Individual Assignment: Social, Ethical and Legal Implications
Purpose of Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to help students think through the importance of social, legal and ethical
issues that may arise with their product or service and the implications of decisions made within those
frameworks. It is designed to help the learners understand ethical and legal issues related to marketing
practices. This knowledge helps to prevent such issues when developing the marketing strategies in their
marketing plan. The executive overview of the marketing plan is not a summary and conclusion, but an
overview of what the plan entails and what it does not address.

7. Consider the following scenario and produce a report for the
target audience
including a logical schema for a relational database solution.
This report will include:
Task 1). This
discussion should include the identified entities and attributes
in 1NF,
2NF and 3NF.
ty Relationship Diagram (ERD) for the
final 3NF
design (Task2).
include an
appropriately completed Entity Description Form (EDF) as per
example
provided at the end of this document.
Solution
s must be word processed with the complete assignment
compiled into
a single, structured document for submission. Hand-
drawn/written submissions

Figure 3: Sample of the Log
You have been hired as consultant for Kameelperd Hydraulic
Equipment
Company. They are a business which has been operating for
several years and
has a well-established reputation in industry. They have been
extremely
successful, and the business has grown over the past few years.
However,
despite this growth, they have never updated their business
management
12. systems to be more efficient than their original paper-based
system.
Figure 2 Shows a user report from the business. The report
shows the
Salesperson Number, Salesperson Name, and the Sales Area.
The body of the
report shows the Customer Number and the Customer Name.
Next is the
Delivery Company Number that will ship products that was
ordered to the
customer, followed by the Delivery Company location, which is
the city in which
the company is located. The final information contained in the
user view is the
Sales Amount. This Sales Amount is used to manage the
performance of
salespersons and is calculated monthly based on the total
amount of sales made
by individual salespersons to each of their customers.

13. In this business there are several salespeople employed. They
each cover a
single sales area, although they compete against each other in
that area, as
many of them target the same areas for customers. Naturally
the salespeople
can have many customers. Some of them have had the same
customers for
years with many transactions, but they are also always scouting
for new
customers. A key to the business’s success has been the good
relationships
and communication channels which the salespeople build with
their customers.
Each customer has their dedicated salesperson on a sale
transaction (invoice)
and often, although not always, on most of their transactions.
(Note: It is still
possible for a customer to make use of a different salesperson.)
A salesperson can write many invoices, each invoice represents
one sale made
to a single customer, to be shipped using a specific Delivery
14. Company, to a
specific address. An invoice has one or more invoice lines. An
invoice line
records the sales information for a single product, namely:
Product Number,
Description, Quantity Sold, and Unit Price. Each product is
provided by a specific
supplier. A supplier can supply many different products.
Useful operations knowledge:
delivery company nearest to the customer will always be
the one used to
service their order.

Task1:
Based on the provided documentation and information you are
required to begin
15. to design a more efficient relational database which can be used
to store all this
information in a more accessible and useable manner.
The first step of this design would be to show how the data
could be more
efficiently structured in the database. This would be achieved
through
normalization.
Your task is to clearly demonstrate the normalization process
and the different
normalized forms of the data. Transform the complex user views
and data stores
to a set of smaller, stable data structures.
Note: That during the identification of possible entities and
attributes it might be
necessary to make assumptions where requirements are not
completely clear or
obvious. These assumptions should be clearly documented, as
stated, consider
your assumptions to be the issues you would wish to discuss
with the customer
on a return visit. You should also note any business rules you
16. may require if you
were to implement this database.
Show 1NF, 2NF and 3NF.
Task 2:
Represent the now normalized information in a data model.
Show first an ERD,
and the EARD. Remember to also complete an Entity
Description Form (EDF)
for each of your identified entities. (See template after the
marking rubric at the
end of this document)
Additional Advice
p
your Logical
Schema, you will therefore need to make some assumptions.
When you
do this, you must note them explicitly in your submission
covered in the
17. course). You should also ensure you name all entity types,
attributes and
relationships clearly and appropriately.
ability to organize,
structure and present your work is also being assessed as well as
your
ability to design a relational database solution.
NOTE: This is an individual assignment. You are therefore
required to work
independently on your solutions. Group work will not be
accepted.
