14 days ago Daniel Scott Information Technology Collapse Informed decision-making is an important aspect for working in the government. According to Milakovich and Gordon, provide some examples of how information technology can be used to assist bureaucrats in decision-making? Bureaucrats are neither able to anticipate every significant problem nor does the government consistently attempt to respond to problems prior to the problem reaching heightened levels. In many situations, aAbsent national security or natural disaster concerns, the national government lacks consistency in its response policy to address specific problems that arise. Thus government usually has to respond, instead of being in a position of being proactive, to such things as earthquakes, wild fires, floods and terror attacks/attempts. (Milakovich, M. E., & Gordon, G. J., pg. 376). As noted in our text readings; Frederick Taylor asserted a singular best practices approach to complete a task, absent consideration of the outside political impact or inside organizational dynamics; Max Weber failed to fully consider the inefficiency and misdirection of the organization; and Woodrow Wilson theorized a separation of politics and administration could be achieved. The culmination of these beliefs from founding scholars within the field, coupled with others, gave birth to oppositional schools of thought and ultimately an increase in citizen choice, participation and involvement with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), community service organizations, faith-based and nonprofit agencies. (Milakovich, M. E., & Gordon, G. J., pg. 382). I contend that information technology also played a role in the spread of information that made it easier for citizens/participants/recipients to become more aware on issues and in turn provide information or feedback in various forms of data that is used by decision makers. It has also increased awareness and afforded these various groups to share information, galvanize positions which impact bureaucracy decisions. At the core of bureaucracy plans is to have an organization that achieves what it was designed to achieve. Information technology can facilitate that goal set by the organization. Information technology afforded the government bureaucrats the ability to resolve known and unknown problem that arise. The Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle affords Bureaucrats the ability to plan, respond, study and act. Specifically data gathering, afforded by technology, affords the decision maker an opportunity to make a systematic investigation of alternative options and integrate evidence for and against each option. Time-trend projection which affords the decision maker the ability to compare pre-program date with actual postprogram data of projects is another method. Information data can be accumulated over extended periods of time and allow for the creation of projection, then the decision maker can compare the actual r.

Data for development
Data has the potential to create value and empower citizens but can also concentrate economic and political power if misused. An integrated national data system is needed where high-quality data is produced and shared safely among government, civil society, and private sector to inform policies and decisions. Such a system requires stakeholder collaboration, data literacy, and a social contract to ensure data benefits are equitably shared and risks of misuse are mitigated. A global consensus may also be required to realize data's development benefits while protecting security, privacy, and human rights across borders.

Census microdata from different countries and time periods is currently difficult to access, combine, and analyze due to differences in format and granularity. The authors propose applying Linked Open Data principles and semantic web technologies to publish census microdata in order to address these issues. They present a process for converting census microdata to Linked Open Data and apply it to two case studies: the 2001 Spanish census and the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series International framework. The results show census microdata can be published as Linked Open Data while preserving original structures, and this approach enables harmonization and integration across data sources.

Globally, e-Government has become an effective tool for civic transformation. In the recent years eGovernment development gained significant momentum despite the financial crisis that crippled the world economy. For most of the governments, the crisis was a wakeup call to become more transparent
and efficient. In addition, there is a growing demand for governments to transform from traditional agency/department centric approach to “Citizen-Centric” approach. This transformation is expected to enhance the quality of life of citizens in terms of greater convenience in availing government services. Eventually this would result in higher levels of citizen satisfaction and improved trust in government.

This necessitates a strategic framework comprehensive enough to visualize and enable the leaders in addressing the potential roadblocks or resistance. This report presents the outcome of a research to define a strategic framework that models the opposing and propelling forces dormant during a project time. This would help the strategic decision makers to visualize each project as a whole and take quick decisions in the areas that need additional thrust, to ensure that the initiatives achieve the envisaged goals.
Alchemy of Big Data
The document discusses how governments and organizations are increasingly collecting and analyzing large amounts of data. It provides examples of how the US government collects millions of documents annually and is moving from paper to electronic records. It also gives examples of how transportation agencies and healthcare systems are using analytics to improve operations and decision making. The document argues that advances in data analytics can help governments and businesses gain insights, increase efficiencies, and detect issues like fraud.

