminally minded individuals. These defenses can be broken down into six different aspects that work together to create CPTED they are: territoriality, surveillance, access control, target hardening, image/maintenance, and active support (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). All of these aspects work together to decrease crime in the area. respond to this discussion question in 250 words .

1. Coalition Proposal Vaccination Policy for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Scope of the Problem Vaccines have done an excellent job at preventing many diseases, some of which can be deadly if not prevented. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, they immediately begin to attack and multiply, which then causes an infection. The immune system will then fight off the infection and establish antibodies, which will help recognize and fight off the same disease in the future. For this very reason, it has been important for children to be vaccinated at an early age so that they may establish those antibodies their bodies need. Vaccines act as the disease so that the body may produce antibodies, but the good thing is that it won’t cause an infection (CDC, 2017). There are current policies that mandate vaccinations in the U.S., for example, all children are required to be up to date on their vaccines before beginning school. The problem is that there are many loopholes and exceptions to the rule, whether it’s due to religious reasons or other medical issues. Because of this, there are still many children and adults who have yet to be fully compliant with vaccine requirements Some important statistics to note (Johns Hopkins Medicine): · CDC estimated 2,700 new cases of hepatitis A in the U.S. · It is estimated that in 2011, 19,000 new cases of hepatitis B and 17,000 cases of hepatitis C occurred. · In 2012, nearly 10,000 new cases of tuberculosis were reported. · Approximately 36,000 people per year die from influenza and pneumonia. · 50,000 new cases of HIV infection occur annually. · In 2012, new cases of STD’s were reported, including HPV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, and Syphilis. Who is affected by this problem? Identify. Children are mainly affected by this problem due to parents’ hesitancy for vaccinations. Although law mandates for children to be vaccinated for school enrollment, parents have the option to use exemptions to avoid having their children vaccinated. Currently, medical exemptions are allowed for medical reasons in all states, and it is estimated that one to three percent of children are excused from vaccinations because of these exemptions. Parents have continued to use reasons to avoid vaccinations, for example, the belief that the decline in vaccine-preventable diseases is due to improved health care, hygiene, and sanitation (Ventola, C. L., 2016). Health disparities among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites have played a huge role in terms of vaccination coverage. Studies have shown that health insurance has a direct impact on the vaccination coverage in adults, therefore, low-income families who can’t afford health insurance will most likely not get the vaccines they need. With that being said, uninsured prevalence was higher among non-Hispanic blacks (19.5%) and Hispanics (30.1%) compared with non-Hispanic whites (11.1%) (Lu, P., et al, 2015). What has been written on the issue and policy options? There ha.

1. Company Description and Background a. Weight Watchers was created by Jean Nindetch in 1963 when she began to invite her friends and neighbors so that they can discuss their weight loss issues and how they could lose weight successfully. The basic concept of WW plan consisted of two components: the WW program and group support. Comprised of a food plan and an activity plan. WW eliminated counting calories by introducing a point system. b. Targeted women 25 to 55 c. 2017 about 1 million members who attended 32,000 WW meetings around the world organized by more then 9,000 leaders who had successful lost weight using WW. d. Record high revenue 2011 $1.8 billion, in 2012 a slight reduction occurred but beat all pre-2011 numbers, in 2013 is when business began take a turn for the worse. e. December 2015, WW launched a SmartPoints system which was a scale for food management. It was introduced to work along with a new weight management program called “Beyond the Scale.” Even thought doctors and nutrition’s approved the program, then-CEO David Kirchhoff felt it wasn’t enough because the programs didn’t take into account social, environmental and behavioral factors that led members to fail at their weight loss journey. Shortly after in August 2013, CEO Kirchhoff resigned in order to “pursue other opportunities” which left WW struggling to adjust their business strategy in the Internet Age. 2. Problems Posed In The Case a. CEO Jim Chambers resigned in September 2016 afterward a tumultuous year with stock prices dropping 54% that year alone and seven straight quarters of declining sales. b.

1. Come up with TWO movie ideas -- as in for TWO screenplays that you'd be interested in writing. You will eventually choose ONE screenplay to live with for the duration of this course. You will distill each idea into a single sentence. We call this a LOGLINE. A good logline: 1. Must include your PROTAGONIST. 2. Must be under 50 words. 3. Must contain the word "BUT" ("but" signifies conflict). After you write the logline. Tell us about your PROTAGONIST. What is her/his most pressing DESIRE? What are some of the potential OBSTACLES that can get in the way? TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE! Here's an example: MOVIE IDEA #1 WORKING TITLE: "COLLATERAL" LOGLINE: A cab driver dreams of starting his own limo company, BUT when a hitman gets into his cab, our hero must figure out how to survive the night. PROTAGONIST: Max (Cab Driver) DESIRE: To stop Vincent (the Hitman) POTENTIAL OBSTACLES: The HITMAN who never fails. THE COPS who think Max is the hitman. THE GANGSTERS who want the hitman dead. MAX’s own timid and hesitant nature. 2.What is the INCITING INCIDENT in your two film ideas? What is the 1stACT BREAK? Example: MOVIE TITLE: COLLATERAL INCITING INCIDENT: Vincent gets into Max’s cab, makes Max an offer 1STACT BREAK: Body drops on Max’s cab; Reveal Vincent is a Hitman (To discover your inciting incident possibly contemplate what the worst thing that could happen to your particular character would be) Interview questions 1.

1. Choose a case for the paper that interests you. Most choose a case that they experienced on the job (e.g., company merger, reorganization, adoption of innovation or new procedure). If you have never experienced anything remotely like this, then you could choose a case in your community that interested you (e.g., political issues like taxes, land acquisition, school boards). If none of those apply then you can choose a case that is personal to you (e.g., getting a raise, selling something to a client or customer). If you have never worked, then choose a case you may experienced as an intern or student. I am pretty liberal about the kind of case that you choose. 2. Choose a case that involved a failed change attempt or proposes a change that has never been attempted. DO NOT CHOOSE A CASE THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL. The outline is hard to use when describing successful change attempts. 3. Write the paper as an expanded outline. That means writing paragraphs under the lower level headings. By using the outline as headings, you won’t leave something out. 4. With regard to length, some overwrite Section I. I think they get into describing the problem and go on a tirade. Although cathartic, it eats space. Section II should be relatively brief and the shortest of the three sections. Section III is where you should be writing a lot. That is where you are showing me that you can use the course content to propose an effective change. 5. Remember that you will be sending the paper to me as an attachment. I will grade it and make comments in the file. I will return it to you at the SAME address from which I received it. IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE TO SEE THE PAPER, USE YOUR STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS. DO NOT USE YOUR WORK ADDRESS. 6. I will erase all papers at the end of the term. I never share papers with others. Below I will give you some insights into the outline. SUGGESTED OUTLINE FOR CHANGE MANAGEMENT PAPERS I. Statement of problem area. In this section, describe the change attempt and the key players. A. Background of change attempt. 1. Nature of change (What is being proposed?). In this section, provide an overview of the change including a brief history. 2. Issues (Why is it being proposed?). If you are writing about a failed change, indicate why it was proposed and how it failed. If you are writing about a proposed change, then describe the problem it is intended to resolve. 3. Change Agent(s). This section is focused on the people who proposed or will propose the change. If there are only a few change agents, you can describe what each on is like. If you are there many, then describe their general characteristics. 4. A. Personality. What are they like? If you want, you can refer to the personalities I mention in the handout on integrative bargaining. B. Power. What kind of power do the change agents have and how much? Is their power formal (e.g., authority) and/or or informal (e.g., expertise, chari.
