Over the past weeks we have been examining the inference process, big data (which feeds this process) and now the inter-dependent nature of digital devices in a digital age. I invite you to follow the links below and explore the constructs of Information Overload and Machine Data. Find others of your own, as well. Do either of these constructs resonate with you? How do they interact with the erosion of boundaries between work and home life that many of you have referenced? How does our dependence on digital devices feed machine data and big data? How does it compromise our personal security? Try weaving one of these ideas into your thinking about ICT. The links are: Big Data Means Information Overload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MpfVD-c-QI http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2014/11/14/10-steps-to-conquering-information-overload/#7bd535d424fe Machine Data and Operational Intelligence http://www.splunk.com/en_us/resources/machine-data.html http://internetofthingsagenda.techtarget.com/definition/machine-data Solution hadoop .

Data Provenance is the third of Future Agenda’s ‘World in 2030’ foresights. In our data abundant, interconnected world mutual dependencies are often at the heart of key infrastructure. In this ever-expanding environment, it is vital to ensure that data systems are trusted. This is where data provenance comes in. Knowing the origin of data can help to assess its quality, accuracy and reliability. It also allows us to assess value and ownership and could contribute to the redistribution of profit when data is resold or reused. But does ubiquitous provenance mean that we will never be able to do anything, even remotely privately, ever again? And will the benefits of greater cyber security be an adequate compensation for this? Drawn from multiple expert discussions around the world, this foresight is one of 50 looking at the key issues for the next decade that are being shared throughout 2020. https://www.futureagenda.org/foresights/dataprovenance/ https://www.futureagenda.org/the-world-in-2030/

Data provenance - world in 2030

Future Agenda

After almost a quarter of a century of “being digital” where are our organizations? Why do we still need the consulting firms of the world to publish manifestos and howtos about “organizing for a digital world” or “the case for digital reinvention”? Is there a digital divide in the C suite? Will startups really disrupt incumbents? Do you have FOMO? Did it really take 25 years to get from “New Information and Communications Technologies” to ICT, to IT… can we agree just on the “T” now? Or do we call it Innovation? Free advice: it will not worked out as planned. This session will hopefully provide as many answers as questions and the speaker sure hopes to make it as entertaining as though provoking.

The success of an organization increasingly depends on their ability to draw conclusions regarding the various types of data available. Staying ahead of competitors requires many times to identify a trend, problem or opportunity microseconds before anyone else. That's why organizations must be able to analyze this information if they want to find insights that will help them to identify new opportunities underlying this phenomenon. People are spontaneously uploading large amounts of information on the internet and this represents a great opportunity for companies to segment according to their behavior and not only socio-demographic factors. Companies store transactional information from their customers by making them fill in forms but the challenge for brands is to enrich these databases with information describing their customer’s behavior and daily habits. This info can be obtained through the online conversation and can be processed, crossed and enriched with many other types of information through different models based on Big Data. Following this procedure, we can complement the information we already have from our customers without having to ask them directly and therefor providing more value-added proposals to clients from a brand perspective. Using the same technology with the right platform and the correct tactic, companies can achieve more ambitious goals that provide valuable information for the brand, which in turn could also enrich the customer’s experience, improving the customer journey for all types of clients. less