Literature review on how Information Technology has impacted governing bodies’ ability to align public policy with stakeholder needs
Nowadays, the governing bodies both in public and private sectors are dealing with complex systems on a day to day operations. These systems are made up of different components which present varying interactions and interrelationships with and/or among each other; therefore, making their management to be difficult or challenging. Indeed, Ruiz, Zabaleta & Elorza (2016), highlighted that public policymakers have to deal with complex systems which involve heterogeneous agents that act in non-linear behaviors making their management difficult. Neziraj & Shaqiri (2018) also stated that the policymakers are faced with problems which are complex and non-uniform due to a lot of uncertainties and risk situ.
E-Governance Model-unit-2.pptx

Digital government initiatives aim to address complex societal problems, but often encounter wicked problems themselves. This special issue examines how digital technologies interact with and influence wicked problems in several domains:
- Open data policies must consider context-specific factors to create value while reducing negative effects of open data initiatives.
- Smart grid investments face uncertainties around costs and benefits, requiring policy simulations to understand problems and develop recommendations.
- Crisis management demands expedient responses amid hyper-uncertainty, emphasizing transparency of search and rescue processes.
- Public health emergencies involve cross-border collaboration challenges and unintended consequences, highlighting the need for effective community networks and communication technologies.
- Digital divides persist but smartphones have helped narrow gaps, suggesting access

This document discusses engaging low-income residents in civic tech and data collaboratives. It emphasizes that without intentionally including low-income people, projects risk only addressing issues raised by those who already have a voice. The document outlines challenges to engagement and provides examples of how three CTDC cities meaningfully involved residents. In St. Louis, residents helped shape a court information website through surveys. In Boston, youth were hired to contribute to all stages of a youth employment project. In Seattle, using plain language like "civic needs" worked better than "civic tech and data".

Citizen 2.0
This document discusses a study examining Taiwanese bureaucrats' perceptions of the effectiveness of the Civil Service E-mail Box (CSEB) in facilitating communication with citizens and increasing governmental responsiveness. The study analyzes survey data from Taiwan's public administrators to determine how their perception of e-democratic administration and the government's information technology readiness influence their views on whether CSEB helps address citizens' complaints. The findings indicate that an unfriendly digital platform, lack of staff training, low valuation of e-democracy, and insufficient CSEB capabilities negatively impact bureaucrats' views of using information and communication technology to improve responsiveness.
E-Governance Slide.pdf
E-governance, meaning ‘electronic governance’ is using information and communication technologies (ICTs) (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) at various levels of the government and the public sector and beyond, for the purpose of enhancing governance. The application of ICT to transform the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of exchange of information and transaction:
between Governments,
between Government agencies,
between Government and Citizens, and
between Government and businesses
Government Process Re-engineering using IT to simplify and make the government processes more efficient is critical for transformation to make the delivery of government services more effective across various government domains and therefore needs to be implemented by all Ministries/ Departments.
NATIONAL E-GOVERNANCE PLAN (NEGP)
negpThe National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), takes a holistic view of e-Governance initiatives across the country, integrating them into a collective vision, a shared cause. Around this idea, a massive countrywide infrastructure reaching down to the remotest of villages is evolving, and large-scale digitization of records is taking place to enable easy, reliable access over the internet. The ultimate objective is to bring public services closer home to citizens, as articulated in the Vision Statement of NeGP.
“Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets,and ensure efficiency, transparency, and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man”
The Government approved the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 31 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 8 components, on May 18, 2006.

SOCIAL MEDIA ANALYTICS FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND EVENT DETECTION IN SMART CI...
Smart cities utilize Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors to enhance the quality of the city
services including energy, transportation, health, and much more. They generate massive
volumes of structured and unstructured data on a daily basis. Also, social networks, such as
Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, are becoming a new source of real-time information in smart
cities. Social network users are acting as social sensors. These datasets so large and complex
are difficult to manage with conventional data management tools and methods. To become
valuable, this massive amount of data, known as 'big data,' needs to be processed and
comprehended to hold the promise of supporting a broad range of urban and smart cities
functions, including among others transportation, water, and energy consumption, pollution
surveillance, and smart city governance. In this work, we investigate how social media analytics
help to analyze smart city data collected from various social media sources, such as Twitter and
Facebook, to detect various events taking place in a smart city and identify the importance of
events and concerns of citizens regarding some events. A case scenario analyses the opinions of
users concerning the traffic in three largest cities in the UAE

Abstract
Thise research proposal provides for the reviews of the current situation and previous literature on the problem challenges of tax administration. The discovered issues include problems with communication between public authorities and citizens, lack of relevant information about the allocation and use of funds. The review of the previous studies considered the approaches to the optimization of tax administration. Within the behavioral concept, the implementation of the e-government programs deems reasonable and well grounded. The advanced digitalization and widespread use of the social media require integration of these tools to the public services. Among the benefits of such measures are increased transparency, effective communication, and cooperation between government and taxpayers, motivation and empowerment of the citizens. The research should be conducted with the help of online data collection. The methods include the online questionnaire and content analyses of social media posts.

Optimization of Tax Administration
Introduction
The issue of taxation is essential for any society as it constitutes a basis of a state and enables a government to perform its primary functions. The citizens should provide a part of their income to receive security, healthcare, education, and other related services. The history of American taxation system traces back its origin to the times of the Civil War when Congress introduced the Revenue Act in 1861 ("U.S. Senate: The Civil War: The Senate's Story", 2018). There was a considerable scarcity of resources preventing the fight for national values and ideals. It was necessary to impose obligations on people to put the all the possible efforts together and win the democracy. Some citizens opposed the taxation policy, but the majority supported it with patriotic spirit. The same happened during the period of the Great Depression and the Second World War when most Americans voluntarily agreed to pay high taxes and unite their efforts for the common purpose (King, 2017).
Currently, the taxation administration features some problems, including the just proportion of income tax, debates about progressive and regressive systems, overall compliance and due payment. People often complain about high tax rates and inefficient application of the collected resources. The United States has one of the most significant state debt (Chantrill, 2018). One of the main contentious issues relates to the transparency of the information about taxpayers and the use of t.

Would you recommend that a patient with this condition go ahead and participate in this treatment? Why or why not?
Literature review on how Information Technology has impacted governing bodies’ ability to align public policy with stakeholder needs
Nowadays, the governing bodies both in public and private sectors are dealing with complex systems on a day to day operations. These systems are made up of different components which present varying interactions and interrelationships with and/or among each other; therefore, making their management to be difficult or challenging. Indeed, Ruiz, Zabaleta & Elorza (2016), highlighted that public policymakers have to deal with complex systems which involve heterogeneous agents that act in non-linear behaviors making their management difficult. Neziraj & Shaqiri (2018) also stated that the policymakers are faced with problems which are complex and non-uniform due to a lot of uncertainties and risk situ.
E-Governance Model-unit-2.pptx
This document discusses various models of e-governance and digital governance. It begins by introducing the broadcasting/wider dissemination model, which involves widely disseminating publicly available governance information using ICT. It then discusses the critical flow model, which focuses on broadcasting selectively critical information to targeted groups. Next, it covers the comparative analysis model, which benchmarks governance practices and advocates for improvements. Finally, it outlines the e-advocacy/mobilization model, which strategically shares information to build virtual communities and allies to strengthen real-world actions.

This document discusses engaging low-income residents in civic tech and data collaboratives. It emphasizes that without intentionally including low-income people, projects risk only addressing issues raised by those who already have a voice. The document outlines challenges to engagement and provides examples of how three CTDC cities meaningfully involved residents. In St. Louis, residents helped shape a court information website through surveys. In Boston, youth were hired to contribute to all stages of a youth employment project. In Seattle, using plain language like "civic needs" worked better than "civic tech and data".

Citizen 2.0
This document discusses a study examining Taiwanese bureaucrats' perceptions of the effectiveness of the Civil Service E-mail Box (CSEB) in facilitating communication with citizens and increasing governmental responsiveness. The study analyzes survey data from Taiwan's public administrators to determine how their perception of e-democratic administration and the government's information technology readiness influence their views on whether CSEB helps address citizens' complaints. The findings indicate that an unfriendly digital platform, lack of staff training, low valuation of e-democracy, and insufficient CSEB capabilities negatively impact bureaucrats' views of using information and communication technology to improve responsiveness.
E-Governance Slide.pdf
E-governance, meaning ‘electronic governance’ is using information and communication technologies (ICTs) (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) at various levels of the government and the public sector and beyond, for the purpose of enhancing governance. The application of ICT to transform the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of exchange of information and transaction:
between Governments,
between Government agencies,
between Government and Citizens, and
between Government and businesses
Government Process Re-engineering using IT to simplify and make the government processes more efficient is critical for transformation to make the delivery of government services more effective across various government domains and therefore needs to be implemented by all Ministries/ Departments.
NATIONAL E-GOVERNANCE PLAN (NEGP)
negpThe National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), takes a holistic view of e-Governance initiatives across the country, integrating them into a collective vision, a shared cause. Around this idea, a massive countrywide infrastructure reaching down to the remotest of villages is evolving, and large-scale digitization of records is taking place to enable easy, reliable access over the internet. The ultimate objective is to bring public services closer home to citizens, as articulated in the Vision Statement of NeGP.
“Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets,and ensure efficiency, transparency, and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man”
The Government approved the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 31 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 8 components, on May 18, 2006.