Exploring new mobile and cloud platforms without a governance strategy can have consequences. At the beginning of my IT career, I witnessed a number of decisions and project management practices which, at the time, just didn't seem to make sense. But I was young, and I often thought to myself that the people involved must have some other reasoning, some justification for their actions that I was just not privy to. In short, I remained quiet when I should have spoken up. What two decades of experience has taught me is that there is rarely reasoning or justification behind actions that, at a gut-level, are clearly bad IT practices. We inherently recognize when common sense has taken a back seat. There is most definitely a dark side to BYOD. For the most part, I am an advocate for the consumerization of IT (using non-standard apps and tools as a way to increase end user engagement and productivity) and support the bring-your- own-device model. However, as a seasoned manager and IT operations leader, I recognize the risks that come with the model if organizations do not properly plan out their strategies, putting sufficient protections and governance practices in place to manage the potential risks that could come from these unsupported devices and applications. End users often want what’s NEW, but there are valid reasons for imposing and enforcing safeguards when giving mobile business users access to your otherwise secure, scalable, and compliant systems. Some people equate governance with bureaucracy and hierarchical systems, but those perceptions often come from a lack of appreciation for the potential risks involved. Governance is about checks and balances -- supporting the tools and systems your end users want, but in a way that is manageable and which follows defined protocols. Examples of rogue IT practices A (http://harmon.ie/blog/new-survey-reveals-mobile-rogue-it-costing-us-organizations-almost-2b)recent uSamp survey (http://harmon.ie/blog/new-survey-reveals-mobile-rogue-it-costing-us-organizations-almost-2b) found that 41% of US mobile business users have used unsanctioned services to share or sync files, despite 87% saying they are aware that their company has a document sharing policy that prohibits this practice. And, 27% of mobile business users who “went rogue”, reported immediate and direct repercussions, from lost business to expensive lawsuits and financial penalties that cost $2 billion. While most IT professionals understand these risks viscerally, some business users need to crash and burn before they are willing to adjust their risky behaviors, which is not a message your employer wants to hear. Luckily, there is another way: learning from the mistakes of others. This month, I am one of six mobile security and IT experts judging a (http://www.rogueitstories.com/)"Rogue IT" contest (http://www.rogueitstories.com/). We’re collecting anonymous stories from the community ...

Deep learning is likely to have a big impact on business. McKinsey predicts that AI and robotics will create $50 trillion of value over the next 10 years. Over $1 billion of venture investment has gone to 250 deep learning startups over the past year. Deep learning systems have recently broken records in speech recognition, image recognition, image captioning, translation, drug discovery and other tasks. Why is this happening now and how is it likely to play out? We review the development of AI and the pendulum swings between the "neats" and the "scruffies". We describe traditional approaches to semantics through logics and grammars and the new deep learning vector semantics. We relate it to Roger Shepard's cognitive geometry and the structure of biological networks. We also describe limitations of deep learning for safety and regulation. We show how it fits into the rational agent framework and discuss what the next steps may be.

The cost of building a new high speed railway system is reported to be high at 25 billion. Does it neccesarily follow hat the high speed railway is not worth building? Solution The following factors should be considered besides only the cost of building the project- Land acquisition Railway projects require the land acquisition and also displacement of businesses and homes. Government has to work out fair compensation for those bearing the losses. Sometimes acquisition laws can be very complex. Allocating risk correctly The private sector also has to play a part in these projects This could be through system suppliers, construction companies, operating companies, rolling stock producers or private finance suppliers.Thus allocation of various risks has to be done correctly Securing funding Transport infrastructure is called a public good and the services are a benefit for a huge number of people. Thus, not only the financial returns but the social returns also need to be considered. A complete feasibility study should be done prior to starting this project. The other factors are- .

The concept of the accounting entity is considered by some to be the most fundamental of all accounting concepts. Discuss the concept and its pervasiveness in all of accounting. Does the concept apply to units created by or under law? To all activities of an owner or group of owners? To the U.S. economy? Solution The answer is as follows: Unit created by or under Law: The units which are created by or under law are, partnerships, corporations, and sometimes sole proprietorships which are accounting entities. product line segment of an enterprise: The product line segments of an enterprize are departments, division, branch, profit center and cost center, which are treated as accounitng entities. The example taken into consideration is when a financial reporting was supported by SEC, Investors, members of accounting profession and financial executives. A combination of legal units: Large organisations submit the consolidated financial report for two or more legal entities which comprise a controlled and manages economic entity. The financial reports for a organisation which includes two or more product line segments will also be considered as a single legal entity in consolidated reports. All activities of the owner or a group of owners: Business enterprise is defined as seperate and distinct from other activities of owners but it can be defined as all the activities of the owner or group of owners. The example considered is when the financial statements for the individuals and financials of an individual estate.