SOCIAL MEDIA ANALYTICS FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND EVENT DETECTION IN SMART CI...
Smart cities utilize Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors to enhance the quality of the city
services including energy, transportation, health, and much more. They generate massive
volumes of structured and unstructured data on a daily basis. Also, social networks, such as
Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, are becoming a new source of real-time information in smart
cities. Social network users are acting as social sensors. These datasets so large and complex
are difficult to manage with conventional data management tools and methods. To become
valuable, this massive amount of data, known as 'big data,' needs to be processed and
comprehended to hold the promise of supporting a broad range of urban and smart cities
functions, including among others transportation, water, and energy consumption, pollution
surveillance, and smart city governance. In this work, we investigate how social media analytics
help to analyze smart city data collected from various social media sources, such as Twitter and
Facebook, to detect various events taking place in a smart city and identify the importance of
events and concerns of citizens regarding some events. A case scenario analyses the opinions of
users concerning the traffic in three largest cities in the UAE

University of Southern California
Abstract
Thise research proposal provides for the reviews of the current situation and previous literature on the problem challenges of tax administration. The discovered issues include problems with communication between public authorities and citizens, lack of relevant information about the allocation and use of funds. The review of the previous studies considered the approaches to the optimization of tax administration. Within the behavioral concept, the implementation of the e-government programs deems reasonable and well grounded. The advanced digitalization and widespread use of the social media require integration of these tools to the public services. Among the benefits of such measures are increased transparency, effective communication, and cooperation between government and taxpayers, motivation and empowerment of the citizens. The research should be conducted with the help of online data collection. The methods include the online questionnaire and content analyses of social media posts. Comment by 作者: Connect e government with tax administration more clearly
Keywords: tax administration, e-government, social media.
Optimization of Tax Administration
Introduction
The issue of taxation is essential for any society as it constitutes a basis of a state and enables a government to perform its primary functions. The citizens should provide a part of their income to receive security, healthcare, education, and other related services. The history of American taxation system traces back its origin to the times of the Civil War when Congress introduced the Revenue Act in 1861 ("U.S. Senate: The Civil War: The Senate's Story", 2018). There was a considerable scarcity of resources preventing the fight for national values and ideals. It was necessary to impose obligations on people to put the all the possible efforts together and win the democracy. Some citizens opposed the taxation policy, but the majority supported it with patriotic spirit. The same happened during the period of the Great Depression and the Second World War when most Americans voluntarily agreed to pay high taxes and unite their efforts for the common purpose (King, 2017).
Currently, the taxation administration features some problems, including the just proportion of income tax, debates about progressive and regressive systems, overall compliance and due payment. People often complain about high tax rates and inefficient application of the collected resources. The United States has one of the most significant state debt (Chantrill, 2018). One of the main contentious issues relates to the transparency of the information about taxpayers and the use of t.

Case Study Scenario Part 3IntroductionThis media piece exp.docx
Case Study Scenario Part 3
Introduction
This media piece explains four ethical theories in order to prepare you for the Unit 3 assignment,
Case Study Resolution
. This media piece also includes parts 1 and 2 of the case study videos for your review.
Part 3
Deontology
The ethical position to do what is right out of duty or obligation. It is often called rule-based ethics.
Deontology has been described as "absolutist," "universal," and "impersonal" (Kant, 1785/1959). It prioritizes absolute obligations over consequences. In this moral framework, ethical decision making is the rational act of applying universal principles to all situations irrespective of specific relations, contexts, or consequences. This reflects Immanuel Kant's conviction that ethical decisions cannot vary or be influenced by special circumstances or relationships. Rather, a decision is "moral" only if a rational person believes the act resulting from the decision should be universally followed in all situations. For Kant, respect for the worth of all persons was one such universal principle. A course of action that results in a person being used simply as a means for others' gains would ethically unacceptable.
With respect to deception in research, from a deontological perspective, since we would not believe it moral to intentionally deceive individuals in some other context, neither potential benefits to society nor the effectiveness of participant debriefing for a particular deception study can morally justify intentionally deceiving persons about the purpose or nature of a research study. Further, deception in research would not be ethically permissible since intentionally disguising the nature of the study for the goals of research violates the moral obligation to respect each participant's intrinsic worth by undermining individuals' right to make rational and autonomous decisions regarding participation (Fisher & Fyrberg, 1994).
Utilitarianism
The ethical position depends on the consequences of the action with the goal being producing the most good.
Utilitarian theory prioritizes the consequences (or utility) of an act over the application of universal principles (Mill, 1861/1957). From this perspective, an ethical decision is situation specific and must be governed by a risk-benefit calculus that determines which act will produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad consequences. An "act utilitarian" makes an ethical decision by evaluating the consequences of an act for a given situation. A "rule utilitarian" makes an ethical decision by evaluating whether following a general rule in all similar situation would create the greater good. Like deontology, utilitarianism is impersonal: It does not take into account interpersonal and relational features of ethical responsibility. From this perspective, psychologists' obligations to those with whom they work can be superseded by an action that would produce a greater good for others (Fisher, 1999).

CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY For the Case Study assig.docx
CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY
For the Case Study assignment the current pathogen selections may be requested by sending
an email to your instructor!
Assigned Case Study Problem:
You will create a case study for a microbial infection selected from the current pathogen list. Your case
study will be assembled using a detailed rubric (see below). Upon completion, you will submit your
case study to the Blackboard gradebook in Unit 5 and to SafeAssign.
How to create a case study
The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment. This is your
chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate
these points in a written format.
What information belongs in my case study?
Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas shown in the Case Study Information
Chart (see below). The left-hand heading in the chart suggests the type of information requested for the
pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix). Be
sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate
into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up). These questions should help connect your
case to other material in the course. For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin? What other
viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread?
How much information should I provide for my case study?
For the Case Study, you are asked to provide at least the information requested in the chart below. The
boxed questions are suggestions for the minimum amount of information within each category. The
more detailed the information, the better the study. You may consult your textbook, CDC, WHO, Access
Medicine, Google Scholar, NCBI, WebMD, etc. to find the information. For example, if you perform a
Google search using the name of the pathogen and the word ‘vaccine’, you will find information on
current vaccines (if any), those in clinical trials, vaccines used only in animals, etc.
Case Study Information Chart
Typical Case What does a typical case look like? Use the standard format for a
patient presentation with chief complaint (CC), history of present illness
(HPI), key physical exam details (PE), lab findings, signature signs, and
any other important findings.
Description of the infectious
agent
If it is a bacterium, how is it classified? If it is a virus, what kind of
nucleic acid does it have? Does it target specific cellular types
(tropism)? Does it form a spore? Is it aerobic? Is it intracellular? Can it
only be grown in a specific type of media? How is it distinguished from
other members of the species? Does the pathogen have a significant
history with humans or animals?
Epidemiology What do you feel are the most important points about the
epidemiology of the disease? Incidence? Portal of entry? Source? Is it a
normal microb.

In 2007 San Francisco began its Healthy San Francisco Plan designed to provide health care for all San Francisco citizens. In 2007, it was estimated that San Francisco had 82,000 uninsured citizens. Under the plan, all uninsured citizens residing in San Francisco can seek care at the city's public and private clinics and hospitals. The basic coverage includes lab work, x-rays, surgery, and preventative care. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees. The plan requires all businesses with more than 20 employees to contribute a percentage toward the plan. Many business owners consider this a burden and warn they will not stay in the city. The Mayor sees universal health access a moral obligation for the city.
Take one of the following positions.
San Francisco has an obligation to provide its citizens with health access.-OR-
San Francisco does not have an obligation to provide its citizens with health access.
Discuss the following in your assignment
:
What is the government's role in regulating healthy and unhealthy behavior?
Has the balance between personal freedom and the government's responsibility to provide health and welfare of its citizens been eroded? Why or why not?

MINI CASE
Delivering Business Value with IT at Hefty Hardware2
"IT is a pain in the neck," groused cheryl O'Shea, VP of retail marketing, as she
slipped into a seat at the table in the Hefty Hardware executive dining room, next to her colleagues. “It’s all technical mumbo-jumbo when they talk to you and I still don’t know if they have any idea about what we’re trying to accomplish with our Savvy Store program. I keep explaining that we have to improve the customer experience and that we need IT’s help to do this, but they keep talking about infrastructure and bandwidth and technical architecture, which is all their internal stuff and doesn’t relate to what we’re trying to do at all! They have so many processes and reviews that I’m not sure we’ll ever get this project off the ground unless we go outside the company.”"You have got that right", agreed Glen vogel, the COO. " I really like my IT account manager, Jenny Henderson. She sits in on all our strategy meetings and seems to really understand our business, but that’s about as far as it goes. By the time we get a project going, my staff are all complaining that the IT people don’t even know some of our basic business functions, like how our warehouses operate. It takes so long to deliver any sort of technology to the field, and when it doesn’t work the way we want it to, they just shrug and tell us to add it to the list for the next release! Are we really getting value for all of the millions that we pour into IT?”
“Well, I don’t think it’s as bad as you both seem to believe,” added Michelle Wright, the CFO. “My EA sings the praises of the help desk and the new ERP system we put in last y.