The computation of a safe installment payment for the XYZ partnership resulted in only partner Z receiving cash. Which of the following statements is correct? I. Partner Z lent the partnership cash, and the partnership had to pay back the loan to Z before distributing cash to X and Y. II. After assuming all noncash assets were potentially worthless and that assumed capital deficits created in X\'s and Y\'s capital balances were losses to be allocated to Z; Z\'s capital balance was the only capital balance left with a credit. (Points : 1) I only II only Either I or II Neither I nor II Solution The answer for the above question would be: II only (Z before distributing cash to X and Y. II. After assuming all noncash assets were potentially worthless and that assumed capital deficits created in X\'s and Y\'s capital balances were losses to be allocated to Z; Z\'s capital balance was the only capital balance left with a credit ). Explanation for the Answer is provided below: Under safe installment payment system, cash is paid to the partner, who still has excess credit in his account at the time of liquidation. Here, Z received all the cash, which means that the amount of capital deficit in X and Y can be allocated to Z. In other words, the amount of deficit in the capital accounts of X and Y will be borne by Z. .

The balance sheet is the cornerstone of the financial statements. The SEC has always wanted and expected more information and disclosure in the financial statements. Starting with the balance sheet, how could we expand on what is reported and how to disclose the information? Secondly, should we expand on what is available? Is there sufficient information already disclosed and in fact, are we possibly disclosing too much to the common reader as it is? Solution The balance sheet is a summary of firms\' assets and liabilities, including share capital and reserves at a defined moment in time. I t has been described as a snapshot or still picture of the financial position of a business entity The various groups interested in the company can also draw useful inferences form an analysis of the information contained in the balance sheet. The information contained in published financial statements is of particular importance to external users, such as shareholders and investors.

Solution In 1880, Sir Frederick Weld arrived in the Straits Settlements. He began to take personal interest in the development of the Malay States. In the middle of 1881, Weld visited the town of Taiping, in Perak. He found \"the revenue increasing and everything going on excellent well...\" but \"labour for public works and roads and to develop other industries and sources of revenue besides tin-mining,\" he lamented, \"is the great want\". he also reported that: \"Water supply for Taiping from the hill (Maxwell Hill), the roads to Krian, which will connect Taiping town centre with Province Wellesley, and a rail and tramway from Taiping to the port (Port Weld, which was named after him) are amongst the next most necessary works to be undertaken. the town of Taiping has been much improved since the fire, which took place rather more than a year ago; new streets have been laid out to considerable width, and a better class of houses has been built\" The construction of the Taiping - Port Weld railway was the beginning of a major transformation altering radically the landscape of the Malay Peninsula. It also brought the first influx of Indians (mainly Tamils) and Ceylonese to Perak. Sir Frederick Weld was in Taiping again in 1883 where he \"inspected everything\". He spent time going down the Port Weld railway line, then in the course of construction, \"on a truck behind the Engine\". He also put into effect plans to build a telegraph line along the road linking Taiping with Province Wellesley. It was nearing completion after which a railway along the same route would be constructed. .

P5. Use the financial information below to calculate and interpret the following ratios: A) Capital acquisitions ratio. B) Quality of income ratio. Solution A) Capital acquisitions ratio The capital acquisition ratio reflects the company\'s ability to finance capital expenditures from internal sources. A ratio of less than 1 indicates that capital acquisitions are draining more cash from the business than they are generating revenues. Capital Acquisition Ratio = (cash flow from operations - dividends) / cash paid for acquisitions. B) Quality of income ratio It is a tool to evaluate a business\' earnings performance. The ratio shows the percentage of earnings that have been actualized in cash. A high ratio is desirable because it indicates a large amount of earnings turning into profits. Quality of income = Cash flow from operating activities / Net income .