The (Memphis Shelby County, Tennessee United States) will be examined to determine the current status of economic development. The resources for this study initially will come from public administrator generated information. The data will be assessed using S.W.O. T. Analysis. “Smart” Action Research will then be conducted to determine what specific economic development strategies may be employed to address areas of concern required for enhancing economic development prospects in the above jurisdiction. Using published scholarly resources and pertinent analytics, the action research efforts will turn to identifying options available to decision makers. This action research will result in a final report that provides both the criteria by which economic developments strategies may be weighed and a discussion of recommended actions, each uniquely assembled to improve the economic prospects for (Memphis Shelby County, Tennessee United States).

Case Study Project Part 2: Economic Development Analysis and Proposal Instructions
You will submit an Economic Development Analysis and Proposal Plan, consisting of 15-20 pages, not including the title page, abstract, or reference page. In order to complete this assignment, you must choose a specific locale that you want to use for your case study. You may wish to select the community in which you currently live or a hometown as the focus of this report. A case must be a “bounded system” with definable parameters (Stake, 1995). Thus, you must choose a locale that you can define and limit. For example, you should not use New York City. Its size is far beyond what you will be able to accomplish in this course. Likewise, you would not want to choose Huston, Idaho, as it is far too small to have a need for a cohesive economic development plan. In this assignment, you will target the specific situations found in an American city, town, or county. This assignment will require that you address the following six specific areas:
Locale
When choosing your locale, make sure that you will be able to find demographic and economic information. You will want to choose an area with which you are familiar or an area where there is obvious need. Attempt to pick a city or a town that is not extremely large (i.e., New York City, however, Staten Island could be a viable project). Choosing wisely will make your research more focused so that you can complete the research by the time the course has finished.
Economic Situation
You must detail the specific economic situation facing this location. For example, if you were to choose Flint, MI, you would have to discuss the impact of the auto industry moving away from the city and the subsequent economic and social conditions of the city. How has the economic shift impacted the city and how has the city responded in the last 30 years? Additionally, what initiatives.

Mary Post:
#2: To obtain the necessary transportation capabilities in a short timeframe, what type of software purchase option should myIoT pursue? Explain.
The software purchase option that myIoT, Inc. should pursue would be a SaaS application. This is an Internet based service where the software is accessed online and there is no need to have it installed on site. This is a less expensive option than purchasing software and licenses, and it allows access to the outside vendors. It is also cheaper than hosted software. Based on the cloud location, the setup time is faster, which is what myIoT needs for a two-month turnaround.
#3: What types of technology implementation challenges might myIoT face? How can these risks be minimized?
Application integration would pose a challenge. Since there is a short time-frame, ensuring all partners are “up and running” could be their biggest issue. There will need to be a training period for all that access the data. Should any of their vendors not have the same capabilities, this could throw off their entire operation. Also, due to the variety of systems organizing and sharing information might be a problem. MyIot would need to work with its supply chain partners and vendors to ensure they are all capable using the chosen TMS and begin to implement it right away. This will allow extra time to make changes and enforce training sessions.
Desmond Post
2. To obtain the necessary transportation capabilities in a short timeframe, what type of software purchase option should myIoT pursue? Explain.
My Iot should pursue a well designed TMS software system. This system specializes in planning the flow of materials across the supply chain. It's the core of routing, rating, and, executing shipments across multiple modes tracking, load tracing, and freight settlement. The capabilities and scope of TMS expands the software to a much more integrative system. It provides support for transportation strategic, tactical, and operational planning, as well as delivery execution, in transit visibility and performance evaluation. TMS also supports appointment scheduling, metrics monitoring, and freight bill auditing.
3. Whats types of technology implemenation challenges might my iot face? How can these risks be minized?
My Iot could potentially loose time in wages, delay of shipment, and possibly loose business with customers, but these risks could be minimized by implementing better planning, develop training within your team, create effective structure and monitor the technology program by following these simple steps below to correct system and human error as they occur:

Case Study Planning for GrowthKelly’s Sandwich Stop is one of t.docx
Case Study: Planning for Growth
Kelly’s Sandwich Stop
is one of the best-known and most loved sandwich concessions in town. In business for about five years, she sells sandwiches and other lunch items made from locally produced food from her mobile food trailer. Kelly’s passion and talent for creating reliably fresh, tasty lunch fare popular among a business clientele (largely employees and shoppers) has made her small enterprise a booming success.
In the last year, Kelly added a bicycle-towed concession that travels to different strategic locations in town, selling her popular sandwiches to customers who work beyond walking distance of
Kelly’s Sandwich
Stop
. She now has a total of four employees, all part-time, working both concessions. Because she caters to urban customers, her concessions operate on week days from 10 am to 2 pm. To promote word-of-mouth advertising, Kelly uses Facebook to publish her daily menus and the locations of the bicycle concession.
As a sole proprietor, Kelly has been pleased with her lunch business success. Now it’s time to get serious about the future of her business. In the short and medium term, she wants to see it grow into a potentially more lucrative enterprise, implementing a greater variety of food products and services, and increasing her competitive edge in the region. Ever the ardent entrepreneur, Kelly’s long-term dream is to develop her creative, health-conscious culinary skills and services into a wider clientele outside the region.
An opportunity has arisen to lease restaurant space about 10 miles away from her trailer concession location, close to a mall and the suburbs and nearer to her local food producers. Kelly has jumped at the chance. While she has hired professional business consultants to help her set up the space, design the menu, and implement the opening of the restaurant, she must also consider the short- and long-term financial, HR, and management needs of such an expansion. Kelly is particularly sensitive to her relationship to her customers, employees, and the community.

Case Study One:
BMGT 464 Portfolio Activity Two
Purpose:
In this case the committee is looking to see how you can apply communication skills to obtain the maximum job performance of the employee in each of the short scenarios. After reading each short case, prepare answers to the questions for the upcoming search committee interview to review.
Outcomes:
The students will demonstrate understanding of the following outcomes:
· How to manage, organize, and lead employees;
· To identify the organizational theory related to increasing job performance to raise company effectiveness;
· How to communicate effectively to affect change or motivation; and
· Writing for persuasiveness.
Scenarios and Questions:
After reading each short case, prepare answers to the questions for the upcoming search committee interview to review.
1) “RLI Home Builds a Castle on Communication”
Since the outset the owner Ralph Lorean has prided himself on focusing the culture of the company on excellent customer service. Managers know that a culture like this would only work if the company’s employees enjoyed their work and the company. He wanted to build a company where every employee felt they owned the castle. Ralph believed that communication was essential to making an employee feel a part of the group, so he often said that he never wanted employees to “read about their company in the media and learn something new.”
Because RLI is international in scope it is possible that on any given day or time two thirds of its 2,000 employees are outside an office. To conquer the communication this problem imposes Ralph is surveying his managers to see if they think a new, but very expensive, “dashboard” intranet system would be worth the expenditure. The system would ensure optimal communication strategies allowing every employee remote access from wherever they are. Regardless, of location every employee can share information on the dashboard from their cell phone. However, it does not offer a “SKYPE” feature. Management has sent a short questionnaire to you asking the following questions:
A) How would the new tool influence job performance positively in RLI?
B) Could dependence on a program which does not permit access to verbal or face to face communications hinder job performance in a global setting? If so why?
C) If the dashboard was only presented in English would this be a factor in its intracompany success?
D) One of the biggest reasons suggested for purchasing the system is that it allows information to flow both from top down to bottom up. Do you see this as possible if the company is not structured in a similar way? If so why, if not why not?
2) Email Over All! Richard Burton is one of the production supervisors at Lighting R Us a branch of RLI. Richard supervises 25 employees and has been performing well in this same job for 5 years. Burton wants a promotion in the foreseeable future but feels it unlikely. Burton is always “on”. He has 24/7 email access, texts al.

14 days agoDaniel Scott Information Technology Collapse.docx
- 1. 14 days ago Daniel Scott Information Technology Collapse Informed decision-making is an important aspect for working in the government. According to Milakovich and Gordon, provide some examples of how information technology can be used to assist bureaucrats in decision-making? Bureaucrats are neither able to anticipate every significant problem nor does the government consistently attempt to respond to problems prior to the problem reaching heightened levels. In many situations, aAbsent national security or natural disaster concerns, the national government lacks consistency in its response policy to address specific problems that arise. Thus government usually has to respond, instead of being in a position of being proactive, to such things as earthquakes, wild fires, floods and terror attacks/attempts. (Milakovich, M. E., & Gordon, G. J., pg. 376). As noted in our text readings; Frederick Taylor asserted a singular best practices approach to complete a task, absent consideration of the outside political impact or inside organizational dynamics; Max Weber failed to fully consider the inefficiency and misdirection of the organization; and Woodrow Wilson theorized a separation of politics and administration could be achieved. The culmination of these beliefs from founding scholars within the field, coupled with others, gave birth to oppositional schools of thought and ultimately an increase in citizen choice, participation and involvement with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), community service organizations, faith-based and nonprofit agencies. (Milakovich,
- 2. M. E., & Gordon, G. J., pg. 382). I contend that information technology also played a role in the spread of information that made it easier for citizens/participants/recipients to become more aware on issues and in turn provide information or feedback in various forms of data that is used by decision makers. It has also increased awareness and afforded these various groups to share information, galvanize positions which impact bureaucracy decisions. At the core of bureaucracy plans is to have an organization that achieves what it was designed to achieve. Information technology can facilitate that goal set by the organization. Information technology afforded the government bureaucrats the ability to resolve known and unknown problem that arise. The Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle affords Bureaucrats the ability to plan, respond, study and act. Specifically data gathering, afforded by technology, affords the decision maker an opportunity to make a systematic investigation of alternative options and integrate evidence for and against each option. Time-trend projection which affords the decision maker the ability to compare pre-program date with actual postprogram data of projects is another method. Information data can be accumulated over extended periods of time and allow for the creation of projection, then the decision maker can compare the actual results. Controlled experimentation is the comparison of preselected and similar groups of people some served by the program and some not serve. This data gathering approach is one of the more complex and costly evaluation processes. This approach can be combined with the time-trend projection and jurisdictional comparisons in the data gathering process.(Milakovich, M. E., & Gordon, G. J., pg. 408-409). Charles Jones, addressed the issue of program
- 3. implementation. He focused on three significant components: 1) Organization - establishment or rearrangement of resources; 2) Interpretation - translation of program language such as laws, rules and regulation into a format that is easier to understand; and 3) Application - routine provision or services, payments, etc based upon the organizational goal. (Milakovich, M. E., & Gordon, G. J., pg. 395). In modern times programs involve complex tasks. Information Technology Governance (ITG) has afforded the decision maker with a data gathering process, such as seen in the FBI crime data collection and Government Accountability Office (GAO), to make more informed decision. GAO is able to compare pre- program data with actual post program data; compare groups of similar people served by programs versus those not served by the program. Also, increased systematic evaluations on federal programs have led to better program performance under certain conditions. However; political support for or against a program can carry more weight than the actual informational results presented from the data gathered through the information technology process. An example of this problem can be seen in the national housing program. The housing program repeatedly falls short of its projected goals based upon independent evaluations. Despite the data showing that the program consistently fails to meet its goal, the interests for building low- income public housing are outweighed by the influence of other who oppose. Therefore, the program has continued since the 1940’s despite its failures. (Milakovich, M. E., & Gordon, G. J., pg. 411). References: Milakovich, M. E., & Gordon, G. J. (2013).

In today’s digital age, there are traces of scholars from the Classical Organization Theory setting who concepts and techniques have shaped the contemporary systems of our Federal Administration. The world wide web technology has allowed the government to share with the public different information, which allows the citizens to bring issue of concerns locally, regionally, and nationwide. For example, a public employee may want to engage with citizens about a current school district rezoning through the internet to gauge interest. Use of a computer and current population data can quickly send and receive the most updated information. “This is about public employees using the Web to directly engage with citizens or businesses about particularly problems or issues that they may have, in a public

Another example would be a non-profit organization who is working closely with a city to improve services through modernization and technology. For example, “Code for America, builds open-source software for local governments and organizes people to address complex city challenges; its fellowship program sends technology teams to local governments for a year to partner with officials” (Kamensky, 2015). This is one way of helping the city and its people to tackle the biggest problem a city may have for instance gang violence, police brutality, or growing homeless population. Finally, most major cities have made data available about their city transit systems for travel time, current road construction, and road conditions. For example, “The City and County of Denver has taken this one step further with its Denver Go app that integrates information across modes of transportation and allows a user to compare not only how long a journey takes with each method, but also the cost, environmental impact, and health benefits of each. The app uses real-time traffic data to create accurate estimates of arrival times” (Wiseman & Goldsmith, 2017). Real-time data can assist people in so many ways. The local, regional, and federal government use of modern technology allows the citizen to get accurate information immediately. The processes helps one to determine and decipher what is best for him or herself. This type of decision making can assist bureaucrat in making formal and informal decisions by simply sharing data to inform its people. As a result, the city can save tax dollars and focus on other issues that may surround an administration.
